Cocktail Dresses

Many blog years ago, we posted about the up and coming model and Kardashian sister Kendall Jenner. Kendall was just on the scene in the fashion world then, but her break out moment came from a trip to New York with her sister Kim. C’mon! Remember the “Keeping Up With The Kardashian” episode where Kim took Kendall to New York for her shoot with Designer Sherri Hill? Well, if you forgot, Kendall spent the whole day shooting at Sherri Hill’s showroom in a penthouse suite on New York City’s Fifth Avenue!

Sherri Hill creates couture one-of-a-kind gorgeous gowns… the kind that will make heads turn on entrance! Beautiful cuts with intricate details and embellishments, Sherri Hill’s dresses, both short and long, are Prom perfect picks and give an aura of sophistication! Sherri Hill offered Kendall the opportunity to walk in one of her shows ON THE SPOT, but Kendall was too nervous and declined (much to big sis Kim’s disapproval, but Kendall didn’t want to miss cheerleading practice, GO TEAM!)

In true Kardashian fashion, Kendall conquered her fear and took Sherri Hill’s offer! Kendall hit the runway at New York’s Fashion Week on September 14, 2011. She looked fun, fresh and fabulous as she strut her stuff on the catwalk in some of Sherri Hill’s newest styles for 2012!

Alright ladies, now I know most of us cringe when our guys have ESPN on every second of the day (which is safe to say the same way they must feel when we have Keeping Up With the Kardashians on for the 900^th time, but how much Stuart Scott do I really have to listen to?!) The only shining spot on the telecast is on Saturday afternoons when Reporter Erin Andrews hits the scene. Erin has beauty and brains and is the face of ESPN's College Gameday! This girl reports on college football and basketball games every Saturday afternoon in an arena usually reserved for the boys! The girl's got game, literally! Incase you're still fuzzy on who Erin Andrews is... She was also on the 10th season of ABC's Dancing With The Stars (She placed 3rd, her partner was that crumb, Maksim).On November 9, 2011, Erin attended the 45^th Annual Country Music Awards at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, Tennessee. A lot of people have been trash talking Erin’s outfit, but she’s young and beautiful people, get real and stop judging! I have no idea why she attended the CMA’s either, maybe she can relate to Taylor Swifts heartache, but Erin wore what I consider a dead ringer for Sherri Hill.Rather than bore us with the usual evening gown and long trains sweeping around the Red Carpet, Erin glowed in her sequin mini cocktail dress! Sherri Hill Style 2771 will have you at mega watt celebrity status and is available in  a rainbow of colors! Shown in Green/Silver, Purple/Silver and Turquoise/Silver, also available in Pink/Silver, Silver/Silver and Ivory/Gold! Is this a New Year’s party ready mini or what?! In true Erin fashion, report back!

The 2011 Espy Awards (short for Excellence in Sports Performance Yearly Award), which awards the top professional athletes year in and year out was held at the Nokia Theater July 13, 2011 in Los Angeles, California. Always a part of Hollywood’s hottest Entourage, Emmanuelle Chriqui, who plays “Sloan” on the hit HBO show, looked F-A-B-O at last night’s Espy Awards!

Sloan was one of many presenters for the night and killed it in a black strapless Herve Leger by Max Azria dress! If the dress wasn’t smokin’ enough, the actress paired it with gorgeous, vibrant strappy platform sandals- LOVE! Can’t wait to see more of Sloan this summer on HBO’s Entourage, whose 8^th and final season premieres on July 24, 2011! (Vinnie Chase, you should have never given her to E for Mandy Moore!!)

They were bringing the noise in more ways than one!  Check out the sizzling songstresses and their Billboard’s choice.  Award winning or not, they were all on top!

Sophisticated in her long sleeve stretch Lanvin pre-performance, Beyonce, who later gave a killer performance with her new single “Who Run the World”, was presented with the Millennium Award for her career achievements (thus far, because you know she won’t quit!). Go B, Go!  BFF Kelly Rowland looked HOT  in her fuchsia Max Azria mini.  Destiny’s Child reunion, pleaseeeee!? In a stunning sequin blush Ellie Saab, Taylor Swift continued her run, earning Top Country Artist and Top Billboard 200.  She was also nominated for Top Artist and Top Billboard Album nominee.  Presenter Selena Gomez rocked in Dolce and Gabbana (her boy Bieber<3 had a BIG night, taking home an armful of awards and matching in D&G… if that isn’t love, I don’t know what is!) So they looked great, right? Well so can you! Dress like these stars! Similar styles are offered below from some of the top evening designers.  Hot styles just in time for your next special event... talk about deja vu!
