Valentine's Day Gift Guide: Fairy Tale Romance
While naturally, Valentine’s Day provides the perfect opportunity to tap into your frilly, romantic side, this season is a particularly good time to embrace jewels, lace, and all things ladylike and old-fashioned. Design houses like Marchesa provided plenty of fashion inspiration for the look in their Spring 2011 collections.
1. Lace & Ruffle Shirt A frothy lace blouse is the kind of thing that never goes out of style.
2. Antique Art Deco Silver Paste Pendant Necklace This fine silver pendant adds a glamorous, dressed-up feel to any Valentine's Day outfit.
3. Antique Pewter Sugar Bowl This pewter sugar bowl lends a regal spin to afternoon teatime.
4. Silver Paste Swallow Brooch This delicate bird brooch would make such a sweet accent on a silk blouse or jacket lapel.
5. Antique Lace Bridal Handkerchief Exquisite antique lace screams old-fashioned Valentine's Day romance.
6. Victorian Beaded Evening Bag Tap into her inner princess by way of blush pink satin and shimmery crystals.
7. Art Deco Compact Mirror Inside this slick case, adorned with a jeweled bumble bee, is a pocket-size mirror for touch-ups on the go.
