For dresses I tend to stick to classic, streamlined silhouettes. I like dresses that accentuate a woman’s body rather than hide it under layers of fabric or baggy shapes. That’s why I’m madly in love with these sleek one shoulder dresses by LuLu*s. I love both colors and at $38 only you could contemplate picking up both!

I’ve heard tell that color is huge this spring/summer (but I mean, really, when is it not?) and everything I’ve seen in the fashion mags/internet blogs has confirmed as much. Tis the year of color, my friends, and who better to interpret that trend than Rebecca Taylor. She is the queen of whimsical, feminine silhouettes and soft, draped fabrics. Taylor’s Asymmetrical Occasion Dress is right on trend with a ruffle-trimmed one-shoulder neckline and bright & playful tangerine color. It is the perfect dress for those summer evening parties. But (and you knew this was coming) it’s fairly pricey at $325.

UPDATE (04/05/2011): Found another great Rebecca Taylor alternative in blue by Eliza J for about half the price of the original.

LuLu*s has really become one of our top go-to retail sites for designer-inspired clothing and this is why. Their Divine Approval dress is a great knockoff of the Rebecca Taylor number above. I can already tell this delectable coral color will look smashing with a tan, but for those of you who favor the cooler end of the spectrum, they also have an emerald color available. But really, for $33, why not just pick up both?

How come that whenever I see Kristen Stewart hitting the red carpet it seems like she’s the unhappiest person in the world? I mean, I get that she’s the kind of celebrity who is very protective of her privacy, but c’mon, when you’re walking the red carpet it is an official event, so please put on a nice smile and let us mortals envy you in your super fancy and expensive Valentino dress and to-die-for Brian Atwood satin pumps. Too bad KStew rarely smiles because she’s amazingly pretty when she’s not wearing her grumpy face.

Oh how I adore, kute & kurvaceaous Kim Kardashian! I’m gonna guess that she never leaves home without her black American Express card. But I know for sure, she NEVER walks the red carpet without these three things: false eyelashes, heels and an article of clothing to hug her infamous curves! So if you have the skin tone to pull off this salmon colored body-hugger, then follow her lead. Swim upstream and check out this entire look for less!

How yummy—and flattering—are these color-saturated frocks by French Connection? No wonder why the Fast Bonny Cotton Dress took the fast-track to celebrity favorite. It’s sassy, sexy, and so easy-to-wear.

Although the French Connection Fast Bonny dress is a relative bargain at under $150, there is still a deal to be had. Check out LuLu*s On Broadway Dress, which is virtually a dead-ringer with its banded waist and bow-topped one-shoulder bodice—but only $48! Oh yes, we’re good. We’re very good.
