When I first saw Anna Excell’s dresses I felt like I was getting transported to Thailand. Anna’s dresses are incredibly simple.

By
Apr 29, 2009

I’m never shy about what I love in fashion. How could I? If I ever was I wouldn’t be blogging. Stating the obvious? These three labels are lovely. Ashe, of course, gorgeousness of silk and majestic prints. Love in Tokyo, romanticism at its best and Morrison, my newly found love and I must visit one ...
