GORGEOUS

Could Emma Watson be anymore classy? She looks like a doll! Seen here in vintage Ossie Clark, but I have to say the choice transparent umbrella tops off the look!

Thanks to my trusty WhoWhatWear daily newsletters, I have come upon a photo of the lovely Miss Miller sporting none other than MY favorite All Saints floral dress that I picked up while I was in London this past March. Sadly I don't have any photos of myself donning this masterpiece, but I can confidently say that this dress is nearly guaranteed to be photographed for street style blogs/magazines/thelike.

My first All Saints/street style photo encounter was at SXSW this past March as I was en-route from one performance to Godknowswhere- I think I ended up taking one of those Ped-Cabs with my mom to some club with sharks on the floor. Besides the point. That first picture was with WGSN who still has yet to give me the wearabouts of said photo.

The next time I was snapped was in SoHo on my lunch break as I was finishing up my Pinkberry in the park and headed back to work. Some doll from Japan's Ginza magazine stopped me and inquired. Sadly her contact info is floating somewhere around my mess of an apartment and I will have to re-email her later to find it.

Sienna rocks it with an angled cropped jacket- a good way to find your waist, but not the best for this dress. The heavy gathered hemline, uniform floral print, and flaring of volume at the waist call for an even more extreme way to highlight the smallest part of the torso.

I suggest rocking this frock with a sturdy belt. I use a vintage black leather one with what I like to call a bronze "pilgrim" buckle.

Work it out!

On a side note- while I was in London, the dolls at All Saints told me the store is soon coming to NYC and to expect it this year. Regardless, they ship internationally for free on any purchase over £250.

You Know What I Never got to Say?

Stella McCartney was the BEST DRESSED @ the Met Ball

Lou Doillon had the best dreSS

(and the best hair- but I'm partial to bangs and natural waves that resemble mine)

Lou in Olivier Theyskens for Nina Ricci

Mary Kate Olsen looked bomb!

(per usual)

MK in Christian Lacroix Haute Couture

Shout Outz are in order for Anna Wintour

She often gets overlooked because she's EIC, but she is looking especially AMAZEE here.

Anna in Chanel Haute Couture

Noteworthy are the Vena Cava Girls

Because I love me my neon and all things cropped. Plus, 2 is always better than 1!

Sophie and Lisa in their own designs

Props to...

-Leighten Meester for her risk taking and rocking the spunk to match her quirky Louis get-up

-Giambattista Valli for putting Sasha Pivovarova in that gorgeous peacock coat and Allison Sarofim in that dress that reminds me of those stickers I had when I was little. LOVES IT!
