Holiday soirees are just around the corner. And with thousands of dress styles out there, picking the perfect party dress can be time consuming or even frustrating. I selected a few 'head-turning' and 'entrance worthy' styles for your consideration for your next swanky engagement.
- Combo and Sheath Dresses - a combo dress is basically the illusion of having two garments sewed into one. Opting for this saves you time and money in trying to find a top and bottom that works together. Sheath dresses were trendy this past summer and carried on to fall. They are made to emphasis your body. But you don't have to be a size zero to pull off one. Look for banded sheath dresses, this detail will give some added definition to your waist and adds a finished look.
- The Little Black Dress - when in doubt, go black. The classic black dress is undeniably the dress for all seasons. Be a little adventurous and daring by wearing black on black prints with feminine silhouettes.
- The 'Unexpected' Dress - break away from the pack with two-toned, bright colored dresses. Look for silhouettes that are sexy yet elegant.
- Sequin and Lace - dazzle with glitzy sequin dresses and ooze with chic appeal with lace. Just keep in mind what I always say, moderation is key when shopping for these dress styles. Don't go over board. You don't want to look like a disco ball or you're wearing a wedding dress.
- The 'Haute' Dress - edgy, fashion-forward, haute couture dresses will be ever present in every social gatherings this holiday season. If you have the budget, go ahead and splurge!
At the end of the day, what matters most is how a dress makes you feel. And I think it's been proven time and time again you don't have to spend hundreds of dollars to feel fabulous. As you can see with the dresses I found. A $40 dress can easily look like a million dollar ensemble. With you savvy fashion sense and smarts you can be the belle of the ball in every holiday party you attend.
I was in awe when I saw Balenciaga's Fall RTW Collection. The collection is romantic, elegant, luxurious and very chic. Along with the fierce footwear Nicolas Ghesquière designed for Balenciaga, draped skirts are key pieces in the collection. The skillful draping of silk to create the silhouettes is impeccable and precise.
There are a variety of draped skirts available for fall. From minimalist to avant garde. The key to making a draped skirt for you is the fit. Ideally, high-waist and above-the-knee length. Try not to overdo the draping, you might end up like you're wearing drapery.
McQ by Alexander McQueen Checked Draped Skirt $220.50, Balenciaga Print Draped Skirt $1,105.00, French Connection 'Rollin Skirt' $168.00
Opt for plain black, gray, simple pattern fabrics paired with tall boots for day. Soft pastels, bold prints goes fabulously with ankle boots, booties worn with tights for night.

When asked why I moved from Michigan to Los Angeles, I say; the weather. Growing up in the Philippines, where the climate average in the low to mid 70s all-year round and snow is something we only see on t.v. But I have to admit, snow does make the holidays feel extra special.

October days can be sunny and in the high 60s here in L.A. and wearing knee high boots can be uncomfortable to wear. Oxford style shoes and booties are perhaps the best shoes to wear for days like this. Peep toe and sandal style booties works the best so your feet can breath. Pumps are hot this fall as well and if you are shopping for a pair, pick one that fit the season's trends. Like L.A.M.B.'s 'Miyagi' Heel, the black and purple snakeskin is sexy and chic!
 | Fall in southern California can feel like spring or even summer at
times. So, when it comes to cold weather fashion we have to shop with
having that in mind. Here are some ways to look chic and fabulous with
the fall trends for L.A. fashionistas. Fall days can feel like spring time out here in L.A.

For special occassions and holiday parties, it pays to be living in
L.A. You don't have to worry on bundling up a light cardigan does
the job or wearing rain boots and change to your Christian Louboutin
pumps when you get to the party. Sweater dress worn with leggings for casual functions should be fine. As for fabulous and formal soiree, go with a vibrant color for day and a chic black or muted lace dress.

Happy 4th of July! I'm just filled with today's holiday spirit so I decided to have some fun with our traditional red, white and blue colors. A great advice I can give you when it comes to celebrating the holidays, it's acceptable to wear our holiday spirit may it be American flag earrings, stars and stripes socks but don't over do it! I've seen some folks wearing from the hats on their heads down to the painted stars on their toes. Maybe if bald eagles are not endangered I won't be surprised to see a nest on their heads with our country's national emblem proudly displayed.
There are subtle, tasteful and fashionable ways to show your reds, whites, and blues. And one way to figure out which shoes goes with what top, you can do a simple table of items you like by grouping them by color then you can create a look that's all you! Have fun.

White is always a color I love to wear. The clean and relaxed look gives you a boost of confidence as well. This season there are updates on classic white button-up shirts, shorts and pants. Dyes, embroideries and prints inspired by global, ethnic and florals mirror trends in the women's collection for spring.
I know that white easily gets dirty and that's an understandable concern. One great alternative this season is blue -- easy to wear and evokes a certain sense of calm in others.
