David Meister Stretch Satin Cocktail Dress
I have been drawn to David Meister dresses for some time now for many reasons. The fact is, clothing prices have gotten ridiculously expensive and finding a beautiful affordable for your budget piece has become hard. One of the most important parts of your wardrobe is your little black dress collection. I am so obsessed with finding the right LBD that my LBD collection is quite skimpy. I have been looking for something very fitting recently and ran into the David Meister Stretch Satin Cocktail Dress, which I absolutely love. This dress is absolutely sexy and fitted, made with acetate, nylon and spandex. The reason I really love this dress is because it is knee length. Let’s face it, not all of us love how our legs look and with the genius invention of Spanx you can suck in your thighs and stomach and wear a dress like this over the top. There are three pleats at the bodice and a seamed skirt. Not only do I love the look, but also the price!

Alberta Ferretti Pleated Chiffon Dress
This dress is the epitome of effortless elegance. The Alberta Ferretti Pleated Chiffon Dress has a divine look with the teal sleeveless pleated silk chiffon with a knot detail at the bust. The neckline is square and there is an empire waist. Teal is one of my favorite colors, as it really brings out my eyes and pops on my skin tone. I can envision this dress stealing the attention in a room, gathering all eyes and never loosing their gaze. Grecian inspired as many other Alberta Ferretti dresses, this is a traditional stunner.

This is the perfect cocktail dress!! I absolutely love everything about it, enough so that I am seriously contemplating pressing the button to add it to my shopping cart. The Oscar de la Renta Ikat Bubble Cocktail Dress is a fun and flirty multicolored cotton and silk strapless dress with a bubble hem. The only thing that would make this better is the perfect pair of peep-toe heels and you are going to be looking fabulous. I can picture myself wearing this in a trendy bar during happy hour with the girls. The bust features a built-in support so you can get away without having to wear a strapless bra. The skirt does have two slip pockets, which on some dresses is not super flattering. On this dress though it is perfect because the top of the dress is fitted.

I know it is so cliche, but wearing pink or red on a Valentine’s Day is a must for me. I buy into the holiday hype and enjoy finding cute outfits to put together during this holiday. I always buy a new pajama top adorned in hearts and cupid to satiate my fun feel and buy a sultry red number for my night out. If you are going to a very fancy dinner, the Oscar de la Renta Silk Gown is an elegant option. Oscar de la Renta is known for his refined pieces, which require no additional accessories. Pull your hair back in a slick up-do, put on a pair of heels, and you will look like a goddess in this red number. Understated elegance is what Oscar is known for, and this dress shows that perfectly.

While this dress could not be pulled off by everyone, the right body could totally rock this dress. The Alexander McQueen Kimono Print Dress features cream silk with a kimono floral print. The dress is sleeveless with a drop waist, a cowl front, and a ruched bustle on the back. The print is not my favorite but florals appeared again and again on the runways this season and are a sure hit. The dress is very elegant and great to wear out at night.

This dress popped right in my face and lured me in. It is sassy and flirty and perfect for a Holiday party. I am drooling over this, and think that it would be perfect for all of the Holiday parties I have to attend in Florida. Designed with 100% silk, the Marc by Marc Jacobs Runway Painted Plaid Dress adds a ruffled standing fabric band over the bust with an inverted center pleat and an oversized front bow. Seems like you are a big bow on top of a great present, but it is so fitting and perfect too. Can’t you picture yourself wearing it with black tights and a great pair of black heels getting a kiss under the mistletoe? I just love it! The empire waist is flattering for many body types. This dress will spread cheer!!!

Zac Posen is known for his clean lines and elegant designs, as seen on this evening dress. Straight off the runway, the Zac Posen Poisson Dress gives off a chic sophisticated aura. Designed with one of the hottest colors of fall, the violet silk blend dress features sleveless arms and a very low and very sexy cowl back. The front of the dress is relatively simple, focusing on clean design, yet adds a little extra touch with the slight v-neck and stitched ruffle detail. A perfect evening dress, for cocktails or a nice dinner or an event, this is a stunningly subtle design from the house of Zac Posen.

‘Tis the time of year for black and white tie events, art galas, events, charity, auctions, etc. This is my favorite time of year, I love dressing up and I love supporting good causes. It is just by chance that these events need me to wear a new gown, which I will do willingly because, after all, I must wear a different gown to each event :wink:. A runway look, the Roberto Cavalli Cleopatra Metallic Dress is designed with metallic green lurex with a sexy plunged V-neck and back. The gown falls to the floor, which makes this perfect for a white tie event. The design is meant to cling and accentuate your assets, focusing on your waist with ruching on the waist, bust support to show your top off with the plunging neck, and a low back to show one of the sexiest parts of the body, the simplicity of the back. This is not perfect for every event, but in south Florida I see it being fit for quite a few events that I will be attending.

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.
