In our opinion, there’s nothing quite as instantly glamorous as a floor-grazing, strapless dress. Paired with simple jewelry, it’s a one-piece show-stopper that has the charm, grace, and uniqueness to take you from a daytime shopping trip to a candlelit dinner.

Looking through magazine editorials for inspiration might be all good and well, but sometimes, we’d like to look at some styling a little easier to digest than looks straight off of Unwearable Runway Trends ‘10.

We’ve all experienced the fussy New York weather. You know, those days when it’s too cold to sport a skirt but the thought of wearing a coat give us hot flashes.

At first glance, London based designer, Simon Ekrelius ‘ fall collection looks more like an otherworldly editorial spread than your average lookbook.
