I Dream of a Lifestyle Involving Many Cocktail Dresses II: Backless Dresses

So I realised I forgot to explain my 'I Dream of a Lifestyle Involving Many Cocktail Dresses' series. Contrary to the timing, the series is not specificly here just because it's party season. It's here because I've been so inspired by Gossip Girl. If you haven't watched the oh-so-addictive Gossip Girl yet, basically, a fabulous event happens every episode and all the gorgeous characters are dressed amazingly -both girls and guys. (I loved Blair's birthday party: the clothes, the venue, the atmosphere!) Even in episodes that don't have parties, they're all still dressed fashionably.

So anyways, before I feature more dresses and accessories that I like, (such as in my post on Marc dresses last week), I have questions about some dresses. To start off with: backless dresses. I've been seeing a lot of backless dresses online and in high street stores recently, with the revival of a few 80's trends and racer back dresses.
I'm a bit confused how we're supposed to wear them. Obviously wearing no bras is the logical solution. Or perhaps some people would just let their bra show. But honestly, I do not feel comfortable at all even at the thought of not wearing a bra. I guess I'll just have to avoid all backless dresses. Sigh, it's such a pity. I really like some of the dresses that have this problem (like this grey studded dress above.)
How comfortable are you with backless dresses? And how do you wear it?

Jorge and his iPhone


The first of upcoming Filipino Holiday extravaganzas happened last night in a small suburb of DC. I saw dear ol' friends that I have not seen in awhile and was pleasantly surprised that one of them had a new iPhone. Now my surprise came not from the fact that he purchased this latest craze from Apple because Jorge is very much up to date with his gadgets, but it was prompted by what encased it! It was LVoeingly held in the all too familiar monogram canvas. I featured this latest accesory a few months back but have never really seen it in real life. The phone practically slid into the case because it was lined with what I believe is microfibre. Jorge has always been a Burberry, Prada kinda guy, so I was delighted to see a little LV creep into his collection. $225 in www.louisvuitton.com

Shopping Weekend -- 300th post



I was tasked to chaffeur Angel around this weekend as she revises her wardrobe for the winter months. It was two days of nitpicking shopping (she stayed overnite) as we braved the sale racks in three different malls. I think I have perfected the mathematics of computing discounts in my head. Thankfully, I refrained from buying anything so here's a couple of pics in the rare and few moments that I am actually resting.
