D&G

I think I’ve already said that I’ve had it with the winter and that I so cannot wait to return to wearing color again. And because I am about to embark on a way overdue vacation in less than a week all that’s going through my head is what to pack. Shopbop pretty much is my wardrobe dream come true. They are starting to get in all the latest spring 2011 arrivals and I’m lusting after all those pretty colorful dresses that have been added lately. Check out my top 9 picks and let me know which one is your favorite.

I’m not sure what I like best about Ashley Greene in this golden yellow D&G Strapless Silk-Satin Dress. The hot bod? The legs? The shiny hair? The heels? A combination of pattern and color that almost feels like leopard print? OK, this is futile. Let’s just tick all of the above and consider it done. Some people have a hard time wearing yellow. Ashley is apparently not one of them.

Real vs. Steal – D&G Silk Bustier Dress

by Celine on February 18, 2010

What better way to celebrate the annual recurrence of Spring then with the lightest, sweetest, airiest of frocks? As our celebrities artfully demonstrate below, this D&G dress can be dressed up with cute, lady-like shoes or dressed down with chunky platforms and a chain belt. Unfortunately, as versatile as this dress may be, it is also seriously out of our price range (even at its sale price!).

ABS by Allen Schwartz Short Butterfly Dress

Fortunately for us, there exists a designer like Allen Schwartz who has long been in the market of re-creating celebrity dresses. Their “Butterfly” dress is a near-perfect copy of its much more expensive cousin. The dress is white rather than ballerina-pink, but the beautiful shirred bodice and floaty chiffon skirt tell the same whimsical story as the original – and at a much nicer price.

White lace is not an easy thing to wear if you’re past age 12 and not a bride, but in this demure but tarty dress by D&G, Nicole Richie proves that it can be done. And her black heels and clutch keep the look modern and not-too-sweet.

Our Rating: ★★★★½

Who?Nicole Richie
Where?2006 Los Angeles Film Festival Opening Night
When?Jun 22, 2006
What?D&G Spring 2006 lace dress

Blaque Label “Sloan” Lace Dress

Replicate Nicole’s look this spring with an ultra-girlie lace dress by Blaque Label. This dress—a bargain at $148—is more versatile than you might think. Of course, it can be worn on its own in warmer months with any accent color you’d like. But you can also throw a blazer or trench over it, add some black tights and booties, and wear it well before the Easter candy starts showing up in your local store.
