  • Breaking Dawn Part 2 Premiere - Los Angeles

    The Los Angeles premiere of "Breaking Dawn - Part 2" was this past Monday, November 12th, and the stars of the Twilight series looked as stunning as ever on the red carpet. With all of the recent hype behind Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson concerning their alleged break-up, we were happy to see them reunited at the premiere. And, we always love seeing Rob Pattinson and Tyler Lautner all dressed up!

    Swooning and celebrity gossip aide, we were most excited about all of the beautiful dresses, of course! We loved the way Kristen Stewart, Ashley Greene, and Ashley Tisdale looked - their dresses were absolutely stunning. If you want to take a cue from these Twilight stars and rock their looks at your next formal event, check out our dress picks to get their styles below.

    All eyes were on Kristen at the premiere, where she wore a strapless nude lace gown. We loved the corset bodice on the dress, which framed the dress against her body. You can get a similar look with one of these nude & lace dresses from from Jovani & Mac Duggal:

    A.  Mac Duggal Style 78554D – A couture evening gown that features a sweetheart neckline and embroidery and rhinestones throughout the bodice, with a lace and tulle drop waist skirt.

    B. Jovani Style 5990 – This strapless sweetheart neckline gown features a lace corset top and layered tulle skirt.

    Ashley Greene looked so elegant in her blush colored chiffon one shoulder dress. Find your perfect similar look with either of these pink dresses from Nika and Clarisse:

    C.  Nika Style 6055 – This elegant one shoulder ball gown from Nika by Niki Kapoor has a rouched tulle bodice, and a beautiful tulle skirt.

    D. Clarisse Style 2120 – A beaded iridescent halter chiffon prom dress with a rouched waistline.

    Ashley Tisdale wore a sexy little black dress with long sleeves and sequins. Get a similar look with these sexy short black dresses from ALYCE Paris and Jovani:

    E.  Claudine for Alyce Style 2177 – Accentuate your figure in this beaded unlined tulle cocktail dress with high neckline and low scoop back. Long sheer beaded sleeves paired with a mini skirt bottom are the perfect complement.

    F. Jovani Style 9448 – This curve-hugging minidress takes sexy to a new level with its swaths of sheer that show off skin in just the right places. The neckline extends shoulder to shoulder to give a sleek look.

  • Dressing Up for Thanksgiving Dinner

    Halloween is officially over, and we're now in our first week of November - that means the next holiday coming up is Thanksgiving!

    Dressing up for Thanksgiving all depends on what type of Thanksgiving dinner the host has put together; some have very casual dinners (where you can wear jeans...or even sweatpants if you're just staying home!), but others have a more formal dinner (and by "more formal," we just mean a little more dressed up than normal, versus an actual formal event, like prom). If you're going to a more dressy dinner, it's good to look nice, but no need to go over the top. Read on for some of our tips on finding the right outfit for a more dressy Thanksgiving dinner.

    Since it's Thanksgiving, a more comfortable option is to go with a stretchy or loose fitting dress (like a tunic dress). You'll be glad you chose this type of dress while eating all the food that comes along with the holiday (especially since they hide the tummy)! Two of our favorite more loose fitting dresses are from Shail K. - styles KK3143 and KK3149.

    Style KK3143 is a Grecian style flowy dress that comes in colors red and black - both colors are perfect for a Thanksgiving dinner! Style KK3149 is a tunic dress that can be worn with leggings for a more casual look or with stockings to dress it up. It comes in colors black and ivory, however we recommend going with black for Thanksgiving (you'll see why below!).

    Another important thing to keep in mind with this holiday surrounded by eating is the potential to drop the food on your clothes. Whether you tend to be a very clumsy person or not, it's inevitable that something will be spilled during the night. Because of this, we recommend picking dark colors or prints that will hide any gravy, stuffing, or cranberry sauce that may find its way onto you. Going with a white or light colored dress may leave you showing off your dinner, rather than your fashionable outfit; with Thanksgiving being in Fall, the darker colors are part of the festive vibe of the holiday, anyway. Scroll down to see some more darker colored dresses that are perfect for Thanksgiving.

    Jovani 171150 comes in black
    Mac Duggal 76171R comes in colors red & black
    Sherri Hill 1522 comes in colors black, red, ivory, navy, nude, & plum
    Evenings by Allure A365 comes in chocolate & is on sale for only $39.99!

