Loving Lover's Lace

Sometimes, you can't help falling in love with a designers new collection. Something takes hold of you and you become obsessed with the idea of 'that' particular dress or 'this' specific handbag from the Spring/Summer collection 2014. I won't deny that I have spent countless hours flicking feverishly through online boutiques, scanning through Vogue articles and trawling across the internet looking at numerous pictures of collections that have caught my eye. Yes, usually I am restrained and manage not to purchase any of the beautiful pieces that make my heart race faster than it rightfully should...though this may have more to do with the fact that if I did purchase said item i'd be eating meegoreng for the next three months...and let's be honest, no one wants to submit themselves to that. But when I laid eyes on Lover The Label's newest collection 'White Magick', I made a pact with myself that I would eat an entire footballs team's weight in noodles if it meant I could get my hands on one of these dresses. Oh yes, challenge accepted.

After receiving countless requests from customers who were eager to lay their hands on out-of-stock dresses, Lover designers Susien Chong and Nic Briand decided to revive 15 of their most iconic designs in perfect white lace-and thus was borne Lover's first ever bridal collection. While targeted at brides to be, there's nothing to stop anyone buying one of these dresses (except maybe the $2000-$3000 dollar price tag) just because they're absolutely amazing. What draws women to Lover's pieces is the timeless classic appeal of the designs that embrace a delicacy and femininity that put horrible meringue monstrosities to shame. Each dress looks as though it was made for the etherial goddess who rides unicorns up and down the beach at sunset in their spare time before returning home to their crystal palace and having high tea with Ryan Reynolds...ahem, not that iv'e ever thought about doing this.

 

  

But let's face it, who wouldn't feel like some kind of Aphrodite in dresses that are so perfectly hand-crafted. Each piece is created from the most delicate fabric (hence the price tag...cue Jessie J) and made to last a lifetime. Sure, you may be reduced to eating packet noodles for longer than your liver can probably handle, and hell, you may even have to find yourself a fake last minute husband who doesn't actually look a thing like Ryan Reynolds just to justify the cost. But when we're talking about clothes this amazing, eating too much Asian food and holding a mock wedding seems completely suitable...necessary even.
