Dolce & Gabbana Napa-Trim Silk Dress

Happy 100th birthday Neiman Marcus! What better way for them to celebrate than to give us, the fashion-loving community, a whole hoard of birthday exclusives? One of my favorite pieces is this Dolce & Gabbana Napa-Trim Silk Dress, $2995 from (of course) Neiman Marcus’s website. Metallics and greys are the biggest trends for fall, making this dress one of the best dresses for fall. The stretchy platinum silk with grey napa trim means one luxurious, body-amplifying piece of fabulous! Celebrate in style, it’s the only time that you get a present for somebody else’s birthday!

Ann Taylor Diana Long Strapless Dress

If you’re looking for a definition for ‘elegant’, this dress is it.  This gorgeous silk gown will have heads turning in your wake.  Boning at the bodice gives structure in all the right places and the full lining will block any unwanted light from filtering through the fabric and ruining your silhouette.  Strapless and A-line, this gown accentuates shoulders and arms while lengthening your entire body with its floor-length sweep.  If going strapless is too scary, removable straps are included.  Perfect for an elegant night out.

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.

Chris Benz Layered Silk Dresses

Emerging designer Chris Benz seems to have everyone in a tizzy with his new line of resort ware for summer 2007.  This dress is just one of many Chris Benz layered silk dresses available. The pastel hues are pretty and summery, and the dress is light as a feather.  The frocks remind me of an ice cream sundae with layers upon layers of different flavors, all blending with one another in one fancy dish.  In a word the dresses are scrumptious!   I can’t wait to see what Benz comes up with next!
