Get out your glue gun and stick on lots of these, and these
And lo and behold, Cate Blanchett will wear it.
It’s been nearly 24 hours and I’m still trying to work out if I like this dress or not. What do you guys think? At the very least kudos to her for wearing one of the very few interesting dresses on display last night.

Hi-
I adore the color turquoise in these photos. Any way I can find out the paint name or number so I may duplicate it?
thank you -first time post from a long time lurker :)
I read the dresses sold out within minutes on launch in the UK, however I would have much preferred it if the Missoni/Target range launched here :)
Haha! Now you've got me rushing off to your blog to read all these comments...my Facebook page has been known to go a little nuts on the indoor/outdoor cat question though.
And I do want to say that I FULLY UNDERSTAND people who keep their cats indoors, especially in the US. The roads here can be crazy and there are things like coyotes and bald eagles roaming free, which are not exactly an issue in the UK.
I think "incongruous" is the perfect way to describe the whole thing. There are some stunning individual pieces and the site is amazing. I would kill to be that close to the High Line! However, yeah, total mishmash that does not work at all, and bigger mishmashes have been successful. Also, there seems to be no understanding of scale whatsoever. That place is swallowing all of that busy crapola.

I didn't see the back last night so the yellow on the front made no sense to me. Now that I see the back, the dress still makes no sense to me. I think I like it though, and the color is excellent on Cate.

That's my favourite post of the week, you've just made me giggle so much. That dress was hideous!

oh, i have to admit, i am completely in love with this dress especially on cate. she's such a goddess. i thought she looked stunning.
on the other hand, if i wore this dress, i'd look like i had a disease.

A week later and I'm still torn. Kudos to you all for at least having made up your minds...
