I love this collection so much: the colors, the silhouettes, the entire aesthetic. It reminds me of a summer wedding in Rome (or in other words, it reminds me of what we might wear on such an occasion).

I always loved the porcelain rose collection from 1928 Jewelry... It finally dawned on me that it's possible to incorporate "antiquey" pieces and make them work with my wardrobe. This pair of earrings is next on my wish list.
