GRECIAN BEAUTIFUL

"Bold lover, never, never canst thou kiss,
Though winning near the goal - yet, do not grieve;
She cannot fade, though thou hast not thy bliss,
For ever wilt thou love, and she be fair"

[Excerpt from Ode on a Grecian Urn, John Keats]

So Mr. Keats wrote that while thinking of a big old vase. The lovers never got to, well um, love each other. Hey, the poem was written in 1819, so we can overlook the hot steamy sex that could have occurred between the two beautiful people. More importantly, the poem was more about ephemeral yet eternal beauty anyway.

While it is dark and dreary outside on this cold March day, there are some fashionable goodies out there that can still turn on the heat for spring: Grecian Goddesses anyone? It is about time you get your hands on a dress inspired by one of these colourful designs and go turn some heads!

(Btw, my favourite is the red dress by Valentino...the model looks like cloud of red smoke flowing away...away...away...)

Set 1: Monique Lhuillier, Valentino, Carolina Herrera

Set 2: Narciso Rodriguez, Blumarine, Missoni

Set 3: Versace, Versace, Versace! I love florals and that striking blue...I couldn't help it!

Dresses 10-12: Emanuel Ungaro, Oscar de la Renta, Chloe

Enjoy and thank you, Spring!
