The Little Black Dress Edit

Little Black Dresses (LBD’s) are a staple in my and most of our wardrobes. They are timeless, elegant and flattering. If you are unsure of what to wear…there is a strong chance you may reach for a LBD. I have a number of LBD’s because there are a variety of occasions on which I may need one and I like to be prepared for any event. I have decided there are four primary categories that will ensure you are prepared for almost any occasion. They are listed below in order from the most to the least dressy.

A CHIC COCKTAIL DRESS

Cinq a Sept has a gorgeous collection of apparel and this Ellette Bustier Midi Dress is a perfect example. The scoop neck bustier design is feminine and flattering while the midi length is super trendy this season. The options are endless for how you can accessorize this…I kept it simple and understated with a J Crew rhinestone necklace and Prada clutch. Available at www.saks.com.

PROFESSIONAL AND POLISHED

In case you receive the call to interview for your dream job…it is essential to have something ready to wear. In lieu of pants or skirts, dresses feel professional and stylish and the same time. I like this tailored Black Halo Jackie O dress because it feels exactly like the name describes…a throwback to something the incredibly fashionable Jackie Onassis would have worn. Available at www.saks.com.

DAYTIME ELEGANCE

Sometimes you need something to wear during the day that is a touch dressy while still showing your fashionable side…maybe a shower or birthday luncheon? This L’Agence Rihanna Crochet Dress is just the right choice. The crochet weave and tassel detail make this dress casual enough for day time while the fitted silhouette and black/nude color combination make it just the right amount of dressy. Available at www.saks.com.

RELAXED AND ROMANTIC

If you happen to receive an invitation for an evening birthday party on a boat or a relaxed garden dinner, a black maxi dress is an excellent choice. The black color makes it chic while the maxi style keeps it nice and relaxed. My favorite this season is the Flynn Skye Bella Maxi Dress…the off-the-shoulder styling and high slit give it a touch of sexiness. Available at www.shopbop.com.

These four categories of LBD’s will ensure you are ready for whatever impromptu event comes your way!

Boho Beach Style

The days are long and the temperatures high, which means it is the perfect time of year to wear the casual and relaxed styles that are made for the season. There is nothing that looks more fabulous than bold and bright embroidery for summer styling. Boho beach style is always a chic look for summer and we are featuring some of our favorite pieces below.

Pretty in Pink

While I like to wear pops of color from time to time, most of my wardrobe staples are in neutral hues. Black, white, ivory…blush. And more blush. Since I am blonde, I tend to look washed out when I wear beige but I love how light neutral colors look and, so, I use pink like a neutral. It is versatile, yet more feminine and flattering than beige. I wear it so often that I often vow to not buy any more pink items. Fortunately for me, pink is a key trend this season and there are a wide selection of beautiful styles this season. I have highlighted a few of my favorites below.

s

This breezy boho blouse by Rebecca Minkoff has a flattering v neckline, open shoulders and pretty crochet details. It is lightweight enough to wear through summer and the silhouette is flirty and fun. I like wearing it with blue or white jeans or shorts. The Mother of Pearl mini tote is such a fun casual bag and is now on sale! The top is available at www.nordstrom.com, and bag is available at www.shopbop.com.

There is no denying that I am a huge fan of Alexis…their pieces are effortlessly fashion forward. The design details, unique fabrications and flattering silhouettes make them one of my favorite designers to wear. I also think that for the quality and design they are well priced. These soft pink pants are ultra glamorous and the top is an understated and luxurious wardrobe basic. Be sure to wear really high heels! Both the top and pant are available at www.revolve.com.

While I live in a tropical paradise, wearing this floral printed Yumi Kim maxi dress instantly makes me feel like I am on vacation. The wrap styling creates a feminine and sexy vibe. This dress tends to run a bit large so consider ordering a size smaller than usual. Available at www.revolve.com

Hope you look Pretty in Pink this Spring!

Bisous,

Rebecca
