wanted: issa london silk jersey wrap dress

we're major girly girls at heart, so it's easy to see why it was a match made in heaven when we stumbled on this dress, as worn by Saana Lathan in Tyler Perry's "The Family That Preys":

uber hot, no? our sentiments exactly. we didn't even know the dress was by issa london until we bumped into it on ebay and did backflips :-) oh, and there's another dress we took an instant liking to when we saw it ages ago and it turns out it's...yup, you guessed it, another issa london creation:

print heaven like you've never seen it before, folks. the woman is a genius...and suckers for fabulous prints that we are, we're very clearly eating all this up rather nicely, thankyaverymuch! we don't have too much change in the piggy bank to stuff our closets full of issa london just yet, but there's nothing wrong with writing long wishlists in the meantime, is there? :-)
