I love the mini dress Anne Cleveland is wearing from Stephen Burrows' Fall 2009 collection! I love mini skirts! My mother isn't a big fan of them, but I wear them any way.

paulistanangelina said...

Yay! Super cool!

Cavalli and Preen are my favorites.

Sharon S said...

Hi there-fabulous picks my dear, I used to think I should stay away from mini skirts as I get older, but as long as you get your outfit right, its a fabulous look!

carolina @ patagonia gifts said...

OMG, they are so sexy! I love the Louis Vuiton skirt. Such a pity I would need some skinny legs ... :(

ahh these minis never get old, I especially love the ones that flare out a little bit. Perfect for spring and summer--I can't wait!

Penny said...

damn their perfect legs!! i think i need to start doing some lunges! eek!

Diego R. Wyatt said...

Oh my! Some of them are a bit scandalous, but then again fashion should be! I absolutely love the Stephen Burrows dress, the silhouette created is amazing and the Mark Fast dress as well. I guess I like for arms to be covered up some when the legs are thrown out there. It keeps some of the mystery. Also, Amanda Bynes looks so cute. I adore her and her legs : ).

Sara said...

Wow, i love it!!

Meg said...

A bit scary for someone who doesn't love her thighs, but I might get brave a get one with some volume for spring.

I have the long legs to rock minis and I do often. Lovin it!

Fashion Moment said...

Oh la la! Fabulous!
Especialy like first, second and last photos. Of course, 3.1 Phillip Lim, Matthew Williamson, Hervé Léger, lovely Jill Stuart dress, and finally - Frank Tell!
Excelent, darling!

Aline said...

love minis! The twenty by twelve is my fav...the large sweater balances out the mini!

Tricia said...

uhoh, it's shorter than ever! i tend to be a little scared these days, but sharon's right, you can still wear minis as you get older.

Allison said...

CC you always make me want to do extra yoga for long, lean leg muscles :)
I'm so excited for the micro mini being in...I think they're absolute perfection for summer! Now all we need is some warm weather (at least on the East Coast!).

And you know, I have thought about writing something about my college experience...I think the worst part is that my college is considered "crazy liberal"..it makes me wish that some of these people could really see a liberal school!

please sir said...

They are sexy and cute!

Hemaly said...

I love the Preen minidress, even though I'm so self-conscious of my legs. The dresses are so sexy!

Lisa said...

You picked some great ones, CC!

Kati said...

I wish I had the body to wear some of those great items!

Baybay Mama said...

Thanks for the shout out!
I love mini skirts. I think that it is so liberating for women to wear them!

ilikestuff said...

Ugh. Must. Hit. Gym.

Terence Sambo said...

Beauty Standard Blog said...

Love super-short everything! Sometimes i'm a bit conscious about how short shorts/skirts i wear are, but it's the point, right? :p I still have to get my hands on a bandage mini skirt...

Great post, as always!

brooke said...

there are some pretty sweet legs going on here! haha. Great post :0

erika sorocco said...

I'll take the Elizabeth and James Soiree Mini Dress, the Peter Som lace blouse, and the Oasis jacquard skirt. Love!

Nicole Linette said...

Haa, there was a big controversy at my school about the length of dresses and skirst, but I'll keep wearing them short until designers stop making them look so good (aka, not for a while :P)!!

peace&love, nicole.

Graça Ventura Medeiros said...

Love them all! so sexy!! kiss

Dani @ Weddings Fresh said...

if only i had a place to wear Toni Maticevski! hot, hot!

Gigi said...

Love the mini, prefer it to shorts I think. As a side note, D&G Fall09/RTW knocked my socks off! NOT Dolce & Gabbana, but D&G! Just so artistic. What did you think?

AsianCajuns said...

I'm totally in love with that Louis Vuitton look - it's like over-the-top minimalism. I love it!

Anthea said...

The super short minnies are huge in Japan! Have you seen Lindsay Lohan lately? She is looking awful. The last magazine shoot she did, the one you featured, was absolutely shocking. I hope she gets herself together soon she is so talented.

Sienna said...

I love minis. The first picture is divine and that Louis Vuitton ensemble is seriously to die for.

phamzy said...

those models are sooooooooo skinny!
i'm dying to loose weight! lol

LenoreNeverM♡re said...

CC dahlin', heard this 'mini trend' was credited to Mary Quant, who was inspired by the Mini Cooper automobile, but André Courrèges was also cited as the 'nventor' and there is disagreement as to who got there first...anywhooo, they are still so fab...on the 'right' gal that is... Luv the trivia as usual...hee*

Unknown said...

my husband would like to see me in one every day.

shopinchic said...

Great picks! I love the Blumarine dress!

Kelly said...

i've really been craving a hot pink mini and that first one is perfection!

stylefrontier said...

The Voguette said...

omg is that really lilo? dammnn she looks good! lol. i love the short skirts, i just need to get the most amazing legs ever before spring comes! lol.

Danz said...

Hey CC! Gorgeous picks! Minis can look super sexy and chic on some girls, but sadly they're not for me. Even with tights on, I feel quite self-conscious and it's just not worth it if I'm not comfortable!
Hope you're doing well my dear. Take care and have a great day :)

Unknown said...

Those mini skirts are really stunning!!!!
Love all the pics,nice post ever..
Great work as always friend..=)
I hope you're having a great day cc.;D

Unknown said...

O how I wish I could! I fear I just don't have the legs to carry them off. The highest I go is above the knee. But I would love to mini it up.

T said...

So sexy! I love it. You can dress it up, dress it down, any way you want! :)

dangerussupermarket said...

love your blog! :)

Anonymous said...

tights are the micro minis best friend! =) haha.

Eri said...

Ohhh I am in love with mini dresses!!!

Anika said...

I will always love the mini, some micro minis may be too short for me to wear in public, but I will always adore them. Always!

Thanks for the pretty images once again, gorgeous CC.

Hope you're having a ball :)

haylin said...

lindsay looks great!
jonathan saunders seems very good!

Ellie Lee said...

Took a double take! Didnt know that girl was LL!! She looks AMAZING in that picture!! Love that Herve Ledger dress too!

Keith said...

I love the mini. These are great. I love them all. It's hard to pick a favorite. Really cool post. Thanks for sharing these with us. Cheers!

Syed said...

Oooh love love love it! I adored the Louis Vuitton and Preen pieces :)

Nina (Femme Rationale) said...

i am the first to reach for a micro mini but somtimes they get way too short and creep up. not fun having to constantly pull it down. haha

Annabel Wendt (LoveMore) said...

Sasi said...

Yay for this trend and for your picks!
But I don't feel too comfortable in miniskirts..

Anonymous said...

Julian Louie... what a classic, the last is my favorite, man I wish I could pull something like that off.... back to trimming my thighs.. but I swear I love doll-man sleeves..

Little Bow Prep said...

I love the first and last ones. I also adore the 3.1 Phillip Lim tweed rhinestone shift. I think Leighton Meester wore it once.

Frankie said...

I'm loving all of this dark lipstick! Great selection of photos as always, CC x
