Hello, Lover!

When I first saw dresses from Lover some time back, it was love at first sight. Here, check out the latest pieces available at net-a-porter...just lovely (hey you sailor dress, i.want.you)! If I took Lover home, Dear Hubby wouldn't be jealous, he wouldn't even mind it one bit (well he will, because the price tag is "Ouchy!") Hahaha!



Loved by stylish girls like Alexa Chung of MTV's It's On (here wearing what else, but a puff sleeve dress from Lover, note: MTV was smart enough to capitalize on this girl's style star status by chronicling her outfits and linking up actual if not similar pieces in her wardrobe to different shopping sites, so adoring fans can easily copy her look)...



And Kirsten Dunst and Michelle Williams (who both starred in previous Boy by Band of Outsiders lookbooks, my kinda girls! Heehee!), it's easy to see why Lover has gained such a cult following. It's girly without being overtly so. Cool girls can wear ruffles without looking like a silly bee.

If you don't know yet, Lover is an Australian label groomed to lure unsuspecting girls. Susien Chong and Nic Briand started selling Lover on a market stall in 2001 and let's just say, they've broken a lot of hearts along the way (Why does a dress have to cost upwards of $400? Pray tell me why!).



More temptations this way...Sigh...

I loveeeee LOVER. Have you checked their swimwear too? La Garconne has some Lover Pieces, I believe Jumelle too.

Another aspirational label!

I'm starting to think I need a hat ... one like that in the first photo or some sort of fedora. Since it won't stop raining in NY! GRR. What do you think? Or is it too Williamsburg hipster-esque?

I love Lover as well but so hard to get my hands on them here in Manila. :/

Omg! Yes! Thanks for reminding me about the swim wear and La Garçonne Eunice!

Yes Vanessa, aspirational for now! Positive thinking! Heehee!

Cel, I say go for it! I want a hat too!

Yeah, I doubt if there are Lover dresses in Manila Joni! =(
