The 2013 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show finally aired on CBS last night, and it was as amazing as we could have anticipated, especially with one of our faves, Taylor Swift, as the musical guest of the night!

Taylor rocked the event just as hard as the VS Angels, from her floral dress that she wore on the red carpet to the sparkly number she wore while performing on the runway! Check out what she wore below and how you can steal her style for the holidays and prom.

Floral print is such a popular trend right now, and Taylor showed off the style perfectly in the long sleeved cocktail dress that she wore on the "pink" carpet before the event. The black background color of her dress really let the floral details stand out.

Dress designer Sherri Hill creates similar floral dresses that are perfect for formal events from the Holidays to Prom. Two dresses that we love to get Taylor's short dress look are style 21224 and style 21198. Sherri Hill 21224 is a stunning cocktail dress that features an all over lace bodice and multi color sequin floral design. And, Sherri Hill 21224 is an elegant cocktail dress that features a sleeveless, sheer high neckline and an embellished floral design in the bodice with a short flared skirt.

And, the dress she wore for her performance was just as amazing as her "pink" carpet dress! She wore a glamorous silver and sparkly short number that was so complimentary to all of the stunning outfits the Victoria's Secret Angles wore.

Tony Bowls style TS21306 and Black by Blush style C132 are two perfect choices to get Taylor's glamorous look, especially for Holiday parties. Tony Bowls TS21306 is a Allover hand-beaded mesh short sheath cocktail dress with illusion cap sleeves, illusion scoop neckline over a sweetheart bodice, and an open keyhole back bodice. Black by Blush C132 is a sexy tank dress that rocks a deep v-illusion outlined in stones with a low open-back.

Each year, fashion gets more and more unpredictable. With so many great trends to follow this Fall, we had to narrow them down to just three.

Say YES to White after Labor Day!

Lots of rule-breaking trends this season, including the always infamous no white after Labor Day rule. These rebellious celebs are going against the rules of fashion by keeping white throughout the fall and winter. It's all about how you accessorize and the type of fabric.

This is one trend you can use for your next formal event; it's definitely perfect for the Holidays. If anyone comments that you're not supposed to be wearing white, they're just not up on the latest fashion trends!

Sherri Hill style 2948 White Cocktail Dress has the right fabric and the intricate beading to still give it that fall or winter look. This stunning dress would be great for homecoming..a cocktail party..or even an upcoming holiday party. Continue reading →

Summer 2013 is officially in full-swing and it's time to take out those bikinis from last year and buy some new ones for this year! If you're having a hard time deciding which type of bathing suit you want to purchase, or which would look best on your body type, here are the hottest styles so far from the 2013 season!

Floral patterns have been taking over in the fashion world, from swim suits to dresses. So, of course, we weren't surprised to see this vintage floral pattern spread across this High Waist Bikini. High Waist bikini's are great for every shape and size! They definitely flatter your curves as well as accentuate your body type! This High Waist bathing suit can be found at WildFoxCouture.com

Corset-Like bathing suit tops! These particular tops are great for girls with small to medium size busts. Of course, just like on bathing suits, anything with a corset shape is always figure flattering for all body types. The tops fit tight, and in this bathing suit case it provides bra-like cups for the bust to fit into. This item can be found at www.Delias.com.

Crop bathing suit tops! The cropped-top look is perfect for any bust size! It fits similar to a t-shirt and gives you a form fitting feel but a loose look! The crop bathing suit top is extremely popular this summer, especially for teenage girls. This bathing suit can be found at www.Macys.com.

The 66th Annual Cannes Film Festival was held at the end of May, and there were so many stunning looks all throughout the festival! One of our favorite looks was worn by DJ and model Joy Vieli. She wore one of our favorite designers, Mac Duggal, at several events at the festival, so we were of course very amazed by her outfit choices! Some of the events Joy attended included director Sofia Coppola's exclusive yacht party, as well as an after party at VIP ROOM Famous Club. She was definitely both dressed up in style AND partying in style!

Our favorite look that she wore during the festival was Mac Duggal style 78703R, which is the gown she's wearing in the above picture. It's such an elegant gown, but we loved how she gave it her own edgy touch with hairstyle and bold lipstick (and of course, her fierce model stance!). Mac Duggal 78703R has sensational beaded floral designs that fill the center front of this spectacular floor length evening gown, giving it such a unique look. All eyes were definitely on Joy in this gown with a thigh high slit and sheer one shoulder design!

 It's a great dress for prom or any other formal event. Black goes with anything and everything, after all!

Move over winter, Spring is officially here, and it's time to celebrate Easter and Passover to ring in the warmer weather! Even though it's still a little nippy out, there's no better time to get in the Spring spirit than Easter and Passover time. While it's always necessary to look fashionable, it's also important to wear ensembles that are reasonably conservative since you'll be around family members.

