Juliette et Justine Summer JSK

Updated May 15, 2008

1st to recommend

Description

Though I'm mainly a classic girl, I find I tend towards sweet in the spring and summer. This JSK lets me be classic with a hint of sweet. It's a very classic style, but looks perfect for summer and in that baby pink it would be slightly sweet, just the way I like it.

L'armoire d'une fleur dress

Updated May 15, 2008

1st to recommend

Description

OPs and I have an interesting relationship. Abstractly I like them, but in actuality I own a closet full of skirts and jsks and one little OP. However, when I came across this OP I think I might have found one that I want to take home. Call me crazy, but it's the turquoise one that I like...after all, unlike a skirt or jsk, it's not about mixing and matching, it's about making a statement.

Shiny Rose Elegant Dress

Updated May 15, 2008

1st to recommend

Description

It's a little early to be looking at winter clothes, I know. But I saw this Victorian Maiden OP and was in love! It would be a perfect special event dress. I'm loving the gray, but then again I always love gray. Also, if you are going to event where your lolita wear wouldn't be welcome I think this dress (and a lot of Victorian Maiden's stuff actually) can be made to walk that line gently.

Striped Ribbon Dress

Updated May 15, 2008

1st to recommend

Description

Even when I'm not wearing straight out lolita, I still like to have elements of lolita style in my daily style. This black and white striped dress can be poufed and accessorized out to be lolita wear (it is Victorian Maiden after all), but I could see wearing it places where a petticoat isn't always going to fit (bot physically and metaphorically).

Ribbon Dress with Capelet

Updated May 15, 2008

1st to recommend

Description

Capes are oh so hot in fashion right now, and I've never been one not to combine the modern fashion trend with my lolita wear. Plus, I've always been a fan of capelets. I'm a big fan of the dress under the capelet too. The pintucks and buttons just seem so elegant and understated.

One Clothing Floral Halter Dress

Updated Mar 16, 2008

1st to recommend

Description

Oh bright, sunshiny day. This dress looks like it belongs in the heat of summer on a picnic at the lake or up at the cabin. Pockets are placed for those little essentials you need when sunbathing. Looks like it would be equally nice as a coverup or as a casual dress for those hot summer days.

Flirty Yellow & Black Polka Dot Dress

Updated Mar 16, 2008

1st to recommend

Description

I might be wearing yellow and black, but I certainly don't look like a bumblebee! In fact, I like this yellow and black combination....it's a charming little spring/early summer dress. A buttery polka dot, with black tulle and yellow ribbons screams 'aren't I cute'! And the dress has a right to be pleased with itself, it is!

Nicole Miller Metallic Silk Dress

Updated Mar 15, 2008

1st to recommend

Description

Yellow is really one of those colors that looks good on everyone. Or at least on most. This dress is a nice solid summer dress that gets a whole bunch more interesting since it's made of bright yellow and gold! I'm thinking paired with a cardigan this would be a good Church dress too, since it hits at the knee.

Flapper Mini Dress

Updated Mar 15, 2008

1st to recommend

Description

I have this thing for vintage clothes...or a least vintage style clothes. I love playing with older styles. I think vintage is slightly the logical extension of playing dress up when you were little. And with this flapper mini dress you have all the glory of the roaring 20s along with a dress that is stylish today.

T-Bags Twisted strap maxi dress

Updated Mar 14, 2008

1st to recommend

Description

This is a pretty bold dress, if worn in the day or just a pretty dress if worn at night. As for me, I'd wear it at night because I like a little softening of the night to tone down the patterns...but for some of my friends, those with the right hair and the skin tone I'd recommed day wear as it a fantastic dress.

Diane von Furstenberg Pauline maxi dress

Updated Mar 14, 2008

1st to recommend

Description

I think yellow is really our wish for the sun to come back. And this Yellow floral maxi dress is a out and out plea. But it's a pretty plea. I think this would be great on those warm spring days as you wait until summer when everything is so bright and shiny.

Single Lulu maxi dress

Updated Mar 14, 2008

1st to recommend

Description

If I've every seen a dress that's ripe for slipping intlo mid morning when you are on the Maine coast and wandering around it, I don't what it is. This dress is beautiful, dark purple, floral and I think great for a beach town...or those wishing they were in a beach town. Might be something I have to grab before I head up to the coast!

