the little black dress... never goes out of style

the little black dress - every girl's wardrobe essential...the failsafe dress you can throw on and have fun without having to worry. It never goes out of style and can be reinvented with some heels or statement accesories.

Well, sip likes to think of itself just like that - the LBD of drinks that never goes out of style and needs to be in every girls bag and so in spirit of the great LBD we wanted to share some of our favourites in time for summer. With thanks to those fabulous girls at ASOS for their inspirational piece in this months ASOS magazine... pair with a statement clutch or an across the body bag and your fave heels, boots or glads.
