If you’re still holding on to those last few days of summer, or looking for that perfect little Labor Day party dress check out this fabulous 3.1 Phillip Silk Chiffon Dress from Net-A-Porter. I love the bright orange color! All your party pals will be fawning over it! It’s a fun dress because you don’t have to dress it up too much. Putting on a pair of t-strap sandals or even some funky classic black heels would be awesome.

Filed under Luxury
Some days I feel lazy, a jersey knit skirt, a t-shirt and flats and I’m ready to go. Other days I feel the need to get super dressed up and just be pretty, even if that means over dressing. Some days, my friends will ask me, “do you have a hot date later tonight that I don’t know about?” There is no hot date (sad face…) but I look hot! And looking good is always a good thing!
This Oscar de la Renta Sequin-Sprayed-On Dress makes me feel like getting dressed up for that non-existent hot date that my friends are …read more

Earlier this weekend I caught a woman wearing a denim tuxedo. You know the look, denim from head to toe. She had on a denim vest and jeans on. I wish I had the heart to tell her it was fashion faux pax. Alas, I wasn’t going to walk up to complete stranger and say, “Hey! You look a mess…in your denim tuxedo! You shouldn’t be wearing denim from top to bottom!”
I love denim, don’t get me wrong. I’m wearing jeans right now, but I don’t think I’ve worn a denim vest since 1991. Yikes! Thinking about wearing the two …read more

Oh Maxi dress…it has been a while since I have seen you. I wore a Maxi dress to work yesterday and it felt so nice. They are so comfortable and so stylish these days. You can hardly go a day without catching one celeb or two or three people on the street wearing one of these dresses.
Wear them with some strappy peep toe heels while at a party or fancy event. To make it more causual put on some sparkly flip-flops or flats to go with the dress. You’ll be a hit. You’ll also be a hit with this Milly …read more

Crepes? Who said Crepes? Crepes aren’t just to eat silly! Check out this Marc Jacobs Crepe Printed dress that would be super cute for a spring day out in the park with the kids, the office, or just to the grocery store.
The print is a psychadelic combination of mice and black that would look great with some classic black pumps and a little pink clutch (as pictured). It is 100% silk. The dress is 50% off ($1,200) at theoutnet.com and reminds me of the classic children’s book If You Gave a Mouse Cookie.
What inititally drew me to the dress, though, …read more

Sometimes, a dress comes along in a woman’s life that just brightens up her day. When your day isn’t going as planned; you cannot get that e-mail to send, the kids are not behaving, or you have horrible writers block there’s that perfect something out there. I know it!
And I’ve found it! Well, at least I’ve found it for this Spring. This Catherine Malandrino Embroidered Cotton Dress is a-m-a-z-i-n-g. It’s a blush pink that goes with every Spring ensemble.

Day 5 only two more days left! Let’s take a look at Narciso Rodriguez today!
When I was young I loved to color, I would color in coloring books, I would color on plain paper, I would color on walls…I would color on anything.

Even if I was coloring somewhere where I wasn’t supposed to, I was always coloring symmetrically.
