What and Where
Lately, I've been a bit obsessed about one-shoulder everything. I mean I've always liked it - for me, shoulders are inherently beautiful and with a one-shoulder outfit done right, it can be both demure and extremely sexy at the same time. I suppose the half-hidden half-exposed look certainly plays up to our psyché of mystery, of something kept a secret and perhaps, illicit and therefore, it becomes automatically, well for a lack of a better word, HOT!
It's not a huge surprise that one-shoulder designer dresses are particularly a regular at all red carpet events and award shows. From a fitness point of view, shoulders are one of the easiest areas to develop muscle tone on as it shows weight training results right away. The shape of the bone structure itself, the smooth curves on both sides connect all the way to your arms that it naturally gives this elongated silhouette of your upper body. I know I've talked about choosing my legs as my favourite physical attribute, shoulders come as close second.
Really felt silly doing the caged-animal poses but questioning J may not be a good idea if I want to have any sorts of photos here at Twenty York Street!
What about you, what summer trend are you especially loving right now?

cute dress! xo
Hot, hot, hot ML! You look great in the one shoulder dress! I really like the one shoulder look for dresses - for some odd reason I don't feel the same way about tops - I have no clue why.
This is such a great colour on you!
I love colors! This is such an adorable dress! I love the bright teal/aquamarine color! It's so pretty.

I cant seem to pull the one shoulder look off. It just looks awkward on me. Obviously you do not have this problem :)
I never really thought about working hard to showcase my shoulders - since strapless bras are my idea of a torture device, I tend to avoid any garments that would require them.
You, however, look gorgeous in this dress - the cut and color are great on you! Your little zebra clutch is just adorable too!

I really love the dress on you. A one shoulder dress is a perfect fit for you!
Beautiful dress, and stunning photos!! You look fantastic in this dress. xo
I love the one-shoulder look! But I don't think I actually own any! I do, however, love the bared shoulder look, and all I gots to do is rip a tee to bare my shoulders!

Sooo beautiful and sexy!
I'd always wanted to wear a one-shoulder dress or top but I always chicken out because I can't think of anywhere to wear them. But they are truly gorgeous!
your look great. I love maxi dress and cotton ones.

Not sure how I feel about the caged tiger poses... they're the kind of poses that some fashiony/art director types frown upon. LOL.
Your face says it all, "I feel awkward!" :)
The dress is brill, though. Love it.

that colour is gorgeous on you!
That color is stunning on you, and compliments your beautiful shoulders. I love that you kept you hair sleek to not detract from the lines and drape of that lovely dress.
I love this dress and the color really fits you!
