Agent provocateur.

Oh the joys of being of 6ft tall with legs not far behind... Well you can pull off a sheer dress sans pants, for one. And, no, we're not talking another Lady Gaga or Taylor Momsen pantsless episode, which just so happen to be regular occurrences nowadays anyway. Photographed here in beautiful Paris (oui oui), Polish model Anja Rubik actually manages to look somewhat demure in this see through chiffon lace number. Maybe it's the fact she's wearing a full brief underneath? I think those never-ending pins might also have something to do with it... but under-things aside, let's turn our attention to THAT dress! The cut! That detail! Those cute 3/4 sleeves! And perfect mid-length! Ohh... It's love.

As you might have guessed I now really want need one for my own. I needed to investigate.

And then. 

I found it.  

Or a suitable copy at least.

What's more, it's on SALE, along with the entire Shakuhachi Pre Fall 2011 range. Everything online is up to 60% off - I'm literally salivating over the keyboard as I write this - And my dress, available in three different colours, also comes with a mini slip for those of you who prefer to keep their bits under wraps. I highly suggest you check out the sale here, it's only while stocks last!

NOTE: Neither of The Striped Tee duo comes even remotely close to 6ft, much to our disappointment.

She does as she says.

Spotted: Gywnnie rocking the very outfit she showcased in one of her recent weekly newsletters from GOOP. She copped a good bit of flak for this edition, chastised for being ridiculously out of touch after recommending a wardrobe of summer basics that came in at around $18,000 in total. Meh . . . I could not have cared less. I'm all for a little aspiration, without it life's as bland as beige. I was happy as larry to see her looking envy-inducingly good in this Étoile Isabel Marant mini dress and a pair of Givenchy Crossover Leather Sandals en route to a Beyoncé concert in London. And for all you literal ladies out there - you do not have to buy this exact look. Simply find something of the like and style it in a similar way. Even better, give it your own twist. You'll look (almost) just as good.

You'll be wanting these pants.

Isabel Marant has done it again, casually churning out another cult piece that will be seen on just about everyone by the time the northern hemisphere summer is out. Ms Moss has done her bit to ensure this happens - slipping on a pair while the eyes of the world were on her in the lead up to her wedding. There will be copies popping up soon, but for those who like your style authentic, you can buy the originals here.

it's bananas!

 

Apologies for the hiatus, it's not been for lack of inspiration, more so lack of time! 

How about this Resort 2012 Collection from Rachel Zoe? Personally, I die! This is her second offering since launching the Rachel Zoe line in January, and whilst this collection isn't breaking any new ground for Zoe with its Seventies-inspired tailored pieces, it's certain to be a crowd-pleaser. I for one could happily buy every single piece. Obviously Resort 2012 is not yet available for purchase, but you can shop her first foray here.
