Red Dresses For The Holidays

People that know me know that I can't stand country music. But, when it comes to fashion I often am looking to Taylor Swift for inspiration. I just love her wardrobe...especially her amazing cocktail dresses. Taylor was recently spotted wearing this adorable red strapless dress to a CMT bash. She kept her look very simple and didn't go overboard with accessories. She let the bold red in her dress (and lips) be the star of the party!

I love the idea of wearing a red frock for the holidays. It's actually something I do not have in my wardrobe. Can you believe that? I have so many little black dresses...I have to add in a little red dress to the mix. It's such a great look for Christmas or New Year's Eve parties, making you stand out in the crowd. Who doesn't love a little attention???

Here are some of my favorite red dresses...and if you are also in need of a great red dress (or would just love another one) I strongly suggest incorporating these looks into your party style---

Dreamy Dresses

Lately it seems as though all I have been wearing is dresses. This is probably because I don't own any shorts except for gym shorts (crazy I know!). Maybe also because dresses have to be the easiest thing to wear. Just throw one on and you look great! Very little effort is needed.

Over the last few weeks here it's been 90-100+ degrees (often with a ridiculous amount of humidity)...so even when I put a dress on I feel gross. Just not pretty. One thing my wardrobe is definitely lacking is "dreamy dresses". Dresses that when you put them on feel girlie and pretty and like a princess. When I think of dreamy dresses I instantly think of ruffles, chiffon, and flowy designs.

Here are some of my favorite dreamy dresses out there right now. I really need to get on the ball and start filling my closet with these beautiful frocks.

What To Wear If You're Curvy

 Almost always at the top of the best dressed is Kim Kardashian, who now gives advice on how to dress if you have curves. She talks about the five essential things that every girl with curves should know if she wants to look perfect. Read and remember!


1. Find a great tailor - "Everything you put on should be in proportion to your body, a good tailor will make sure that everything fits perfectly. Before I wear something, tailor and my stylist adjust this to my line, if something needs to be narrowed. Shortening hem on a dress can make a big difference." This is good advice for all women, not just those with curves.

2. Emphasize your waist - "Show your slim waist. If you add a belt to your wardrobe, your look will look much better. I have great belts from Phillip Lim and Alaja." Belt is great for your look and can be in the spotlight. Find a belt that fits your figure and wear it with style.

3. Avoid over-sized tops and dresses - Kim said: "I know they are very comfortable and they look great on Nicole Richie, but baggy dresses and tops are not exactly appropriate for the rounded figure. You look like you are pregnant and even messy in the photos. Instead, wear a maxi dress." Too big clothes has never looked good on someone. If you have curves pay attention to the clothes you choose, they should be neither too broad nor too narrow.

4. Hug your corset - "Every woman should have a corset. I like to wear them because that way my line looks slimmer and narrower, and I can wear tight dresses without having to see any lines." Corset creates an ideal look of your lines. Bulges will disappear and you'll feel safer.

5. Love your curves - "Be sure and confident to have such a body, because it is very sexy. I like to show my curves and designers like Altuzarra, Antonio Berardi, Thatcher made incredible dresses that match perfectly to my body." Love yourself and your body first and foremost. If you don't feel good in your curves everyone will notice that. People perceive you in a way how you behave. So, do everything to show how much you love your body.

I got a haircut the other day and never knew that cutting off a few inches would literally make my head feel much lighter. Just had to post this editorial because it's so fitting for Spring and totally uplifting. The colourful gowns are phenomenal, non?

Actually I should probably re-post this as white-ish dresses because under closer inspection they're not all white. But regardless, aren't they all just beautiful? I think I've posted before that I'd like to get married in a Givenchy gown but that last Ralph Lauren dress is so dreamy (not that I'm getting hitched soon/ just a thought).
Guess what? I've been up since 5am because I couldn't get back to sleep after I went to the loo at 4. Again this is probably due to a past week of crazy, erratic sleeping. There's nothing to do at this hour so I've been going through my blog list and there is just so much to catch up on and comment on. It's making me want to start xmas shopping early.

Being Girlie

Wearing a dress doesn't mean you have to be all dressed up. I often will throw on a casual frock along with some thick tights and boots, and I find myself feeling even more comfortable than when I wear jeans and a tshirt. I find it really annoying when girls tell me that they don't wear dresses. You don't have to be in a frilly dress to show some femininity. I found some adorable (and comfortable) dresses that all of my readers have to know about. Even if dresses are new to your wardrobe, these eight dresses are great ones to get you started.
