Sometimes a fabric choice can really make a simple dress just POP— sometimes a dress pattern alone is just intricate enough for one solid color of fabric. This week I have both options; from a simple tunic top in an opal palate, to a flowing evening gown in solid, glowing Amethyst…

How often do you ride the line between masculine & feminine? A sort-sleeved tuxedo jacket over a little black dress can be the perfect accomplice in gender-bending— check out this Garnet Tuxedo Jacket pour la Femme. It’s sharp, bold and hot. The second dress to the right could be perfect for an engagement party, a prom, or a night out with a loved one. The soft, ombre yellow silk makes this dress shine in the summer, look at the Tourmaline Yellow Drapé Dress and get inspired. Top right features a go-to piece for summer days or nights— it’s a straight-forward Tunic in Citrine Orange with a sash. Simply lovely. If you’re looking to make a dramatic statement, this Peridot Green Goddess Dress may be the one for you. The bat-wing sleeves are amazing! Bottom middle shows a sweet empire waist floor length Amethyst Evening Gown. The shoulders were decorated in faux amethyst stones… For a day at the pool, a very glamorous pool that is, check out this Opal-essence Tunic Top— it’s like the orange dress pictured above but shirt-length. Enjoy!
