I have a real soft spot for Anthropologie’s special events brand, BHLDN.  I often find myself spending hours exploring their site, filled with the feel of vintage whimsy, for inspiration.  Needless to say when they reached out and invited me to view their Holiday ’12 collection there was no way I could refuse.  I was glad I’d chosen this feline print frock with a slightly retro fit for the enchanting affair.  Everything from the location (the Hotel Delmano in Brooklyn) to the cocktail menu (champagne and juleps) to the smallest embellished details (bow-adorned gloves and sparkling jewels) screamed timeless old world glamour.  And of course the dresses were no exception.
