Mesmerize

Australian designers have really stepped up their game. (Side note: one problem is that our summer and winter are opposite, so they create lovely sun dresses right around the time our blizzards arrive.) Unfortunately, it is very hard to find the dresses to purchase, so I rely on mycatwalk.com. I checked this morning and found what I can only call works of art. Anna Della Russo would definitely wear these. In my more modest city of Chicago, people would find them shocking. No matter- the price tags are too high for my student budget. Still, I can admire beauty.

I have had my eye on Australian designers for quite some time. Now they are making an even bigger impact in the US. I have seen Aussie designers' lookbooks all over fellow blogs.

I discovered Schakuhachi senior year of college, when I wore a risque (to say the least) black dress purchased from www.mycatwalk.com.au. I'm proud I was ahead of the trend, because now everyone is going crazy for this designer. I can't wait to buy these two dresses!

The messy Alexander Wang-plait is perfect with these looks.
