Dresses

I just love dresses and could live in them during the summer. Since the weather is getting warmer and friends are graduating, getting engaged, married or having a garden party I always like to wear something that no one else will be wearing.

Anne Klein

I have to admit that I have not been an Anne Klein shopper in the past but ever since I saw these cute little pair of pink wedges I had to give Anne a chance. I found some really sexy and classic dresses that were perfect for weddings and special occasions.





Mistral shoes $ 88.95

Halter Dress with Full Skirt $194 I really like the wide empire wasteband and the darts that help everyone have a more flattering shape. This dress also comes in a very pretty aquamarine color which would be perfect for the Spring/Summer.

Embellished Cutaway Dress $210 I think this dress is super sexy because of the high neck and it only needs a great pair of earring and shoes and the look is complete.

On a different note I found Forever 21 Susie Skirt $25
it looks a lot like the Baby Tears skirt from the last post.

The gingham print has been around for a long time. I really like this print since it is really fresh and reminds me of warm weather.

A Night Out...

I really love going out with my friends or hubby and having a good time and love to dress up and look nice. I personally loved the column dresses that the celebrities where wearing during the Golden Globes.

I really like the carved sterling silver leaf cuff.

mini dresses

This Spring/Summer the mini dress is a big trend. I think this style is so cute and you better remember to take good care of your legs or this will just not look good on you.

Hoss
Eyelet Dress $345


This little eyelet number reminds me of something that would have been worn in the 60's.
I expecially like the square neckline.

Rebecca Taylor Rosettes Mini Dress $385.00

This dress is such a beautiful red and it incorporates both of the hotest Spring trends the mini and the floral.

This is a much cheaper version of the Rebecca Taylor dress and if you know how to sew you can add little roses on the bottom of this dress.

How adorable is this dress? I really like the little pockets it totally makes the dress.

Proenza Schouler

Proenza Schouler is the new GO International for Target. I made sure that I went to Target to inspect this new line and see what it was all about. There are a few pieces that are really cute and you should check it out for yourself.

Silk Colorblock Dress - Williamsburg Navy/ Black $44.99

This dress looks so much better in person that the pictures do not give it justice. It has a lovely design around the chest area and overall has a very flattering fit. The dress is made of silk so it does have sexiness to it and it is perfect for a night on the town.

Silk Bubble Print Colorblock Camisole - Wild Dove $24.99

This top is also really cute and I really like the attention to detail on the adjustable straps which a huge thing for me since I usually would need to have to take it in.

Stripe Crop-Sleeve Cotton Jacket in Wild Dove for $44.99

The cut and the fabric of this jacket looks like it would cost more than $44. It is such a great Spring coat and would go with almost anything.


Contrast Bound Woven Top - True White $22.99


I really liked this top on the web but when I went to get it I was shocked on how thin the fabric was. If you are into wearing the whole black bra under white shirts than this is totally for you, I was sadly disappointed in this top.

Does anyone find it weird that they chop off part of the models head?

Golden Globes 2007

I love to watch the Golden Globes to see what all the celebrities are wearing. It seems that many stars were wearing white while a few wore metallic dresses.

Sienna Miller

Wearing a Marchesa gown which was very pretty but I was not a huge fan of the hair. The back of Sienna's hair was messy in a bad way....

Hayden Panettiere

Wore a lovely Monique Lhuillier dress and I especially love the sash around the dress which breaks up the white and gives it a fun and funky edge. Her purse is very unique - you open up the jeweled part and it is a mirror which is perfect if you need to check your lipstick.

Emily Blunt

She is wearing a vintage gown and also won a Golden Globe.

Cameron Diaz

Many people did not like this dress and I have to admit I am not sure how I feel.

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt

They totally looked like old Hollywood glamor. In one of their interviews she seemed extremely quiet and not interested in being interviewed.

Penelope Cruz


This Chanel dress was made for her by Karl which was so nice of him. This dress looked really great on her.

Jennifer Lopez

The back of this dress was strappy and just lovely. The dress was very pretty and she really worked it.

Drew Barrymore

John Galliano for Christian Dior - I love this grecian inspired dress. Her makeup and glow was just great.

Some of my other favorites where Kate Winslet in a Azzaro column dress with Chopard jewels, Heidi Klum and Salma Hayek both in white dresses. I also totally loved Reese's hair it was simply amazing.

Wrap Dresses can be worn by most women and are very flattering on. This comes in six different colors. I love this dress so much that I had to get two.

RSAS304 Sheer Rib Long Sleeve Scoop Neck $32

When I saw this scoop neck top it reminded me of this picture.

Holiday Wear

Christmas will be here in one week and you will need something to wear!

Knit Dress $49.99

This breezy rayon knit comes is both black or olive and it also has a wide tie belt (olive for the beige version, black for the black). This would look really cute with leggings and some flats.


Crepe Dress $44.99

This sheer crepe comes in the folkloric print (shown) or in black. The fluttered sleeves are so complimentary to your arms and the high waistline makes the waist look super small.

Belted Wool Broad-collar Coat $129


This coat is totally fierce in my book. I love the belt and I love the color red! This coat demands attentention so if you are a wall flower this coat is not for you. If you love this coat but not in red it also comes in black.

I love how you can totally wear the dresses in the Spring/Summer of 2007!

My new favorite style is the kimono look. I love the long sleeves can cover your arms if they are not your favorite part of your body and will make you look really cute.

Love the semi-sheer and the all over flowers and how it looks with jeans.

Issa London Silk Kimono Dress for $590

I love the abstract print which is wild and fun and for the girls who love the leggings this is a great look to wear.
