// Front flash

Posted on | January 12, 2010 | 9 Comments

I’m starting to like this front flash look. It is severe, amateurish, honest — and somehow compelling.

This reminds me a lot of the beginning of nineties. I guess that I have actually lived the whole grunge thing through. But on the other hand wearing giant second hand sweaters, flannel shirts and army boots was not that big style statement back then (well, not for me I mean)… …it was more like a natural thing to do with limited student budget.

But now my slouchy layers begin with T by Alexander Wang dress, DIY chain & cross jewelry, Doc Martens, COS cardigan, Acne coat, DIY mohair scarf, H&M scarf, DIY chunky knit beret. I have hard time with headwear, but I can bear this one. Barely. I still hate how it messes my soft and slippery hair — should have photographed the dress before I went out…

// Longing for the long dress

Posted on | December 10, 2009 | 3 Comments

Can you explain why I feel suddenly a need for a long, casual dress? They haven’t been around in ages… …with ongoing search for couple of months I have come by these:

Art Lab Space Odyssey dress (thanks for Steff for pointing this out). I adore it — but I’m afraid that the bust construction is totally bad thing for my body type. I’m relatively free of body issues in that sense that I would be constantly bothered about them — but I would certainly like to shrink my chest to proportions that allow this kind of cut. Actually I would prefer my lady lumps almost nonexistent, thnx.

acnedress

This Acne pre-summer dress is actually truly amazing in person, the cut is quite clever making the stripes do some interesting zigs and zags in some strategic places and it is dyed beautifully, the dark shade is not even. But it is so stripy! I’m still considering it, but I definitely need block of solid black or white to calm it down a bit. Ah… …it was sold out from the online store already, so it might be too late. I stole the pic from Claudia (BTW check her blog out if you haven’t already!).

TAW

This simple T-shirt dress from T by Alexander Wang is probably my favorite. Hard to find online, though — and the bastards (sorry, I love ur stuff but not ur shipping policy) from Alexander Wang webshop don’t ship to Europe. What makes it even more bitter is that the dress is now absolute bargain with it’s $66 sale price. I may or may not have some plotz in my head on getting my sweaty paws on this baby…
