1) 3.1 Phillip Lim Pixel Dress
One of the most amazing prints we've seen this season. Rich, wild, artistic. With beautiful leather gemstones embellishment at the neckline... wait a minute, didn't Mrs Obama wear this?

2) 3.1 Phillip Lim Jersey & Silk Ruffle-Front Dress
A feminine, stylish dress for day or night with exquisite detailing: jewel neck, hidden rhinestones, ruffled silk panel zig-zagging down front to create the effect of cascading tiers.

3) 3.1 Phillip Lim Embroidered Crest Tank
Delicate embroidered crest on front with bead embellishments adds accents to this rather classic tank. Think about layering this over either a white or black tank, too.

At the risk of sounding like we're suffering from an overdose of superlatives, there really is only one word to describe this 3.1 Phillip Lim piece in peacok-blue & that is "flawless".
Such old school glamour, so divine, all eyes will be on you!