DKNY Full length silk dress

Updated Mar 14, 2008

1st to recommend

Description

A few years back my stepmother got my me the Lily Pulitzer cookbook. The recipes were nice of course, but the best part was the pictures. Old pictures of Lily from back when she was younger. One of the most memorable pictures of the book was one of her in an off the shoulder maxi dress, she looked so alive, so happy and the dress looked so right. This dress reminds me of it. It's a maxi dress that in the basic black, white and gray...except for that splash of pink. And it's that splash that make all the difference in the world.

Rebecca Taylor Waterlily Print Maxi Dress

Updated Mar 14, 2008

1st to recommend

Description

There is something very rustic about cream and green. It brings to mind blossoming flowers and a beautiful country side. This dress captures all that and yet makes it so this dress can be worn even if you don't live 100 miles away from the nearest city. It's waterlily pattern is pretty, it's colors are pretty...it's just plain pretty.

Ola Embroidered Chiffon Maxi Dress

Updated Mar 14, 2008

1st to recommend

Description

Here's a charming pleated chiffon maxi dress. I like the layering of greys in it. From the crinkled grey chiffon to the embroidered grey detail, it's a dress that is very smartly put together. Though, since it's made of silk I'd probably keep it away from the pool.

Ella Moss - Angie Smocked Maxi Dress

Updated Mar 14, 2008

1st to recommend

Description

This dress caught my eye because it would be perfect for a casual day around the house, shopping at the farmers market or out on a country picnic. The ruffles help contribute to the cute without being cutesy feel of this smocked dress. Made partially of cotton, it looks soft too.

Oh my gosh! It's paisley! Paisley in maxi dress form. Paisley and argyle are two patterns I have a weakness (or some may say an obsession) with. This bright maxi dress with a vibrant yellow and green paisley has me drooling.

Grass Green Floral Maxi Dress

Updated Mar 14, 2008

1st to recommend

Description

While this dress is a little bit more late sixties than seventies, I still adore it. It's a maxi dress with a gorgeous green floral print. It has a pleat in the back from waist to floor and a tie in the front. Add to that the skimming neckline and it's a glorious piece.

Abstract Maxi Dress

Updated Mar 14, 2008

1st to recommend

Description

Most of the maxi dresses I've seen this season have either been strapless or cut very low with a deep v. This maxi dress has a mandarin collar and it has me intrigued. I like the vibrant red pattern and the seemingly more put together look I could see with this dress. Yes, it's a maxi dress...but it's also a far different look than many others out there now.

Description

My Latin class went to Italy when I was in middle school and my Latin teacher, whom I was in awe of, wore a dress similar to this every day we were there. As such, I have a predisposition for colorfully printed dresses that flutter as you walk. And this dress is a perfect example of it.

Prettiest color ever! It's pink, but more ocean-y! It's coral! Sorry, I just love the color. Add the detail on empire line and you have me wanting. This dress could be worn anywhere...or at least I would.

It's very hippie, but not in that patachouli stinky way. I'm really liking this blue dress, it looks comfortable, good for day wear and kind of casual too. The best of hippie fashion without layering in the crazy.

I'm not normally an orange fan, but there is something intrguing about this dress. I think with it's 70s styling I'm more ap to forgive i the orange. Either way, I like how airy this dress looks...it's long and uses who knows how much fabric, but it doesn't look like that.

So, I'm a bit of geek. My favorite show recently has been Firefly (yes, I know it's been a long time since it came out, I like rewatching it). One of my favorite lines in it is "ooh!, captain can I have money for slinky dress?", it's said very adorably. This is definietly a slinky dress. It's very fluid, very sexy and with the tiny cutout detail and beading...I think it hits all slinky qualities.

Laundry by Design Stripe Maxi Chiffon Dress

Description

I'm normally a pale person. But for a few weeks of summer I manage to attain a semi decent tan that lets me glow goldenly instead of like a corpse. What better way to show off a tan than highlight those shoulders, arms and chest. This maxi dress is a dressy way to work the maxi trend for evening or a dressy day party.
