no.2 Kimono wrap maxi dress

OK, so I didn’t go anywhere that would warrant me in my finery (the bank. I went to the bank).  So instead of getting to wear my pick of the sale today, I’m showing you rememories of a video I made once upon a time, and a girl wearing it far far better than I could.

No.4  Open Front Jumpsuit Maxi Dress

Want a jumpsuit and a dress, how about a dress that thinks it’s a jumpsuit. Deal?  I remember being sat at my desk sketching out a jumpsuit and then erasing lines until this appeared.  Suitable for equator-weather-friendly layering. The skirt is lined an’ all.

No. 5 Jersey Maxi Dress

So please excuse technology for not allowing me to post this yesterday, but here it is.  The LAST 5 DAYS of the MAYSAA SALE and me picking between my ‘children’ for favourites.  I’ve had to console myself by thinking not which is my favourite? but what do I want to wear today?

The first is one I wore yesterday, I wore it yesterday because I’d been inspired by a wonderful girl I’d met at the Reflections event.  She looked stunning in it, and my head was telling me ’see this is why you design’.  Because the first thing I noticed was that she was (and she is) beautiful, the second was ‘holy crap that’s my dress’. (see how pretty)

p.s. I think I’m still on a 90’s kick judging by the colour editing.

Simplify, simplify, simplify.  Since seeing this collection I’ve become increasingly obsessed with wearing monotones and layering, unfortunately the weather here is conducive to only one of those.  The looks, the layers, the oversized tees- it’s the 90’s grunge scene only a little older and cleaner than it’s teenage self.  I love this, really.  The formula for layering, with sheer chiffon and heavy knits is one to take note of.  It’s the kind of styling I can’t wait to try out, he’s just so goooood.

On a budget note, this is a diffusion line is actually well priced and well thought out, that is, if you’re not broke… oh well, there’s still some time before Fall, here’s hoping.

The delicate lace, the structure of the jacket, the dark black cherry boots, it’s a lesson in juxtaposition.

Maysaa Jersey Maxi Dress

A silhouette is an idea of an outfit, a chalk outline, with no detail to hide behind, the simplest of things.  And that is that.

Here is my dress.

Thank you to ZH MODE for posting this, and thank you to Yuna for looking so insanely good in the Maysaa Satin Wrap Band Snood. Love x

The Video

So you’ve waited long enough for this, or I should rather say, It’s late enough, and I’m sleep deprived enough to think posting this is a good idea.  I guess you know I have an obsession with reworking my clothes and in particular my own designs.  I must admit, the subconscious designer in me has a talent for making a design lovely to play around with, I should write her a note of thanks. (oh and again you can watch it without the sound, if music ain’t your thing)

The wondrous star that is the dress is the Maysaa Kimono Wrap Maxi Dress, the top is Uniqlo (but of course), and the trousers (which I now live in) are soon to be available at Maysaa.

I really should befriend a film maker to make these with me… in the hope that I’d look less insane.

Isn’t this photo just breathtaking?  Isn’t the skirt just stunning?  Isn’t Laura’s blog PONYHUNTER wonderful? (*see bottom for answers)

The Juliette Hogan skirt is awesome, like so good I would consider having it shipped all the way from New Zealand.  Maybe even so crazy about it I’d consider popping over to NZ during my Malaysia trip to buy it.  If anyone in Auckland should want to pop into her boutique and find out how much it is I’d very much like to know.  It was part of her beautiful Spring 2010 collection.

*YES!!
