The Maxi Dress: Taking Hems to New Lengths

 Gisele Bündchen for H&M Spring 2011

Say goodbye to the little sundress; make room in those closets for longer dresses. Knee-length, mid-calf, ankle-length - flowing hems are replacing thigh-grazing minis this season. Closely tailored for a slimming shape in semi-sheer organza and chiffon, no woman can go wrong with the right maxi dress. The gauzy effect of these airy fabrics adds a touch of sleek elegance to an everyday ensemble as skirts billow out from behind. Lace accents, embroidery, and floral patterns further accentuate the femininity and freshness behind this look.

Banana Republic

The ideal maxi dress for this spring embodies a certain chic modernity that redefines the old-fashioned frumpiness and shapelessness that accompanied former long dresses. Maxis flatter curves throughout the torso and along the hips, granting a natural gracefulness to its wearers. For shorter women, wear dresses that hit just above the ankle, as any longer length will shorten the appearance of figures. Conversely, seeing ankles peek out underneath hemlines actually elongates legs. Taller women may opt for floor-lengths with a natural or empire waistline to silhouette curves and give shape to the figure.

Dolce & Gabbana

Pair any maxi with leather-strapped espadrilles or chunky, stacked heels to draw even more attention to the ankles. These kinds of casual yet stylish heels perfectly complement the easy nature of a maxi dress without taking away from the simplicity of the look.

Beautiful

"Well," said Pooh, "what I like best," and then he had to stop and think. Because although Eating Honey was a very good thing to do, there was
a moment just before you began to eat it which was better than when you were, but he didn't know what it was called.                                                         - A.A. Milne

Walking On A Dream

Walking on a dream
How can I explain 

Talking to myself 
Will I see again

We are always running for the thrill of it, thrill of it
Always pushing up the hill searching for the thrill of it
On and on and on we are calling out and out again
Never looking down I'm just in awe of what's in front of me

Is it real now?
