My friend Trinity Eales of Shameless dropped this lovely gown on me a few weeks ago. Trinity doesn’t follow fashion blogs so I doubt she intended for me to blog this – just sharing something she thought I would like. She knows green is my favorite color. I was really excited to see the dress, too, as it’s very different from what she usually makes.  I am not positive, but I think this might be her first formal dress. At any rate, I love the rich emerald satin and the elegant simplicity of the design.

One of the interesting details in her design is that the inner lining of the skirt is a contrasting green which gave light and appeal to the skirt movement. I also liked the flirty pointy hem – not quite a handkerchief hem – but some modification of that. It lets you get a peek of the deliciously adorable shoes from LiNe. I wore them with another dress I will be posting soon, so you can get a better look.  The jewelry is from Paper Couture and only such a simple but dramatically colored dress such as this can suit such marvelous baroque jewelry.

The makeup is from Fleur – one of the new winter skins – and the green shadow and red lips sure put me in the holiday mood.
