LUST vs. MUST: LBD

You can always count on the old standby: the Little Black Dress. Gwen Stefani shows us how to work this little number by pairing it with a belt to cinch in the waist. That in addition to her gorgeous Lorraine Schwartz jewelry and patent peep-toe pumps, the LBD isn't looking so basic, is it?


The BB Dakota Geri Dress gives the same look with poufy skirt and cinched in waist. Add some fab shoes & accessories to turn a simple LBD into a showstopper!

Lady Gaga Channels McQueen

I am totally in love with artist, musician and overall badass Lady Gaga's style! So badass that she scored herself a Stylemaker Award at the 13th annual Accessories Council Excellence Awards. The ensemble she donned reminded me of another fashion inspiration: Alexandar McQueen's Fall '09 show. Icons inspiring icons...isn't that what fashion is all about? I know I'm inspired!!
