I was reading some blogs and I came across this new line by H&M called '
Tribute to Marimekko'. It sounds Japanese, but it's actually Finnish and then a light blub, (dim as it may be) went off in my head. About a year ago, I was so exhausted from being in Topshop for the first time, I HAD to sit down and drink an espresso. Topshop has a coffee shop on one of the 20 floors. So basically, I didn't want to get up and was staring at the same section of racks for 30 min. And I was staring at these crazy lurid print dresses that made my eyes trip out, (they look just like the dresses above), but then crazy turned into somewhat artsy, and somewhat artsy turned into somewhat innovative. I got up and debated for an extra 15 min. if I should buy one or not. I liked it, and liked the idea that it would probably come to US in a year. But then sense came back into me and decided against it. Damn it. .

A good general knows, don't sweat in front of your soldiers. 'Gossip Girl' is like my 'Heroes', I watch the first season thinking, "OMFG.", and then the second season, "WTF, this is so stupid." Jenny has got to be the gossip girl, because, come on, she's more diabolical than Blair! And I think the only one that dresses well is Serena and the 'rents, the rest look like Alice in Wonderland threw up on all of them, including Chuck.
I came across this Lanvin Spring '08 show awhile ago and finally decided to put this post up. The puffy sleeves and the structure of the Lanvin dress remind me a lot of the captpink.com dress.
The first dress is an Elie Tahari cotton-blend dress retailed at $1,498 from Elle's April 08 issue, and the second dress is Etro from C magazine. The third dress is from www.captpink.com by Free People. I think it's like if the first dress and the second dress made a baby.
