Have a look just what Harper's Bazaar Australia's own Christine Centenera
 can do in SS2011 Lover black floral lace gown and Bassike leather pants paired fittingly with Tom Ford pumps no less! Captured on the streets of Paris today during the couture collections. 

I have always been a true "lover" of lace, I think secretly or maybe even subconsciously until now not just for its delicate beauty but to be covered in florals no matter the occasion.....

Anja Rubik daring in an exquisite sheer black lace robe after Armarni Prive collections at Tocadero in Paris.... ah this super model never ceases to amaze

tu me manques printemps

This weekends sun-drenched winter weather in Sydney brought on the feeling of a spring / summer spent in the south of France, where garden roses bloomed up above my head and long days were spent along the sands of the coast.... Tu me manques la Côte d'Azur....
