I am completely smitten by Liv Tyler‘s Stella McCartney Polka Dot cocktail dress. It is so chic and you don’t need that much to accessorize it, just a sparkly pair of drop earrings, a cute clutch and some classic black pumps. This dress is sexy, but it also leaves a little bit to the imagination with its black sheer sleeves and flirty details around the waist. Can’t wait to wear the look to your next cocktail party? Check out our look for less below!

This dress is why I love Stella McCartney because it totally screams my name. This burgundy fitted peplum dress is 100% and I’d so buy it if my budget would allow such a hefty purchase. Which it does not, unfortunately. Sad,sad me!

The sadness doesn’t last too long though as there are great Stella McCartney look-a-likes by Closet available and just waiting to save my budget! I’m absolutely in love with the blue version of this dress and now I’m debating whether there’s enough room in my wardrobe for yet another blue dress (I have so many now that it’s getting slightly ridiculous!).

HOT DEAL: Use coupon code “GJREG25” to save 25% OFF full price items!

I just got wind of this great deal happening at GoJane right now, so I decided to head over and see what great new stuff they have. That’s when I saw this strapless peplum and totally fell in love with it. It’s one of those dresses that makes you look sexy and elegant and I’m such a sucker for anything purple (though I wouldn’t snagging it in every color). Also, it’s quite irresistible if you have a 25% OFF discount code that marks this dress down to a super cheap $25.87 instead of the regular (and still super very affordable) $34.50!

Diane Kruger always looks amazing. She is one of my very favorite celebs-with-style, because she takes risks, but never takes a look to far. She knows how to push the sartorial envelope and still look sensational instead of like the clothes are wearing her. And the photo below is a fine example. Her LBD is no simple shift, but see how her spiked Louboutins cut the sweetness of that sweetheart neckline and ruffles? That is fashion brilliance.

Lipsy Chain Belt Velvet Cocktail Dress

You can recreate Diane’s look with the Lipsy Chain Belt Velvet Cocktail Dress—for less than $100, mind you. The Lipsy dress has all the details of the Balmain frock…sweetheart neckline, ruffles, chain belt…and at that price, why not give it a go?

Lovely People “Aziza” Studded Pumps

OK, we all die for those spiky Lous. They are almost unrivaled in their creativity and wow-factor. But since a pair of Louboutins is about the cost of a mortgage payment, maybe consider these Lovely People “Aziza” Studded Pumps instead. There are no spikes, but the hardware ensures this pair has the same maybe-I’m-a-good-girl-maybe-I’m-not feeling.
