Great. That's a beautiful timeless classic dress, it's the best one because lovely as the others are both will date more than this one because of pattern and colour and this one looks more expensive because of it's simple classic occassion dress styling should be useful for many occasions. What are you planning to wear with it on your feet?

Agree with Giantkate - I used to get asked all the time where I had got things from in LA because most of it was British.

Also, you might be surprised at the people in LA, the first time I went it was not what I expected. There were far more regular looking people than the skinny blonde tanned people that the media makes out are everywhere.

Depends where you go though, I am a West Hollywood girl which tends to be a bit more alternative and rocky, and Venice Beach which is hippy and relaxed.

Admittedly, the first time I went to Malibu Beach I did think it was full of typical 'LA' folk. Its the teeth. Its weird.

samsonara - I am borrowing some suede slingbacks, they match perfectly

I also got this for my 2 year old monsoon

DSM - I am still investigating teeth whitening

Oh that little dress is very cute.

Yeah, the teeth thing is a bit odd. Perfect too-white smiles everywhere. Odd.

Like I said, I hang out in dive bars and hippy beaches. Nobody has their teeth fixed round those parts

Slingbacks sound great and love the dress you got for your dd, you will both look so lovely! Becareful with teeth whitening, I saw it on a 1O years younger type program and there can be too much whitening, so that all you notice is teeth

DSM do you live over there?

good dress EldonAve... I would be tempted to punk it up with some fishnets and grey shoe boots - not very weddingy at all though [wonders why shes not invited to weddings very often]...

DSM · 05/04/2009 16:31

No, I go over there every so often for work, stay usually a week or two at a time. I would love to live there though.

Fishnets and grey shoe boots sounds amazing.

Eldon ave just wanted to say that those dresses you got are lovely, you and your dd will look gorgeous

HObbs dress is lovely Eldon but I do think it needs some glam accessories, perhaps some large/sparkly earrings/bracelet?
