Dress of the Day – ASOS Metallic Wrap Dress

by Irina on September 21, 2011

HOT DEAL: Use promo code “SHOPLFW” to get 20% OFF your order! Ends 09/21.

Sigh! 2 ASOS orders in one day! Even for an ASOS fanatic like me this is a first! When I made my first order earlier today because of the current 20% OFF promo I was heavily debating whether to buy this metallic wrap dress or not; though at that time it was only available in copper and I wasn’t too fond of the color. Then a few hours later this beautiful cobalt blue version popped up on the website and it was love at first sight! So I decided to order a second time today as long as the promo code was still working. And that’s the story of how and why I ordered at ASOS twice a day! ;-)

Real vs. Steal – Reem Acra Resort 2010 Satin Jersey Wrap Dress

by Celine on March 6, 2010

Every woman needs that perfect dress in her closet; the dress that hugs in the right places and flows away in the wrong ones. I know generally this is a little black dress but I’m going to argue that a dash of color, on the contrary, is what will really get you noticed. Reem Acra started out as a bridal gown designer back in 1997 but eventually branched out – and perfected – the red carpet dress. Acra’s experience designing for women’s bodies is clearly evident in this satin jersey wrap dress from her Resort 2010 collection. Exquisitely draped with that aforementioned pop of color, this dress was made to flatter a woman’s body.

ABS by Allen Schwartz Crossover Pleated Dress

Now don’t get me wrong: I adore the ocean blue hue of the Reem Acra Satin Jersey Dress, above, however how delicious is the steel blue (cornflower blue?) of our ABS by Allen Schwartz knock-off? It is precisely that inability to pinpoint the shade that really renders this dress so captivating. We’re missing some of the Grecian draping of the original, but I can picture this color looking outrageously good on a whole spectrum of skin tones. Still a bit pricey at $320, but this dress is guaranteed to be your go-to frock for all fancy occasions.

by Irina on November 20, 2009

You know what I love? Seeing celebrities rocking inexpensive fashion and wearing something a normal budgeted human being can actually afford. Audrina Patridge attended US Weekly’s Hot Hollywood 2009 Party yesterday looking great and fresh-faced in a silver wrap dress from Rachel Roy’s diffusion line for Macy’s called Rachel Rachel Roy. Audrina completed her look with matching arm bling, sleek hair and grey YSL Tribtoo slingbacks.
