Polka-Dot Chic, Dress for Spring

The elegance of a black cocktail dress and the playfulness of polka-dots combine to make a great springtime dress in this pretty print from Frederick’s of Hollywood.  Great for a night out or for those days when you just want to look your best.

It’s Simple, It’s Trendy, It’s the Cardigan Sweater You Always Wanted

It looks nice in the blue and the red as well, but I think the yellow dress with blue accents is the prettiest of all the color choices.

Don’t Get Caught In A Pinch: Bebe Helps You Stock Up On Green Before St. Patty’s

Why does it take five Irishmen to change a lightbulb?One to change the bulb.
Four to remark about how grand the old bulb was.
Haha.  Just a little Irish humor for you in preparation for St. Patrick’s Day.  And speaking of preparing for St. Patty’s, better buy something green now.  You don’t want to be rummaging through your closet on the [...]

Purple Piping is Perfect Accent for Pretty Gray Blouse

The purple piping is such a great detail on this gray blouse.  It’s around the cuff as well, although it’s hard to see that in this photo.

This is one of those pieces of clothing that looks refined without making it look you’re trying too hard to look refined — know what I mean?
It’s currently on sale at [...]

Another Great Betsey Johnson Dress

Okay, I know I just did a post about Betsey Johnson designer dresses not too long ago, and I wasn’t planning on doing another one so soon, but I saw this dress, and it was just too cute not to feature.

Winnie Couture: Fashion At Its Most Feminine

Normally I concentrate on clothes available online.  Even though I couldn’t find these Winnie Couture dresses for sale online, I decided to feature them anyway because 1) they’re cute, 2) the photo presentation is exceptional, and 3) Winnie Couture has stores worldwide, so hopefully, if you find a dress you really like, you can find a shop near your area.
