Elizabeth & James Au Revoir Dress

Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen are covering all their bases. Not just satisfied with their clothing line for tweens, America’s most successful twins have gone ahead and added two new fashion lines to their repertoire. First up was The Row, a line of high-priced, super-luxe wardrobe staples that Barneys New York picked up, and now they’ve come up with Elizabeth & James. Named after their siblings, Elizabeth & James is priced at the contemporary level, a step below the designer prices of The Row. Neiman Marcus has already put the line online, offering my favorite piece, the Elizabeth & James Au Revoir Dress, for a very reasonable $360 dollars. It’s 100% silk in a gorgeous grey with lipstick detail at the bust, with a swingy silhouette that pairs great with tights. It what chic girls would pick in a New York Minute!

3.1 Philip Lim Blue Short Sleeved Knot Tie Tee

Although I am usually a big one for clothes the hues of the seasons (i.e. golds and browns in autumn) this color of blue is wonderful and vibrant for the crisp days that I am greatly anticipating.  On top of that, a t-shirt that is a little more dressy can be worn to classes, the office (dressed up with a skirt and possibly a cute little blazer), and out shopping is the perfect closet staple.  The knot detailing on the piece gives a comfy basic a lot more personality.  I love Philip Lim because even though I can’t necessarily always afford him, he still inspires me to attempt to be creative with pieces that are already in my wardrobe.

Banana Republic Silk Polka Dot Dress

Banana Republic makes it easy to go from work to play in this flirty A-line silk dress.  That’s right ladies and gentlemen, polka dots are back in full effect and they’re hotter than ever.  Hidden front on-seam pockets and inset waist band add fun details to this gorgeous dress.  For cooler evenings, throw a cropped jacket or fitted sweater over this ultra feminine number and enjoy your night out on the town.

Teri Hatcher in Badgley Mishka

Teri Hatcher stood out from a sea of predictable red carpet looks in this whimsical Badgley Mishka polka-dot dress that balanced sophistication with playfulness.  The tea length and sweetheart neckline are so flattering on any body, calling attention to all the right places and masking the not-so-right ones. When Hatcher isn’t on Wysteria Lane, the Desperate Housewife will be showing off her modeling skills as the newest face of ultra chic designer Badgley Mishka. While the dress is fabulous Hatcher actually stripped down to her designer skivvies for some of the ads!

BCBG Metallic Jersey Dress

Bring out the dreamgirl in you with this cap sleeve metallic dress by BCBG.  In this little number, you’ll be the life of party just by showing up. My favorite detail is the low draped back, which immediately adds sexiness and sophistication to an already eye-catching dress.  Even better, it’s on sale at Macy’s for only $135 (marked down from $180).
