Snagged this dress and jacket in the Fashion District. Each piece was under $30. Both are so designer reminiscent I loves it. With their little sweet,

The dress felt very Chanel to me. As did the bangle and the art deco sunnies (both purchased Downtown too for mere sheckles.) Now that I finally have my dreamy Chanel purse I feel any white and black ensem will look super luxe. Chanel-ed up, if you will! Amazing what one timeless accessory can do to one's Santee Alley finds.

But realized tonight my dress is a direct reference to Diane von Furstenberg Celardo Tuxedo Dress. Ruh oh. DVF is gonna get mad at me again!
p.s. I asked these Marc Jacobs sparkly round toes to be my valentine and they said yes!!!!
Mr. Diabolina is just going to have to deal.

black + cream = the best color combo
that was so sweet of those shoes to be your valentine ;)
love the dress. Do tell which santee alley stall you got it from.
I <3 Phillip Lim. I met him when was starting out in LA through my gf who was modeling for him. Love his clothes then. He was going to sponsor one of my events w/ his collection but up and moved to NY in 2005 to start his collection. Please come back Phillip.
I love a tuxedo dress. Yum. Shocking how similar that dress is to the DvF. I really think that it begs the question of intellectual property--I'm for the rights of the creator, meaning knockoffs should be illegal. Allow a dress, and it's a slippery slope into music, art, and writing. So buy all you can now, before my cronies make it illegal.
I do love black and creme together too! I can't believe some of the great pieces you find in the alley!
lilcee,
DYING that you met the Lim-ster. I love that he is an L.A. boy. Really loving his stuff. He is my new fascination.
sable crow,
