Although I usually feature clothing I myself would wear, I can appreciate beautiful clothing that would never work on me. I’m pretty sure I’ve featured Emma Cook previously, but I haven’t looked at any of her recent collections for some time. Cook’s line emphasizes a wispy, feminine aesthetic dominated by flowing silhouettes, lace, and embroidery. As you can see however, this femininity isn’t at all treacley or cutesy. So, while I would feel like a complete idiot wearing most of these pieces, I have no problem admiring the work. I’ve posted pics from the Resort 2010 collection.

I’ve been hesitant to post British online shop, Amelie because it doesn’t appear that they ship outside the UK, but they have such a nice selection I decided to afterall. Actually, it looks like they will but you probably have to email or call to make international shipping arrangements. Nevermind! A very helpful person from Amelie just sent me this:

“Hi, Shipping is worldwide! Check out the delivery and returns page (http://www.amelieboutique.com/delivery.html). Also if you are out of the European Union you’ll get the tax (15%) deducted at checkout!”

Some of these items are likely found in the States for less, but I’ve bookmarked the site for those times when they carry a hard-to-find item not readily available in North America.

And I think I’m caught up on posts now since I missed Thursday and Friday of last week!
