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.

Drew Barrymore‘s outfit choices are as unpredictable as is her personality. And while she’s probably not the first who’d come to mind when thinking of a style icon, this outfit here I L.O.V.E. The actress made an appearance on Letterman to promote her newest film “Going The Distance“. Drew looked absolutely amazing in a bronze sequin top by Richard Chai with navy high-waisted Camilla and Marc pants and grey suede Yves Saint Laurent Trib Too pumps. I love how relaxed and glamourous she looks at the same time.

I’m a stalker. I’ll admit it. Luckily for my police record I stalk clothes and not people. It’s still a problem though, as my stalking tends to take up much of my day. Every once in a while, however, it really pays off. Case in point: I’ve loved the Nanette Lepore Lovina Dress ever since it first popped up on Shopbop. I’m a huge fan of the contrast between the brightly colored, lightweight, silk fabric and the more masculine black strap and buckled belt. It feels modern and fresh. Sadly, I don’t have $350 to throw around, especially not on something Nanette’s calling a “beach dress”.

Sometimes, my friends, stalking really pays off. I happened to be looking through LuLu*s new arrivals when I came across this Fashion Director dress. I implore you to spot a difference between this dress and the Nanette Lepore original. Can’t do it, can you? I may have to run off and marry Lulu*s (sorry in advance to my fiancé) because they just have the best knockoffs. I still can’t believe this dress is only $56, and you know what? I think I like this marigold color better than the original deep pink! A must have for summer.

Love this Nanette Lepore shirt—erm—dress?—uh—shirtdress. Actually, I take that back. I have issues with this dress. It’s cute and light and lovely for a casual summer evening, yes—but they forgot the “dress” part. And $248 for a long-ish cotton shirt (or half a dress)? Kinda steep. Don’t know about y’all, but I think only Lady Gaga could rock this and not get arrested for indecent exposure.

Alloy “Ella” Shirt Dress

A better choice, for modesty and practicality, is the “Ella” Shirt Dress by Alloy. This is a shirtdress with serious potential. Belt it and add some cognac colored sandals, and it’s an absolute winner. Add leggings and a gladiator heel and go for urban preppy. You could even throw it over a swimsuit when running to/from the pool or beach and look totally pulled together. And for under 50 bucks, plus another 15% off? Ka-ching, baby.

Alloy 3/4 Sleeve Shirt Dress

Another option is this sweet little Alloy 3/4 Sleeve Shirt Dress. With its gathered empire waist and puff-sleeves, there’s no mistaking it for a classic menswear-inspired shirtdress. And like the “Ella” above, it is also extremely affordable, even before the special discount.
