Remembering Oscar de la Renta

I'm saddened by the news of the passing of this fashion legend. Oscar de la Renta created designs that truly honored women with feminine and romantic fashions with flattering silhouettes and those amazing florals. Oscar de la Renta's impact on the world of fashion will last forever.

Last year I wrote a blog post that sums up my admiration for his work. 

In My Dreams, I'm Wearing This: An Oscar de la Renta Gown

Can you fall in love with an evening gown even if you never actually go to a ball? I'm thinking you will if you check out Oscar de la Renta's glamorous ball gowns for Spring 2014 at NY Fashion Week.

I'm kind of obsessed with his romantic sweeping gowns, but I fell in love with the elegant strands of pearls paired with the dreamy aqua silk and the slim silhouette of his tiered column gown—every detail is fabulous. Imagine delicate rows of pearls along the edges of each tier. In my fantasy world where I'm certain I would be going to glamorous parties and wear only the most lovely things, I must be wearing Oscar's lovely silk georgette tiered gown with pearl trim from his Spring 2014 collection.
