sunny halter dress

2009-05-23T21:26:00.000-07:00

I was browsing through an online store for a feature article I'm writing when I stumbled upon this beauty:

It is am Iliana halter dress by Patagonia. Besides performance sportswear, they make some gorgeous and very wearable dresses as well. Dresses that show off the sporty figure beautifully.

I like the sunny color and the cheery, yet classic pattern of the dress. The pretty band that makes it a flattering empire waist, which matches the halter tie back ribbons make this a stand out.

This is a perfect summer dress for any girl or woman with a toned (or even average) body.

travel dresses

2009-04-24T04:56:00.000-07:00

Going on a summer vacation? Pack in a dress or two. Silk dresses are out because they crumple. You would need to iron those anyway and carrying an iron with you when you travel can be rather cumbersome.

Instead, go for pretty dresses that travel well and look great.

Jersey is a great material for travel. It is easy to care for. Just roll it up and pack it in. Jersey dresses are flattering too. Look at the way they hug your figure flatteringly, showing off your curves beautifully.
If you look great in blue, this jersey dress is for you:

Billabong Junior's Palisades Jersey Dress

Great for cool skin tones.

Here's a very pretty jersey dress in peach. A warm, spring color

V-neck jersey dress

Perfect for warm skin tones.

This jersey travel dress is a beauty. A two-in-one dress. When you travel, less is more. Try to get multipurpose stuff. Like a convertible jersey dress.

Reversible Jersey Knit Dress

This dress can be worn both ways. One side is pink. Wear that one day. Wash it at night. Once it is dry, wear it the other way. You pack in one dress but get the mileage of two dresses. That makes this a fabulous travel dress.

Jersey aside, how about a soft 100% cotton sundress?
This one is a tube sundress for girls who look great in black, with a shot of color.

Roxy sundress

Get these dresses for your summer holiday because they travel well and make you look fabulous.

I'm in love.. with wrap dresses

2009-04-04T20:43:00.000-07:00

My sister in law gave me a wrap dress the other day. An old favourite she no longer wears. When I wore it, my hubby loved it. He said that was the first time he's seen me in something so classy. A man of few words, he rarely ever compliments me.

Since then, I've been looking for wrap dresses. The beauty about the wrap dress is that you tie it to fit your body perfectly. It shows off a woman's curves and is very slimming.

For curvy woman, wrap dresses are a must. You tie it to cinch your waist and flatter your figure.

I've been hunting for wrap dresses. Trench dresses or trench coats worn as dresses are in. But the wrap dress?

Here's what I found online.

Pantagonia wrap dress
I didn't know Pantagonia had such gorgeous dresses. This wrap dress is the perfect little black dress you can even wear for a romantic dinner for two. Yet it is so comfy, made of fabric that wicks away the sweat. The sort you might wear for outdoor activities. It is a must in any woman's wardrobe. Perfect for travel. For anything actually. That dress alone can form the basis of a capsule wardrobe.

Here are even more wrap dresses you might want to browse through and wear.

Little White Dress

2009-03-15T01:17:00.000-07:00

The LBD takes backstage to the emergence of the LWD or the Little White Dress seen on runways throughout the world. Ok, so white isn't slimming like black but it looks great against a tan and stands out from the crowd. So if you can wear white, switch to little white dresses. These are the IN thing for Spring/Summer 2009

Here are 3 gorgeous LWD you should own and wear throughout Summer 2009

Michael Kors Embroidered White Dress

This one is perfect for a garden party. Lady like and pretty and will stand out beautifully against the green lawn and flowers around you. Perfect for a romantic afternoon with your significant other too. Or if you are single, it is perfect for catching the eye of your dream guy.

Red Ballgown - A head turning evening dress

2009-03-14T05:13:00.001-07:00

Rarely do I devote an entire post to just one dress but this one deserves it.

I spent this afternoon going through videos of Spring/Summer 2009 fashion shows and loved the haute couture dresses. Gowns that dreams are made of. The sort every little girl hopes she gets to wear when she grows up, in a fairy tale romance.

Skip the Price Charming. Let's go straight to the gown.

Who do you think designed this stunning evening gown that would make the wearer the belle of the ball? It is the color of red wine. A red evening gown to die for.

Wear it to the prom. To the dinner and dance. To a black tie event. Or to your own wedding dinner. It takes 10-14 working days to prepare, so who do you think designed it?

