Heartbreak Hotel








Once again donning my Motel best. I feel like this dress, due to the intricate detail and burst of color, is actually becoming quite the versatile piece to my Summer '09 style. The perfectly placed Nautical stripes and delicate, large bows also make me smile. The music playing was influenced by the movie I watched last night, Beverly Hills Chihuahua. Drew Barrymore gives the "just right" cute voice her Chihuahua silver screen character, Chloe, needs. A kid film? Yes. Silly? Yes, yet adorable, too.


Motel body con dress. Gap denim jacket. Bamboo lace-up wedges.

FABULOUS look! Such wonderful surreal shots. It's partly the angle, and the colour of the sky, but it's so supersaturated and surreal.. I could see this in Vogue. Something about the light: It's making me miss Florida so much.

So simple, those three elements: great dress, shoes, jacket. Actually, the fourth: great model!

Cress said...

Oh sunny Miami, i seriously cannot wait until December 30th when i'll be taking a plane to your beautiful city.
I'm absolutely loving this outfit. From the stripped colorful body-con dress with baring back cute little bow details, to the awesome red shoes and the perfect finishing touch: the denim jacket. So perfect for summer.

On a side note, i've been loving your recent entries, even though i haven't been able to comment in all of them.

KateMossFan said...

Oh ya the nautical dress. I like that it is quite a statement by itself and doesn't need much accessorizing.
I like the contrast between the bolder and finer stripes and the bows are so cute!
OMG sorry, I can't stand DJ Bobo. He's so annoying. But the song is funny - CHIHUAHUA!! :D
Since when does your blog have pop-up-ads?
Haha, in the video it's so funny how the blonde girl talks about the "bossy chihuahua"! :D
I love the gardener dog, and it's so funny how the dogs speak!!
What the hell, who cares if it is a kid film? I love to watch kid films too!
And without silliness life wouldn't be half as enjoyable as it is now.
Wow, I just realised: That dress is really very mini. And those chunky wedges are awesome, you're looking hot!

I am so in! We fly into Miami at least once a winter, and head up to the Palm Beach area, but have been longing to go to Miami, and would love to meet you. A day shoot preferably on or near the beach.. wish I could go tomorrow!

I'm longing to see the new cool Miami.. it's such a magic city, and I've got great childhood memories there.

hope you're having a wonderful day

MARISA said...

the back of this dress should be an ad on a magazine

i love everything about it but the shoes.......my fav

♥ fashion chalet said...

THANKS FOR THE LOVE !!!! :)




For all who asked about, stated their love for the shoes, they were $15 on sale last Summer on Zappos.com the brand is "Bamboo" and worth every single penny (and moreeee!) They are so soft and so plush! No pain with these whatsoever.




I have fast become a Motel fan, due to their fit, styles, cuts, and colors. They are made of amazingly thin, stretchy, and totally flattering fabrics!!! Their prices are just as HOT too. ;)



Yes, the song is completely "cheeseball." But.. what can I say, I couldn't stop singing along.... ;)



Hoping you're all having yourselves a fabulous, and extra sunshine-y week! =)
