Polyvore/25Park Contest Win!!!

25Park by RenaissanceGyrl featuring Gucci bags

So, this is a nice little surprise folks!!! My new guilty pleasure, Polyvore, has brought some goodies to my closet...well, not yet, exactly. I'm running to the mailbox every morning, I mean, waiting on the gift certificate to come in the mail. $500 gift certificate, to be exact.

I created this set while longing for some tranquility. While shuffling through the vast library of fashion items and art that is Polyvore, I came across this lovely portrait of a beautiful lady walking through a pasture. I don't know about you, but for me, the maxi dress defines comfortable, lazy days while maintaining a chic sense of style. So this was a perfect backdrop for the outfit I wanted to create. Adding an additional tree, branches, clay pots, and color panels gave the background more depth and texture.

The Vassilisa Maxi Dress from 25park.com was the perfect dress for this set....if only that gift certificate were for a larger amount....so gorgeous. The Elizabeth and James Kimono fleece cardigan is a perfect piece, all around. The silhouette is timeless, and Nude is the new black. This just may be one of my purchases....
The additional accessories dressed up the look even further. Who couldn't use $9400 in fabulous jewelry? The chandelier earrings were a great find on 25park.com, and the huge quartz Geode ring fit perfectly into my natural habitat. Beautifully adorned Antik Batik sandals and the Matta Dupatta shawl polished the look even more. This beautiful Gucci hobo reminded me of an earthy tapestry, and fit perfectly into my color palette. When I imagined being in this setting, I imagined smelling grass and citrus...Guerlain's Aqua Allegoria Herba Fresca sends me there.

Looking at the finished set...I really felt like I was in that tranquil pasture. I'm really happy to see the responses from my fellow Polyvorians. Now to figure out exactly how I'll spend the money.....
