ASOS Wish List – October 2011

by Irina on October 17, 2011

So I think I’ve already mentioned that I am slightly obsessed with ASOS? For the last 6 months no month has passed without me not ordering at least once. I often even managed to order there on a bi-weekly basis (ASOS offers FREE SHIPPING so no need to worry about shipping costs). I have a wish list there which must be about a mile long and below you can see a few of my favorite highlights, some of them which are sure to land in my cart sooner or later. Enjoy!

When I shop for dresses I often end up with a new sheath dress in my cart. I have so many pencil dresses now it’s almost ridiculous. But I just can’t help it; these type of dresses suit my body shape the best. Baggy dresses look absolutely horrible on me and babydoll dresses are just not my cup of tea. However it’s tough sometimes with so many sheath dresses in your wardrobe because a sheath looks always quite dressy and you can hardly go for a casual look if you put on a pencil dress. Not that I would mind too much though because I prefer to be over- than underdressed any time. Look at this stunningly beautiful sheath by Roland Mouret for example. It’s perfection! How am I supposed to ever stay away from these kinds of dresses? Simply impossible.

I love Black Halo dresses but who doesn’t? They are so elegant, so chic and timeless – great investment pieces! Unfortunately not everyone can invest $349 in a dress because they have silly stuff to pay like rent and food and mortgages. However, even at these prices Black Halo creations sell like hot cakes.

Celebrities Love Black Halo

Black Halo has always been very popular among celebrities, but this ruffled pencil dress was a must-have. I seriously lost count on how many celebrities have already been spotted in this dress. Taraji P. Henson was the first to sport one in black, then came Debra Messing and from then on the rest followed.

Hybrid Dress with Deep V Neck and Frill Sleeves

UPDATE (10/03/2011): Woohoo, look at these amazing Black Halo look-a-like dresses by Hybrid. You’ll get the same look for less than half the price. Love the rich plum version!

ChicStar Ruffle Sleeves Cotton Pencil Dress

If you like Black Halo’s sheath dress, but can’t spend $300+ on a dress, try this knockoff version by ChicStar. It might not be as delicate as the original, but you can’t beat the price of $34.95 (1/10!). The Black Halo knockoff dress comes in either blue or black and would make a great wear-to-work dress, don’t you think?

I’ve grown quite fond of red dresses. So much that I own about 5 of them. There’s no need to shy away from this color and it flatters almost everyone (might be a bit tricky on redheads but not overly so)! Check out Mila Kunis wearing a stunning red Versace frock which she paired with nude patent Jimmy Choos. Sexy yet classy. Exactly how I like my red! What do you think of Mila’s look?
