sunny halter dress

I was browsing through an online store for a feature article I'm writing when I stumbled upon this beauty:






It is am Iliana halter dress by Patagonia. Besides performance sportswear, they make some gorgeous and very wearable dresses as well. Dresses that show off the sporty figure beautifully.

I like the sunny color and the cheery, yet classic pattern of the dress. The pretty band that makes it a flattering empire waist, which matches the halter tie back ribbons make this a stand out.

This is a perfect summer dress for any girl or woman with a toned (or even average) body.

travel dresses

Going on a summer vacation? Pack in a dress or two. Silk dresses are out because they crumple. You would need to iron those anyway and carrying an iron with you when you travel can be rather cumbersome.

Instead, go for pretty dresses that travel well and look great.

Jersey is a great material for travel. It is easy to care for. Just roll it up and pack it in. Jersey dresses are flattering too. Look at the way they hug your figure flatteringly, showing off your curves beautifully.
If you look great in blue, this jersey dress is for you:


Billabong Junior's Palisades Jersey Dress


Great for cool skin tones.

Here's a very pretty jersey dress in peach. A warm, spring color


V-neck jersey dress


Perfect for warm skin tones.

This jersey travel dress is a beauty. A two-in-one dress. When you travel, less is more. Try to get multipurpose stuff. Like a convertible jersey dress.



Reversible Jersey Knit Dress


This dress can be worn both ways. One side is pink. Wear that one day. Wash it at night. Once it is dry, wear it the other way. You pack in one dress but get the mileage of two dresses. That makes this a fabulous travel dress.


Jersey aside, how about a soft 100% cotton sundress?
This one is a tube sundress for girls who look great in black, with a shot of color.



Roxy sundress





Get these dresses for your summer holiday because they travel well and make you look fabulous.

I'm in love.. with wrap dresses

My sister in law gave me a wrap dress the other day. An old favourite she no longer wears. When I wore it, my hubby loved it. He said that was the first time he's seen me in something so classy. A man of few words, he rarely ever compliments me.

Since then, I've been looking for wrap dresses. The beauty about the wrap dress is that you tie it to fit your body perfectly. It shows off a woman's curves and is very slimming.

For curvy woman, wrap dresses are a must. You tie it to cinch your waist and flatter your figure.

I've been hunting for wrap dresses. Trench dresses or trench coats worn as dresses are in. But the wrap dress?

Here's what I found online.


Pantagonia wrap dress

I didn't know Pantagonia had such gorgeous dresses. This wrap dress is the perfect little black dress you can even wear for a romantic dinner for two. Yet it is so comfy, made of fabric that wicks away the sweat. The sort you might wear for outdoor activities. It is a must in any woman's wardrobe. Perfect for travel. For anything actually. That dress alone can form the basis of a capsule wardrobe.

Here are even more wrap dresses you might want to browse through and wear.

Get seriously gorgeous with wrap dresses. Bookmark this price comparison on wrap dresses and browse through at your leisure. It is updated weekly.

Red Ballgown - A head turning evening dress

Rarely do I devote an entire post to just one dress but this one deserves it.

I spent this afternoon going through videos of Spring/Summer 2009 fashion shows and loved the haute couture dresses. Gowns that dreams are made of. The sort every little girl hopes she gets to wear when she grows up, in a fairy tale romance.

Skip the Price Charming. Let's go straight to the gown.


Who do you think designed this stunning evening gown that would make the wearer the belle of the ball? It is the color of red wine. A red evening gown to die for.

Wear it to the prom. To the dinner and dance. To a black tie event. Or to your own wedding dinner. It takes 10-14 working days to prepare, so who do you think designed it?

Halter Dresses -Spring 2009's darling

For Spring and Summer 2009, show off your shoulders in a halter dress. There is something oh so feminine about halter dresses. From Marilyn Monroe's white halter dress, a classic pinup look that transcends time, to today's halter mini dresses.

Showing off your shoulders is a subtle yet sexy look.


Red Patagonia Halter Dress

- this is a fun take on that little red dress. Hey, the LBD may be a classic but a little red halter dress sizzles. This one is comfy too, and very wearable.



Catherine Malandrino backless halter dress


I love backless dresses and this backless halter dress is stunning. If you have fair skin, milky skin or ebony skin, this dress is a must have because it will make you look absolutely gorgeous. Backless dresses are so glamorous.





Michael Kors Dress


This isn't a typical halter dress but the effect is the same. It shows off the shoulders for a subtle yet sexy effect that is oh so Spring/Summer 2009

Gorgeous Versace Dresses at Spring/Summer 2009 fashion show



Versace has some of the most gorgeous dresses around. I love the little black dress in the opening number. Like many designers, white dresses are big this season.

Dresses are short. Mini dresses that are sleeveless. The halter top is a popular style this season, showcasing well toned shoulders. Metallics like pale gold or silver are elegant, not tacky.

Bustier dresses are a staple, this season as in previous seasonn..

Dresses skim the body for a more relaxed look. Some are belted for a cinched waist, hourglass effect.
