Dolce & Gabbana

Ever since Scarlett Johansson split from hubby & hottie Ryan Reynolds her style and Wow!-factor has plummeted tremendously. I can’t even remember being mildly excited about any of her red carpet looks this year. But while we give ScarJo time to recollect her sense of style and let her get back to her A game, let’s go back to one of her best red carpet moments in 2010: the green Dolce & Gabbana lace dress which she wore to the MTV Movie Awards last year. So hot! Check out our budget-friendly take on Scarlett’s delicate look below and let us know what you think.

Oh how I loved Olivia Wilde‘s dramatic black floral lace gown by Dolce & Gabbana which she recently wore to the premiere of Cowboys & Aliens. I didn’t think I’d be able to compose a look 4 less of her look, but then I stumbled upon this gorgeous gown by MANGO and though it’d be a great alternative to Olivia’s dress. Shhh, don’t tell anyone, but I think I even prefer the MANGO dress which unfortunately seems not to be available in the US e-shop yet though I can confirm that you can buy it at the UK & European e-shops.

I’ve been looking at this picture of model Nika Lauraitis posing in front of the Barbadian sun for the last few days and I must say I’m slightly obsessed. The editorial called Sweet Reverie (shot by Max Abadian) has been printed in Flare’s May issue and it is outstandingly beautiful, relaxed, dreamy. Definitely one of my favorite editorials of 2010. I’ve been especially smitten with Nika’s delicate white lace dress (hers is by Dolce & Gabbana S/S 2010) which she wears over a black corset here. White lace is undoubtedly tricky to pull off for grown women, but I think I found a couple of great and budget-friendly options which could look – if accessorized right – almost quite as eye-catching as D&G’s lacy number.

How gorgeous are these Dolce & Gabbana slingback wedges? Chances are you’ve probably seen them before – on the fabulous Rumi from Fashiontoast. I find it very easy to fall in love with these darlings. And this is exactly what happened to Rumi; she’s been heavily obsessed with these wedges and has worn them more than a dozen times with jeans, dress, over tights… well, basically with anything. Shortly after she debuted her new shoe obsession on her blog, we have been constantly flooded with requests to find a steal version of these; so, ladies and gentlemen (?), here you go…

UPDATE (06/23/2010): Good news, everyone! Solestruck finally has the JC “Mariel” wedges in stock. Most sizes sizes are still available, so you better hurry and order quickly before they sell out again.

Jeffrey Campbell and his team are paying close attention to the fashion blogosphere and they’re very well aware of the power and influence of our web 2.0 style icons. Hence I wasn’t overly surprised to find out JC came up with an almost identical Dolce & Gabbana knockoff called “Mariel”. These platform wedges are certainly going to sell out in no time, so head on over to Shopbop and get your pair before it’s too late.

I always say that the awesomeness of an article of clothing can be judged by how many talented stylists pull it for their clients to wear. If we go by my thought then the Dolce & Gabbana corset dress is something everyone should run out and buy. Was. Was something we should’ve bought. If you weren’t lucky enough to snag one last spring, it is unfortunately sold out, but read on…

GUESS by Marciano Carmella Corset Dress

For those of you that are subscribing to my above style tip, or perhaps you just love the dress, GUESS by Marciano has created their own version of it. The Carmella dress is slightly more form-fitting, but still features the decorative vertical seams. This detailing is supposed to mimic boning and is extremely figure flattering. Carmella is a ton more affordable and conveniently available now in either white or gold.
