La Mia Boutique 04/2013

For once, I'm writing a review and I find myself without a lot to say.
I don't know if it's a good or a bad sign for this issue, or maybe it just means it's forgettable.

One thing that struck me, is that there are a s**tload of sheath dresses this month:
These two are part of what is described as a 50s inspired photoshoot... Do you see it? I don't. Not even the styling looks vintage.
Anyway, I kind of like the second one, with the faux top underneath.


These two are as generic as it gets. I really don't have any comments, except that dog is as adorable as it  is random.

More randomness... A wedding dress.
Is the model mad because she has a huge bow attached to her back?

Now, the only two pieces I really like in this issue.
The dress looks very chic on the model and the cinched waist makes it very wearable.
The jacket is just incredibly cute, with the cropped sleeves, the rounded lapel and the two buttons.

Finally, we have a Carmen Miranda inspired photoshoot (again, why? So random...).
Can you visualize how excited the LMB stylist must have been when he was told about this theme? If you read a few of my reviews of this magazine, you know that I HATE the styling and I'm convinced whoever is in charge might be a little crazy. It's always bold makeup, chunky jewelry and generally A LOT of accessory, so this must have been a field day for the guy.
But to be fair, some of the garments are actually cute.

That's it. All I had to say.

Since I'm running out of space in my room in a spring cleaning mood, I decided I'm not going to keep this issue, so it's for sale on eBay.
I also listed a bunch of old issues that need a more loving home, so please check this link out if you're interested.
