fashion is...

i have an f3 coupon i need to utilize at the end of the month and so i've been eyeing this dress at Dorothy Perkins last weekend... seems that this type of dress is the in thing this season (or so it seems, i've been seeing them draped on mannequins in store windows), so i've been wondering whether i should own one or not. i like the cutting of the dress of course, but i'm not too sure of the print. sometimes when i look at it it looks really nice and sweet, but when i try and squint my eyes a little the pattern will start to resemble one of those old-fashioned curtains. lol.

decided to browse through the f3 shops online... came across a couple of nice ones... and then some =P.

collection from Dorothy Perkins

the dress i'm initially interested in is the leftmost one, the pink dress with floral print and pink waistbelt. the mannequin was modelling it in the store so that kinda caught my eye. i saw the other two dresses online: the cream-colored dress in the middle, and the pink/purple rose dress with purple waistbelt at the righmost of the picture. i don't know if the other two are available at the stores, does anyone know?

since i was already browsing at Dorothy Perkins, i might as well browse through Topshop and Miss Slefridge, right? =P.

collection from Miss Selfridge

the dress on the left is the White Lurex Bandeau Dress, the dress on the right is the White Dropwaist Dress. the left one is also a kind of cover up, so now i'm half wishing i had bought that instead of my colorful one (which Significant Other tends to compare with the colorful umbrellas by the beach... chis). the one on the right is actually just too cute for words, i've always been a fan of white, just that i rarely buy things in white because i'm afraid i might soil them.

but i prefer to see them in front of my eyes before making a purchase. sometimes items look really lovely in online photos, but when you see it for youself some of the magic that has captivated you earlier seem to diminish. haha. it happened to a couple of tops i tried on when i was looking for a new top at Topshop. in the end i bought something completely not in my list (and it was also relatively cheaper than my initial selection! lol).

uber coolness from Dorothy Perkins

i am soOoOo not into heels anymore. either that or i gotta start practicing wearing them ever since i abandoned them when i delivered my baby. but one of the shoes from DP caught my eye. check out that super cool pair of heels! if i was a huge fan of heels i'd get them in a jiff. haha. btw, does DP sell shoes? i don't think i've ever noticed if they did or not. i was never a DP fan, even though Significant Other is =P.

apart from these lovelies, i've been eyeing a couple of other stuffs as well. note the word 'eyeing', because they cost a bomb!

didy dyed purple waves waves wrap... the one that got away... sob

was browsing throught the FSOT section... came across the above and immediately fell in love with them. unfortunately they're still selling at a crazy price, so i can only hope =P. i just realized that didy waves patterns are absolutely lovely! and check out the third photo, the kid looks absolutely happy sitting in there. i don't own an OMT except for Aidafiqs (which is currently on loan to my roommate). do you reckon an SSC would be better?

on another note, Significant Other is going to Libya this Saturday. lol. and i so need to get myself a webcam.
