Cupcakes and Cashmere

Lei Love

June 10th, 2008

Though I initially mourned the chopping of Sienna’s illustrious long locks for her messy bob, I now love her short hair. It really suits her seemingly laid-back lifestyle and she manages to make even the simplest of ponytails appear stylish. Additionally, I’ve been rather obsessed with this Red Embroidered Cotton Voile Dress that I saw her wearing a while back. Since $315 seems a bit steep for a little cotton dress, I’ve been looking for a worthy alternative ever since.
Forever 21′s Lanikai’s Spagetti Dress exudes a similar, Hawaiian vibe with a dramatic floral print. The criss-crossing in the back is so delicate and I can only imagine how great it would look with a golden tan. While I certainly wish I had Sienna’s budget for clothes, this affordable option will look just as amazing with some metallic flats and a pristine pedicure.

    I prefer the one you’ve sourced as Sienna’s one is too A-line (ish) for me. The colour of red with white and silver is fab in the summer

    You might as well get the same look for less, right? The dress you found is brilliant.

    Sienna seems to look good with whatever hair she has at the moment. How does she do that?

    would you believe sienna lives a few doors from me? she drinks at my local which is just outside my bedroom window. ive often thought of hanging out the window and asking her if she likes my outfit but my boyfriends thinks that inappropriate. the forever 21 dress is a great alternative. xf

    Red and white looks really fresh–do get the dress! And there’s something “just so” about a perfectly mussed ponytail–if it’s the right length: neither too long nor too short. Kind of like Goldilocks.

    I really loved when she was brunette back in 05

    Oh my – I am also crushing on this dress BIG TIME. I’ve been scouring eBay daily but no luck yet.

    Your substitute is nice too but I like the thicker straps of Sienna’s because unfortunately going bra-less is not something I can do.
