On the topic of childhood, I must say fairy tales have given us girls unrealistic expectations of the world. We think Prince Charming will come and sweep us off our feet and we'll live happily ever after. There is no such thing...why were there no cartoons to prepare us for the real world? Uni life, friendships, the ups and downs of dating, FULL TIME WORK!?
Cinderella was one of my favourite stories...if only I had a fairy god mother and a team of mice, wouldn't that make life a whole lot better?
Embarking into the corporate world has made me wonder if I could have been better prepared for the change. My social life is out the window and I feel like such an old woman savoring any quiet time I have at home.
But no matter how unrealistic whatever it was we were exposed to as children, we continue to dream. And one of the things we dream about is our wedding day. Whether or not we are in a relationship and whether or not we're anywhere near getting married, we think of our special day dressed in white. And as friends and relatives close to me are getting hitched, the dream seems to be getting closer (or at least we'll be able to see others dressed in white if it isn't ourselves).
I sometimes wonder what my dress will look like...then I came across an article about Lanvin's Collection Blanche. It's relatively old news, but I thought how interesting if your wedding dress could be beautiful and practical (and not something you'll only wear once)...you'll be able to bring back memories of your special day with these off the rack pieces and they've been designed to break the rules of conformity...enjoy ladies!
P.S: If I haven't already made it clear, I'm not getting married nor am I hinting. This article is purely for fashion's sake :) xo
