Dreams

Cute, cute photoshoot titled Dreams. For the full series of wonderfully disturbing pictures, click here! The pictures – the colours, storyline & objects - somehow remind us of Mark Ryden. Always nice to revisit his works every now and then. Mark Ryden’s paintings can be seen here.

our kind of girl

 
For the many ladies on the lookout for styling ideas. Discovered via Sprayglue, Piksi totally epitomises what we’ve been talking about: Simple pieces, bold colours with greys & blacks, mixing and matching to create wonderfully new looks. Admittedly, this look would look monotonous with time. But hey, we’ll take on each style inspiration as they come along! Till the next one, enjoy this!

Our first ever SALE!

 
WL and I are big on traditions and customs. So when it comes to Chinese New Year, it’s no holds barred for us: The redder and brighter our outfits, the better the new year has to be! 
To make sure you welcome CNY in the most auspicious fashion ever, we picked lots of cheerful pinks, lucky reds, happy orange and yellows [...]

grownup casual

We always get a little surprised when first-time visitors to our shop comment that SL caters only to young girls. The explanation tends to go something like: “Look at all these casual wear you have. I can’t wear that anymore, I’m working already!”.
