attack of the killer salmon.. and find it for me - TUMBLR lace dress

Thursday, April 19, 2012
So.  It appears my dream run in the kitchen has come to an end; farewell newly-forged Masterchef career path.  Although I would like to shift the blame from my amazing cooking skills and onto another much more likely option - that we have been deliberately poisoned.  It appears (to me - bf is not on board with this suggestion) that there may be a 'wicked stepmother' figure down at the local Woolies who has attempted to harm myself and the bf, through not-fit-for-human-consumption salmon.  One word - ewwww.  Second word - bathroom.  The rest will not be shared - ever.

Hence the lack of outfit post - as work was not on the revised agenda for today.  Neither was food, the blog or even being awake or barely alive really.  I don't think salmon will ever be on the menu again. WAH.

BUT - there is light at the end of the tunnel - I do have a post.  Here is one I prepared earlier:

TADA.

So, when this find came through I did think it was rather mission impossible.  All I had to go on was an image from Tumblr of a girl in a white lace dress - 'find me that dress' was the request.  Hmmmm, this one was going to be tough.  Exactly how tough I found out two seconds later, when I uncovered a particularly super helpful fact.  Turns out the gorgeous girl in the image (Anna) had a blog.  FAB.  Turns out this blog is written entirely in Russian.  OH.  Not so fab.  For some reason my google translater has seem to have vanished off the face of my webpage.. so I was stuck.  Next resort - googling 'white lace dress'.  Okay - a definite stretch I know, but I was desperate.  Then... LUCK.  Found the exact dress (a stunning albeit very short 3.1 by Phillip Lim lace shift), and even a chain store copy version (thank you Mango).  Although both options are sadly sold out on their respective designer sites - hit up eBay; guaranteed either one will turn up sooner or later.  Also threw in a couple of other suggestions for good measure (from French Connection and Laundry by Shelli Segal), plus a some local brands that would be worth popping into (White Suede, Fleur Wood and Jayson Brunsdon I am talking about you - you all are masters at rocking a lace shift dress).  Read on.. and share your thoughts xx

LOVING that peachy-gold outfit combination above; that jacket is TDF.
