this chanel dress has been a favorite of mine.

that embroidered tree is exquisite. it's a wonder.

scanned by me.

some of the images are cropped.

i think a little disclaimer is also needed here:

i'm well aware that these girls are overly frail.

i just want to let you know that i couldn't be further

from advocating skinniness or starving your body.

the sole reason for my sharing these is

that i personally find them inspiring (visually and designwise).

please look at them as fairies.
