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.

I am currently obsessed with the idea of the little black dress. I mean with finding them, obviously. Fashion isn’t a spectator sport. Anyways, the little black dress comes in as many shapes and sizes as there are women to wear it, but it should meet some basic criteria, as far as I’m concerned. I know, you’re dying for me to tell you what those criteria are, right? Well, besides the L, the B, and the D, I think they should be the dead sexiest things in your closet, and not just some plain jane frock that goes from day …read more

There are few designers out there with the caché of Oscar de la Renta. He did his tutelage under the magnificent Cristobal Balenciaga, and then went on to start an incomparable line of his own. He has been a favorite of Hollywood starlets and First Ladies alike for decades.
