And what better timing than just after the weekend's glitzy BAFTAs and Grammys? For those who probably don't know (that's most of you), I used to have a fashion blog called the White Shirt Challenge (Google treasure hunt it if you so wish) involving wearing a white shirt in many, many different ways for at least 30 days, and it's been a while since I've done a fashion post. So this is where I  ramble on a bit about pretty dresses and the weekend's rockin' outfits on both sides of the big pond. Again, sorry males.
