Empty City
Planet Blue Black Label Dress, Michael Kors Watch, Vintage Aviators, Urban Outfitters Bag, Steve Madden Platforms
The lovely ladies at Planet Blue gave me this dress a couple months back and I’d be lying if I said I’ve been wearing it sparingly. I reach for it every time the weather cooperates and can’t get enough of the low-cut back, flirty length and summery pattern. Though I usually pair it with canvas Tom’s, I made the mistake of wearing my new platforms (that look identical to the Miu Mius I posted here) on an all-day shopping excursion with my mom. I always seem to forget that her energy levels exceed those of myself and all of my friends combined.

That dress is adorable and perfect for the hot summers in Philadelphia. Now if I could quickly loss the baby weight come May, I would totally sport that outfit. Those shoes are great. I never look at SM, I will have to now!
Love the back detail of the dress and the shoes are a great replica but, I agree not for a full day of shopping
but I guess you can’t help it when it jus completes the look
I am obsessed with backless pieces for spring:)

Love the summer outfit and the red color. You pulled it off perfectly with those shoes!
Oh wasn’t the weather this weekend delightful?! Love the low-cut back on that dress and what a great steal vs. splurge on the shoes! May have to check SM out.
xx Vivian @ http://diamondsandtulle.blogspot.com
You look so cute. As an official member of Tomboy Nation, I’m glad you’re wearing it, so I don’t have to. I could never rock it like that:)
Great shoes! They combine my two favorite trends for spring: wood heels and nude leather!
The back is my favorite part of the dress! Next up would be the color. Great look.
http://seejaneworkplaylive.blogspot.com/
I love this dress and that you can pair it with casual toms or those sexy platforms. Good score on the Miu Miu look-a-likes. My favorite part of the dress is the punchy color and the low back. Tres chic!
sorry to hear you had to torture your feet all day long, but nontheless, the shoes look stunning on you and I love how you paired them with the dress!

Youch! I’d be dead meat if I had to wear those lovely shoes during a shopping excursion!
Love the photos. Definitely a little piece of my kind o’ style in there.

I’m completely obsessed with your dress. I absolutely must own one NOW. And I just did a feature on TOMS — I’m totally in love with them right now.

I loved the pics!
You always look so great! Today’s post made me wonder if you were able to wear a bra with that dress? You’ve mentioned before you’re a larger chest type of gal, and being the same I always tend to shy away from dresses like today’s. Some suggestions on great bras would be fabulous!
I loveee that dress. I just stumbled across your blog last night and looked at your posts for an hour and a half! I love your style and simple and affordable ideas. I am now a fann fo’ life!
what is the style name of those steve madden shoes? i need to find them!!!
Those shoes are so cute and I love the dress too!
http://www.fashionsnag.com
best hair ever.
also, couldnt walk more than maybe 20, 25 steps in those shoes. impressive.
Am in love with these shoes… amazing colour and style. And your pictures are wonderful, as always
*Nathalie
Those platforms are amazing. I love them combined with the flirty dress.
“As pretty as”
The low back on your dress is incredible! I’m impressed that you can shop in heels all day.
Love the shoes! Are the available? I can’t find them anywhere and would love to snag a pair!
I want it! That’s definitely a knock any guy to his knees dress lol.
Also – I know you do a lot of recipes, but do you have any general advice on healthier cooking or some of your favorite substitutes?
Thanks!

Very flattering too.
Gorgeous lady! The embodiment of what summer should look like. : )
The dress is very nice, I think it would be also pretty wearing the new red Louboutin ballet flats. In Italy now are very fashion colored kefias, I love wearing them with flowers pattern summer dresses.

That dress is too much. I love it–you don’t see too many florals in red.
noo i was hoping you would leave your hair down- i wanna see it
but of course you look amazing.. that dress.. and those shoes.. WANT!!
Super cute! Loving the platforms.
I love those shoes…where can I get them??!
have to say his: the dress is fab and looks very nice with the platforms
You kinda resemble melanie laurent
) I love your outfit.
I love the wooden platforms! Do you remember what style they are? I can’t find them on the SM website, but I would love to own them!
Love the outfit it looks amazing
amazing dress!! red looks so good on you
This outfit is perfect! Effortless style at it’s best!
This dress is going down my memory lane as the cutest dress on Emily, ever!!!

http://www.hellopretty.net
please please please ID the name of those shoes! i need to buy them!
That dress is Ah-mazing. The shoes are perfect. And of course you looking amazing too.
Where did you buy the SM shoes, do you remember the style name? Love ‘em!
I also love the dress – but I agree with Hayley- what kind of undergarments are we talking here, a low back bra is always the hardest to find.
The crew at http://www.harrietmagpie.com would say,
in a bind, throw a denim vest over a dress like this to sport it up, and make it wearable with any bra — or, to show the back, stick a white tank underneath. Daytime cool.
Great shoes! The heel is very chic…
I just happened to buy the shoes today! The last pair too! Love love love your blog! Thank you for being effortlessly inspirational!
thechirpyladybird.blogspot.com
Fabulous red dress and platforms. I adore your looks. I do wonder how you can wear heels all of the time though, inspirational ha.

I ordered these from a Steve Madden store last week in Colorado of all places!! I wore them out last night, everyone was freaking out. They are called the Melrow & this store also has a wedge & vintage looking ankle strap that are also made in Cali!! Unreal. Call them at 303-331-8358, they said they only have a few pair left they’re selling out.
Oh my bought these at the store in Cherry Creek…totally loving them, they had a couple different versions all amazing!!
Thank you soooooooo much!!! I just ordered both the natural and brown from the Steve Madden store in Denver. The girl there was awesome!! Said they just rec’d a new shipment this morning and already sold half the order. Anyone looking better call them fast. 303-331-8358
Love the print on the dress. Your outfit looks so effortless!!! And your photos are great as too!!!

just to brag off a liiiittle tiny bit..just got new shoes..only 7 cm heel and a comfy flat bottom..— http://www.kronkron.com/index.php?acao=itemDetail&type=&brand=53&item=2060
I really like em..brilliant Icelandic design and I recommend you check out the whole line —- http://www.kronkron.com/index.php?acao=itemsByBrand&type=&brand=53
I blogged about them ones..(http://olofkristin.blogspot.com/2010/03/kron-by-kronkron.html)..not as interesting as the shoes themselves..just thought it was interesting that I was talking about how much I wanted a pair..and then now I got one!
I just found the shoes on Steve Madden where you can pre-order them. The style name is Melrow… this took me a week to find! I’m glad I checked back
