Spotlight On: Savee Couture's gold yellow dress


In the search for my 25th birthday dress, I came across Savee Couture's slinky gold yellow number. I blogged about their floral mini last year, but this dress stuck out to me because of its glorious amber-yellow hue. I'm a sucker for anything colorful, as you all know (just scroll down!), and I love the challenge of turning a sexy dress into something that's more my style. One of Ashley Olsen's quotes from July 2005 Harper's Bazaar always sticks with me: "If you look at pictures of the two of us walking down the street, you know we're not trying to look like sex symbols. My idea of the highest compliment is 'adorable.'" I totally agree with her!

I'd love to see this dress paired with a cluster of chunky Iosselliani goth-inspired necklaces, cage heels and a dramatic, perfectly tailored blazer. It's difficult to tell in the picture, but there is a gold wire snake twisted around the neckline which lends itself perfectly for that kind of look! How would you style this dress??

Spotlight On: LaROK suspender shorts


When summertime approaches (although you'd never know it with this weekend's dismal L.A. weather), I love channeling my inner tomboy. For me, a girl who actually adores dressing up, summer is all about stripping down to the essentials--shorts, sandals, clothes that are comfortable, free and easy. At the same time, I'm a sucker for girly details on all my clothes. That's why I'm completely in love with LaROK's Socialista suspender shorts, which feature a removable ruffled suspender--a clever, feminine twist that keeps the outfit from being too ho-hum. I envision throwing it over a plain white tee, slipping on some wedge sandals, and running out the door in time to soak up all the summer sunshine. Now if only the L.A. weather would start to cooperate...
