The coveted spring 2007 Stella McCartney dress - a silk, strapless A-line mini - still, months later, haunts our dreams. And those Sergio Rossi stilettos? Don;t even get us started. It’s hard being a broke girl with a rich girl’s wants. But at LUXE, let the nightmares be gone.

We can rest easy knowing the fashion of our dreams really can come true. less...
