The Marni, doutzen or Stella dress for browsing through the St Ouen antiques market in Paris this Spring.

I have been in love with the Kate dress for quite some time. Being a very young mother I often times lack motivation to still feel pretty. I throw myself into house work, and everything else that’s a whirlwind. I think the dress would remind me to stop and play with my beautiful son, and to feel beautiful myself.
