The Little Black body con Motel Dress






I don't mind how cheesy the song sounds, I still can't help but to find it irresistible. It's from Music and Lyrics starring Hugh Grant and Drew Barrymore. I adore the song in a cheesy-feel-good kinda way. ;)

The dress is thanks to my friends over at Motel again. This one has a slight body con fit and a lace detailed back. The perfect piece for layering many times in many different ways. Wore it in this subdued manner for a luncheon I went to last Sunday afternoon. I felt the simple gray-blue touches, with the scarf and clutch, did it justice in the color department but still kept things classic.

Lately on my mind I've had: Megan Fox, Baked Lays potato chips, leather jackets and Arrowhead bottled water. (Does Miami carry Arrowhead bottled water?? And where??) I guess you could say those are my current obsessions.....


Motel body con dress. Vintage scarf. Pierre Dumas Grecian heels. < (for sale) Forever 21 clutch.

Ela said...

First, sorry if this comment comes up twice, my computer's been wonky all day and I hit submit and everything disappeared...so I'm typing again, LOL.

I love the lace detailing and your clutch! You always have the best music playing :) And thanks for reminding me, I still need to rent this movie. I have yet to see a Hugh movie I didn't like. Plus I adore Drew.

xx

p.s. I was watching That 70's Show last night and 'Rose' was guesting as Kitty's mom, I instantly thought of you, LOL. I think it's fab that you said your grandma was/is Blanche - she's the most fun!

the back of that dress is SICK

Victoria said...

You can never go wrong with a LBD! It fits your body perfectly, and it's not too tight which is a plus. What a nice surprise when I saw the lace detailing in the back of the dress--reminds me of my icon and the logo from my blog (taken from YSL)! :)

xoxo,
Victoria

MITICA said...

cool dress, the lace back is amazing!!

Dream Sequins said...

I love the little lace cutout in the back. The accessories are a nice touch, because I think the dress looks more "Night on the Town" on its own sans scarf and ladylike clutch.

Anika said...

bellisima, I adore this outfit...nay I covet it. Also, how fierce are those F21 shoes? I love em. I was naughty today and bought me some tie dye-ey flares and a fringed maxi dress. Yum.
p.s. will figure out the camera this weekend and skype too.

Anything exciting planned for the weekend?

Have a great one, you stylish beast you ;)

TO MY READERS-





I mainly chose the song for my love of it (and of Hugh in that movie in particular) never was much of a Hugh Grant fan ....until Music and Lyrics! ;)




My favorite part of the dress, other than the fit, is the LACE detail, just like you guys!! ;)




Lately I've been going the classic-route; clothing-wise. Any suggestions for something OUT THERE for the blog near-future?? ;)




xo!!
