Zac Posen Trickle halter dress

2008-12-01T06:20:00.000-05:00

In our humble opinion, Zac Posen is the new Oscar De La Renta. Not since the Divine Oscar have we seen a male designer with such an ability to dress the female form. Somehow, Zac knows the perfect way to drap, tuck, and cut making a woman look and feel fabulous.

Just take a look at the detailing on this dress! The ruffle is a beautiful accent. Not too overwhelming, but making a great statement. And that statement is I Am Freaking Fabululous!

Arden B. One Shoulder Venezia Dress

2008-09-22T10:56:00.000-04:00

Is ruching on a satin dress a little bit tacky? Yes, but it's a look that only Arden B. would dare try (and charge nearly $100 for). If you're into the borderline hooker look, then I've found you the perfect dress.

Okay, I guess I'm being a bit harsh, but I still have to wonder: who styled this outfit. Are those fishnets?

Robin V-Back Cream Dress

2008-09-01T02:20:00.000-04:00

I was the type of kid who always wanted to be older, so I stopped watching cartoons at a fairly early age. Something about sitting in front of the tv laughing at Scooby Doo for hours at a time just seemed so juvenile to me. Unfortunately, it took me becoming an adult to realize the beauty of cartoons.There's beauty in their simplicity. Perhaps, thats why I love this dress. The collar and the shape are so "Wilma-esque." This mini dress would be perfect for a summer date. So enjoy it while it lasts.

2008-07-15T10:12:00.001-04:00

Brown isn't usually the color that comes to mind when you think of sexy. Well, not for me anyway. It's funny how an amazing piece of clothing can change your view of the world. Sexy is what I immediately thought when I first saw this dress on sale ($48) from Arden. B. It's short, sweet, and, yes, sexy.

I'm going to pair it with some chunky gold Jewelry and be on my way for a night out on the town.

Catherine Malandrino Patchwork Bubble Hem Dress

2008-06-27T07:26:00.000-04:00

Question: Are gaudy and fabulous mutually exclusive stylistic terms? I still cannot decide, and seeing this dress by Catherine Malandrino has done nothing to to end my dilemma. This 70s inspired frock, is almost horrible. The seemingly random mix of patterns and almost unflattering silhouette let it toe the line between chic and god-awful. What do you think? Love it or Loathe it?

Tracy Reese Runway Paper Bag Frock

2008-06-23T03:04:00.001-04:00

Metallic, like black, never goes out of style. Whether it be bronze, gold, or silver it's always chic and perfect for any occasion. That's why everytime I find great metallic dress I'm filled with excitment, because I immediately begin to think of a dozen ways that I can wear it.

This Tracy Reese frock is no different. I'm not sure how seasonally appropriate it is (the fabric seems a bit heavy). But I love it none the less.

Diane von Furstenberg Bowenia Strapless Dress

2008-06-06T10:01:00.001-04:00

When I was younger, my favorite color was purple. I didn't want to be like all the other girls who went gaga over pink, but I always loved it. As time went on. I just couldn't deny my love for the cotton-candy hue any longer, and I embraced my pink fetish. Now my pink is my all-time favorite color. Nearly half of my wardrobe is a variation of the shade. This dress from all-time designer favorite Diane von Furstenberg is brilliant shade of fuchsia. I just wish I could have worn it to my prom.

How could you not love Dolce and Gabbana? Yes their aesthetic is a bit trashy, but even the most ardent feminist can't deny the allure of a sexy dress.

I've already mentioned how my opinion of floral prints has changed drastically over the past few months, but I never thought I that I would actually prefer the bold, splashy prints to those that are more subtle. The darted skirt makes this more appropriate for dressier occasions. This dress would be perfect for an afternoon cocktail party or church.

But now they're slowly growing on me. Take for example this lovely dress from my fave retailer Forever 21. The print is absolutely gorgeous! Plus its a look that we can rock for day or night. Wear it with flats for the day or heels at night! What could be better?

The Sexiest Wrap Dress I've Ever Seen

2008-04-07T18:30:00.001-04:00

Hate her or love it: there isn't a department store brand that does sexy quite as well as Baby Phat. Kimora Lee Simmon's over the top nature is infused into every piece from her brand, and though sometimes her dresses, jumpsuits and jeans to seem a bit tacky, they can be just as fierce.

