Whether it’s a weekend getaway at a luxury hotel, a bouquet of roses for your bedside table, or an evening gown you’ve been eyeing.. once in a while it’s nice to indulge in life’s little luxuries. If you’re a fashion lover, take some time tonight to browse through Moda Operandi’s gorgeous site. It’s the destination for unique, one-of-a-kind products and brands you won’t find anywhere else. One of my guilty pleasures is scrolling through the blush pink pages to just admire the pretty finds. They do such a great job of romancing the products, I love their online shopping experience.

For this shoot, I styled the Alexis Jeslyn Embroidered Illusion Dress from Moda Operandi that features a round neck, a nude bandeau bodice and mini skirt with and floral stitched embroidered sheer overlay. This would be a great dress for a winter charity ball or formal black tie wedding. I paired it with a crushed velvet clutch and styled it with both a mauve pink wintery fur and leather jacket for two different looks. Alicia of Aesthetiica and I had so much fun shooting this. Everything worked together so well – the gothic style architecture, moody/rainy weather, and stunning dress! Loving the fairytale vibes 🙂

Moda Operandi offers haute couture, emerging designers, occasion dresses, jewelry, bags, shoes and accessories. They also have a beautiful bridal section for all you brides-to-be!  Here’s a little shop I put together of a few unique finds.
