{ Paris Haute Couture }
Spring/Summer 2010
"Florals? For spring? Ground breaking."
~ Miranda Priestly
("The Devil Wears Prada," 2006)
Yes, it's almost springtime again.
Although designers truly cut loose on their haute couture shows, it's hard to translate their creations to something tangible for "the rest of us."
So here are some tidbits from Paris that struck me as being especially fabulous, something we can attain... Or simply daydream about!
