The Little Black Dress

  
The little black dress. We've all heard this cliche saying about owning a black dress. But do you really want to know why owning one may be so important? 

First off, we know that this economy is nothing to get excited about. A black dress is a great item of clothing to invest in because it will never go out of style. Black is never out. Crazy to think that one color can be so powerful, huh? Well it is also magical. It compliments almost every skin tone, and works on all body types. The key is to find the right cut and shape to flatter your body. Whether it's low cut, flowy, tight or loose it will always look great for years to come. To get the most out of your money, be sure to stick with a strictly black dress, no polka-dots or additional color accents or it may become dated sooner than later. Pair your dress with fun accessories to spice it up!

Oscars 2011

I absolutely loved the red carpet looks this year so it was hard to limit my favorite looks to five. Mila Kunis wore one of my all time favorite designers: Ellie Saab. The lilac with her dark features and nude illusions worked great on her, although I wasn't a huge fan of her make up or hair. The Ellie Saab gown was pure perfection and possibly the best look of the night. I adored Gwyneth Paltrow's Calvin Klein gown. It was the great mix of futuristic and metallic. Jennifer Lawrence looked amazing in a simple red hot gown. Natalie Portman looked ravishing in her plum, off the shoulder gown and tassel earrings. Halle Berry rarely fails and was a total knock out in her crystal encrusted corset and tulle gown by Marchesa.
