If you're going to go big, go all the way, I say. This dress would take me there, just like that.

1. Issa print dress,
2. Topshop leather moto jacket,
3. Michu embellished clutch,
4. Aquazzura peep-toe booties,

These earrings pull off the impossible: they are both easy bohemian and full-on glamorous and look crazy expensive but are reasonably priced. Now look how they work magic too...

Ready for hire: this impressive work-to-dinner dress that's nicely detail oriented. A good value, too!

In keeping with the pared-down, minimalist theme from , here's a white leather shift dress that stands out for its fantastic simplicity--and hello-right-now-to-spring wearability.

This embellished dress is not only Miu Miu cute but thoroughly throw-on-and-go easy. Love that!

Back to school. Back to work. Back to reality. Slipping into this one-step-chic (Isabel Marant-ish) dress would mean one less thing to stress about.

Skimpy and leather are two words that I don't usually like together--except in this case. In fact, I have a dress that's very similar to this one in white, which I wore to a wedding last year in Palm Beach. (You can see me in it .) There's no doubt this is va va voom sexy and definitely more appropriate for the minimally-endowed, but the fullness of the skirt keeps it tasteful. Come colder weather, I also like the idea of wearing a black turtleneck underneath or a cropped sweater over it. But for now, I'd pull it off like this...

Yeah, yeah, summer's winding down (quickly!) but these Sam & Libby gladiator sandals for $19 bucks are too good to pass up. After all, they'll work on warm-weather getaways and next year too!

A pair of metallic sandals always up the glam factor, especially ones by Proenza Schouler at 60%* off!

Knee deep into the September issues, I am seeing vivid, eye-popping prints galore. I love how this dress full-on embraces the trend, yet its ladylike silhouette keeps it forever classic.
