Not that I’m complaining about the California weather (at 75°F in January it would be a sin!) but after I’ve seen these dresses from J.Mendal’s Spring 2010 Collection I wished for the warm spring days when you can be irrationally romantic and groundlessly happy.

“What is my message for Spring?” mused Gilles Mendel… “Specialness, preciousness, and value—with a little something to make you dream.” Spoken like a true Frenchman.
