Now This Is How You Wear A Sundress! (New York – September 9th, 2009)
So you know how I’ve been railing against strappy sandals? Today’s look is a perfect example of why. Don’t get me wrong, a cute pair of sandals can look really good from time to time and I definitely realize they’re comfortable. However, check out these pictures. Here’s a woman with what is essentially a sundress, although a very pretty one. Love the color choices by the way, bold black, red and white is never a bad option.
With a pair of sandals this would become a very casual and cute look. Add in these boots however and the “va va voom” factor just went way up. And yes, “va va voom” is a perfectly legitimate term. Look it up, if it’s not in the dictionary then it damn well should be next to a picture of this woman!

New York, you’ve outdone yourself today!
The Timeless Beauty of Sundresses (New York – September 16th, 2009)
I got to say, whoever came up with the sundress was a genius. It’s such a pretty combination of comfort, style and fun. Put anyone in a sundress and they look 10 years younger and one recession happier. Am I right? I am!
Check out today’s look. She looks so happy that I’m even willing to overlook the strappy sandals and chunky bag. Even the name sundress brings fun stuff to mind and a cute pink one with a floral print makes me see images of a beach in my head. Can’t you see her there? Walking along the crystal blue waters, dodging the surf… Does anyone else feel like a pina colada right now? I guess it’s just me.
This look comes to us from the corner of Mulberry and Bleeker (close to my favorite New York Falafel place!) courtesy of Lee Satkowski Photography.
