Summer is soon coming to an end, and the fashion world is already offering Fall’s bounty. What’s a girl to do when the temperature is still rising, yet the pace of life is quickly racing to autumn? The awkward in-between seasons call for creativity and ingenuity. Luckily, Ogo lives in the Palm Beaches, where the art of season less dressing thrives. Which OgoVintage dress or suit is your choice for pre-Fall?

The Romance of Lace

Written by ogo on . Posted in Romantic & Seductive

There is a reason why many women choose wedding gowns made of lace.  The glorious Duchess of Cambridge had her friend Sarah Burton, for Alexander McQueen, create a wedding gown covered in lace, perhaps inspired by the lace wedding gown worn by Grace Kelly.  Lace adds instant femininity, on the romantic side in white or pale colors, and on the seductive side when done in black or a jewel tone.  Here are a few OgoVintage lace treasures, with the caption linked to the Etsy shop and the ebay store items available at the OgoVintage ebay store.
