Victoria Beckham is a recognised dress designer, you could see from time to time many celebrities wearing her stylish and sexy dresses. By the way, now you can not find any of her dresses — it’s sold out! It was sold out immediately at Net-a-Porter :) This time I show you where you can buy some affordable alternative: it’s by Asos!

Unfortunately, there are only a few sizes, but I’m sure they re-launch this soon!

UPD: as I thought they relaunched this nice dress, but in a different colour, which I actually like more than red. It looks more elegant for me and not so provocative. There are plenty of sizes, you can purchase it at Asos:

Reader’s Request: Burberry Prorsum and Lily Donaldson

anna — Thu, 11 Jun 2009 20:09:32 +0000

Haylee Stewart: “I was really wanting to know if you could help me find an outfit (mainly the dress) a lot like lily’s in the attached pic??? I really love it and want it urgently! Kind regards”

Well, Haylee, Lily’s wearing the nicest mini dress by Burberry Prorsum Fall 2009! She shone at Burberry Day, May 29 in London. Lily looked very stylish in her black tights and short version of the dress:

Since the collection has just recently launched, you can find this dress and similar ones (some affordable versions) later this Fall season. At Fashion Show there were maxi version of this dress:

Well, I could find some similar mini alternatives, some of them are not so cheap as I would like to have, but anyway, let’s look at them! The first one which I like very much is the hand-crafted clothing that made being bohemian so chic is emboided in this semi-sheer mini dress by MaxStudio. The next is silky wiggle check mini dress by Whistles. I think you can pair these dresses with black or bright tights, try some gladiator heels and have a great look!

At Asos you can find cotton Vila Button Front Tulip Dress. Miss Selfridge also offers similar shirtsleeve dress in mink, which looks very shiny, which I would wear at some summer party. And finally, GoJane has a nice summer white button up tie-back mini dress.

At RevolveClothing you can also find some nice versions to keep Lily’s sassy style. Jen’s Pirate Booty creates a flirty, bohemian-inspired collection made from 100% sheer cotton gauze. While DA-NANG offers to relax in the most comfortable piece — button mini dress.

BTW, Lily’s wearing of course Burberry Prorsum Fall 2009 amazing shoes! I’m sure these ones will be season hit, so we’ll have some affordable version soon :)

So, you have a choice here which I hope you make :) And welcome for new requests, girls! Summer has arrived!

Myne olive summer skirt: Vanessa Hudgens’s choice

anna — Tue, 02 Jun 2009 19:53:14 +0000

I’m always not sure about which skirt to buy. I’m always not sure which shoes I should wear to some skirt and so on… But this time when I saw this nice multi-coloured summer skirt and how Vanessa Hudgens paired with simple black tank — I just wanted the same! :) This one is by Myne, you can purchase it at Shopbop ($191) and at Singer22 ($220):

I decided to search a bit and found some other great alternatives. At Asos you can buy the identical pink and green floral print skirt with stretch cotton:
