So, to start off this bit, I have just a bit of a history lesson for y’all lovely stylephiles bbz. Remember all that fancy china your mom and grandma had arranged so perfectly in your dish cabinet?

Magic Conch, will my apartment ever look like this?

No.

Well, that beautiful, blue-and-white, flowery, dreamy pattern is called Delft, named after its place of origin in the Netherlands. This past year, delft print has proliferated all over the fashion world – turning Delftware into Delft wear. (Eh? Eh?)

So, after I managed to wipe all the drool off my face/hair/computer/any bystanders, I immediately went on the internet prowl for all things delfty. (I just realized delfty sounds like dilfy, heh. ANYWAY), the fruits of my results were quite abundant. Dresses, heels, suits – you name it, they have a delft-ified cousin for it. If you think you’re ready to try out delft are a couple of starters!
