Last week, I wrote an open letter to Jason Wu. I was enchanted by his Resort 2011 collection (and still am) but he has been surpassed. Monique Lhuillier. There’s really nothing more to say. Enjoy for yourselves. Feast your eyes. I literally want every. single. look…including the shoes!
You really must look here and see the WHOLE collection.
Dear Jason Wu,
Can you become my personal designer? I would move to NYC or Hollywood or wherever you like. I would lose 30lbs and wear stilts for you! I know a little bit about styling? I could help you in some way? Maybe I could learn to sew and become your intern? If you would make me 1000 dresses just like the ones in your resort collection, I would do almost ANYTHING! I love the hourglass shape, the feminine collar, the fullish skirt… (excuse me while I drool).

New color crush = Blush. It’s such a girly, pretty, demure color and in my opinion it works on ANY skin tone. I don’t own a dress in this hue but I really want to. Choices below.
1 Linen-silk bustier dress JCrew 2 Heritage silk blend strapless dress Banana Republic 3 Harmonious Chiffon Dress Forever21 4 Linen Blended Tube Dress Forever21 5 Power Mesh Slip Dress Net-A-Porter 6 Stargazer Dress Free People 7 Samba crepe de Chine dress Tibi 8 Rayonnante Devore Mini Dress Sandro 9 Casey Jones Dress ASOS
Do you need a blushing hair accessory? The swoon-worthy Ban.Do has a new collection.
Below, “blush” selections…click photos for links.
Must share. Must share! These are the most gorgeous, stunning, lovely (expensive, slightly, but these dresses are works of art…honestly) drool-worthy dresses. I LOVE a good dress and wear them more often than not, especially in the summer. Please take some time to peruse the girly, frothy, voluptuousness of Posh Girl Vintage. I especially die over their wedding/party dress section!

I know my closet is busting at the seams. I know there are many things I should do with my money instead of buying clothes. I know I have so many dresses that there are several I have never worn. I know.
But I don’t care! I want this dress!!
While we’re on the subject…Payless? Umm not just for grannies anymore.
