>>  I have loved this pinafore dress ever since I saw it in Teen Vogue -- the May issue, I think it was -- and have been on the lookout for it to show up.  It's very Chloe-inspired, and perfect for summer in all of its babydoll goodness, but when fall starts to come, it would be amazing over a black turtleneck with some patent mary jane heels.   

>>  This just proves that no matter how beautiful the dress, it may just not flatter your figure.  I've had it happen to me -- found a gorgeous dress, crossed my fingers, put it on and it just doesn't look right.  Same thing happened with Kirsten Dunst and this beautiful Rochas dress (one of my favorites from the collection) at the Marie Antoinette premiere -- the bodice just doesn't flatter her quite right.  Dare I say it might have something to do with her posture?

>>  I don't think there's a more fantastic color of blue that M Hardy could have picked for his shoe.  Especially with the patent sheen.  They would look stunning against a pair of black tights, against bare skin... I don't think you can mess it up, really.
