The Mullet Dress

By on 19:10


Of all the trends that have cropped (hehe) up over the past few years, the "mullet" dress has to be one of the most contested styles. With a cropped front, displaying the females most flattering asset (her kneecaps) I speculate over the longevity of this hemline.
The only label that could make me question my firmly held beliefs - Lover of course. I had the pleasure of trying on the gorgeous "Gothic" dress, but decided the small fortune I would have to spend on it could be someone else pleasure.


In the meantime, I'll have to settle for the Topshop version.

Lace Just Makes Me Happy

By on 18:59




Lace is the fabric I come back to time and time again, be it to oggle at or fill the spaces of my wardrobe. Designers artfully drap the fabric to complement form, using the space between to hint at (rather than reveal) what lies beneath.  The spectrum of lace runs from demure innocence to utter sex, making it the perfect choice no matter what girl I wake up as on any given day.

Lover Serpent Dress.
 
Valentino in white and blush.

Miranda Kerr in Lover perfection (with red lip to boot).

Elie Saab AKA designer-of-every-lust-worthy-gown I have ever dreamt about.
 
Dolce and Gabbana on the beach (very practical).

 The more affordable Topshop skirt.

Finally, you can't discuss lace without bridal connotations. Black bride versus White bride.
