FOR LOVE AND...WEDDINGS?

Despite looking pretty bedraggled most days (every time I go to the hairdresser, he asks whilst scalping me, 'Have you started brushing your hair yet?') I am a big lover of dressy dresses. Dressy dresses that I can dress the fuck down. Case in point is the white knitted deep-v (front and back) spaghetti strap maxi that I purchased from a blogger purely to ogle on a hanger. 'cos there ain't no place for that in the dive bars I frequent. 

It took all I had to wear my recently purchased multi-coloured Nasty Gal maxi to a wedding as I felt over-dressed (as over-dressed as you can feel in a backless, deep-v). But I did it and the results can be seen below. It was 100% silk yet on sale and I wore flats and everyday hair and I ended up climbing trees and breaking out guard dogs and sneaking mini quiches up to my room, so...

My point is that I love a dress that I'll only wear once (if at all). And this For Love and Lemons creation ticks all the right boxes. Such a dream. Come to mama.

FOR LOVE AND LEMONS

So it's not often that someone starts following you on Twitter who actually has something interesting to say, but there are exceptions to every rule. Take For Love and Lemons for example - when they started following, I was hooked.

For Love and Lemons are two pretty ladies from L.A. called Gillian Mahin and Laura Hall who design my favourite type of clothing - basic with an edge.

One particular gem is this Pedro Capelet Dress, available for pre-order from here. Slip your slinky St Tropez-ed body into it, tug on some tough little ankle boots and girlfriend is good.to.go.
