Sometimes I wonder: will I ever get tired of pink? While this lovely color provides feelings of caring, tenderness, self-worth and love you have to be careful with pink when it comes to home decor. I adore these delicate pink details, especially the smart and pretty laundry room. What do you think?

I almost don't believe those cold winter days are finally over and the time of awakening is upon us. While it's still pretty cold here in China and I'm celebrating these first days of March with a little flue, I've found out Michelangelo, Frederik Chopin, Antonio Vivaldi, Johann Strauss and Albert Einsten were all born in this wonderful month...

Jimmy Choo has launched its first fragrance early this year, imagine femininity, luxury, and style...bottled. I had no chance to try this perfume yet but it contains Tiger Orchid, sweet Toffee and Indonesian Patchouli which sounds heavenly to me and so far I love the stylish bottle which has been inspired by the opulence of Murano glass. Any thoughts or experience on this one?

Hello Angels. I hope you had/you're having a lovely Valentine's Day. Don't you just love this delicate dress on Olivia Palermo? Does anyone know the brand of the dress? I would say it's Lanvin but I'm not sure...and of course it's a Valentino dress...on Valentine's Day...I just couldn't plan this any more perfect.

OTHER DREAM DRESSES:
A dramatic white silk-satin gown by Rachel Gilbert and a fun and feminine dress with an oversized bow by Sonia Rykiel. I'm absolutely in love with this beautiful sheer cream lace dress from Leaves of Grass and with this elegant black dress from Notte by Marchesa. Check out this fun feather silk - faille dress from Jason Wu and this gorgeous silk dress with an exciting open back from Alberta Ferretti.

White lace...hmmm...can you go wrong with it? Yes, you absolutely can but obviously it's not the situation in this case. When I first discovered this beautiful editorial with Constance Jablonski "I couldn't help but wonder": exactly how many days we have left until spring is officially here? Cause I just can't wait...

...and thank God there is only 58 days to go...

My favorite Hungarian designer Makany Marta recently released a book called: Eskuvo /Wedding/ and I just attended on its press conference yesterday. The beautiful book is a wonderful guide for every bride, contains great advices from the designer about how to pick the perfect wedding dress. The event was stylish and lovely just like Marta's creations /and Marta herself/ and I've got my precious copy signed by the designer. I'm happy to announce that Makany Marta and Absolutely Ladylike will have several collaboration in the future and we have some fabulous surprises for you - including a giveaway.
