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.

Holiday season is upon us. After we finish gorging ourselves on turkey and pie during Thanksgiving, it’s full speed ahead to Hannukah, Christmas, Holiday parties, and New Years.

Friday Frocks: Belt It Out

By |November 12th, 2010|Friday Frocks, Why Did You Wear That?|

If you aren’t feeling as daring as a body con dress (or you’d just like to be able to enjoy your $200 dinner at The Little Door), have no fear. I have an alternate option! A belted dress will still whittle your waist all while giving you a little room to breath (and eat). Try these options tonight!

Friday Frocks: Blushing Beauty

By |November 5th, 2010|Friday Frocks, Why Did You Wear That?|

I just can’t get enough of this muted pastel color. I love muted colors to begin with, but this shade is really just so pretty and flattering on everyone. It’s a much more user friendly tone than nude. Blush is a feminine and chic shade that will have all the boys swooning. (Lady Malks, this one’s for you):

Herve Leger Signature Essentials Short Sleeve Cocktail Dress, $1,450

Preen Line Elsa Silk-Satin and Jersey Dress, $630

Make ’em blush!