Halter Dresses -Spring 2009's darling

2009-03-13T07:31:00.001-07:00

For Spring and Summer 2009, show off your shoulders in a halter dress. There is something oh so feminine about halter dresses. From Marilyn Monroe's white halter dress, a classic pinup look that transcends time, to today's halter mini dresses.

Showing off your shoulders is a subtle yet sexy look.

Red Patagonia Halter Dress

- this is a fun take on that little red dress. Hey, the LBD may be a classic but a little red halter dress sizzles. This one is comfy too, and very wearable.

Catherine Malandrino backless halter dress

I love backless dresses and this backless halter dress is stunning. If you have fair skin, milky skin or ebony skin, this dress is a must have because it will make you look absolutely gorgeous. Backless dresses are so glamorous.

Michael Kors Dress

This isn't a typical halter dress but the effect is the same. It shows off the shoulders for a subtle yet sexy effect that is oh so Spring/Summer 2009

Gorgeous Versace Dresses at Spring/Summer 2009 fashion show

2009-03-08T06:03:00.001-07:00

Versace has some of the most gorgeous dresses around. I love the little black dress in the opening number. Like many designers, white dresses are big this season.

Dresses are short. Mini dresses that are sleeveless. The halter top is a popular style this season, showcasing well toned shoulders. Metallics like pale gold or silver are elegant, not tacky.

Bustier dresses are a staple, this season as in previous seasonn..

Dresses skim the body for a more relaxed look. Some are belted for a cinched waist, hourglass effect.

Spring Summer 2008 White Dress

2009-03-02T19:32:00.000-08:00

One thing that stands out on the catwalk for Spring/Summer 2008, is the white dress. Yes, there are plenty of gorgeous gowns, bondage dresses, canary yellow chiffon dresses and the like of these but the white dress is a spring and summer staple.

Why?

A woman in a white dress stands out when she walks through a green field. Spring is green, with flowers blooming everywhere. Summer is hot with bright sunlight and green plants everywhere. White is a color that stands out beautifully in Spring and Summer.

Here is a
Netty white dress is one that will make the wearer stand out beautifully in spring or summer as she walks through fields of greenery.

A bustier dress is downright sexy, yet practical in the sweltering summer heat.

A diva dress is a dress that makes an ordinary woman look extraordinary.

What makes a diva really?

Take any plain girl with a slim enough figure.

Put her in a gorgeous gown that flatters her, make her wear high heel shoes, plenty of bling and assign a great hair and makeup team to transform her. You get a stunning diva.

Or you could do it for yourself. Wear a stunning gown, load on the costume jewelry, the sparkly diamante sort or rhinestones, the highest heels you can find and go for great hair and makeup. You'll certainly turn heads.

This white evening gown will certainly make the wearer look like a diva.

Feminine lace dresses for christmas

2008-12-05T06:10:00.000-08:00

There is something magical about Christmas. The beauty of the season. I can imagine little girls and grown women wanting to look like fairies during the Christmas season.

Ok, fairies with wings might be a but much, but hey what better Christmas party dress could you own than one made of lace.

There is virginal white lace that a bride might wear and there is the sexy black lace that raise temperatures a few notched. Perfect for winter, don't you think.

Actually, Prada's look for the season centers black lace dresses. Gothic style. More bride of Frankenstein than fairy tale princess. Yet sexy and memorable.

Black lace or virginal white? Lace can be sweet and feminine. You know sugary.
On the other hand, lace can be really naughty, like spice.

I suggest you get both. Something sweet for the day, and really naughty for the night.
Like these http://www.buyclothing.net/lacedresses.htm>lace dresses.

Silk Shirt Dresses

2008-10-17T18:32:00.000-07:00

Kate Moss, the epitome of gorgeous fashion sense loves the silk dress. Particularly, the silk shirt dress. It is one of her favourites from her Fall 2008 collection. Wear it with high heel shoes for effortlessly sexy chic.

This easy to wear outfit is perfect for holidays. Put it on and you are all dressed up.

Silk is sensuous. Looks gorgeous. Feels fabulous against the skin. Personally, I absolutely love silk clothes, though I have to save up to afford them. Usually.

Combine the two and you have a winner: A dress that can beat the little black dress as a wardrobe staple. Unless the LBD is a silk shirt dress too.

