Obsession of the Day – Green Column Gowns

by Irina on November 5, 2011

Today I am absolutely fascinated with green column gowns. Green has always been my favorite color and I’d also always pick a simple column gown over any glitzy and fluffy Cinderella dress. Most of my picks are way beyond my budget (except for the Rachel Pally dress maybe) but that ain’t nothing new with me I guess. Which one is your favorite?

by Irina on August 11, 2011

I can’t believe I haven’t posted a Shopbop wish list for the last 2 months. Time flies! We’re in the last stage of summer and most of us are already looking for fall to cool down a bit. With that in mind I have compiled a wish list with some gorgeous investment pieces which would also double as great transitional pieces. Let me know what you think.

Real vs. Steal – Issa Plunge Front Dress

by Vahni on February 19, 2010

If you’re not familiar with silk jersey dresses by Issa, I’ll let you in on a little secret: they are not only super stylish, they are super comfy. I know, because I have one. So I’m sure Kelly Rowland’s beauteous bright blue Issa is no exception. Issa is ready-to-wear that is easy-to-wear.

Mango Slinky Ruched Front Dress

While $405 for an original Issa is not crazy expensive, even if you have the cash, Kelly Rowland’s blue dress is currently sold out. Luckily, this Mango version can still be had, and for less than a hundred bucks. I told you a secret about the Issa version, and here’s some scoop on Mango’s Slinky Ruched Front Dress: you will wear the hell out of this dress. In winter with tights or boots and a cardi, in summer with a wedge, to a cocktail party with OTT jewelry and a strappy sandal, and even to the office with a hip-length jacket and closed-toe pumps. It is the perfect year-round, dress-of-all-trades. Grab one before they sell out too.
