BACK TO BLACK

I first wore this L'Agence maxi number to Harper's Bazaar Icons event in New York this year and became so obsessed with it, I've been wearing it non-stop ever since! So good with strappy sandals and a little black clutch, yet equally relevant with gladiator flats and a cross-body bag for a slightly more relaxed day-time look. Aside from versatility, what I love about it the most, is the semi-sheer, sexy fabric and of course the cut! You know me, I have a soft spot for dresses that move and this one definitely does, in the most graceful of ways! With every step you take, it comes to life floating and dancing around you like a cloud... Naturally, whenever I put it on twirling around is pretty much a must!

THE FINE PRINT

Though normally, my motto for weekend dressing is comfy and simple, I must admit, every once in while I really enjoy trading in my weekend uniform for something a bit more glamorous, getting my hair and make up done and spending an evening somewhere fabulous... Luckily, last Saturday was exactly such an occasion. One of my good friends got married and since the ceremony was really formal, I got to dress up and wear what is probably my favorite dress of all time.

I found it on a recent trip to Ted Baker, and snatched it up as  quickly as humanly possible. The funny thing is that I don't wear print all that much. You know me, I am very comfortable in my solid brights or black and white. Yet, every once in a while, when I come across a printed gown as gorgeous as the one I am wearing in today's post, I kick myself for not wearing print more often. 

But of course not all prints are created equal. What I love about this one is how delicate, elegant and feminine it is. Oh, and that stark contrast between vibrant red and soft pink is just out-of-this-world beautiful. Honestly, when I came a cross a dress like this, I find myself wishing I could dress up  everyday... Ah, wouldn't that be fun! Are you guys with me on this one? :)
