A debt of gratitude to Miu Miu...


Dress - Munky Bizness
Blouse - Bebe
Tights - Basque
Shoes - Pulp
Cuff - Self made

I was very much inspired by Kirsten Dunst for Miu Miu with this outfit, which I wore op shopping yesterday. The dress is kind of a 60's style tent dress - and I adore the lace overlay. I'm afraid I haven't much more to say today, I'm not feeling too well.



Here's a closeup of the cuff I made (from a leather skirt I bought at an op shop).

I love this outfit: black, white and red is my favorite colors combo :-) The bow is adorable too!

The Collector said...

Nice outfit.
Even though you are unwell you look great.
Hope you feel better soon! xx

Nadia said...

Oh, very lovely! Excellent work on the cuff.

Wow, great outfit. I think the just the right amount of shirt shows from underneath the dress. I loved that miu miu campaign too! I can totally see you taking Kirsten's place in that shoot. You've got her 'come hither' expression down pat :D

Emily said...

I love the deep red of your tights, and how it makes the black-white-red colour combination a little more unusual and interesting. Your cuff is lovely, too.

Feel better soon! I've been under the weather for weeks now, so you have my sympathy.

cute! I love the bow cuff. I hope you feel better soon :)

The Clothes Horse said...

I loved those ads as well. You look fantastic.

That bow is great, quite a talented girl you are!

And I really like those red tights. So far I've only been able to find really strong red ones, yet I'm searching for a pair in a shade like yours.

jane said...

you kind of look like Kirsten Dunst

I hope you feel better soon! At least it's winter and you can be sick cosily ... being ill in summer is somehow worse. Or maybe that's just me.

I think you look quite a lot like Kirsten Dunst, actually - you have the same delicate features. :)

Great outfit!
Do you mind if I link you to my blog?

Stunning! Those Miu Miu ads were beautiful. You pull off the look really well. You do have a similar look to KD :)

AlicePleasance – Oh, tit’s my favourite too. I’m trying really hard to work some other colours into my wardrobe.

The Collector – Thanks! I am now completely cured!

Nadia said – Oh thank you – it’s a little messy close up, I’m afraid.

danielledelamont – Hehe, excellent! That campaign is so inspiring, I just adore her in that. My ultimate goal is to have the curls and the red lipstick like she does, but so far I’ve failed pretty miserably at both.

Emily – Thank you, these are my favourite red tights.

esme and the lane way – thanks! I am now wearing the cuff far too often.

The Clothes Horse – thank you very much! An insanely huge compliment coming the style icon herself.

Jimena – They’re great tights, I highly recommend them!

jane – A lot of people say that, it’s quite funny.

a cat of impossible colour - mm, I did rather enjoy being in bed for 18 hours, very cosy. It is a much better time to be sick – steaming mugs of tea, fuzzy dressing gown… Definitely improves the pain of being ill! And, thank you – I like the idea that I have delicate features, I have always thought that my ridiculously straight nose ruined that.

Bucca – Thank you! And, link away, I’d be delighted!

PorcelainBlonde - Thank you! I’m so glad I’ve found other people who like the ads, a lot of people don’t.
