Mullet Dress Madness: The Hi-Lo hemline

Mullet madness is more mainstream than ever and I'm not talking about the haircut. There are numerous retailers selling "hi-lo", "Mullet" hemline dresses and more & more designers (including Bridal) playing with this tail gown. I never did really get the "business in the front, party in the back"

remark, as surely the shorter front is all about the party? Oh well, someone please explain!

Not everyone approves of this trend either, only a few days ago, Hollywood stylist Lauren Messiah declares "Lose the mullet skirt – the one that’s shorter at the front and longer at the back. That was a very short-lived trend." via Marie Claire.

With wedding fever just around the corner, I've been keeping an eagle eye for something a little different, in a bold colour and a delicate, flowing fabric, however... I'm not sure this style is it. What do you think of the "mullet/hi-lo" hemline? Discuss!

Blake Lively has been snapped wearing this mullet style on more than occasion, via tumblr.

Mullet dresses: Most definitely more striking in a light-weight satin, silk or sheer chiffon. Some high street number's I found perfect for summer days!

 

I love how this girl - Annabelle Fleur styled her LOVE label dress - also available via Topshop and RARE. Style with a simple statement necklace, belt and fierce heels!

Anyhoos, I'm quite excited about the prospect of a few summer weddings, since the past 5 i've been to have been winter weddings. I'll probably get to wear my cobalt multi convertible dress at least on one occasion.

Soooo, it's Friday, I've been a little loca loca busy this week and i'll only have Sunday to rest a little... but least I'll be able to catch up with you guys.
I'm a little peeved that I've managed to catch a cold just as Fashion Week (Athens Exclusive Designers Week) is about to start tomorrow. Let's hope Lempsip works it's magic. What are your weekend plans? Whatever you do, have a fantastic time!

Friday Round Up

First up, I'm a bit of a sucker for Gossip girl, Blake reminds me of a younger version of Cat Deeley (UK TV presenter gone Stateside, see below). In most behind the scenes shots, she's always laughing away and looks like oodles of fun to work with. I love her style on GG and she look terrific in this gorgeous shoot for Marie Claire UK, I love the lace frock especially!

End of an era? Farewell Kate Moss & Topshop big man, Phillip Green's business relationship. Has Mossy lost her edge? I really like some of the earlier collections (remember the tiger claw frock?), which sold better than her recent collections. Will Kate do her own line?

She took some seriously awesome iconic images of Kate Moss back in the day. The Vogue cover above was taken in 1993...

Ok, so now for the supremely randomness I like to bring on in my posts... I was driving home yesterday and drove past a road close to my apartment and saw what I thought was a massive bump/rock in the middle of the road. Took a second glance and realised it was a turtle, a huge one! I parked up and went back to the road to see if it was still there and luckily it crawled to the corner of the pavement by then. I couldn't bear knowing that this little fella might be in danger of getting crushed by a car, so I picked it up and took it to a bit of grassy green for safety.

Last but not least, some serious Red Carpet fabulousness!

Happy Friday kids!
