If you are looking for something sexy and chic on a normal price ($30-$60) – this is your brand :) I came upon it on karmaloop.com and totally felt in love with their dresses.

Today’s buy – Denny Rose mini dress, from your local store. I liked it for the 1970 look, the lace and the leather trim details.

* Last year we had the biker jacket, now the upgrade is the aviator‘s one. Because, you know, aviators are much more cooler then the bikers, right? Remember Top Gun?
