Independent Woman

I'm so excited to share the pictures of this gorgeous dress, made especially for me by the talented designer Stacy Lomman. The dress was part of her Spring 2012 Biohazard collection, and I fell in love with the creative design and the futuristic vibe. I really wanted to wear it with bare legs and tall sandals, but until we get into our real summer, that is to say fall, I had to be content with wearing it over tights and boots. As you might imagine, I got loads of compliments on the dress, from both men and women alike.

The dress looks like it's two separate pieces, but in fact the strapless part is sewn in and unzips along with the outer panel. This makes it really easy to put on, and prevents the strapless part from slipping. I also love the extra long zipper pull in the back, which means I can zip and unzip it without assistance. A dress for the independent woman!

Biohazard

I was very excited to get my hands on this Stacy Lomman t-shirt, because I knew just how I would wear it first --as part of a simple jeans-and-tee outfit dressed up with a blazer. Since the colors went so well with my McQueen skull scarf, I figured I'd really go all out and add some bright red nails and lips. I love how the blazer is cut deeply enough to show part of the logo, particularly the "biohazard" part, which is especially fitting given the line of work I'm in. It took a little doing to tie the scarf up high enough to show the t-shirt logo, but through trial and error I made it work.

Speaking of Stacy Lomman, I was so happy to see that she successfully achieved her Kickstarter goal and put on another great runway show. I just love the mod references in her new line; my favorites are the red cutout dress with the long feather vest, the skinny white pants/cropped jacket combo, and the sheath dress with the British flag cutout in the back -- so creative!
