Fleur Wood Resort Collection

To: Global Warming
From: Old Man Winter
Re: Detente

Well, you’ve proven a tougher adversary than anticipated. (Thanks to you, Mother Nature is threatening to give me the boot.) This weathered codger may be past his prime, but there are young folks who still remember me with fondness.

Like that darling Aussie designer Fleur Wood. Her romantic resort collection of delicately embroidered dresses and tops in shades of winter white causes a flurry of compliments. (Even when temps hover around 60.)

The Lazy Sunday strapless dress has a whiteout effect at holiday affairs: disorientation ensues. Layers of lace make the So Lovely number ice princess material. And snow angels go for easy-to-wear pieces like the Dreaming Girl blouse and Lazy Sunday smock.

And so, in the spirit of defiance, I say: Let it snow.

Available at Dylan, 2146 Chestnut Street, between Steiner and Pierce Streets (415-931-8721 or dylanboutique.com). To see styles, go to fleurwood.com.