  • Accessorizing Your Formal Dress for Halloween

    Halloween is a great excuse for you to go over the top. But why buy a costume when you can use an outfit from your closet...or get those clothes you've been wanting? Just by adding a few accessories to your favorite dress, you can instantly be part of the Halloween spirit and have the dress to wear again any time of the year (without the Halloween accessories of course)! Read on to see how we added some accessories to some classic formal dresses to make them ready for Halloween!

    Little Black Dress

    You can get great use out of any black dress. This Clarisse black one shoulder hi-lo dress is one of our personal favorites (style 2174). Just add kitty ears, a witch hat, or vampire teeth, and you're all ready for Halloween! The real bonus, though, is that a Little Black Dress can be used for so many different occasions that you'll never run out of places and reasons to wear it.

    Dress: Clarisse style 2174

    Fringe Dress

    The fringe dress has been a very popular style lately. The look is taken from the 1920s flapper style, so with this in mind, this type of dress is great to turn into a flapper girl outfit!  This black Mac Duggal fringe cocktail dress (style 3479T) and Touch Ups Peacock high heals are perfect to be a flapper girl.

    Dress: Twelve by Mac Duggal 3479T

    White Dress

    White formal dresses are always stand-out pieces at any event. For Halloween, just add wings and you can be a beautiful angel! One of our favorite white dresses is the Mac Duggal style 6383N, which has a beautiful  fully sequined top and layered ruffles of chiffon on the skirt. The Sizzle by Coloriffics Inez high heals are a great way to add some extra glitter to the outfit!

    Red Dress

    Red dresses are always a sexy choice. And for Halloween, where there's a white dress for an angel, there must also be a red dress for the devil. Turn this La Femme 18110 cocktail dress into a devil by adding horns and a tail.

    Dress: La Femme 18110

    Purse: Helen's Heart Style FP-7051

  • Celeb Style - The Little Black Lace Dress

    The Little Black Dress has always been a quintessentially classic piece.   Necessary for every woman’s wardrobe since the early 1920s, the LBD has become popular because of how easy it is to accessorize and change for each fashion season.  As an outfit choice that can be worn to any social event at any time of year, this sleek, chic option is even a go-to for trendy celebrities.

    In particular, the Little Black Lace Dress has become a favorite amongst the fashion savvy today.  This formal look takes the stylish fitted black trend and gives it a flirtatious twist.  Perfect for a night out, fancy dinner party, or swank celeb get-together, the Little Black Lace dress has been making rounds.

    Check out these celebs, looking lovely in their lace:

    kristen-stewart-lace

    Kristen Stewart, in the news lately for her unprofessional relationship with Snow White director Rupert Sanders, donned this one-shoulder Valentino dress last October.

     

     

     

    Taylor Swift Lace Dress

     

    Taylor Swift rocked this lace dress at a CMT event last year.  The sleeve lacework compliments her flawless skin, adding some contrast to a plain design.

     

     

     

     

     

    Princess Kate Lace Dress

     

    Duchess of Cambridge Kate pulled off this royal look alongside hubby Prince William.  With a plain hairstyle and minimal makeup, Kate’s lace dress really accentuates her natural beauty.

  • Miley Cyrus' Little Bra Dress?

    Miley Cyrus hit the red carpet with fiancé Liam Hemsworth for the Australian’s in Film Awards, last night in California.  Cyrus, known to shock more conservative crowds with her style choices, wore a little black dress that has been causing some controversy!  The garb in question wasn’t your typical LBD, but a tightly fitted number with a bra-top.

    NY Daily News reported that lately, the singer has been making headlines for her intense dieting and risqué outfits, highlighting her new thin frame.  While many fashion-savvy, like the Huffington Post, love Miley’s chic cocktail dress, there are still others who find it a bit too revealing.   The Insider joked that “Although she's never been a model of decency in the past, you have to wonder if her wedding dress will simply consist of lace pasties at this rate.”

    Cyrus’ little bra dress might have been revealing, but its shock factor was defiantly moderate compared to other dresses this celeb has worn.  She wore a cleavage accentuating V-neck dress to the Billboard Music Awards this year and has shown skin in many other skimpy outfits during music videos and stage performances.  The “is that a bra?” dress might be a bit out of the ordinary, but some are giving it the thumbs up.  What do you think, too revealing, or totally chic?
