I'm so glad...

...after a long busy week of work...

I finally found my perfect LBD!

YESH!

I've been trawling the little boutiques in Bangsar..and also the interwebs for weeks!

and now, just a quick 10min pop into Nichii Fashion store @Midvalley after dinner with some lovely ladies, I found it!

I haven't got a picture of it yet (I'm exhausted from work), but it looks similar to these...



As you can see, the "little" in the LBD doesn't necessarily mean "tiny".
Although it may seem sexier to get something clingy, microscopic and tight,
as I grow older, I learn (finally) that "short" doesn't mean better.
But then again, I was never one to have many "super tiny" clothes.

Yes, my clothes are small because I am petite.

Why the obsession with getting a LBD?



I have always been inspired by Audrey Hepburn.

She's such a classic beauty.



Elegance,



with an aire of feminine,



innocence.

Here's a lil "history" of the Little Black Dress.

The Little Black Dress

Since Chanel introduced the "little black dress" in 1926, it has become the epitome of chic. Her first LBD was a slash-necked, short silk dress with only diagonal pin-tucks as decoration. American Vogue called it the "Ford." Like Henry Ford’s Model-T car, the LBD was an instant hit, widely available, though only in black. Chanel believed fashion should be functional as well as chic. Radically simple, her LBD was designed not to show stains and to fit every woman. It was meant as the fashion ideal: a perfectly simple, yet sexy object.

This is my Fav classic.



Has a Happy!
