Marchesa Ruffled Silk-Crepe Strapless Dress: White Magic

Here comes the bride…or does she? Marchesa’s bustling white confection might look frothy and fresh enough to sit atop a three-tiered cake, but this vivaciously ruffled dress could be decadent cocktails all the way. Whether you’re walking down the aisle or want to feel like you’re walking in the clouds, it could work either way. [...]

Marchesa Fall 2012 Collection: Out of This World

You can’t help but wonder how Marchesa manages to outdo themselves season after season. Their ability to achieve new heights of beauty through dress is mind-boggling – the word “impressed” just becomes meaningless. Other terms come to mind: gorgeous, ethereal, dreamy, fantastical, breathtaking, and just plain fun to behold. I was blown away; this was [...]

Revenge-Inspired Style: Guilty Pleasure – and Even Guiltier Fashion

Full-disclosure: I am completely obsessed with Revenge. I was a fan of Dynasty as a kid and I’ve been waiting decades for another guilty pleasure that stands up to the drama and fashion of the eighties soap opera. There’s a lot less shoulder padding and everyone seems to be about 90 lbs., but I can’t [...]

Top 5 Creamy Cocktail Dresses: Pale Fire

The weather outside may be turning frightful, but there’s no reason you shouldn’t look delightful! Emphasis on “light.” We might have the urge to turn towards deeper hues this time of year – and nothing beats a good jewel tone for certain December festivities – but a fresh crop of pale and airy dresses have [...]

Minnie Driver in Marchesa

Marchesa Spring 2011

As is the case with almost all Marchesa confections, they’re not designed for the faint of heart. This is, ladies and gentlemen, full on, unabashed glamour. This season Georgina Chapman tapped into the ongoing East meets West theme and sent out a magnificent Orientalist approach to her couture creations. Opting for a more toned-down color [...]

Sarah Jessica Parker in Marchesa

Another fabulous short black cocktail dress! This time around it’s SJP in Marchesa at ShoWest awards last night. Who else could pull this off!? I mean look at her legs! I’m going to kickboxing later and will bring this photo to my trainer. Make my legs this toned please. The black and nude pleated tulle [...]

Marchesa Sequined strapless dress

Sometimes sequins are just, well, too shiny.  Which is why this dress from Marchesa is so brilliant, they wrapped layers of black tulle over the sequins which also lends a 40′s Old Hollywood glamour (what Marchesa is known for!).  The sweetheart neckline dips just enough to tantalize and the shroud of tulle lends an air [...]
