Formalwear from Amazon

I love amazon.com.  It’s like a replicator on Star Trek – pretty much anything you want, you can get it there.  (Star Trek replicators are those computer thingies that fabricate items on the spot; not to be confused with Stargate Atlantis replicators, which are not-very-friendly machine people.)
The point of all this rambling is that amazon.com sells pretty much [...]

Evening Wear + Pockets = I Want That!

The way the seams are done on this Ralph Lauren dress is very figure-flattering.  Notice the hand?  I love the fact that an evening dress has pockets!  More people should make evening wear with pockets.

This dress looks nice paired with black hose.  Black tights and hose are a current fashion trend, so pick up a [...]

Sexy Gray Cocktail Dress

Put grays in all shades, from metallic to charcoal, on your shopping list this season.  I love the knot detail at the hem of this sexy Marciano cocktail dress.

The back has criss-cross straps and a ruched seam (translation:  only buy this if you have a really cute butt to begin with).

Ohmygosh, Cute!

I don’t know why, but I love polka-dots.  They just make me happy.  This absolutely adorable Donna Morgan dress is available at Barrie Pace.  The dress is taffeta, and the polka-dots are flocked velvet.  But my favorite thing about the description:  bra-friendly (always a plus).

Look for dresses in jewel tones this season, like this one [...]

Statement Jacket

The statement jacket is a must-have this season.  So make a statement in this elegant, metallic Giorgio Armani Jacket available at Bergdorf Goodman.

(Of course, that statement might be, “I have $4,000 to spend on a jacket.”)
