I’m a sucker for white dresses. They are just perfect for summer and you’ll get an instant mood lift just from looking at them. When I first discovered this Marc by Marc Jacobs tiered halterneck dress I was madly in love.

We all first saw this dress on Blair Waldorf (aka Leighton Meester) in an episode of Gossip Girl called “Summer Kind Of Wonderful“. Leighton looked absolutely amazing and until today this look belongs in my top 3 of all her Gossip Girl outfits. Paris Hilton came second and British soap star Emma Rigby has worn this beautiful dress as well.

BB Dakota “The Sassy Dress”

I’v been looking for ages to find a knockoff dress of the Joelle dress and finally found it then on The Look 4 Less, but at the time I tried to place my order, it was already sold out. However, weeks later I now found the same dress on Karmaloop for $75. The BB Dakota knockoff dress might be missing the cute front-bow, but otherwise both dresses are practically identical.

To save even further, enter promo code TWIZZLER at checkout and you’ll get 15% OFF your order of $75 or more AND free shipping. Talk about a great deal!

I remember the time when I first discovered the Hervé Léger brand. That was back in 2007 when the bandage dresses weren’t so overexposed on the red carpet. I was so smitten with the whole Spring 2008 collection, I used to browse the Hervé Léger website for hours just staring at all the beautiful dresses which looked like they’ve been sprayed on the model’s impeccable body.

The white dress below used to be my absolute favorite. The crisp white color and the hourglass shape made it simply irresistible.

One year ago a fresh-faced Keira Knightley attended a photocall for her film “The Edge of Love” in Edinburgh wearing a cute floral printed blouse from Topshop (£35) which had a black contrasting collar and ruffled bib. Keira paired her Topshop blouse with a black high-waisted pencil skirt and matching black lace-up booties.

I love this look on Keira, she looks so healthy and happy and her outfit is young and fun, it would make a great wear-to-work ensemble.
