My Picks: Elegant Little Black Dresses

Posted in Women's Apparel | 1 comment

Holidays… and the party season is here again. There something really frenzied in the air when November is about to end and December is fast approaching. A lot is on my mind. My Christmas gift shopping, decorating the house, our Christmas dinner menu, schedules- I mean party schedules.

And that doesn’t end there. One has to think about what to wear on numerous parties you have to attend. And a girl has to prep for that, right? For others, tanning lotions are not enough but a visit to a tanning salon is a must, a body scrub, waxing etc,etc. Sigh! I’m beginning to wonder if hubby is right, being a woman is indeed complicated. Lol!

I’m pretty sure one of the things ladies out there are getting frantic about is what to wear for parties. Well, I put together some of the latest little black dresses you might wanna grab. I love little black dresses, they are easy to accessorize and you can change the total look just as easily.

Elegantly Sexy Vern Dress

Posted in Women's Apparel | 6 comments

Classic, elegant. Definitely for the chic, modern woman. That’s how I’d describe Diane von Furstenberg’s Vern Dress. It’s subtly sexy yet manages to still be elegant.

Wrap dresses are never out of style and this one comes with some really nice details – cap-sleeves, folds at the shawl collar, a tie on the waist, pleating at shoulders and front and ruching at back. I love this especially the one in dusty magenta color. Want it? It’s available at ShopBop for $375.
