Lace, once associated only with tablecloths and embroidery, is the fabric of the minute!
Stella McCartneys S/S 10 collection featured a number of dresses made solely of lace.
Some may find a pure lace dress difficult to pull off or dress up so in that case I would advise lace accessories.
Lace gloves may once have been seen as slightly Morticia Addams-esque but thanks to the likes of Lady Gaga and Tim Burton's 'Alice', they are the accessory de jour for the fashion forward.
Lace tights or over the knee socks in lace, are both highly accessible. Worn with a plain dress, they transform a regular outfit into one with more interest- they can either dress an outfit up or down depending on the colour or style...
Leap into Spring, embrace the lace!

Pretty-in-Pink
The latest collections showcase many pieces in the most delicate shades of pink, nude and oyster.
Flattering to all skintones, nude is the colour of the season.
Nude dresses in floaty chiffons and silks are particularly becoming in the nicer weather. The 2010 Oscars showcased a dress by Atelier Versace, seen on Demi Moore, which is the perfect example. Minimal make-up and a light dressing of jewellery make sure these dresses are a statement piece on their own.
For day-to-day wear, nude cardigans or ballet flats add a delicate touch to any outfit.
Pearls in shades of sugar pink are of the moment and can be picked up very cheaply on the high street.
Nudes can also be paired with another big Spring hit- lace. Stella McCartney produced a range of light-as-air lace dresses in the colour of the minute. Both elegant and versatile, nude is the only thing to be seen in this season!
