Shop update: New SL arrivals

image from here

we can be quite old school with some things in life. like the idea of dressing up for a nice dinner. or the concept of putting on a great dress for a date - first or otherwise.

this month, we want to really sell you the idea that you could - should! - make an effort to dress up for your lunch with the girls, the usual saturday dinner with your partner, and even that 12th wedding dinner you have to attend.

and we've brought in a huge number of dresses into SL to do just that: chic tunics, simple day dresses, nice A-line pieces and a very elegant (new!) selection of formfitting jersey numbers. plus, a super fierce cotton/linen jumper we know you will like. new stock out from Friday 21 Aug onwards.

What a yummy

looking plate of french toast. and we love that this is a make-this-for-your-wife receipe. thanks to the always enjoyable chubby hubby.

The love dress

this dress is so so cool. made wth vegan leather. buy it here, via vegan & vintage.

Shop update: FAQ

it's been two weeks since rockstar started and there're so many things we want to update you on. first(!), many of you have asked: yes our two stores will stock totally different products. you might see the same books and the odd object or two, but other than that, you're now going to get an even bigger dose of gorgeous dresses and pretty blouses at soon lee.

*these images by sarah maingot are too cute. we always think of our clothing at SL as comfort food and totally believe good style can be tasteful, wearable and reassuring, all at once(!). thanks to black eiffel for introducing us to sarah's work.

Shop update: rockstar by soon lee

we haven't been very diligent with our posting and mailing list, and this is totally the reason why(!).

we are very very happy to announce that soon lee now has a second store in town: rockstar by soon lee stocks nice, comfy, (gorgeous!) casual footwear and great clothing to go with them. we're doing something really new here and would love to have you visit our other blog over here to see what we're up to.

thanks so much to sole obsession and plus six five for their extensive coverage and our friends at fashion nation for keeping our big secret under wraps for so long!

rockstar is at #03-08 Orchard Cineleisure. more news/posts/pictures to come on both blogs, for both shops!

And just one more

A quick

interruption before we make our announcement(!). these wedding dresses are so different from each other, and so beautiful on their respective brides. thanks to jo, via emmerson and charmed.
