pretty frocks on sale



Nadinoo Fleur's Blue Spinning teacup dress, made from Liberty tana lawn cotton, from last season's collection. This is probably my favorite Liberty print since I am so obsessed with blue-white vintage looking prints; here
Rachel Antonoff  silky cream Tenn Tom dress  with three bows in a row reminds a bit on RA's so loved Tennessee dress; here
To be adored Sam silk tunic dress was one of my favorite pieces from last collection, floral print in blue with spots of red and organza collar are just too lovely; here
Kelsey Genna Picnic dress is reduced to half price because of the small blue mark on the back of it; here

Can you hear the melody? 
p.s.  If my paypal account wasn't empty, I wouldn't share this:) selfish, I know

floral'n'beach: Window Shop

If last summer we haven’t realized the beauty of floral bikini, this year we might spend full beach time in floral garden. Floral swimsuits can be gentle and sexy in the same time, depending on the way you wearing them. So for those caught in the romance craving of the season are more pale patterns, and for those still attached to edginess are brighter flowers.
For large range of floral swimsuits, it's right to give a blessing to French label Bronzette. All of the liberty prints, they used in collection are very splendid and romantic. It is not easy to choose between the models; Kate(triangle bikini), Mathilde(bandeau) and Rose (bit more feminine triangle) or prints (delicate portofino and bit brighter saint-tropez. Oh if we could have all of them. Stores that carry Bronzette bikinis are La Nouvelle Vague and Clickini.(all the bikinis and prices featured here are from La Nouvelle Vague)
From La Novuelle Vague comes also Guia la Bruna’s swimwear line. Lingerie and swimwear from young Italian designer provide us most romantic swimsuits, with all that joyful vibe of ruffles, bows and again Liberty prints. Let’s say that’s completely nothing wrong with the childhood vibe, cause anyway the most beautiful bikinis are those we wore exactly during our childhood. Watch out that in models like Precious Love, Dreamy Girl, Fruity Diva or Magic Swan, you don’t overdo with playing in sand.

Fashion baby wears floral leggings




Very reasons why floral leggings are very rad:


Very fragile with something of lace on the top
Very grungy with little snow washed denim jacket
Very vivacious- Great contrast to this season military parka
Very in-a-minute chic with spring flats or lace up boots(see Sasha Pivovarova in the Milan street style post below)
Very classic with the cool on all-black on the top (black dress)
Very plain- Old school floral prints on simple tank tops (see Madonna above)

How to rock the floral dress?


Last year florals on Michael Kors and Stella made me fall in love with gardening. And I got two floral dresses; one bought in vintage shop and the other provided by my grandmother. This autumn I convinced myself I won’t be influenced with floral no matter how botanical spring runaway will be. And it was. So again I bought myself two floral dresses; both short sleeved and bit bodycon. I even got floral leggings from second hand shop. In that period I was a bit influenced with Alicia Silverstone in Aerosmith videos; prints and floral à la rock. And just when I caught myself ready to operate again through my grandma’s closet, I’ve run on article by some fashion theoretic saying she wants to puke from all those chic editors, fashion journalists in floral dresses and fashionistas wearing baggy clothes and looking like they replaced their closets with those from their grandmothers.
I was a bit unpleasantly surprised. Do we sometimes look like that?
Is it that bad that we love vintage clothes? I mean loving grandma’s clothes beneath its fashion sense, signifies you are connected with your heritage. Oh mine; I don’t see sin in that. If we wear floral dresses we won’t be grannies like our therapist from above stated. We are inspired by them but we are living according our time. And we do rock vintage clothes.

And to survive hot days I like to remain my rock spirit. In light spring evenings I'll wear floral dresses on massive boots like those refined heel version Dr. Martens darcie. Finally we have a heel on icon shoes. If I am wearing it daily I’ll be most likely to pair it with casual sneakers in grey and cool chain necklace, lovely for having lemonade and chilling in some park.
We fashionistas are rock childs in our souls.
p.s. I don’t know why some people still refer image of vintage or second hand clothes with unattractiveness. Aren’t they aware that fashion has its circles.
p.i.s.s If you have grandmother I encourage you to peak at her closet from time to time. She’ll be glad you like her clothes. Just don’t get too carried away, she still needs to wear something since she probably doesn’t shop as often as you do.

chic while out of town

We are in spring just few days and since moi and you are totally exhausted from winter it's time to be out of town for a weekends. Pack a few smart items in a chic travel bag or big tote and escape somewhere. It doesn't have to be house in Martha's Vineyard just go anywhere where you can be surrounded by nature. Organise something with your sweetheart, or friends. I know packing is always tres difficult but that's why you have misslikey. To learn from her mistakes

What to pack for harmony with nature weekend?
See i now last season Stella McCartney totally had impact on you to buy a floral dress. I'm sure you have it somewhere in your closet. This it the right time to get it out of your closet. I found some interesting items on polyvore that might be useful for packing.



Misslikey like Carrie believes you can get girl out of city but you can never get city out of her. When you get bored with inner peace take a break and escape to nearest town for a coffee break. Yes make sure you bring warm scarf with you, never know when will get cloudy. I fell in love with soft suede fringed flats from Charlotte Ronson. And Marc by Marc Jacobs mixed stripe jersey dress from net-a-porter is my one of my spring favorites.

When in nature smell natural. My favorite is floral fragrance Daisy by Marc Jacobs. MJ Said about it; Daisies don't smell, but I wanted to evoke the feeling that you get when you see them; happy and youthful..That's why probably it is my favorite. Cause I always try to remain petite beyond.
p.s. if you still can't talk anyone into chic nature getaway run all by yourself. Try in a charming way persuade your friend to lend you a weekend house.
p.i.s.s. you won't look weird even if you are alone.. you are in nature..you'll had time to sit on the porch and listen to awfully chic françois chansons.
Just make sure to leave your computer home.
