These dresses bring the following questions to my mind:

Blake Lively In Paris

The Penguin Dress

Okay, I know I’m lagging way behind, considering this is from Episode 12 of the first season of Gossip Girl. Still, I think better late than never!

The tuxedo bib-dress that Blair is wearing is the closest (so far) to my idea of the perfect dress. The cut, the length, the sleeves, the ribbon on the [...]

Uniqlo Again

Somehow we’d been writing so much about Uniqlo nowadays - there’s risk of an over-hype, but we shall see how they fare locally when they finally make their way to our lovely shores
The latest hoo-ha is the launch of the Alexander Wang capsule collection for the Basics Paradise.

Of Ponies and… Zebras?!

Fashion 156 is having their Print Issue, which is great for me because I love prints!
I was clicking through their Must Have section, I came across this dress - and fell in love!
