rock tha reem acra

reem acra was another one of those designer i had not heard of until looking through designers on nymag.com. my favorite thing about her spring 08 collection would probably be how frickin shiny it all is. also it made me like yellow and purple together and until thinking about it for a while it did not even remind of the lakers which being born and raised in la is very hard to do.

i think the cut of this dress is darling but would look much better with larger breasts which neither me nor most runway models have. for some strange reason i actually like how the belt blends into the dress and also my favorite thing about the belt is how there is no excess belt tucked in or hanging out because ugh i absolutely hate when belts do that.

now this dress or at least i think that's what it is i found particularly interesting. i really do not know if i love it or hate it all i know is i just cannot look away from it. most black dresses these days do not draw this much attention because usually black dresses are simple but this is so far from the norm which is probably why i am so attracted to it.

puffy sleeves always make happy as do sparkley dresses so this is easily one of my favorite pieces from acra's collection this season. if i was not too short to even think of wearing long dresses this would definitely be one of my must haves if i had ultimated money of course. i just think this dress is so fabulous.
