"Let them eat cake!"
She may have gotten herself beheaded, but at least Marie Antoinette kept her head long enough to influence pre-revolutionary France with her fashions. Nows, centuries later, she's back with gusto, leading one of fall's newest trends, and has even landed herself a role (played by Ms. Kirsten Dunst, no less) in Sophia Coppola's new film, aptly titled, "Marie Antoinette". Vive la revolution!

I like the lace blouse, but I can't possibly think of a way I could wear it without coming across as a complete fashion disaster
I think the key to this look is to wear a single piece and then pair it with something simple. I think you could wear the blouse with some skinny jeans and a fitted blazer and not look like you're trying to hard.
I thought I was going to hate this trend but I really think I could get into it. There is something naturally lovely about delicate lace.
I agree!!
Everyone here has such good taste! :)
love how you sewed (fashion terminology! get it! get it?!) the movie, history, fashions, and photos together in this blog, and i only wish i could afford the styles that you featured. LOVE that long white chanel lace concoction.
...and can't WAIT to see the movie. it's almost too many months of hype pre-release, it's almost unbearable. i don't care if it's plot-less, i just want to be dazzled!
ok, rambling. just found your blog and i likes.
: )
THANK YOU dollface!!!
