Label Love - Get Sexy & Sophisticated With David Meister Dresses!

Every female wants to ooze classic sex-appeal, but sultry sophistication can so easily take a wrong turn. It's easy to over-step the boundary from sexy to trashy or, on the opposite end of the spectrum, stuffy and matronly (God forbid!). With David Meister and his collection of sensually sophisticated cocktail dresses, you'll always look seductively appropriate! A sheath dress is always classic with it's feminine silhouette and longer hemline, but a plain black sheath is something we've all seen a million times. David Meister cleverly takes this favorite shape and adds interesting necklines and enticing details like off-shoulder looks and flattering ruching. Sumptious fabrics and eye-catching colors and prints only add to the va-va-voom factor. These dresses are perfect for any evening event and are quickly becoming a celebrity favorite, guaranteeing heads turning in your direction and looks of envy all night long! But don't just take my word for it! Click on the slideshow to see some of my favorite sexy and sophisticated cocktail dresses by David Meister!

Beauty Pick-Me-Up: Anstasia of Beverly Hills Perfect Brow Pencil

I'm not a thin, perfectly arched eyebrow kind of girl... mostly because my borderline out of control hairy eyebrows don't lend themselves to that shape naturally and put up quite a fight. I therefore find my eyebrow style inspiration in fellow full-browed ladies- Cindy Crawford, Brooke Shields, and up and coming model Bambi Northwood-Blyth (a personal fave). Their brows are bold and just a little unruly, the operative word being "little". A "lot" unruly and things can go wrong on your face quickly! It's been more than once that my boyfriend has laughed and pointed out that one of my eyebrows has gone a little amok, hairs pointing in directions they never should. I have definitely spent my fair share of time at Sephora testing the different brow taming tools out there. I'm not fussy when it comes to my makeup and need something that does the job with as little effort possible. Enter the Anastasia of Beverly Hills Perfect Brow Pencil. Anastasia and her salon in Beverly Hills are famous for being the eyebrow experts, and her product line doesn't disappoint. While clear brow gels (think clear mascara for your brows) are also great for keeping brows in place, this pencil is my favorite. It does double duty- a great silky pencil for filling in on one end and a brush for taming on the other. Watch out world! Now that I've perfected the brow tame, I'm pretty sure I can take on anything ...

Where to Buy: Sephora

Price: $22

Who: Zuzubean was the first to add 'Anastasia Perfect Brow Pencil' to the Hive.

Bag Of The Week: ASOS Feather Clutch

Calling all Carrie Bradshaw fans! If you're into Sex and the City then you're probably a fan of Carrie's amazing wardrobe. I've spent many an episode lusting over everything in her closet from the flamboyant shoes to her sexy bags. I love to incorporate a little bit of Bradshaw in my style whenever I can and this feather clutch by ASOS is a great piece that embraces the essence of Carrie without being too over the top. I love the color of this bag (pink and gray just looks amazing together!) and the feathers really help this bag stand apart from everything else! It's got a clasp closure so you won't lose your precious cargo, and it's deceptively big enough to hold all kinds of goodies. This sophisticated bag is all you need to create the perfect city look. It's quirky, it's cute it's fun, it's so Bradshaw! So, here's to one of our favorite fashionistas, may her style live on!
