Doll Baby

I haven't ever paid much attention to Orla Kiely aside from a dress I bought years ago at the Catbird that sold clothes - sad to find it closed! The Bedford location is still open, such a great name for a store. Anyways, the dress I bought was blue with white rick-rack. I guess you could say it resembled an Easter egg (in the best possible way). I've never been all that crazy about her bags but recently stumbled upon the Fall '09 clothing collection while browsing the lovely So Much To Tell You.









Needless to say I am totally digging the dollybird ruffly peter-pan collared goodness! If the images look like they're straight out of Lula that's because they were styled by Lula's Leith Clark. Reminds my so much of a darling little frock Miss Marianne would don in her pre-Mick/Anita days.







Oh Marianne!!!! You're so adorable, I almost can't bear to look at you...
