Sparkling Diamond Rings for Her

I was browsing through Neiman Marcus this morning, particularly in their Resort Collection section, and came across four black and white dresses that would made amazing gifts for that special fashionista or yourself!

Just Cavalli One Shoulder Dress ($520) – How fabulous is this zebra print dress? It’s also doubles as a tunic so you can wear skinny jeans with it for Fall and Winter.

Andrew Gn Leaf Print Dress ($1645) -  I adore the leaf print of this dress. The busy pattern is offset but the simple and stylish silhouette.

Jill Sander Asymmetric Bubble Dress ($1895) – Here’s a fun party dress that you can dress up with multi-coloured accessories.

Valentino Red Tiered Ruffle Dress ($895) – A flirty and feminine dress to wear during the Spring and Summer months. Or if you’re at a tropical destination this Winter, this would make a lovely cocktail dress.

Aren’t they lovely? All of these dresses would be a great choice to wear to a afternoon or evening party. All you need are a few bright accessories like blue, yellow or even pink. If you want something a little more traditional, red is always a fantastic accent colour for black and white.

Kate Spade New York Park Avenue Hoop Earrings ($75) – Classic hoops get an update with pretty faux pearls and glittering faceted glass!

Kate Spade New York Park Avenue Ring ($95) – A lovely cocktail ring encrusted with faux pearls and rhinestones to offset that little black dress!

Pearls (whether genuine or faux) are definitely classic and timeless and these accessories by Kate Spade shows them off quite beautifully. There are also two necklaces and another bracelet in this collection but they’re just a little more than $200 – still beautiful though!

The Miu Miu Round Toe Lattice Pumps ($590) have the traditional platform pump shape but what makes it stand apart from the rest is the lovely shade of beige. It’s also available in black (Nero) if you prefer.  The lattice detailing makes these shoes quite sexy.

This is definitely the type of heels you should wear with just about any outfit. The neutral colour will go with everything from jeans to party dresses.  One way to dress these down is to wear them with a simple outfit of jeans, a white tee, grey cardigan.  The heel measures 5″ but the hidden platform is at least 1″ so in reality it’s a wearable 4″.

These are a definite must have for any fashionista this season! Treat her to shoes that will look amazing now and years from now.  These Miu Miu pumps are available for pre-order on the Bergdorf Goodman website.

These pretty Prada Floral Pumps ($750) are one of the newest shoes available from the Prada resort collection. These are fun shoes that won’t fade into the background of your outfit, they’ll be the stand out feature!  I really love the combination of the beige (Talco) and white (Quarzo) leather. The flower details are sweet and ultra feminine and the silver hardware compliments it just perfectly.  The peep toe is sexy, as is the 4.5″ heel.

These shoes would make a wonderful surprise for that ultra girly girl in your life. She’ll be able to wear these year-round but especially during the Spring and Summer months.  The Prada Floral Pumps are available for pre-order at the moment on the Neiman Marcus website.

Pretty Prada Pumps

For the holiday season, there will be a number of fun party dresses we’ll either adore and admire, covet and conspire to get and ones that make you want to run in the opposite direction.  I came across this amazing Marchesa dress on the Bergdorf Goodman website and it just made me smile.

Even the model looks like she’s having a lot of fun, no?  This beautiful Crinkle Beaded Waist Dress ($2950) is absolutely stunning and looks as if it would so much fun to wear!   I really love the dramatic bell sleeves, the crinkled texture of the silk organza and of course the pretty embellished waist.  The materials are simple enough but the execution is stunning.

Naturally, the ‘average/real woman’ probably won’t have any reason to buy and wear this dress. However, if you’re part of that percentage that has the means and an occasion to wear something this over the top, all I can say is – I’m jealous!  And if you’re thinking about buying this for someone special (aren’t you generous!?) you can get it through the Bergdorf Goodman website. While you’re at it, I’d like it too!
