Zip It Up


I simply can't resist zippers! They make the most mundane things interesting; like a basic racerback dress in a neutral grey tone.

Top This, Topshop!



For girls who walk into Topshop for inspiration more than purchasing purposes, I have got good news for you! Here's a true vintage floral print dress that somehow manages to look even edgier than its Topshop counterpart thanks to its unique black straps. Too good to be true, no?

A one-piece wonder that will get you from drab to fab in a jiffy. Runway-worthy slouchy top and fitted bottom to make your legs look miles longer makes this dress a saviour for those "I don't know what to wear" days!

Hip to be Stiff AGAIN


Stiff little dresses are incredibly Twiggy-esque, don't you think? Just pair with tights and put on lashings of mascara! Wear that doe-eyed expression and crop your hair for that full-on effect (yes, we're getting a bit carried away).

The Temptation



Oh darn it. I'm at it again. I told myself I'm off online shopping for a few weeks. So far, the time has been chugging quite painlessly along. UNTIL I SAW THIS!!!!

Ok, the only reason I'm reviewing this is so that you girls can go snap it up quick so that temptation will be removed from my sight!

Love Affair

I absolutely LOVE slightly oversized, slouchy, long top/minidress thingamajigs! People who are slightly lazy and have a boyish figure (i.e. flat chested) would understand this obsessive love that I have for things like that.

Waiter, There's A Fly In My Soup

You'll be getting a lot more comments like that in this little number! Not because you resemble a person that waits tables but because you look so cute in it! Ok, so lame. But bottomline is: this is an incredibly cute dress. GET. IT.

Plaid Playmates

Oh if I had a sister, a playmate, a BFF who shared my fashion fetishes to wear this with. I'll wear the first one and she'll wear the second one and we'll go play with Lassie on the Prairie to the Sound of Music. Yes, all those together in one pretty picture. Ahh...
