Women’s Fashion Tips – The Hottest Summer Dresses (Built to last through the Fall)

August 5th // Comment Here

In her latest movie, “The Proposal,” Sandra Bullock plays a publishing executive with killer instincts and an equally killer wardrobe. Exhibit A: The fitted tweed sheath she wears in the final scene (see below). It’s such a timeless, utterly feminine shape, and the origami detail at the neckline and the arc of the cap sleeves fly off the style charts – so pretty and modern. I haven’t found the exact dress just yet — let me know if you have any luck in this department! But in the meantime, I discovered some great options that share the same refined attitude and keep-it-forever appeal:

Women’s Fashion Tips – On the Hunt for the Perfect Shoe-Boot

August 3rd // Comment Here

Want to give new life to a summer dress or classic skirt and blouse combo? A hard-edged cage heel (the shoe of the moment) can ground your whole outfit. Choose a substantial shape to balance against more feminine pieces. Our favorites are actually quite walk-able, and look rich, sexy and cool in the heat.

Women’s Fashion Tips – Shopping for one-shoulder dresses

July 24th // 1 Comment

Streamlined and curve-defining, asymmetrical dresses have a delectably feminine appeal: They’re a wonderful hybrid of Greek goddess-style comfort and quiet glamour. Here are three of my favorites this season. (Styling tip: Offset the femme fatale factor by keeping jewelry to a minimum. These dresses shout drama on their own.)

Lots of love,
Loren

Okay, so maybe I’m biased, but could this woman look any more gorgeous here? Sigh. I’m particularly enamored with this Diane von Furstenberg dress – the black jersey looks sleek and minimalist, but the front-and-back keyhole cutouts give it an amazing edge.

Eva’s dress isn’t for sale in stores yet, but you can work the same luxe, high-drama vibe in von Furstenberg’s curve-hugging matte jersey sheath (below), $207 at net-a-porter.com – a perennial MyFashionCents.com favorite.

Lots of love,

Trends and News – Tracing the Trend: Graphic Beading

May 9th // Comment Here
They’re bright, they’re dramatic, and they’re showing up on just about everything right now, from summery sandals to string bikinis—and I couldn’t be more thrilled. I first saw this fun embellishment on the runways of Matthew Williamson and Stella McCartney last spring. But now, thankfully, the trend has trickled down to a more affordable, just-as-stunning level. Below, my top five can’t-wait-to-wear picks. Enjoy!
