To say Oscar de la Renta gowns are beautiful would be a gross understatement. They are beyond beautiful! Oscar de la Renta is a fashion genius when it comes to creating gowns. I don’t know anyone who wouldn’t want to wear one of his stunning creations.
For Mercedes Benz New York Fashion Week, Oscar de la Renta’s Spring/Summer 2010 runway collection showed us that he can envision, design and manipulate fabric to create the most heart stopping gowns in all of fashion.
Here are some of my favourites from the collection…

This gown is so sophisticated! It’s simple but has an air of …read more

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

For the longest time, wedges didn’t seem to have as much fun as the rest of the shoes were…
They didn’t come in many varieties and it seemed like the heels all looked really similar.
Times have changed and wedges have caught up with the rest of the pack.  You can find unique details, cool cutouts and some decidedly-high tech touches in today’s wedge heels.

Go for sleek and sky-high with Burberry’s patent platform wedge.

Have fun with color with Oscar de la Renta’s bold “Batik” wedge.

Prada has taken a little something out of the middle with their strappy wedge heel.

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. 
I always swoon for his ready-to-wear line, but it is seldom within my financial reach. Lucky for all of us, Gilt is having an Oscar de la Renta RTW sample sale until Friday at noon. I love this Hammered Silk Halter dress. It is perfect for your next wedding or black tie …read more

If there was ever a time to visit the city of San Antonio, it would be right now. Everyone needs to visit because I will, in my dreams, be walking around the city in this  Embroidered Taffeta Oscar De La Renta Dress…everywhere.
However, to be serious…San Antonio is in the middle of an elaborate celebration called “Fiesta.” It’s an excuse to go to lots of parties, over pay for drinks, and of course get dressed up in bright Spring colors.
So, this Oscar De La Renta Taffeta Dress fits the bill. It is a blue and white dress with floral taffeta embroidery …read more

The Little Black Dress (LBD) is a little piece of fashion heaven that every girl should own. For an evening out with the girls, to an evening out with the significant other, it can go with you anywhere.
The thing is, though, between the months of March and August (and sometimes September) I question how light and fun the LBD is. But, after seeing Jaime Pressly in this little LBD at the “I Love You Man” premiere, I think that I can pull off a LBD look in the Spring/Summer.

If you’re like I am and am questioning the LBD look during the …read more

Oscar De La Renta is always a fashion week favorite. This season’s collection followed along with so many of the other collections of the season, lots of dark metallic colors, animal prints, and even hobo bags which are the it item of the Spring season.

What a bold move! Do you see the mix of animal prints? The little cltch looks like an snake skin and this blouse is a cheetah print. I like the detail, like the tie, of the skirt, and the coordinating shinny ankle boots. Oh, and the detailed leather gloves in the outfit make me want some leather …read more
