As I was watching the 2009 American Music Award arrivals, I noticed a really cute dress worn by singer Kris Allen’s wife, Katherine O’Connell. They looked completely adorable and their outfits complemented each other very well.
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 …read more

Do you want to wow the crowd and make everything green with jealously at your next party or get-together? I found a fabulous party dress at Anthropologie that will knock out the competition. The colour is bold, bright but still perfect for the holiday season.
This beautiful teal green silk Plenty by Tracy Reese Snow Queen Dress ($288) is a beautiful colour to wear for the holiday party season. Forget about red or black, wear teal green! It’s definitely a stand out shade that will look beautiful on just about any skin tone.  The super luxe black lace edged hem is …read more

Lace is so pretty and sexy. I love it. If you’re in love with the feminine and sexy touch of lace then you will certainly love the look the lace gives off with this One Vintage Charlie Dress that you can pick up at Net-A-Porter as well.
It’s a shift dress, but it definitely does not give off a lazy “I just have to have on a dress” vibe that many shift dress do these days. The full sleeves and scalloped cuffs are even more elegant than the patterned lace design. The scalloped edges continue to the high neck line.
As pictured …read more

Every fashionable fashionista knows her wardrobe is not complete unless she has a slew of little black dresses. While no one can argue with that, a well-dressed fashionista should also know she should also invest in a little red dress (LRD).
Little red dresses command attention, drama and maybe even a little bit of ‘power’. They’re perfect to wear when you want to stand out from the crowd. Of course, with the all the upcoming parties for the holiday season, they’re quite festive too!  If you’re in the market to find a gift for that special someone or if you’re shopping …read more

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.
