Dresses I Would Love To Be Able To Wear But Just Wouldn't Suit Me

Such a long title deserves a long list of dresses but I just don't have the time or space to show you all the dresses I like but wouldn't suit me so I've narrowed it down to dresses I'd love to get but would look completely wierd on me!

Dress of the Day

I'm not really sure what to make of this dress. I think it's one of those Marmite dresses. You know: you either love it or you hate it (or you keep switching between the two!)...

Celebrating Ten Years of NewGen

NewGen (New Generation) is a project run by Topshop supporting young, British designers. It's been 10 years since they began this project and are celebrating their acheivement by asking 20 of the past NewGen designers to design limited edition t-shirts. Even more impressive is the fact that £7 from each item sold goes to a homeless charity called Centrepoint. Here are a few of my favourite designs...
