Victorian Lace
This Shakuhachi lace dress that I wore to a recent cocktail party was love at first sight. The love was so strong that I had to buy this dress in every color available… luckily there were only two. This one in black lace and here is the twin sister in neon pink (I wore it to Australian fashion week).
However, what may look like a silly impulse buy was in fact a clever stylistic maneuver. Firstly, because rarely does a dress strike me so strongly, the fact that this Shakuhachi number did means a lot. Secondly, its timeless silhouette will last many seasons. It’s versatile – I’ve already concocted plans for styling it in several different outfits. Finally, and probably the most important reason is it reminds me of the Victorian era which is my favorite for fashion. Ummm… and should I mention it was on sale?
Outfit details: Shakuhachi dress (also saving for this dress), Diva necklace (similar here), Zomp over the knee boots (similar in suede here)

You know it’s a damn good investment because of how GORGEOUS AND AMAZING you look in it!!! Keep that dress safe! I can’t tell you how much I love how you’ve styled it – I think this might be my second favorite look of yours EVER after the Great Gatsby one (that said, I love all the styles you do but these have to be the most stand out ones where I feel like framing your picture, haha!).
GORGEOUS TO NO END! Cue: Applause.

Gorgeous dress, definitely timeless and I love the eye makeup you’ve done for this look!

Amazing on you Maria! The whole ensemble is striking. And your make up looks flawless xx
This is perfection! The lace and the boots are so sexy yet not at all slutty. And the necklace is a lovely eye draw. Beautiful.
You are so stunning! Gosh! Your baby girl is going to be the envy of all her friends with a trendy mother’s wardrobe like yours haha