This snow white wrap dress would be a perfect swimsuit cover up, or pair it with Steve Madden's flat sandal for an airy look that's great for running daytime errands.

Cap-sleeve Silk Dress from Banana Republic

2008-03-03T12:21:00.000-05:00

I absolutely abhor the combination of black and yellow. I know that recently it's been extolled as edgy and cutting edge (see Vanessa Williams at the SAG Awards), but to me it just reads bumble bee.

That's why I was delighted to see Banana Republic break the mold by pairing yellow with brown. Not only is it a fresher look, but it doesn't incite my gag reflexes. Now, the brown belt, doesn't come with the dress, but it's of course available for purchase at the Banana Republic website.

As an added plus, the gold/mustard color is hot not only for the spring but for next fall as well.

Eyesore Of The Day

2007-12-30T14:17:00.000-05:00

Personally, I was never able to partake in the whole maxi-dress phenomenon. Being a mere 5' tall, I realized that by wearing, what is essentially, a shapeless sack I would end up looking like 10 year old boy. However, I know quite a few ladies who were able to pull of this trend rather successfully (all of them taller than 5' 8"). That being said, I can't imagine how anyone could possibly look good wearing this bubble-hemmed horror. I understand that BeBe likes to test the bounds of good taste, but this time they have gone too far. Que Horrible!

MarieMarie Ballet Dress

2007-12-29T14:20:00.000-05:00

I've probably mentioned this before, but I'm a sucker for a frilly dress. Though some may find my love for all things dainty and demure sickening, I am not deterred. That being said, it's now wonder why I was attracted to this dress by MarieMarie. The empire waist paired with the tulle is deliciously feminine. The deep sage green, however, offsets a bit of the over top girliness, and makes it appopriate for wear at any cocktail party.

It won't take you long to turn heads when your wearing this halter dress from Rachel Pally. Made from the designer's signature jersey, the cut doesn't leave much to the imagination as it hugs the body in all the right places. And as an added bonus, the draping around the midriff works great in camouflaging a problematic midsection.

This puff sleeve creation from Design History ($60) is in my opinion the perfect everyday dress for fall. Though the soft chocolate brown is a rather lowkey neutral, it would be quite easy to dress it up with a pair of riding boots, a long necklace (or two), and/or a pair of opaque tights.

The Only Dress You'll Ever Need

2007-08-29T17:40:00.001-04:00

This dress by Butter is perfect for all the urbanista's who are tired of having to purchase a new ensemble for every event they attend. Amazingly, this convertible wrap dress can be worn 10 different yet equally chic ways.

The only problem I can foresee is the dress is allegedly one size fits all, so those of us with a little extra junk in the trunk might have to work a little harder to achieve the desired effect. It's available in silk ($245) or cotton jersey ($225).

Juicy Couture Wool Shift

2007-08-19T10:23:00.001-04:00

Let's be honest, I've never really equated Juicy Couture with chic. But with their latest collection for fall, the label has chosen to forego the traditionallly comfy styles they're known for, and try something a little bit different. This stretch shift dress ($298) would be a gorgeous addition to any fashionista's closet.

I'm sure that the vertical stripe on this Rag and Bone shift dress is infinitely slimming, but is it also infinitely ugly?

Love It Or Loathe It?

2007-07-06T03:34:00.000-04:00

I have mixed feelings about this dress, and about the American Apparel Brand in general. I'm not a prude, but I feel like the AA ads are too provocative and borderline exploitive. I've also read some rather disturbing accounts of CEO Dov Charney having girls perform sex acts on him in his office. But I digress, I cannot decide whether or not I like this two-toned spandex dress from the notorious hipster brand. I shouldn't like it, but somehow it appeals to me. What do you think?

Eyesore of the Day?

2007-06-20T01:28:00.000-04:00

Yes that is a question mark after the title. I know I shouldn't like it, but I simply cannot decide of if love or loathe this dress ($20.99) from discount e-tailer gojane.com. There is something delightfully gaudy about this metallic tube dress. However, I have a feeling that most fashionistas will deem it ghetto sans the fabulous.
