  10. hrose - Thanks! And I agree wholeheartedly, Akira is just amazing! (although this dress is a very simple one, his resort collection is 'late' to arrive in stores). I love jewellery too! It can add so much to an outfit, don't you think? Have just started perusing TFS, and will look out for you ;) Am looking forward to seeing a pic of your formal dress.

    ryder, madame dior & rdp - Thanks!

    romeika & kira - Muito obrigada!

    the clothes horse - Thanks! Blue's my favourite colour too! I must admit I think the colour came out a bit brighter/deeper in the pictures...it's a little (only a touch) more subdued.

    H of Candid Cool - Thanks! I was actually wearing that Willow cream slip when I was at the store, so wore it under all the dresses I tried (which came in handy when I tried the sheer white one), and I liked the band at the bottom, when trying with this blue dress (as well as the black version I tried on as well) :)

    I love the blue dress!! It matches the Christian Louboutin New Simples perfectly! I also like it with the other accessories as well.
