Trend Spot: Two-Piece Dresses


The hottest trend to embrace this season (in the warmer days) is the two-piece dress look. This trend will definitely be one to watch in the upcoming spring fashions. With it already gathering a huge fashion following in the US and being embraced by numerous celebrities both on and off the red carpet.

Selena Gomez, Miley Cyrus and AnnaLynne McCord have all been rocking the latest trend to hit spring fashion, the two piece dress. It’s all the rage this season, the bustier style tops that stop above the midsection, paired with a skirt, revealing a sexy peek-a-boo slit is the must have item!

Though it looks a little intimidating, this trend is quite easy to pull off if you have the confidence (and the toned stomach to match!). It works best with a bustier-style top that stops above the midsection, paired with an A-line, skater or flared skirt (basically any style that isn’t too fitted), to reveal a sexy cut-out in a chic and sophisticated way.

Some examples of celebrities following this trend are Katy Perry last Sunday in Herve Leger by Max Azria Pre-Fall 2013 in 2013 Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Awards.

Show Your Personality with Party Dresses


When looking through your closet full of various kinds of clothes, but still have no idea about what to wear for the party tonight, you must be very frustrating. Finding a magic party dress for a party can be a difficult task, as you don't know whether to dress elegantly or simple to be different from everyone else.

One of the first things to consider is the theme of the party you will be attending. Will there be many other gals trying to dress more fashionably than you, and will they be successful? What type of party is it? By using these two questions, you can determine whether you wish to dress more fashionably than the other females at the party, or if you intend to be different from all the other gals by keeping it simple and classy.

Choosing a dress which matches your personality and style is paramount. Are you a trend follower who is constantly updating your wardrobe to keep up with it? Or, are you a person who is known for your simple fashion? Being yourself in social situations is vital, and you can't yield to the peer pressure of other women at parties to help you know how to act.

Dress Your Party Dress Like A Princess


When receiving a invitation to a party or ball, the first thing come into your mind may be the party dress you will be wearing in that occasion. It's irresponsible to just grab a dress then put it up, for choosing the right dress actually takes a lot of leaning. It is important not to just look at what is trendy, but also what suits you and what your personal preferences are.

If your intention is to only buy one and maximize its versatility, then you may want to consider a cocktail dress, but if your goal is to be Cinderella at the ball, then you should look into a formal ball gown.

Party dresses can pretty much be worn for any special event. Depending on the style of the dress, you could wear the same one to homecoming, prom, graduation, and your friends' wedding. However, since most girls like a new dress, chances are you will buy it at some point.

If this is the case, then consider what types of them you may already have hanging in your closet and find a style that could be better suited for different events, such as black tie formals and balls. This way you can build your wardrobe to accommodate different settings.

Depending on the event, you may want to achieve a different look. Of course, every you wear is going to look elegant and make you feel special. However, there is no doubt that certain party dresses definitely set a specific tone over other dress styles.

Magic Combination: Gold and Black

As a shiny and bright color, gold always gives us the expand feeling which is hard to harness. When wearing this color, we should be careful not to overwork with it. For example your matching accessories, shoes, belt, etc.

Gold on gold is going to be a little too much, and gold with other bold colors will dazzle your eyes. While combining the gold with black that is somehow dark can make the focal point stand out without overdoing with gold.

Celebrity Fashion Inspiration: Amanda Seyfried


Amanda Seyfried is everywhere these days. In Hollywood, on the cover of magazine, and in the red carpet fighting for her fame. The ‘Les Miserables’ star is rising rapidly, not only for her superb mastery of acting, her versatility, her statuesque beauty, but also for her fine fashion preference when facing the public. Every time she appears on the screen, I’m always amazed at her style taste. She often brings us surprise. Remember her dark midnight-blue evening gown with a cascade of tiered layers from Zac Posen Pre-Fall 2013 in 2013 SAG Awards? She was so stunning. We can definitely get inspiration from her for our party night. Below are some of her recognizable styles.
