Cameo



We had a mini heat-wave at the start of October, giving me the chance to wear this dress one final time this year. Once again I found myself inspired by Bottega Veneta and their jewellery offerings...this time the lava cameo pieces presented for SS2011. The usual fusty connotations of cameos were turned on their head with varying shades of carved lava rock and blackened filigree. The classic Roman profiles carved from volcanic lava got me thinking of Ancient Rome, Vesuvius, draping...basically, that's how I got to this outfit. I dug out a few cameo pieces (annoyed I forgot about my cameo ring...oh well)....and added a tasselled belt I searched for months for and have hardly worn.  





Vintage dress, belt (eBay), shoes (Bruno Premi)



Faux-bob, angular liner and no lipstick (I barely recognise myself without painted lips!)

The colour of your dress is so pretty, it's one of my favourite colours! The black accessories complement your outfit very well, that black jewellery is simply amazing... And I think you look great with or without lipstick :).

Such an inspiring outfit! I love the sheer dress and the colour is beautiful on you. Love the addition of the rope belt as well!
