If you’re on the lookout to treat someone you love to something special, make it one of these lovely gems from the Fall 2009 Nanette Lepore collection.

A fabulous white dress will show off glowing skin perfectly.  Drop a couple hints to the husband or get yourself a pretty new dress as a gift. I came across three dresses that are just perfect for poolside cocktails and garden parties.
A white Eyelet Dress ($368) is a classic summer silhouette.  This strapless number by Shoshanna would look fantastic with a few minimal gold or silver accessories. The empire waist is flattering and the ruffled bodice is playful.

The hip-t is worn over your pants, but underneath your shirt – it just looks like another t-shirt or lace-trimmed camisole underneath:

I tried my hip-t (disclosure, I got a free one to try out) during a shopping trip, driving my car and sitting in  cafe having coffee.  It fit …read more
