Whether you’re looking for a bridesmaid dress or something extra special for that upcoming gala, this Tiered Silk Organza Dress from Carmen Marc Valvo may help you make that show-stopping entrance:

The periwinkle color adds a romantic touch to the pleated design, a strapless dress with a rosette gathering at the hem. It’s a pure silk organza dress with plenty of details – no need for extra jewelry or a handbag with this one.

Just grab a white or silver clutch and wrap things up with some silver metallic pumps.

Bowing Out in Armani’s Cady Bustier Dress

If you thought the bow accents and flower detailing were long gone with the season’s shift to simpler silhouettes and refined styles, don’t overlook the power of the flower and lace to jazz up anything in basic black. Armani brings us this simply sweet Cady Bustier Dress in black, complete with deep v-neck cut and elegant satin bow pinned to the side.

The strapless dress begs for some under-there support, but the extra investment will be well worth as you flit around to the next event on your social itinerary. Paired with flats or heels, this one’s a simple throw-on dress when your attendance is required at the last minute and you still need a pulled-together look.

Armani Cady Bustier Dress: $995, now available at the Emporio Armani online store

It’s All About Contrast in a Coat by Piazza Sempione

Sometimes it’s just fine to see things in black and white. A touch of contrast–the yin and yang of all things–just give you that cool, structured, and oh-so-simple style you need this season.

This Contrast Coat by Piazza Sempione keeps things sweet and simple, a knee-length pleated style with spread collar and side pockets. Made with virgin wool and just a touch of spandex for stretch, you’ll easily don this with a bold pair of python leather gloves.

Not that you need an excuse to put together another black and white ensemble. . .

Peek-a-Boo with Giuseppe

These heels weren’t made for walking, but sauntering tippy-toe to your fashionably late appointment du jour instead.

The Giuseppe Zanotti Peek-a-Boo Pump is a refined and polished pair; an open-toe gives you just enough space to show off the pedicure, and the padded leather insole stands by for support. While gold and silver were not meant to be, this Italian import is made with a dark grey chrome finish to complement a polished gold buckle.

Metallic leather with a signature 4” stiletto heel.

Gives me a good excuse to keep my head in the clouds. . .

Peek-A-Boo Pump, Giuseppe Zanotti: $520
