Great Minds Think Alike … About L.A.M.B.

by

Earlier this year, I ogled a L.A.M.B. dress on the soon-to-be-defunct eLuxury. I didn’t plan to get it, but when it was reduced further I couldn’t resist. More recently, I was rummaging through my gorgeous client Melissa‘s closet (she was rummaging with me — I didn’t break into her house) and I found she had bought the same dress. Looked like a good excuse for a night on the town to me.

We really went out like this.

Melissa wore a black shirt under her dress. I wore a black jacket over mine. We were with three other people, so we blended in a bit and didn’t look quite as crazy as we would have if we were dining a deux.

Gorgeous client/blogger Angela and her two backup singers.

The dress is still available on eLuxury for $159.


If you buy this dress, you have to come to New York and wear it out on the town with Melissa and me. Don’t try to weasel out of it.

And now for your daily reminder: Don’t forget to vote for me for Best Fashion Blogger of 2008. I can’t be first, but I can still place! Voting ends tomorrow. Thanks heaps to the gorgeous, willowy and tights-wearing blogger Fashion Herald for writing such a nice campaign post. I’m honored.

UPDATED TO ADD: Gorgeous blogger Lisa points out that I did a “twins?” pose with her, too.

  1. LOL That is hilarious! You two crack me up. I knew it was coming – Melissa had told me but the reality of the pictures is priceless!

  2. I love that! My friend and I were shopping and both fell in love with a pink cardigam, so we both bought it.

    But she won’t let us wear it at the same time! Grrr…

  13. It is a fab dress. I’m really into L.A.M.B shoes at the moment. I think I may have to buy a pair.

  16. I want to buy this dress just so I have an excuse to invite you to dinner next time I’m in NYC!

  17. Oh my goodness, what a picture!! 🙂 I think you should start labelling posts that include twin pics…remember the one of us in our plaid coats?

  22. That is sooo cute.. My best friend and I bought identical black FRYE boots last year.. and this year we bought matching Stuart Weitzman boots.. I thought we were strange…. or just a little SILLy..

    good to see we are not the only ones.. playing Matchy // Matchy..

  23. hahahaha!

    whenever i go on vacation with my family, my mother secretly will coordinate our clothes so we are all color coordinating and matching. she claims she doesn’t do it on purpose, BUT I KNOW HER SECRET!
