{ LBD }


{ gifted tiffany prescription specs (made from these sunnies), thakoon dress (similar options HERE and HERE), dolce + gabbana shoes }

holiday soirée season is in full swing ~ these days i have events nearly every evening, and after a busy workday i'm thankful for zip-and-go dresses (like this thakoon one), that allow me to transition into party mode within minutes! plus, a little bustle at the back never makes me mad.

who makes your favorite go-to cocktail frock?

I spend so much time socializing during the holidays, it's week after week of events...Free Peeps is just casual enough for daytime then it's usually something blinged out like Aussie's Be Seduced line for night!! Party frock heaven, this bustle is so MAHhhhJ!!

I've seen really amazing great dresses but just not the perfect one yet. Tibi has great ones and Prabal Gurung fall 11/winter 2012 collection is gorgeous. The dress looks great on you, good luck with all the events going on. If you get a chance do check out my blog, I have interesting fashion posts that you might love to read.

I love this dress - so classic and elegant!

My favourite go-to for cocktails is a perfect and totally comfortable Vivienne Westwood Anglomania dress I grabbed in a major net-a-porter sale. I wear it all the time.

Teodora said...

I don't really have a go-to cocktail frock but when I think about it, the most I have are from Karen Millen. Love Karen Millen.

Lovely dress, and the bustle is such a wonderful touch. As a general rule, whenever I spot a wonderful party dress I get it, even if I don't have any place to wear it right away. It always seems like the toughest time to find a great dress is when you have some place to go, lol!
