For a functional and affordable dress, I always turn to Diane von Furstenberg. Her designs are sleek, and seemingly simple, yet offer such a stunning finished product. Every time I throw on one of her signature wrap dresses or just any DVF dress, I get compliments. The best part is her designs look completely different on each person. Recently spotted on Many Moore, the Diane von Furstenberg Elisa Lace Dress combines the sexiness of floral lace with the sultriness of a deep green sage. The satin slip is removable, but I do hope everyone will keep it on. Depending on your height, the dress should fall right around your knee. I love this for fall, and have ordered mine already. You could easily wear a belt over the top (my choice would be a sleek Fendi B Belt) or just leave it plain and layer on gold necklaces.

If you made it front row at fashion week, the Marc by Marc Jacobs Tiered Hemline Dress could be spotted from New York to London offering its feminine tiered layers with functional style. Ready to throw on and transition from day into night, this dress is a silk A-line with a three-tiered hemline that ends with a floral touch. There are short sleeves and a rounded neck. The shape is nothing to write home about, but if you have the body, this dress is a stunning piece. During the day pair it with a coat or a cardigan, and at night dress it up with funky tights and a pair of heels.

Milly dresses are perfect party dresses, throw them on and go out. If your job involves a fun work environment, this dress can transfer from day to night easily. The Milly Bead Embellished Dress is fun and flirty, sporting a dot print on the silk satin alongside a contrast beaded neck. An empire line and pleated skirt make up the body of the dress. Falling above the knee, this dress could be worn to work with a jacket and stockings, and easily taken out that night by removing the conservative coat and partying the night away.

Fashion Week for Spring 2008 showed prints all over the runway. While spring is quite a while away, getting a chic print to pair with leggings and a long sleeved shirt for fall is a fabulous idea. The Tibi Graphic Flower Print Dress offers a colorful flower print on the upper body of the black silk dress. The sleeves are long and loose and the neck is round. This dress appears simple, but the floral design speaks for itself, adding flair and spunk. And for those of us who enjoy wearing clothing from season to season, this will perfectly transition into spring, with a pair of sandals.

When buying many items of my wardrobe, I always attempt to find items that can be worn on many occasions and be easily dressed up or down. The beauty of the Issa Magic Jersey Dress is that it can be worn during the day or in the evening and look completely fitting and chic at both times. This silk dress is designed with a random multi-colored pattern features hues of purple, blue, black, and brown. All of these colors are ideal for fall and this dress is ideal for a blonde haired gal, who realized that purples are stunning with light hair and eyes. There is a self-tie at the front, a-la-wrap dress. The long sleeves are tapered into elasticated cuffs, there is a v-neck to show some skin, and the dress can simply be sliped on.
