THE M'O

Mon petites, the words Moda Operandi brings such delight to my soul that it's on the brinks of insanity! The uber haute site that allows you to shop straight off the runway (literally - the trunk shows go live in a blink of an eye) for F/W 13 the streets will be alive with the sight of hauteness thanks to this ingenious site. And fear not mon petites, if ordering and waiting for frocks is simply not your thing you can order from the M'O Boutique - it's just as fab. Here's just a few of my fave pieces that were up for grabs...
