Instead of always reaching for your favorite little black dress when you heading for a party, infuse some color into your wardrobe with a bold, colorful cocktail dress instead. All these gorgeous dresses are all available at Neiman Marcus right now. Any of them would be a fabulous choice for a summer party or special event.

This beautiful ruffled dress features a blue geometric print and feminine style. It has rows of vertical ruffles that add some pretty texture. This is a great dress for a summer party or an afternoon date. The colors are vibrant without being overwhelming.

You can get this halter style silk dress right now at Banana Republic for just $98. It comes in sizes XS-XL.

On the Banana Republic website, they pair this dress with these grey peep-toe wedges. These pretty leather shoes feature a 3 1/2-inch stacked wedge heel. I love the look of these wedges with this dress and also think it would look fabulous with a pair of white strappy sandals.

Kahri By KahriAnne Kerr

Don’t you love it when you find something that is out of the ordinary but not so weird that you won’t wear it? That’s what I like about the collection of beautiful fashions from KahriAnne Kerr. These clothes are unique and quirky, but very wearable.

The Kahri line features tops, dresses, jackets, skirts and shorts in silky fabrics and fantastic color combinations. The silhouettes offer billowy sleeves, interesting necklines and feminine cuts. Here are just two of my favorite pieces from the Kahri Spring 2009 Collection.

Kahri Love Child Top - Image: Kahri

Love Child Top – $168.75
The silk top has a colorful bodice complemented with silver sleeves and a black yoke. It comes in ultra-violet, fuchsia or aqua. I adore the sleeves. Personally, I would not wear a black bra underneath such a sheer top but it still doesn’t look horrible.

You Can’t Hurry Love Dress – $337.50
This dress features a silk top and a cotton/lycra blend miniskirt. The top portion has a black silk chiffon overlay and comes in the same three colors mentioned above. I love it the aqua pictured here. With this dress, it’s all about the details. It features two front pockets on the skirt, a black silk belt with gold rings, and a exposed zipper at the back.

You can find out more about the Kahri label, view the Spring and Fall collections, and shop online from her e-boutique at Kahri.com.
