Dress of the Day – Rory Beca Golden Ticket Slash Dress

Profashionelle — Sun, 13 Sep 2009 19:00:51 +0000

Fall weather has caught upon us and I already see people adjusting their wardrobes by wearing only dark and boring colors. I love fall fashion just as much as everyone, but do we really need to hide ourselves in grey?

This colorful print dress by Rory Beca reminds me of my art classes in school where we used to slash paint allover our canvas to replicate a Jackson Pollock painting. That was so much fun! Show your colors and just pretend as if we’re in the middle of May!

If I was going to have a summer wedding THIS is the dress I would want to wear. It is summery, simple, but yet elegant and not too expensive for a bridal gown. Absolute dress perfection!

Dress of the Day – Christian Cota Fall 2009 Dress

Profashionelle — Fri, 27 Mar 2009 14:00:07 +0000

I’ve never heard of Christian Cota before, but after seeing Rose Byrne’s maroon feathered dress I just had to check him out. Turns out he’s quite talented and I’m surprised we haven’t seen more of him on Hollywood’s red carpets yet.

This belted tulle evening gown was my favorite dress from his Fall 2009 collection and I can picture it on someone tall and statuesque like Iman or Angie Harmon. What a beautiful dress!

Dress of the Day – Alicia + Olivia Open Seamed Lace Yoke Dress

Profashionelle — Fri, 23 Jan 2009 10:00:24 +0000

A few days ago we had the perfect LWD, now it’s time to present you the perfect LBD. Since Miuccia Prada revived it in her Prada Fall 2008 collection, lace is one of the biggest trends right now – on runways, red carpets or on the streets. Lace is basically everywhere and worn with everything.

Get your own piece of lace luxury by grabbing this stunning black sleeveless jersey dress with a lace yoke from Alice + Olivia. The cut is classy and subtle while the lace adds a touch of sexiness. So femme fatale, I love it! Plus, the dress is currently on sale for $308 (was $440)!

Dress of the Day – Alexander Wang Spring 2009 Silk Jersey Dress LWD

Profashionelle — Wed, 21 Jan 2009 20:00:03 +0000

I think I have an obsession with the name Alexander. Why, you ask? Because two of my absolute favorite designers are named like that. Of couse, we’re talking about Alexander McQueen and Alexander Wang.

Today, it’s all about Wang and his perfect creation of an LWD (=Little White Dress). He’s the best when it comes to mixing sexy with edgy chic. Wang’s color palette is mostly confined to black and white (and everything in between), but he really owns these colors, so I don’t mind.

This draped silk jersey dress from Wang’s Spring 2009 collection made me instantly swoon. Isn’t it the prettiest little thing of fabric you’ve ever seen? Me loves it.

The dress is currently up for pre-oder at Saks and I’m sure it will go like hot cakes. If you have 600 bucks to spare and there’s still room for a perfect LWD in your closet, grab your chance to infinite glee and buy it!

I would style it like Saks who copied the look from Wang’s runway presentation of the dress. Black chunky heels or a pair of gladiators would be a perfect fit. Finish it off with a black cropped blazer (sleeves rolled up) and you’re set.

RUNWAY: Steve Madden “ROCKERR” High Heels, $179.95
EDGY: Jimmy Choo Tully leather sandals, $495 (WAS $825)
SEXY: Alexander McQueen Satin bar pumps, $885

Profashionelle — Tue, 18 Nov 2008 14:00:58 +0000

I haven’t posted any “Dresses of the Day” for a while so it was way about time going back to featuring beautiful and outstanding dresses on a daily basis ~ just like this floor-length turquoise ruffle silk dress from Temperley London’s Fall 2008 collection.

The collection consisted of many beautifully made pieces a lot of which instantly wowed me at first sight, this “Long Dragon Dress, Pandora Belt” as it is officially named on Temperley London‘s website in particular. And I’m loving EVERYTHING about the dress – from the vivid turquoise color and the contrasting wide belt to the cascading ruffles on the skirt and the sweetheart neckline, the dress is simply STUNNING. Being currently on the top of my wishlist I hope to see one of the classier celebs rocking it on a red carpet real soon.

Dress of the Day: Marchesa Silk Chiffon Gown

Marchesa Coral Silk Chiffon Gown
(NET-A-PORTER)

Time to kick off a new category here on this blog – it’s called “Dress of the Day“. From now on you’ll find your daily dose of dress perfection covered here on Profashionelle. And we start off with this beautiful silk chiffon gown by Marchesa from the Resort 2008 collection.

If I was ever to walk a red carpet, Marchesa would definitely be among my TOP 5 of considered designers (Christian Dior, Valentino, Elie Saab and Versace would be the others). And this beautiful Grecian-inspired floor-length evening gown is one of the reasons why. Love the empire waist, the gold embroidered bodice, the crossover straps, everything. I prefer the white version, but the coral one is edgier. Which color do you like best?

Definitely a red carpet worthy piece of fabric. Cash out $4.785 and call it yours. Pocket change.
