>> I was going to wait until the weekend to post about the joyous package I received from Daydream Nation that not only has those uplifting HK stamps and postmarks on the package (I get a bit pathetic and teary when I receive parcels from Hong Kong) but more importantly, inside contains this dress that I'm wearing today which plays tribute to the humble postmark.  Look closely at the woven fabric and ye shall find markings that could make a philatelic nut go mental.  I'm almost semi-tempted to purchase a catalogue just to see whether these postmarks are the genuine dealio. 

From the small bit of mail which I received a while back containing their lookbook, I'm of course happy that it has given way to this even bigger bit of mail that carries through that Par Avion theme Daydream Nation have got going on in their A/W 09 collection.  I'll be delving into the other parts of this postmarked mail this weekend.  For now though, the dress has given me a way of wearing these old Zucca open net trews that have been languishing away in a useless manner…

  5. My mother is mad for HK stamps and each time I receive something fom there she scarily follow me with hungry eyes and a pair of scissors…

  7. oh the texture!
    i go weak at the knees for stamps and maps, ha.
    also love how you paired it with the demi-sheer jersey.

  9. Fabulous! I’ve been in love Daydream Nation since the first time you wrote about them but this dress just tops it all – I adore the print and the weaving is just fabulous! I may have to find away to actually buy some of this coming collection – hmm another penny jar maybe! 😉

  12. That is stunning, and perfectly styled.
    So strange: I was just about to post something starting with a photo of package from a lovely blog-friend in Hong Kong! For the very same reason, I love the packaging. I’m really not copying you, it’s pure coincidence.
    The details are great & I like the way you put this post together. Again, sorry about yesterday. Thanks for going to all that trouble to get in touch.

  20. The dress is magnificent … but also glad those trews got a workout. They’re truly fantastic.s

  22. This is an epic combination of textures. The trousers look like they’re made of chain mail. Classy, platinum chain mail.

  23. Oh! The woven design gives your outfit a different texture from normal skirt. The color scheme is also nice.
