I recognized the dress Katherine wore to be from Alice + Olivia.  I think it’s a perfect little black (and white!) dress to wear to the show. It’s playful yet still dressed up and perfect for a party because of the sequined bodice.

The Alice + Olivia Sequin Strapless Dress is nicely priced at $595. Although still a bit high price-wise, it’s a fantastic dress that will be appropriate for many events and parties. It can be worn simply as Katherine did with a pair of black heels or black ankle booties and tights. Throw a little red into the mix and you’re golden.

If you want to get this lovely frock for yourself or someone on your holiday shopping list, you can pick it up at Neiman Marcus.

Alice + Oliva Sequin Dress Shines at 2009 AMAs

That’s also when I find the plaid shorts. Plaid shorts like these Alice & Olivia Chocolate Plaid Wool Cuffed  Shorts. I’d rock these with a plain black shirt, a khaki sleeveless shirt or a grey halter top while wearing some nice flat sandals. I totally have the outfit already picked out.  Now, if only I could say these shorts would fit if I bought them.  Bluefly.com describes them as a viable option for those girls that have to go “from uptown to downtown,” but I’d just wear ‘em about everywhere. 

They have a zip fly with a button and double hook and hinge closure (some days I love those..others not too much..like when you get bloated maybe?) They’re about 3 1/2″ inches long and have a 7 1/2 ” inch inseam. They are currently $115.99.

Alice & Olivia Chocolate Plaid Shorts

The Spring season is quickly coming upon us, you may be stocking up on bold colors, hobo bags, and even some animal print.  But, if you would rather spice up your wardrobe with some classic and timeless luxury, try some of these gold pieces.

On trend with a high waist and even kind of bubbly with the super big legs, these gold toned shorts also have tailored pleats.  The rise is  about 14″ and the inseem is close to 3″. They’re $345. 

Alice & Olivia Gold Sequin Scoopneck Top 

Of you are always looking to add a little spark to your outfit, whether it be your work wardrobe or your night on the town outfit, this glamorous sleeveless top is perfect for the Spring/Summer. It’s $220. 

Shoshanna Gold Metallic Bikini

I know I wouldn’t be able to pull off this look, no matter how many hours of mystic tan I did, but if you’re looking for a gold bikini check out these pieces from Shoshana. I love the ringed center and the triangle top. Even better, for the girls with bigger girls, it isn’t padded (woop woop!). The top is $51. The bottom has matching rings on the hips. Super hot! The bottom is $45.

Of course, any awesome luxury piece is a good investment, in my opinion. So, whether it be gold, silver, bronze, or blue, just buying something luxurious every once in a while is a good thing! Just try something new every once in a while, like the gold!
