Favorite designer



Whenever people ask me about who my favorite designer is and i say Luella Bartley im mostly met with blank stares and a who is that question? Luella hasnt reached houeshold name status yet but she's been steadily building her cred as a designer for a couple of seasons now.

i love her kooky style, the fact that she's a mother of three, is not super duper thin (yey to healthy looking people), doesnt seem to wear heels a lot (based on her pictures), is from a small town in england, loves nature and she surfs.haha that was the clincher for me. so its just not her designs that i admire but the whole luella bartley package.

I was in HongKong for holy week this year when i saw that she had a shop in one of the malls there. of course i had to scream "luella!" and run towards the shop.I got to buy two shirts from her spring summer 08 collection which was inspired by bats and sort of a floral rock and roll look.. i wanted one of the Dip dyed floral dresses but then my gash i think they were going for 30k for a dress and thats like not even in the same stratosphere of my budget. so i got the yellow and black bat shirt, and the white batman shirt pictured above.
