resorted

Two resort collections that are making me weak at the knees. Those ethereal fish bone slits from Dion Lee are utter genius, and I can safely say that Peter Pilotto has shoved Mary Katrantzou off of the digital printing throne.

My new Sara Phillips dress. What can I say? Possibly the most gorgeous floral print I've ever laid eyes on. Did I mention it is pure silk and cost me a measly $150?! Unfortunately I think it's sold out now, but there are still some incredible bargains to be had at their online store HERE.

marguerite's menagerie

I'm completely obsessed with Hermione de Paula's exotic prints at the moment, they're the ultimate florals on acid. These images are my collages of some shots from the latest collection for AW12 titled Marguerite's Menagerie, photographed by Kristin Vicari and featuring some gorgeous shoes by Nicholas Kirkwood. Some of the most inspiring and original prints I've seen in a long time!

the zoe dress

I'm afraid to say, if you put my name on something, there is a very high possibility that I will purchase it!

Just as I have done here with the amazing Zoe print dresses by Motel. I got the one in the first picture with the horses running around all cute and carefree, pretty hard not to resist this print, with the added bonus it's named after me (well I like to think it is), it has an amazing high cut neck and racer front/back AND it was on sale! Haha, I'm such a sucker.

I'm a little worried it will be too big as Asos only had a size 12 left, but I'm sure I can sew the sides in a bit if worst comes to worst.

If I like this dress, which I imagine I will, I'll most likely end up with several more in my wardrobe as there are some gorgeous prints! I love the poppies and the cityscape, and I already own the skirt in the mountain river print (as seen in a post I did about it HERE!). So the future's looking pretty bleak for my bank account...
