Sandro Lace Dress

I had been searching for my lace dress in the past couple of weeks. I tried on the Marc by Marc Jacobs lace dress I loved. It looked hideous on me! I think the lowered waist line had done it. The proportion of the dress makes me look shorter. I also think the dress could be nicer if it'd be short sleeved. Overall bold laced pattern could be too full on. Short or cap sleeves might tone it down a bit.

I like this Sandro version on me. Only the top panel is laced so it is quite versatile and more timeless. It is slightly fitted and high-waisted and the length sits just above my knees. So it makes me slimmer and taller which works for my body shape!

I apologise for the quality of the photos. It always seems suspicious to the sales people when they see someone taking photos of their merchandise. I had to be sneaky when taking the photos to avoid evil stares!

So I bought the dress! And I have put the dress with my Miu Miu heels and Burberry shealing boots to create two different looks.

Lace, Lace and Lace

Like leopard print coats, there are a plethora of lace dresses offered by every brand for AW10! And like leopard print coats, it is very important to get the right lace! It is all about the intricacy and pattern of the lace. This AW10 the lace pattern is bold and graphic which makes it more modern than the association of lingerie.

I absolutely love this Marc by Marc Jacobs black lace dress. The engineered pattern and the thick outline of the lace makes the dress edgy as well as feminine. However it costs £695. With my £150 budget a month it would take me 4 months to save up for it. I think by the time I have the money to buy it, it would be gone. Sob!

Don't mind this Reiss version. It is sexy and feminine. I can accessorise it and dress it up or dress it down. It comes in the cream version as well. The cream version gives it a vintage edge which is quite nice. But the shape does not suit me well. I have size 6 upper body but size 8 buttom. The waisted A-line accentuates my bigger lower half. Don't really want that!

This Sandro dress has laced bodice in contrast to woollen bottom. I like the juxtaposition of different textures. And it is a very versatile dress. I can wear it to work, to an evening dinner, or just going out shopping. It is reasonably priced at £170, whih is within my budget! Me likey!

Lanvin for H&M

Mark it in your diary ladies! Lanvin for H&M will be hitting stores on 23 November!!!! I am stoked!

I saw the feature in the Grazia magazine on the tube to work this morning. Had to restrain myself for screaming with excitement as the stone faced London commuters would not have appreciated the wake up screaming very much. Especially not during tube strike and everyone was squashed on the limited tube service like sardines! I kept the joy to myself.

The collection offers 48 pieces of Lanvin's signature dresses, t-shirts, jewellery and more. Definitely have my eyes on the black puff-shoulder dress (£99.99). Gorgeous!!!! The one shoulder floral dress is amazing too. Or the black ribbon dress (£79.99). And will have to get one of the embellished t-shirts as well. I can anticipate an ugly battle as I fight my way through the crowd to reach those highly desirable pieces. Arggghhh can't wait!

The full collection can be seen online at hm.com on November 04.
