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?

Celebrity Look 4 Less – Olivia Wilde’s Dolce & Gabbana Floral Lace Gown

by Irina on July 31, 2011

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.

Celebrity Look 4 Less – Megan Fox in Roberto Cavalli

by Celine on March 9, 2010

Megan Fox always looks sexy, whether she’s wearing a pair of jeans and a t-shirt or a dress with a slit up to “there”. For this post we will be addressing the latter. Fox wore a Cavalli stunner to the Transformers 2 premiere in Berlin. It was a beautiful maroon, draped gown and had lovely jeweled detailing at the waist. Paired with that high slit and those 5 inch nude pumps, Megan looked like a million bucks.

ASOS Diamante Hoop Split Front Maxi Dress

It’s not often that a “steal” version comes along that I think surpasses the original, but in this case it’s true. There’s no denying that the Roberto Cavalli dress is a stunner (especially on Ms. Fox), but what real woman is going to feel comfortable wearing a dress with a slit that high? It’s just not practical! ASOS has yet again come to the rescue. I’m really feeling their “Diamante Hoop Split Front Maxi Dress”. The real-world-friendly version of the dress comes in the most delectable, rich colors and the slit isn’t quite as high! Hooray! Best of all the dress is quite modestly priced at less than $80.

In Jessica Biel’s Closet – Oscar De La Renta Pleated Duchess Satin Gown

by Irina on September 22, 2009

Back in February Jessica Biel attended the 2009 Vanity Fair Oscar Party looking beautiful in a magenta one shoulder satin gown by Oscar De La Renta which was cinched in with a wide gold belt by the same designer. While I wasn’t a fan of Jessica’s make-up and hair, there’s no denying how stunning she looked in that exquisite, mermaid-esque dress.

In Amy Adams’ Closet – Roland Mouret Galerne Silk Dress

by Irina on July 12, 2009

The enchanting Amy Adams attended the premiere of “Night at the Museum 2: Battle Of The Smithsonian” looking every inch the star she is in Roland Mouret Fall 2009 floor-length dress. We loved the striking contrast between the lavender gown and Amy’s red hair. Very sophisticated!
