Details I Adore

There are those small little details that can make an otherwise average garment, something special and treasurable. Some of my favorites are listed below.


Broderie Anglaise... Exposed Zips... Gold Hardware... Grosgrain Ribbon... Luxurious Lining... Satin Bows... Velvet Collars.

I absolutely adore my Marc by Marc Jacobs grey winter coat from last season, mostly because of it's fuchsia pink heavy satin lining.

The thick exposed zip running down the spine of my chiffon Lux dress from Urban Outfitters stood it apart from any other floral print dress I considered purchasing at the time.

And the black, grosgrain ribbon I used to make shoulder straps, when altering a red plaid strapless wool top, turned a second hand find into a wardrobe jewel.
