Nyla Cheeky had her semi-annual 50% sale that convinced me that now is the time to get this dress I have been eying for months. Called Sainte Marie, it is rich confection of detailed black embroidery on vibrant blue. Nyla’s a real life designer who often brings her creations in-world so we can enjoy her creativity. Many of her dresses make me smile and even laugh out loud with their bright cheery colors and droll with. Relatively restrained for a House of Nyla dress, the Sainte Marie still has that special touch – in the detailed embroidery, the naughty black netting ruffle peeping out below the skirt and the custom shoes to coordinate, for example.  This is a dress for afternoon parties that can take you into an evening event – and the bright blue does wonders for most people’s eyes.

With the dress, I chose Trixie Bumbo’s Noctune, a delicate and intricate necklace originally designed to go with Haunted Zuzu’s butterfly dress. Nonetheless, the detail and black pearls echo the embroidery in the dress and make it the perfect accompaniment.
