Those are the best apples in all of Ralph Lauren world. duh.

The blouse is really cute! I might have to go back and try on the black one. For some reason, even though I'm sort of "anti black clothes" I really like AF stuff in that color over white. I think it makes it less "precious." Does this make sense? I sort of like feeling like a vampire princess sometimes, you know? I was also considering duplicating my black ruffle blouse I already have in white to wear with cardigans and stuff. I don't know that I could do both though as there are other things that I really need more (like dresses and summer tops).

I wish I had taken a full on photo of the whole Ralph Lauren display, I really don't understand it myself. Its like, a guy in a construction outfit, and then there's the bowl of apples, and then the mannequin with all the whips, lol. I do really like the actual outfit though. I think it's the bright red skinnies with the sweater (I love sweaters with interesting necklines).

That was one of my fav AF blouses. AMAZING!

The RL display is about the horse sport Polo. It’s to tie up RL’s “polo” brand. Horses like apples and win cups and rosettes at competitions. I think the outfit on the mannequin is super.

Ha ha! So I WAS right--Polo Dominatrix! Dang...I wish it weren't so hot here, I would snap that outfit up in a second. I love the buckles on the sweater, and red skinnies? I'm there!

The AF blouse is awesome. The solid white part is made of a soft stretchy cotton, and then the poufy bits are organza (I think), but it's not itchy AT ALL (like I expected it to be). I am definitely trying the black on.

WOW Ana, that was actually my personal favourite! And you look gorgeous in it! I think you should go back and try the black one on as well, not just because you'd make a fierce vampire princess but because I really need to see how that looks as well;-)))

Oh about the anti black thing: the upper part of the blouse is sheer and that can make a difference in my experience.

Oh boy, I just saw on the website that there's a shop in Antwerp that sells Anne Fontaine blouses. There's no way I'll be able to keep away!

Inge, I love AF! Ever since I went in there and tried some of the stuff on, I've been hooked. Her things are expensive, more money than I spend on anything else, but everytime I put something on of hers I just feel magical.

When I go and try on the black blouse I will definitely take a picture and post it here!

You deserve to feel magical.

Wow Ana! I love the black blouse you bought, and the white “vampire princess” one you tired on is my absolute favorite. My list of favorites are #2, 6, 8, 22, 23, 25, 26, 28, 40, 44, and 45. OK, so I love a lot of them. I just looked at the accessorized as well and love the necklace #30 and belt 37. Unfortunately, all are miles out of my price range, and the nearest stores are in Illinois and Texas. Le sigh. Perhaps I'll save up for one and hope for a trip to Texas.

Totally off topic: I walked past the Anne Fontaine shop in Antwerp yesterday and there was a 'help wanted' sign in the shop-window. I'm not looking for a job but couldn't help thinking 'just imagine the employee discount... and I'd probably get to wear a different AF blouse every day....' Quite tempting;-)
