Dresses

A dress is only a small part of fashion, but yet they're the one thing every High Fashion designer sells.

Unlike neon legwarmers [they're more a winter thing], hotpants [snow + hotpants? No thanks.] and black skinny jeans [black + sun = sticky legs], there's a dress for every season. Whether it's a maxi, a mini, an off-the-shoulder or a strapless, you'll find a dress that works every season.

Dresses are a big deal for the Red Carpet too. Anne Hathaway managed to work about five hundred trends the other day wearing a maxi Oscar de la Renta dress with flower print [very 2011] and ruffles at the bottom. One dress, and she's my brand new style icon. The fact that she wore all those amazing Chanel outfits in 'The Devil Wears Prada' may have helped too.

Another style icon of mine is Alexa Chung. You've got to love her. She was a TV presenter, and now she's a SUPERMODEL. Not only did she seem like the most down-to-Earth person ever when I read her interview with Vogue in the December issue, she was also on the FRONT COVER in the March 2010 issue of Vogue wearing RALPH LAUREN. She's also the face of Lacoste AND inspired Mulberry so much they created the 'Alexa'. Named after her.

That's it for today, I'm feeling pretty proud that I managed to make my first blog post so long.

DESIRABLE PURCHASES OF THE DAY: Vogue, 'The Secret Lives of Dresses', Black Blazer, Mulberry Satchel (which unfortunately is £795...), oh, and this dress (right), because it's so goddamn beautiful.
