Welcome to Media Monday: Fashion In The News, a new regular segment featuring newsworthy fashion fiascos, faux pas, and other fun stuff. This week:

New Zealand fashion designer, Kate Sylvester, apologizes for offending servicemen when she had models wear war medals at her fasion week show (news.com.au).
Leave a comment and share your thoughts on this. Did this fashion designer act in bad taste or is this being blown out of proportion?

I love the bodice on this formal Glam Gurlz dress — the way various pieces of fabric come up and drape over the neckline, leaving little peek-a-boo sections in between.

It looks like they only have the brown left (perfect for brunettes or women with autumn coloring) in limited sizes. It’s currently 40% off. Get it when you shop online at Proms to Beaches. They have lots and lots of formal prom dresses and cocktail dresses on clearance right now, and they ship worldwide.

Milly is a young and vibrant designer label that launched in 2000. According to New York Magazine, this label has been seen on celebrities like Jessica Simpson, Kristen Davis, Jennifer Aniston, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Cameron Diaz.
This Milly little black polka-dot dress is called the Jacqueline Dress, and it’s on sale right now for half off.

Wear it with this fun Rebecca Minkoff designer handbag, which can be worn 2 ways: over the shoulder or as a clutch with the chain removed.

Buy both when you shop online at Tobi. One of the many things I like about this store is if you decide to buy an item from them at full price and it goes on sale within 30 days, you can request a refund for the difference in price. Tobi ships worldwide.

This coral colored Mori Lee strapless dress really hugs the body.

This beautiful long dress is available when you shop online at The Bridal Shop, which ships worldwide. Buyers in the continental United States pay a flat fee of $12 for shipping. They also have a prom dress sale going on right now, many of which would be appropriate at a formal corporate event or as bridesmaid dresses.

You might notice some new stuff popping up in the categories section (look down and to your right). I’m adding more categories in order to make it easier for you to cruise around this fashion site and find exactly what you’re looking for. It’s a work in progress, and I’ll be tweaking things during the next few days and cataloging older entries.

In the meantime, enjoy browsing through some of the posts I’ve placed in these new categories so far:

Beads and sequins adorn this silver Adrianna Papell chiffon dress.

I especially like the soft, feminine look the pleated bodice coupled with the transparent sleeves give this formal dress.

Wear it with these silver Antonio Melani leather peep-toe heels.

Both are available when you shop online at at Dillard’s, which ships to the United States.

Fashionista Friday is the new weekly segment where I highlight fashion sites that you’ll want to add to your favorite places or your feed reader, or just read through on a day you’re looking for something to do.

Since I’m calling it Fashionista Friday, it seems appropriate to start out with the site, fashionista.com. Fashionista.com describes itself as “an online explosion of personalities, companies, events and trends that shape the fashion universe.”
A couple of sample posts:
Britt talks about whether or not you should buy items your friends already own: “I was immediately brought back to tenth grade lunch where my best once friend proclaimed ownership of Abercrombie and Fitch. Whether friend or foe, if you showed up with so much as a moose in the corner of your top, you were shot death stares until the 3 o’clock bell.”
And Natalie brings our attention to Gwyneth Paltrow’s love of foot-crippling, but oh-so-pretty, super high heels: “Selfridges is happy to report a 35% rise in sales of sky-high heels since Gwyneth’s made walking in 7-inch platforms look like a daily treat.”
This site appears to be written by people who live in New York, so they are immersed in the New York fashion scene.

This incredibly inexpensive luxurious black ruffle top would dress up any occasion.

It’s less than $30 and comes in sizes 4 through 20. Ruffles are *in* right now, and black never goes out of style.
Get it when you shop online at Metro Style, which ships to the United States and its territories. They have petite clothing, tall clothing, and clothing sale sections, too.

The classic design and red carpet color of this long red formal dress are worthy of a celebrity.

But you don’t have to be a celebrity to buy it or to afford it when you shop for formal dresses online at loralie.com. It’s currently under $200 and comes in sizes 2 through 16.
Loralie ships worldwide. For even more bargains, see their sale rack.
