DG6Why do we always gravitate toward the uber-tart look? And no cheapy uber-tart, mind you. The one with an unlimited budget. You know, the looks that require the equivalent of two month’s NYC rent for a cami. However, if not done right it may look like you walked out of a trailer park rather than a downtown studio. That’s where it gets tricky.

Enter our beloved Dolce & Gabbana *sigh*. We could do coverage of their line every day and never tire of it. Oh how we wish we could afford to scoop up the full SS09 line. The only style we’re not fond of is the denim dress look. It’s a personal thing, but if we’re going to wear denim (which isn’t often) we prefer it be limited to our bottoms.

On with the D&G lovefest…
