These flirty dresses are just what you need for a fun evening out with your girls or to wear to a swanky dinner party.
Sateen Lace Party Dress ($22.80) The touch of lace on this dress is romantic and subtly sexy. The contrast of black and nude is especially pretty and unexpected. You can play up the nude colour by wearing nude heels to elongate those gams.

The classic combination of black and white is sophisticated, modern and always on trend. It looks good on virtually every skin tone and goes with so many different occasions and situations. From work attire, to errand running to having dinner and drinks with friends, you can’t go wrong with this colour palette.
Loving the colour block of black and white  on this Two Tone Silk Organza Dress. It’s simple in style but is modern and chic. A fun and flirty dress is the Silk Chiffon Dot Dress, it’s a bit Marilyn Monroe-esque with the halter style and flowy skirt. You’ll definitely …read more

Technically, fall doesn’t begin until September 22nd, but fall styles are already here. Despite the chart-topping temps in my neck of the woods, I am stocking up on low-heeled boots, black tulip skirts, and structured shouldered jackets. This season’s dresses seem to be coming in two lengths, an ultra goth skirt to the floor, and a super 90’s skinny mini. I love the way the stretch fabrics of the 90’s, like net, mesh, and lace, are being revitalized, and I especially like them with an extra dose of pre-90’s retro, like this Stella McCartney dress.
This dress is so hot, I’m …read more

Carolina Herrera dresses some of the most beautiful women in the world for some of the most important events. She has dressed first ladies, hollywood starlets, and heads of state. Usually, the price of a Herrera gown is far beyond what I imagine to be reasonable, but from now until tomorrow night, Gilt is hosting a sample sale that brings her wares down to imaginable prices. There is a great selection of day dresses, cocktail dresses, and evening gowns, so if you have any events coming up, this may be the right time to invest in this classic designer.

Oh, the little black dress, could there be any article of clothing more classic and iconic? No way. But this season, the LBD is taking on new shapes, and it’s all about interesting draping and asymmetrical details. Even if you usually pass LBDs by with a blasé attitude, I think you’ll be surprised at how new this old standby can look.
Oh, Alexander McQueen, you little British bad boy, do you ever go wrong? Not in my opinion, and certainly not here. The classic Grecian draping we’ve seen for the past few seasons moves, in this dress, to the bottom, which …read more

Alright, I’ll be honest. Badgley Mischka is not one of my favorite design duos. But I wasn’t pleasantly surprised at the dressed I saw on sale at Ideeli. They aren’t going to start any design revolutions, but their dresses are clean and classic, which is basically all that anyone can ask.
This slate colored metallic brocade dress is an easy stunner. The slim cut is flattering for a lot of shapes, and the princess neckline is, as well. What I like about this dress is that it combines such a traditional cut with such a flashy fabric. it really strikes a …read more

This strapless cocktail dress can also work as a short bridesmaid dress. It features a simple silhouette and tied bow at the waist.
You can get this dress in sizes 0-12 from Saks Fifth Avenue. This Amsale Blush dress is simply sophisticated and a beautiful shade of green. It’s not too pricey at $290. It’s a good idea to look around at department stores and not just bridal shops for your bridesmaids dresses. Oftentimes you will be able to find great deals.
With this dress, add a pair of strappy sandals along with silver jewelry and you will be all set!

This JS Collections dress is fantastic.  A lot of clothes tend to follow the same pattern, but this one is different while still being in line with current trends.  I love the sleeves on this, the little bows on the sleeves, and the piping; the black floral print against the white background is really exquisite.

Available at Barrie Pace which ships to the United States.  See their women’s clothing sale section, too.
