Ruffled Feathers

When I was a wee little thing, I couldn't get enough of girlie stuff. Barbies, jewelry, dresses, ponies and ruffles.

Then something happened around junior high. I hated all things girlie. Began wearing blue jeans, simplified my design sensibilities, and started listening to Jimi Hendrix.

None of those things have changed, except the ruffles part. I think I started my love affair again when I saw that fabulous episode of Sex and the City. You know the one. Where she spies a pair of Christian Louboutin ruffled shoes in the window and seductively whispers, "Hello Lover."

And WHO can forget that Versace Couture dress from the last episode...

I love a good ruffle.

And I love a good ruffle on top of another ruffle.

So here are my favorite finds that have not just one, but many beautiful, girlie ruffles. Embrace the girlie!
