Splurge of the Week: Versace Resort 2009 Dress

By The Smart Stylist on November 14, 2008 9:00 AM | Permalink | Comments (0)

There's nothing like a white Christmas but I know some people who prefer to celebrate the holidays in the tropics. Like the Caribbean or Bali. Nothing wrong about that. As long as you enjoy and celebrate the holidays with people dear to your heart. And if you are planning a tropical getaway for the holidays while everyone back home are freezing their buns off, why not up the ante and wear something that fits the island festivities.

(left to right) Cowl-Neck Dress $1,695.00. Strappy Dress $1,395.00. Floral Print Dress $1,695.00. All from Versace Resort 2009. Available to Pre-Order at eLUXURY.com

Trust me, they'll hate you more when you show them photos. Better yet, have your picture taken wearing one of this dress from Versace's Resort 2009 Collection and send it to their phones with the caption, "Uh! Why does it have to be to hot? Happy Holidays!" I sense a Mastercard commercial pitch, "Versace Floral Print Dress, $1,695.00. Seeing your friends' jaw drop with envy when they see you wearing this dress on a white sand beach in Fiji holding a sign that says 'Wish You Were Here!!! Happy New Year!' while waiting for the ball drop in Time Square freezing... Priceless." That's bit to long eh? But you get the picture.

Versace handbags are a must have this fall. The modern look and sleek design in rich deep purple and black patent leather accented with the Medusa head medallion are simply desirable. This clutch has luxury written all over it. The versatility of this clutch is also what I love about also, whether you're out in a club with your BFF or a black and tie event this clutch will compliment your outfit perfectly.

Men's Spring 2009 Collection

I was never a fan of Donatella Versace and it's not that I don't like her designs or anything. Maybe it's just the fact that when I hear 'Versace' the only person that I associated and grew up to love is the late Gianni Versace. And since Donatella replaced her brother to head the Versace empire, I guess a part of me felt she didn't deserve it because it was Gianni's hard work, blood, sweat and tears that made Versace one of fashion's respected and renowned label.

But knowing the fact that Donatella was ( or maybe even today ) being compared to Gianni, just imagine what that feels like. Haunted by the legacy left by a loved one, with expectations to at least maintain that legacy or worst surpass that. And her resilience and hard work to move forward and has done her brother proud is endearing and respectable.

Versace Men's Spring 2009 is a collection that showcases innovation and modernizing the Versace man. Chrome, steel gray, yellow, lavender and cool hues of blue painted the runway with fresh and sensuous designs. Making a true believer out of me that the Versace legac is in perfect hands. Bravura Donatella!
