    If you're adept in your knowledge of the many different avenues relating to fashion (other than 7th Ave.), you might have already made the connection between the name of this tank and its reference! Named after one of my favorite modern fashion illustrators, this top speaks the language of Singh's signature style. Constructed of a light, silky feminine weave, this BB Dakota shirt sings in waves of five layered flounces, broken up by a button feature on the front, which seem to subtly steal the attention from its smooth and slightly shorter back panel. True to artist form, I think this tank would look ever-so-chic for a night out by keeping it monochrome with a pair of black skinnies, studded black heels, and a beatnik beret. Or, it would be comfortably great to sport on a warm day of inspiration-seeking and sketching out grand ideas for future projects. Whatever way you view its doused print of shaded grays, processed black, and bled blues, there are an infinite amount of different outfits to pair with this pleasantly water-color-print tank! Bring on the spring, because I can't wait to wear this girly, Singh-styled treasure! -Julie, Fashion Writer

    I'm just a fool, a fool in love with this dress. With its delightfully retro silhouette, three ruffled tiers of flounce, and shimmering, chiffon-esque contrast over the silky, seafoam green fabric, the vision of its love, loveliness, inspires me to put it on and step back through time to a 1950's high school formal. I'd get a pair of cat-eye glasses, put my hair in a high ponytail, and find some really keen fellow to slow dance with to that classic tune by The Penguins. This is what any bobbysoxer would wear on that special night when a girlish crush turned to true love. Back in my time machine again, and I'm in '62, doing my best Betty Draper at a chic Manhattan cocktail party, wearing long white gloves, classy pumps, and a faux-fur stole, and this dress is still fabulous. One more time and I'm at a wedding in '79, rocking out to Cream on the dancefloor. My hair is super straight, and I've paired this dress with funky statement jewelry and rows of bangles. Before I can catch the bouquet I'm back here in the 21st century right where I was before, coffee mug in hand, dreaming of the perfect formal or semi-formal excuse to pull this dress out of my wardrobe. -Emily, Fashion Writer

    You're on a crowded Parisian street with a sweet tooth. This is your first time out of the country, and you're bursting with excitement and curiosity, so you decide to see what's inside this fragrant chocolat shop. You notice rows of delectable goodies resembling your silky cocoa and dulce de leche striped top. Though you may struggle with your French, looking tasty is easy in your top with its collar and cap sleeves. And, it's lovely for layering with a cardigan on cool days by the Seine or just perfect by itself. Its low, slightly gathered waist sets a mold for a subtle shape and loose fit. Ganache buttons can be secured to the neck or left open near the top to showcase a cordial gold necklace. "Je voudrais," you begin to say to the shopkeeper as Stevie Wonder's 'Mon Cherie Amour' begins to play on the radio, "une truffe."

    I will never be a contestant in a beauty contest, nor is it likely that I be invited to a Hollywood premiere anytime soon. But when slipping into this midnight and silver dress, I can't help but feel like I'm bound for a red carpet, or headed to an event where wearing a crown wouldn't be out of the question. Everything about this frock from Max and Cleo exudes elegance, from the structured boning at the bust to its glimmering skirt rimmed with a light tulle lining. I love how the velvety waistband gives my waist dimension between the silkiness of the strapless top and the shimmer of the full skirt. Usually, I love dresses that have pockets, because they give me something to do with my hands when feeling awkward at cocktail parties. But I can't help but feel anything but confident when donning this dress, making the pockets an added benefit! I plan on wearing this frock this holiday season with sheer black tights, open-toe stilettos, and lots of sparkling accessories . Full of glamour and intrigue, this dress will be a favorite for years to come. Maybe even one day, I'll get that chance to show it off on the red carpet! - Sarah, Fashion Writer
