Try in 2012: Retro Style Dresses

Laura — Mon, 09 Jan 2012 17:00:01 +0000

Most of you have probably resolved to lose weight for 2012, and while that’s a viable and honorable commitment, I want to also encourage you to explore the option of finding figure flattering clothes that make you feel sexy and confident in the skin you’re in. And the best place to start this experiment is with vintage dresses.

According to favorite fashion blog Refinery29, Rockabilly Beauty is going to be huge for 2012. Cut to hug curves and accentuate all those special things that make a woman feel like a woman, rockabilly, vintage and retro inspired dresses are flattering on any and all figures. Don’t hide your body behind baggy sacks and loads of layers. Give this style of classic fashion a chance in your wardrobe.

One of the places I highly recommend you explore for these types of dresses is Stop Staring. From little black dresses to swing dresses to show-stopping cocktail dresses, you’ll find all kinds of colors and prints available in sizes extra small to 3X. After all, women come in all shapes and sizes, and Stop Staring is ready to accommodate. To shop cute rockabilly and retro dresses go to www.stopstaringclothing.com.

Navy was the color of the night at last night’s Emmy Awards. I loved it. Last fall is when I started falling in love with navy as a replacement for black. My love continues even more after seeing all those gorgeous dresses in navy. So if you have plans to hit a dressy event soon, consider going with navy. It’s so stylish and unexpected.

Hot Trends for Fall Dresses

Laura — Wed, 21 Jul 2010 16:00:28 +0000

If you haven’t guessed by now, I am a total dress diva. I love a good dress. It is the perfect way for me to express my femininity and show off my girlish curves. And dresses allow women to be so versatile. We can look posh and work chic, trendy and sexy or bold and punk. Any fashion statement can be accomplished via one good dress.

So I turned to one of my favorite retailers, Bluefly, for advice on what hot dress trends I need to keep in mind for Fall 2010. Sandy Sahn, Bluefly’s Dress buyer, was happy to help me out. ”Dresses have become such an important category. After the sportswear-obsessed ’70s and the power-look-driven ’80s and ’90s, women are embracing the no-stress dress,” says Sahn. “It’s the idea of putting on one garment, rather than matching a top to pants or a skirt. Throw a dress on and go!” I couldn’t agree with her more.

Sahn advises that we should be all about draping. “Think Grecian-inspired,” she states. Look for flowing fabrics with distinctive colors. She also says we should look for leather sheaths, bold embellished mini dresses and silhouettes with cut-out details. I’m swooning already. It may be 111 degrees here in Las Vegas, but I am daydreaming about Fall!

Here are Sahn’s favorite Fall dresses available at Bluefly now. Happy shopping!

“I’m obsessed with this Wyatt dress in every way— the strong shoulder detail and draping techniques…love, love, LOVE!”

Under $200
“I would live in this every day with leggings — love the back zip detail!”

“In the wise words of Rachel Zoe, ‘I loves me a sequin!’”

Convertible Dresses

You know I love to get a lot of bang out of my hard-earned bucks! And, I love creating my own distinct style. This is why I love convertible apparel. With convertible apparel, you get several looks out of a one fashion piece. And, you can style the piece in such a way that it’s all uniquely you.

Right now I’m ooo-ing and ahh-ing over convertible dresses. I own only one convertible dress: American Apparel’s Le Sac dress. But, I have my heart set on getting more convertible dresses. I put together this layout of many options. I hope you enjoy it, and I hope you’ll give convertible fashion a try. Happy shopping!
