Zaara's Closet

Zaara did wear the Little Mass Pink Roses dress (US$82 in Everything But the Princess; size 6X only) at her birthday party on March 5 (by the way, Le Pink and Little Mass are the same company). The dress has tiny shoulder straps, so she wore it with a Mini Boden hot pink cardigan (US$40 at Nordstrom) and pink sequinned ballerina shoes. Beware though, the dress is short. Size 6 would fit a five-year old.

Little Mass has taken ruffles and rosettes

to a much higher plane (that is not to say that I like all of their dresses!). Just check out some of their ruffled avatars below. The red roses dress (US$66 in La Bella Flora; sizes 2-4) is similar in style to the pink one that Zaara wore at her party. So is the fuchsia rosebud dress (US$73 in Everything But the Princess;  size 10 only). So very charming.

Will it be the very romantic Little Mass pink roses dress?

Here is another lovely holiday partywear as far from the shimmery pageant-style dresses as possible.  The Little Mass Rose Buds Dress is elegant and fun at the same time (this picture doesn’t do it justice). Red and pink rosebuds scattered on the bodice of an otherwise sedate black/midnight blue chiffon dress, anything but predictable, and right up my ally. Originally US$89, Britchin Post has marked it down to US$53.4 (size 7-12).  Wear with the very elegant star-dipped ballet flats (US$55) by Crew Cuts.
