Friday Frocks: Little White Dress

By |January 14th, 2011|Friday Frocks|

We all have been schooled in the LBD (Little Black Dress), but since I’ve been spending lots (by lots I mean excessive amounts) of time on wedding blogs, I’ve noticed an ever growing trend.  While many women opt for the traditional bridal gown, many are choosing something shorter, more fun, and less conventional for the walk down the aisle.  Can’t lie, I absolutely love a poofy white dress… but I still went the traditional route.  Hm, though there is nothing wrong with a costume change…

Friday Frocks: Dress the Part

By |December 24th, 2010|Friday Frocks|

If there’s one theme we should all be able to get behind, it’s gotta be the beautiful holly berry red of Christmas.  You can totally pull it off without looking absolutely ridiculous and it’s a hell of a lot better than those wretched “ugly Christmas sweater” parties. (Who thinks- better yet participates- in such things?) Anyway, why not get into the holiday spirit by slipping into something that would make even Santa smile? Besides, you’ve gotta find something to put on with those cherry red lips.

To that, I promised that this week’s Friday Frocks would be dedicated to her.  You don’t have to spend a billion dollars to look like a million bucks. Here are ten dresses certain to have you sparkling and shining at any upcoming holiday party- and here’s the kicker- they’re all under $100!!! Your wallet says, “thank you.”

Friday Frocks: Swan Song

By |December 3rd, 2010|Friday Frocks|

This may be one of my favorite Friday Frocks to date. I have a personal obsession with all things ballet related seeing as I was two pom-poms away from trading in college career for a blistered toed career of ballet (there’s a reason I love Center Stage). Needless to say, I can’t wait to see this movie (I’m aware it’s no Nutcracker).  So if you are looking to channel your inner inner prima ballerina, try on these frilly frocks. I don’t recommend losing the 20+ pounds that Mila and Natalie lost for the film, but slipping into something dainty will certainly have you feeling like doing pirouettes in your Loubous.
