Herve Leger Resort 2009

Here are some of my favorite pieces from the Herve Leger Resort 2009 collection:

strapless printed dress, $1250

metallic print dress, $1450

beaded asymmetrical dress, $2520

I’m really into the shimmery dress look, I think it’s very pretty and perfect for summer! It still has the tight bandage hold of HL, but it doesn’t look like the traditional bandage HL, you know? I love it when you can’t tell what brand you’re wearing (although fashionistas would know right away if it’s HL!)

They still have the classic bandage look, and in some really bright colors too, but my pick to buy would be any of the above three. Gorgeous!

altered Gypsy05 maxi

I finally had the chance to get my maxi altered.

I was very nervous about getting the alteration done… no way was I going to hem the beautiful bottom, but was worried about cutting fabric out of the bust area due to the color gradation.

Anyway, I found an amazing tailor on yelp, and she was amazing! She even saved the Gypsy05 tag and reattached it on the final dress, and I didn’t even have to ask her to do it.

As a point of reference, I am about 5’1″, and had to remove about 3 inches from the bust area. I still have to wear wedges with this dress though. I thought the dress might look too weird if I wore it with flats/flip flops because of how short I am, plus the gradation would be more noticeable if I cut out even more fabric.

Gypsy 05 liza maxi

So I found an amazing deal on the Liza maxi! Shipped for $130, who could resist that?!

Go to Blue Heaven Boutique, and also apply code: April10 to get the special price. AWESOME! I’m excited to get my first maxi dress =D

Gypsy05 maxi dress

I think I’m in LOVE with the maxi dresses from Gypsy05! Especially the Liza maxi dress (retail: $207):

I love the gold leaf detail along the bottom and the color gradation! Here’s the blue one on Paris Hilton:

Here’s a red one on Tori Spelling:

I’d love to get one, but I’m afraid it’s going to be really long on me, and it’d be a shame to have to hem the bottom!
