Splash of Roses

Lucy Liu's dress at the 70th Annual Golden Globe Awards
"Lucy Liu's gown is like Halloween, you either love it or hate it. While we are in the latter column, blinded by a flashback to grandma's kitchen wallpaper, there was plenty of Twitter love for the risky Carolina Herrera gown, especially among fashion critics who applauded Liu's bravery on the red carpet." -- MSN

I  love it!


Refreshing, non-traditional, whimsical, brave.


It shows both designer and wearer's chutzpah,  self-confidence and unorthodox ways, being true to themselves whilst keeping that elegance. I'm pretty sure that after gown after gown of traditional design here came an outfit that gave one's eyes a respite from sameness. 

Even the spirit is given a lift, a whiff of inspiration, and some shift to playful mood. 

We all need to break away from the monotony from time to time and disengage from the usual. So shake things up and do something novel.
