today is a particularly special day because i’m wearing my brand new lauren moffatt dress! you may remember a few months back, i was fortunate enough to go on a lauren moffatt studio visit to check out her upcoming fall 2011 collection. while i was there, i snapped a few behind-the-scenes photos and basically attempted to contain myself at the sight of so many beautiful pieces. time and again, her collections come out in my top list of favorites, so when they offered to send me a dress from the spring collection, i was over the moon! and you can bet that the moment it arrived, i threw it on with a pair of vintage flats and wore it 2 days in a row, haha! it’s one of those dresses that just feels so right!

  1. This is pretty much the PERFECT warm weather outfit. Simple, fun and lovely! Those Tom Ford glasses are so good! And don’t even get me started on Lauren Moffat’s designs. Heart!

  2. That first image is absolutely perfect. But then, the dress itself is a picture of perfection and the accessories you’ve chosen are just right. What a great look.

  3. It’s sooooooo fabulous! Gosh! I love the little splashes of baby blue. So sweet! The neckline is just to die for. What a great piece. Looks positively darling on you too.

  4. What a pretty dress! I really like how the all the bows (on your dress and on your shoes) have a golden center, such a nice, subtle detail!

  5. You’re so lucky to have visited Lauren Moffatt’s studio! I am addicted to her clothing, and though I’ve only purchased one of her skirts, I’m sure it’s only a matter of time until I accumulate more. ;) This dress is really perfectly “you.” It’s kind of like a girlier cousin to that navy Dear Creatures dress Modcloth named after you a while back!

  6. The dress, the sunnies, the flats–all great. I know you have addressed this issue before, but my only concern is . . . watch that ledge girl! You scare me half to death in these photos! Love your style.

    1. haha, do not fear, i am many feet away from danger and there is a doorway that opens up to the middle of the roof, so i never even get that close to the edge. it is but an optical illusion! ;)

  7. Okay, that dress is absolute perfection, you are the luckiest girl in the world!! I hope I can hunt it down somehow, being in Australia it can be a little hard sometimes! xxx

  8. Hi there,

    I love how you wear the most gorgeous colours on your lips. How do wear them – are the ysl lipsticks so good that they last pretty much all day, or do you keep re-applying throughout the day, or do you have some kind of magic foundation …?

    Thanks!

    1. the ysl lipsticks are pretty good. the color will last all day, but i do reapply a couple of times to keep it as bold and vivid as when i first applied it. i’ve also heard that mac lipsticks are pretty amazing, but have yet to try them!

  9. I adore those sunglasses and the clutch! I want a pair with that same shape, but I’m worried I wont be able to pull it off! I guess you never know till you try! Have a wonderful day! :)

  10. This dress is killing me! In the best way, of course. The collar reminds me of sailor moon, and don’t even get me started on your sunglasses… So good!

  11. those glasses are so darn cute! i might just have to save up enough money and buy myself a pair :)
    also the dress is adorable i love the collar on it, looks perfect on you!

  12. I am so loving those sunglasses! I don’t know if they’d work for me, I have too big a face. they look perfect on you and ohhh that dress is so perfect for you. I love the “pocket” detailing at the hip!

  13. does the dress fit true to size? i love its fit on you and am contemplating purchasing it for myself and would love to know. thanks!

    1. for me personally, i was actually able to size down one size. but i think either size would work since it is a simple shift shape with a belt to cinch the waist! it’s such a lovely dress!
