With Valentine's Day not far away, it put me in mind of a moonlit night, a beautiful dress and a set of strong arms with a true heart to twirl into as the sound of a tender ballad plays in the distance. There are so many lovely places to have such a moment; but a long held favorite of mine is the Grand Ballroom found at Avilion Grove. This particular venue has been around for over 10 years and is always open and welcoming to all who venture there, providing that they are formally attired. The structure and surrounding entrance area looks largely the same as it did when I first saw it in 2006 and, ironically, I find that I'm glad it still looks the same, as opposed to my usual preference of appreciating a more updated location.
For this visit, I chose to wear this gorgeous new release by Apple May. It's feminine silhouette and sweeping train combined with the luxurious look of the material provides a bold statement without over doing it. A gathered pleat at the hip and delicate lacing in the back add those nice extra touches that take a dress from "pretty" to "OOOOOOO" lol. For jewelry I added Kibitz' pearl choker from Epiphany and a pair of great earrings from Lazuri that offers several options in terms of metals, gems and pearls to finish the look. Now I'm ready to sweep across the dance floor and create new magical memories in this beautiful ballroom. Hope to see you there!