Here's a silk shirt dress from Ellen Tracey

Ellen Tracy Printed Silk Shirt Dress with Belt
Ellen Tracy updates the classic shirt dress in silk with a modern geometric print in blue, red, and brown.

Black lace dresses

2008-09-14T04:16:00.000-07:00

The little black dress has gone gothic lace, black widow style, for Fall 2008 to Winter 2009. An interesting take on lace by Prada. Incidentally, the designer who did this collection hates lace, yet she did lace in such a way, gothic black lace has taken the world by the storm.

I'd love to have a Prada dress, but can't afford one. Then again, there are gorgeous black lace dresses available, that are ultra sexy, which are at affordable prices.

black lace flamenco dress
This is an example of a gorgeous black lace dress that world turn heads, yet which is very affordable. If you have the figure for it, get it and wear it, before it is all sold out.

This black lace dress is ultra elegant, but comes in one size only :slim and petite.

If you happen to be one of the lucky few who are petite or slim enough, go get it because you will look amazing in it.

Red Evening Gown

2008-09-09T21:26:00.001-07:00

I was browsing around this seasons fashion when I chanced on this gorgeous red gown

Petite Adrianna Papell Red Silk Charmeuse Gown

It is everything I dreamed of since I was a little girl. Back then, I used to sketch pictures of women in my dream dresses and they were all red, long, silky and sexy.

This one is a halter top. There is something about halter tops that guys go gaga over, or so my cousin told me. She knew cos her brother told her. From the side, it looks distracting. In front, if the neckline plunges, well.. you know..

I like the diamante on the band of the empire waist of this dress. The empire waist makes it flattering on women who don't have tiny real waists. For apple shape girls or those with boyish figures, the empire waist cinches where it matters, on the tiniest part of your ribs. It hints at a waist and hinting, to some men, is sexier than blatantly showing off everything.

This dress is for petite women and is currently on sale. Formerly $188.00, now going for $74.97
At the time of this post, there are only 9 left. If your size is still available, grab it before someone else beats you to it.

Sporty Summer Dresses, some of which are made of organic cotton

2008-08-21T02:48:00.001-07:00

As summer is at its peak, is it too late to get a summer dress?
Nah. Okay, so I posted earlier how I hated the summer dresses that make women look pregnant. Pair those dresses with Fall's belts and you have a shapely winner.

I like dresses that are comfy. These skim the figure and are cool and comfy. Just what you need when the sun is blazing hot. Not too late to get them because these are really basics. Wear them as they are this summer. Next summer wear them again with next year's accessories. They are great basics. Chameleons, if you will. You can even layer them in early fall and late spring.

Many of these are from organic cotton which makes these keepers. Did you know how much pesticide goes into the growing of cotton. How much toxins do you expose yourself to when you wear regular cotton clothes, comfortable though they may be.

I think organic cotton is a better choice. Safer for you. Better for the environment, so check out the organic dresses in this list.

Summer to Fall 2008 Black Dresses

2008-07-21T06:50:00.000-07:00

Little black dresses are hot every season and this time around, the cut is absolutely sexy. At least, this DKNY LBD certainly is.

Patagonia Women's Vitaliti Strappy Dress
This has got to be the most practical little black dress ever!

You know what? Get all 3 dresses if they still have them in your size because a woman can never have too many little black dresses and these 3 black dresses will insure you against those "I've got nothing to wear" days.

Safari dresses

2008-06-28T23:02:00.000-07:00

The lastest summer dresses are girly and frilly and floaty. Most of them anyway. Except for the classic safari dress, the shirt dress.

For the safari look, earth tones abound. This is the time girls with golden skin and those who look better in earthy shades should do their shopping. Not just the shirt dresses alone. Virtually everything from tops, to skirts to pants to shorts in khaki, white, browns and earthy shades are everywhere, and no longer just in linen and rugged fabrics. These come in silk and satin too.

Summer and sizzling heat go hand in hand. Bright sunlight make safari colors and brights look best.

Here's a khaki shirt dress that depicts the current trend perfectly. Pity it comes in only one size for thin girls.

Cuffed Sleeve Shirtdress White / One Size
By the way, if you can wear those one size fits all dresses for slimmer figures, get that dress. It is a classic and a steal.
