Fashion Looks Put Together by the Pros

Arden B. has so many great items, it was hard to choose which ones to feature.  Another great thing about Arden B. is their Shop By Look pages where they put the looks together for you, and all you have to do is click to order a complete outfit.  Like this one with a pencil […]

Look Slimmer in These Formal Dresses

The white block of color, framed by black, will make you look slimmer when you wear this debut dress:

What else is slimming?  All black.  Like this BenDiLisi dress with silver beading:

Pick up either one of these gorgeous dresses at Debbenhams.  It looks like they ship mainly within the UK, but you can call their helpline (0870 24 […]

Fantastic Cocktail Dress

Okay, can you say super cute??  Love, love, love this black babydoll dress with sequin trim, sheer overlay, and ruffled hem. 

You can purchase this dress at Empire Stores.  They are based in the UK, and, unfortunately, there is no mention of international shipping that I could find on their site.  They have a special section for […]

Pretty in Pink (and Purple)

This style is very popular right now, and the dress below is similar to some of the other dresses I’ve featured on this site.  The thing that makes this one stand out, though, and the reason I chose to feature it is the beautiful print.  A lot of the popular dresses right now are solids; the […]

What to Wear and Not to Wear

Don’t wear this:

I cannot get on board with the whole jacket dress thing.  Do not put your family and friends in the embarrassing position of complimenting you on your jacket and yourself in the awkward position of having to explain to them that it’s not a jacket.  Don’t put yourself through the annoyance of having […]

White Silk and Black Quilt: 2 Divalicious Dresses

This white silk dress with sequined banding is so incredibly cute.  I think I’d ditch the black hose and go with silver shoes, though:

I like the quilted texture on this Marc by Marc Jacobs dress, and the pockets are an added bonus:

Both are available at shopbop.com.  They ship to over 50 countries.

If you got to […]

Knit is a Hit with this Dress

I’ve been on the lookout for a knit dress that is dressy enough to feature on this site, since knit is so popular right now.  This one could definitely work in a semi-formal situation with the right accessories.

I’m usually not a fan of big bows at or near the neckline, but the rest of this […]

Silver Sequined Sensation

I think the belt on this BCBG Max Azria dress at Lord & Taylor gives it that extra special something.  I like the contrast of the silky material and the sequined dress.

Try pairing it with a silver clutch or bejeweled shoes:

Lord & Taylor appears to ship only within the United States.

3 Little Black Dresses from Chick Downtown

This very cute little black dress by Theory is a blend of wool and viscose with elastane for stretch:

This Diane von Furstenberg piece uses wet-look fabric; I like the way the draping radiates out from the center of the neckline:

This sequined dress by Foley has faux snakeskin trim along the neckline:

Pair it with a snakeskin […]
