Spring Dresses Inspired By Street Style

Giovanna Battaglia adds a scarf for panache but the sportiness of spring dresses is evident ~ and will look just as good with a pair of wedge booties as some gladiator flats. I’ve scooped this Topshop version in hopes of it becoming my new everyday-in-a-pinch dress for spring. While I’ll undoubtedly sport these with my [...]

The Strapless Dress….For Now & Later

The strapless dress has new life ~ perfect for transitioning into spring with a pretty cropped cardigan but, also for Fall…since Stella McCartney, Dior and others all showed it going from day to night. Could it really be this easy? We already love dresses because they are readymade outfits but, to be on-trend at the [...]

Liking Luscious, Ladylike Leather This Season

Leather is running rampant this season and to keep it sleek and feminine, the runways and concrete walkways are sporting dresses! I’ve combed the ‘net for some fabulous options that will accentuate your curves, create instant edginess, purrrr sexy, and still be wearable for girls night, a museum event, or even dinner with your sweetheart.

Singing A New Tune With This Tun-ic Dress

Singer/songwriter Mollie King of The Saturdays (a British girl group) was seen sporting this and I wanted to share. It’s not that she looks so fabulous or that she’s doing something you can’t ~ I like the look because it’s easy, casual, chic, understated, fun, feminine and versatile. Imagine this on a Saturday stroll thru [...]

Peplum & A Stolen Post

I read lots of blogs everyday and last week I saw a post by Girl with Curves and feel in love with the peplum dress she sported – so here it is! This dress is the epitomy of pretty peplum ~ which means it’s totally feminine ~ and that it’s available through a size 18 [...]

Midweek Style In A Jiffy

I want to look like this on any given Wednesday. This Szeki cap sleeve shirtdress ($118) is effortless, strong, bold, easy, uncomplicated, and would show off my new arms and legs (see my 30-day #BodyReboot). It can be worn as-is for a bit of funk {that’s me!} ~ or with a wide belt and flats for [...]

I love the LBD but right now there’s so much color out there – – – one of my favorite online places, Dorothy Perkins, is featuring 10 fab dresses for $55 including a couple of LBDs and a bit more. My favorite is black and latte panel dress ~ peplums are very feminine, the latte [...]

Weekend Style Want

I imagine sporting this on a hot Saturday afternoon (not too difficult to imagine if you’re in DC….) as I tackle Saturday morning breakfast with a few beauty bloggers then on to afternoon window shopping in Georgetown including midday drinks at The Ritz, and then on to late afternoon bites with some new old friends…..

Doing Prints Right

“Fashion” dictates that anything can be right….but know this, if you show up to an event wearing a yellow floral print top with an orange plaid scarf and a purple striped shoe, you may get the side eye. That said, lots of folks shy away from prints because they think they can’t do it…..just try. [...]

What to Wear To A Concrete Wedding

Wedding season is upon us and if you’re not in the wedding then you’ve got to figure out what you’re wearing. Here’s what to wear to a city wedding ~ that is a wedding that occurs in a city location (at a hotel or museum), typically occurs during the day, and is more about the [...]
