Hope:
I was wondering if you knew where to find the little black dress Tila Tequila wore on the season finale of “Shot at Love”?
Perla

Tila’s exact dress is hard to find, though I have found some alternatives that I think you’ll like.
If your budget allows, head over to eLUXURY and purchase Zac Posen’s ‘Runway Nationale’ dress. […]

These sequin mini dresses — one by Tibi, one by Alexandra Dillon for Victoria’s Secret — are two super stylish ways to wear sequins. And while from a distance these daring dresses look almost identical (except in colour), there are some distinct differences of which to take note. 
Tibi’s t-shirt dress is 100% silk, so its sequins stand out and […]

‘V’ stands for many things, for being vibrant and vivacious, and this v-neck dress is that and more.
An embellished v-neck accenting a perfectly tiered laser cut dress, this blue grey confection from BCBGMAXAZRIA is suited so well for ringing in 2008.
Though tiers don’t always flatter every figure, they work well with this design, married to a lean cut and […]

What first caught my eye about this gorgeous Celine number was its tangy tangerine colouring.
I also took note of the cut-out details that make an otherwise simple jersey dress turn total avant garde. Add to that a tie/buckle combination that makes the dress work appropriate for day and night, and you’ve got yourself an easy outfit that’s […]

This patterned tunic is atypical of Missoni’s famous zigzag prints, but, if you look closely you can see it’s still their trademark, quality knitwear.
An update on pieces from the 60s and 70s, this M Missoni tunic fits like a glove, falls mid-thigh, and features flattering cap sleeves.
Add to the equation your favourite cigarette pants and a […]

I find that many women who attend holiday soirees choose to dress in safe colours, like black, red, –
Gold.
So I was thrilled when I came across this silk taffeta dress, discounted on J.Crew.com. Ballet-inspired with a front and back scoop-neck, a fitted bodice, and shirred skirt, this dress is absolutely darling.
I’m especially impressed with the hidden side […]

It’s ironic how someone so eccentric can design dresses so classic and elegant, but it just proves that fashion truly is Betsey Johnson’s forte. Her awareness of self is so obvious in each of her creations; she doesn’t follow trends or design clothing that’s stylish for 5 seconds or less. She designs what she loves, […]

I love idea of triple-tiering a party dress, for three times the fun. I used to think tiered dresses wore like a bad ’80s prom outfit, but recently I’ve been getting used to the idea an updated tiered dress for ‘07. In fact, I’ve grown rather fond of the idea.
LOVE the silk gazar of MINT […]

Fuchsia’s never been my favourite colour, nor is it one that I’ve frequently worn anytime since…
Grade two.
But this sweet sweetheart neckline dress by Stella McCartney is calling my name. I love the idea of clothing that accents a woman’s natural waist, and this dress does just that, and more.
Featuring a full pleated skirt with gathers, a […]

Everyone who knows me knows I’m all about Target’s GO Designer collections: First Stella, then Proenza Schouler, now Alice Temperley.
I’ve loved Temperley’s whimsical designs since I first discovered them on Net-A-Porter, and now that she’s designing for girls on a budget, it’s possible to own the entire — low-cost, high-quality — collection.
Think her GO designs […]

While Vera Wang’s first line for Kohl’s was an enormous success –
thanks in part to convenient store locations, extreme price cuts, and darling designs–
I’m debating whether or not this jersey shift from her Lavender line is worth the full price of $595 at Net-A-Porter.
Wang, one of America’s most sought-after wedding gown designers, originally started producing her Lavender […]
