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.

I always turn to the Marc by Marc Jacobs line for fun items without it being exorbitantly priced. The Marc by Marc Jacobs Wild Cherry Dress sports a retro throw back feel with its cherry print on the solar purple sleeveless dress. Purple is always such an amazing color; it is fun, elegant, regal, and flirty all at once. The dress has a V-neck wrap bodice and button tabs on the shoulders and hips. Great with a pair of black leggings and a pair of patent peep-toe pumps, this dress is sure to be an attention grabber.

Thomas Wylde Pharos Maxi Dress

While mini-dresses were the big trend last spring and summer, length is what has taken over this spring and summer. No more must you worry about toning your legs just for the hot item of the season, now you can hide it all under your dress that goes to the floor. But honestly, it is also swim suit season and you can not hide much in a suit. The colors are blase, but the Thomas Wylde Pharos Maxi Dress will look great on the right skin tone and body. This dress is designed with flesh colored silk and jersey material and features a crystal embossed scorpion on the racer back. It would not be Thomas Wylde if it did not add some sort of edgy extra dimension. There is a contrast panel half way down the dress and the top is lined. While this dress does not suit everyone, it can be a long option for some.

Tory Burch Round Toe Ballet Flats

Posted on 03/07/2008 under Flats No Comments

Tory Burch Round Toe Ballet Flats I was surprised to see that any of you were not fond of the Tory Burch Reva Ballet Flats when I covered them earlier. While the shoes did take a little bit of time for me to break them in, I felt that was normal as shoes go and once they fit, they became my favorite slip ons. I recently went to the Tory Burch store at Bal Harbour to maybe pick up one more pair of shoes, and left with three new pairs, a new cardigan, and a new jacket. I could not resist! The new shoes on the block are the Tory Burch Round Toe Ballet Flats. They combine a feeling of the Reva Ballet’s with a hint of casual converse flats. Overall, the look is amazing! I picked up red and a tan color. They run big and they are not as stretchy as the Reva Ballets, but they are so chic. My favorite ended up being the red pair, because they offer such a great pop of color with a casual appeal. The sneaker inspired fabric is trimmed with shiny patent leather and features a toned down Tory Burch logo up front. Available in black and green at Saks (but a wide variety of other colors at your local retailer of Tory Burch goods).

There is a new celeb favorite on the block, and it is jewelery from Love Rocks NY. The collection features micro-pave diamonds embedded in 14kt gold and platinum pendants, rings, earrings, and bracelets that are all the rage right now. From Nicole Richie who is sporting a Love Letter Necklace with the letter H for her new baby Harlow to Hayden Panettiere who sports the Love Rocks NY Infinity Band Ring, the simple yet chic designs from Love Rocks NY are spreading like a wildfire. The prices are not cheap, but the designs are brilliant. Show the man of your life that you are his by sporting his letter on your neck, or specialize a locket with the date of your wedding on it, or opt for the cool Infinity band ring. The options are great and these designs are here to stay. There is an option of white or yellow gold in many of the designs.

Alexander McQueen Tiger Print Pashmina

Scarf accessorizing has become a huge trend; seen on celebrities such as Nicole Richie and Jessica Alba at all times. Alexander McQueen has become known for his skull print scarves, but the bold look of the skull was not appealing across the board. I saw the Alexander McQueen Tiger Print Pashmina and became completely enamored with it from the minute I laid eyes on it. I have always been a huge fan of gray and salmon hues mixed together; it is both soothing and sensual. This cashmere and silk blend pashmina with a tiger print design is the perfect carry-around scarf, great for traveling or everyday wear. And for the a-listers, this is a great piece to add lots of jewels and come up with an urban chic look.

Giuseppe Zanotti Stone Sandals

Posted on 03/03/2008 under Sandals No Comments

Giuseppe Zanotti Stone Sandals Spring is all about adding a pop of color to your ensemble. If you prefer to not wear an over-the-top dress, opting for bold colors in your accessories is an ideal option. While these sandals cost a small fortune, the color scheme and style is undeniably stunning. The Giuseppe Zanotti Stone Sandals feature turquoise leather with stone appliqués on the front and a small metallic heel. The small heel gives you just a little tiny oomph, which is needed with flats many times. I can see these looking fabulous on your vacation in Saint Tropez, or just fabulous wherever it is you live.

Oscar de la Renta Ikat Bubble Cocktail Dress

Posted on 03/03/2008 under Evening Dresses , Oscar De La Renta No Comments

Oscar de la Renta Ikat Bubble Cocktail Dress 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.

t bags stone t shirt dress Any of you fans of American Idol? I have been off an on a fan of the show, watching religiously one season and skipping out on the next. This season I am back in and obsessed with the show (who does not love David Archuleta?!). There was another gal, can’t remember her name or whether or not sh was the one voted off, meaning she is obviously forgettable, but I loved the dress she wore last week. I have always been a fan a T Bags, for their clothing is fun and funky and reasonably priced. The T Bags Stone T-Shirt Dress was the clothing item of choice for an American Idol contestant, and I thank her for wearing it because now I have mine on the way! This dress is made with black cotton and features multicolored enamel stone detailing on the front and a low scoop neck with gold trim. The sleeves are short and the dress falls above the knee. Absolutely young, chic, and fabulous.
