To fishtail?

I have yet to find the perfect long dress...I love the prints on this Tibi dress.  But what about the fishtail hem?  Even though my prom dress had a fishtail hem, I'm not a huge fan of the short in front and long in back.  If a dress does have a fishtail hem, I feel like it should be dramatic like a big bright tropical fish.  The hem on "Great Expectations" dress is more reminiscent of a muddy catfish.  At RueLaLa for 179.

Navy and Blue Optical Illusion


Every designer is jumping on the Herve Leger-fueled bandage dress bandwagon.  Often though, these dresses aren't flattering to the stomach (abs?!) because the wrapped fabric accentuates every bump.  Right now on Rue La La is Tadashi Shoji...this label's bandage dresses use color and design to artfully avoid unflattering silhouettes (although the turquoise colored dress isn't a bandage dress, I love the lines that will make any body curvy.)  Although the first dress is technically blavy, I've gotten over my fear of mixing black and navy and love the sometimes subtle combo.

Bold Black and White

I love bright colors and prints (although I can be pretty picky about prints), but I often revert to classic black and white.  The strong lines of this BCBG dress AND the black and white make this dress super fine.  Although I can't tell from the picture of the bitty model, I think the dress's design will flatter most body types.  Check out the rest of the BCBG dresses on ideeli today!

Bringing Sexy Back...

Because of my Sex and City education, I don't really mind when a bra shows through a backless dress/top. I love this slinky Alice and Olivia dress, the back is vavooom!





Love this too!

Fruity Cocktail


Last week, I came across this dress and fell in love with it. It has a fruity, fun, outgoing feel to it. I recently read that one shoulder is going to be big this spring and summer and I felt this dress was a perfect representation of that. The back is gorgeous, I think backs are sexy, in a classy way of course. The cut is fun and looks flattering for many body types, the high waist and the looseness of the skirt. The only bad thing about this dress is the fabric looks like it has a little too much brown, the vibrant colors look so fun and the large patches of brown seem to dampen that fun.