Pastel hues, florals, and lace are so in this Spring, so we picked our favorite looks for Easter and Passover. The dresses we chose are from Sherri Hill and Dave & Johnny because these designers always make great dresses that are perfect for a variety of different occasions. No matter where your spring holiday plans take you, these fancy frocks will not only have you in perfect fashionista form, but you can easily wear them right through the rest of the season (and even into summer!).

Our absolute favorite dress for the Spring holidays is Sherri Hill style 2941. Of course, Kylie Jenner looks amazing in it, but that's not the only reason we love this dress so much! This ornately embroidered mini dress is so perfect for Easter - the cap sleeves make the dress family appropriate and the lace gives it such an elegant look. We especially love the Blush color it comes in for Spring, but it also comes in plenty of other colors, too, if pink isn't your first choice.

Another dress that we love from this designer is Sherri Hill style 21131. This short, banded dress is so perfect for any occassion - from nights out with friends, to formal events. If you plan on wearing this for Easter, we just recommend that you pair it with a cardigan to give it a more conservative look.

Dave & Johnny style 8679 is a short pink dress with lace overlay throughout that's easy to dress up or down depending on the event you're attending. It's a simple, but feminine look that's perfect for the Springtime.

Dave & Johnny style 8472 is another cocktail dress that's great for Easter and Passover. The dress is covered with a floral lace overlay, and the waist is accented with a ribbon detail that ties to the side. It's such an on-trend feminine look, and works especially well if your event is on the more formal side.

No matter which number you choose, we recommend pairing the dress with a cute cardigan. Depending on how formal your event is, it's always good to have the option of covering up your shoulders. And, of course, since it's still a little cold out, it will keep you warmer!

The new year is finally here, and while that means looking ahead at what's to come, it also means reflecting on the year that's past. Of course, with our love for fashion, we've been looking back at some of the best dressed celebrities of 2012! We loved Lucky Magazine's list of their 25 best dressed stars because they included our favorite 4 in their picks. Check out our best dressed celebrities below and how you can get their look for your next formal event!

Jennifer Lawrence rocked some very fashionable outfits througout her Hunger Games promo tour - they even earned her a gig as the next face of the Miss Dior handbag! Our favorite dress was the one she wore to the Hollywood premiere - a Prabal Gurung gold cut-out gown. The gown reminded us of the shiny outfits the contestants wore during the Opening Ceremonies of the Hunger Games. If you want to be the star of your prom, check out Faviana style 7182 - a foil jersey mermaid style evening gown with mesh cut-out details.

Taylor Swift had a great year of fashion, from her casual looks, to being on the cover of Glamour, to dressing up in sparkly gowns at award shows. She's relatively consistent with her outfits, but she always looks so perfect, how can anyone complain?? We especially loved the nude gown with red floral embellishments that she wore to the CMA Awards show because of its elegance. If you want a similar look, try Sherri Hill style 21016 - a gorgeous strapless sweetheart high low gown with lace overlay.

This soulful singer is always dressing in glittering gowns and cinched-waist skirts that suit her beautiful voice. We love that Lana Del Rey paired dark red lipstick and her long brown hair with this sparkly silver dress - she looks so glam! Get a similar look with the dress Night Moves style 6755 - an all-over sequin gown with matte and shiny sequins. The strapless bodice is accented with a beaded band at the waistline for a more fitted look.

Jessica Chastain recently came into the spotlight for her role as a CIA analyst in the film Zero Dark Thirty. Even though she has a tough character to play in the film, she's been looking nothing less than gorgeous on the red carpet. Lucky Magazine says that Jessica tends to wear "feminine A-line silhouettes, well-placed sequins, and lovely lace." We definitely see all of that in our favorite champagne colored dress that she wore! If you'd like a similar look for prom, check out Primavera style 9490 - a gown with uniquely crafted sequins in a cross diamond pattern with a super sexy criss-cross low back.

Decorating our clothing with flowers has been a tradition for hundreds of year.  Originating in Asia, large floral prints on women’s kimonos represented natural beauty and femininity.  Europeans, fascinated by this culture, adapted floral prints for their own society during the renaissance.  It became a fashion statement for upper class women to wear dresses made from luxurious fabrics covered in beautiful flower patterns.

During the 1940s, floral dresses became the most popular trend.  Looking back to that time, it’s impossible not to picture women without their wavy curls, pearl earrings, and flower printed frocks.   How Retro says that “As fashion seasons come and go, floral dresses rise and fall in popularity yet have remained a constant in women's clothes.”  The delicate qualities of the flower makes wearing a floral print seem truly feminine.

“This season is all about the power of flower print,” announced Jovani in their recent newsletter.  Runway trends are all about pastel and neon colors, with “garden-inspired” prints being used in new and unique ways.  Whether you’re looking for a casual dress, or something more formal, you’ll be able to find a floral dress for the occasion.  Pick an accent color from one of the flowers to match your accessories and makeup, and your outfit will be a hit.  It looks like this classic style is here to stay!
