Girls Night Out Musthaves

GNO When prepping an outfit for a hot summer evening, look no further than these GNO essentials.  Here are party-ready pieces that are tastefully alluring, but also incredibly fashion-forward.

GNO-jumpsuitAsos: Chic Jumpsuit with Open Back ($76) If you’re less of a dress or skirts girl, you’ll appreciate this sleek jumpsuit. Just add a jeweled necklace for a visually intriguing result!

GNO-skortZara: Mini Skort ($50) in Geranium. Skorts are perfect GNO material. Why? They’re dressier than a pair of shorts, but offer more coverage than a tiny mini skirt.

Summer Party ClutchBlessing-Co: Summer Party Clutch ($28) This graphic party scene clutch is just the right size for holding your keys, lipstick, and cell phone for all those numbers you’ll collect.

GNO-jacketSass and Bide: Not the Enemy Embellished Jacket ($590) Add a jacket, like this one to your outfit for extra polish (silver chain embellishments give off a rock ‘n’ roll vibe).

GNO-coatedskinniesPaige: Hoxton Coated High-Res Skinnies ($199) in Black Coated. Skinny jeans are great, but try a coated pair for girls’ night out. They’re flashier, which is just what you need for an after-hours event.

GNO-blouseNasty Gal: Sweet Dot Crop Blouse ($32) Bring out your feminine side with this sheer polka-dot top, downplay its cutesy feel by layering it over a lacy bra.

GNO-strappydressTopshop: Strappy Hem Dress ($84) Your summer tan will pop in this halter body-con dress! Plus, wearing white is your chance to stand out in a sea of black.

Green-Crossbody-bagBlessing-Co: Mini Crossbody Bag ($20) in Mint. If you want to go hands-free (best for holding more than one cocktail 😉 ) this cute cross-body is a sure bet.

Have a fab Girls Night Out!

XOXO

Hot Red Dresses!

I am a huge fan of modifying the LBD (Little Black Dress) to fit the occasion, season, or company. For example, a Little White Dress is perfect for summer cocktails at a rooftop bar. While on vacation in the Greek Islands, a Little Blue Dress is a great option. And on Valentine’s Day, why not go full-on feminine (and sexy) with a Little Red Dress? Here are a few favorites:

ASYMMETRICAL

VDay-ASYMMETRY

Three different versions of the here-to-stay asymmetrical sleeve trend shown here. Cover up without looking conservative with the BCBGeneration Pleat Flounce Dress in Ruby Red (on sale for $51.99 at 6pm.com), or add a more plunging neckline and subtle crystal beading with the Laundry Asymmetrical Shirr Bead Dress (on sale for $40.79 at loehmanns.com). Or take the focus entirely to your stems in the maxandcleo Women’s Alanna Cocktail Dress ($66.60 at amazon.com).

VA VA VALENTINE

VDay-SEXY

Sometimes, it’s time to just go there. Short, red, and tight. Emphasize your decollatage in the Asos Sexy Pencil Dress With Cut Out Back in Red (on sale for $35.08 at us.asos.com), or show off your Justin Timberlake-approved sexy back in this Rare Skater Dress With Chain Strap Back (on sale for $27.18 at us.asos.com). You could also choose to simply show off your curves with a hip-hugging dress like this Donna Ricco Seamed Stretch Twill Sheath Dress ($98 at nordstrom).

CONSERVATIVE

VDay-CONSERVATIVE

As many guys will tell you, sometimes the sexiest girl in the room is the one leaving the most to the imagination. Test that theory in this Calvin Klein Sleeveless Ruffled Cap Sleeve Red Sheath ($89.98 at macys.com) with an adorable ruffled sleeve. Love the nautical collar on this Esme and the Laneway Dress ($74.99 at modcloth.com), and for a well-tailored sheath dress with a modest hemline, try on the French Connection Annie Jersey Dress (on sale for $58 at neimanmarcus.com).

Be a Red Hot Valentine!

XOXO
