Drape me up, drape me down




Rachel Roy Layla dress
Sportsgirl silk chiffon embroidered shrug
Dior Extreme Pythons in Brown heels (will have to post better pictures of these shoes, they deserve a post on their own!)


PS. I warned you I'm not at all photogenic! Please excuse the horrible hair, it was in a messy bun which fell apart seconds before the picture was taken.


At the risk of sounding like a broken record, I simply adore draped pieces, and have done so for as long as I can remember. I love how the fabric drapes and flows with your body, exuding effortless glamour; and especially the fact that one needn't be tall nor slim to carry it off (I am neither), flattering any shape or size.

  1. that is one fantastic looking drape dress. What a colour. You look fab.

    It's an honour to be linked. Thank you.
    You are a smart cookie then aren't you? It seems you also have a fab taste.. I can see that in your posts.

    Good to meet you. :)

  5. Un-photogenic? Liar!
    You look amazing and that dress is to die for! It's draped in such an unusual way so it really stands out. Mmm also loving your shrug. I want to buy half the things in Sportsgirl this summer - particularly their blouses.

  6. Aw, thanks everyone! You are all too kind :)

    Tanya, I still maintain that I'm un-photogenic (and not just being humble or fishing for compliments either). I haven't shopped in Sportsgirl in ages! I bought that shrug almost 4 years ago, I think....

    P.S. Thank you so much for the tips--I will be checking those labels out.

  8. I take my own pictures using a self-timer. At home I use my tripod and when out and about I tend to just balance it on random items which I think gives interesting perspectives.
    My camera is a Canon Powershot SD 1000 and I also edit the pictures a bit on my computer.
