To Be Adored

To be completely honest, it's difficult for me to pinpoint exactly why I like recently-launched British label TBA (To Be Adored) so much. The label specializes in flirty, feminine frocks, with a vintage inspired touch. Sounds like half the other saccharine-sweet brands lining the rows of most department stores, right? Did I mention that this season was inspired by Mia Farrow? What sets TBA apart from the rest however are all the loving details: hand beaded Peter Pan collars, subtly sexy sheer panel insets, and the beautiful contrast of a muted palette with metallic accents. The pieces would appeal the staunchest girly-gal, but at the same time have enough charming design detail and flair to appeal to ladies with a slightly edgier sensibility. And frankly, after what's seemed like an endless winter (another snow storm tomorrow?!) I'm so ready to throw off my layers of gray jersey and sober sweaters and have a seriously blush-colored spring.
