Mentally slip yourself into the lush 80's Valentino dress, seen above. The cream versus black creation is in keeping with fashion's current enthusiasm for color blocking. The plisse treatment on the bodice provides added interest by creating an interesting texture. The piece is 100% silk and exemplifies luxury. 

Party like it's 1989 in this green polka dot prom dress from Ungaro. Beautifully made with a boned bodice and wide v-neckline, this piece is crafted out of the highest quality silk. Re-live your prom night without the acne or the crushing insecurity!

Every girl needs a go-to going out blazer. This Lanvin number is just the ticket. The gold and black brocade really makes it stand out with the black velvet outline providing a refined edge. 

Have you been nice or nautical? (One pun too far? That's not like us!) This simple yet absolutely stunning navy and white Jean Louis Scherrer dress is the ultimate in understated elegance. Loose fitting and color blocked with navy and white, this piece made from silk crepe is the perfect accompaniment to any festive celebration.

Smart Buy: Rick Owens Loden Sweater Dress

Our latest Smart Buy comes from the genius of RICK OWENS with this smart loden shaggy knit sweater dress that has his signature romantic, brooding, sci-fi appeal. Like all of his designs, it has a dual beauty because on the one hand its a classic, sturdy, get-you-through-the fall & winter stand-by. But when it's on you see Owen's tendencies, the thick almost shaggy like your grandfather's old sweater fabrication, the generous cowl neck that can be worn as a hood, extra long dolman sleeves with uneven edges, almost pre dog-eared, and the romantic side ruching along one side all together make this one quiet, yet strong statement maker.
