    Top 10 Fabulous Bustier Dresses That Mix Structure With Sexiness

    I don't care what my credit card statement reads -- I say it's never too early to pick out the perfect New Year's Eve dress (unless you plan to really let yourself go at the dinner table this holiday season -- yikes)! What I'm really loving for the cocktail party season ahead is bustier dresses -- a little reminiscent of Madonna's "Like A Virgin" days (in a cool way, of course), yet updated with more subtle hidden boning, chiffon layers, and fun florals and lace. Bustiers juxtapose conservative structure with a snug fit that without revealing too much, yet unlike an old-fashioned corset, you can actually breathe. Blur the lines between girly and edgy with this studded belt bustier from Forever 21, or go full-on flirty with this floaty strapless sheath by Donna Morgan. Browse through the slideshow for a selection of my favorite 10 bustier dresses!

    Rock Out Like Rihanna For Halloween!

    This Halloween, I thought our favorite Barbadian songstress Rihanna would be a great inspiration for a costume. What better time to unleash the diva in you and get adventurous with your clothing? Rihanna is always wearing something experimental, fashion forward and never cookie cutter. My costume inspiration for Rihanna is from a tour she did last year which is a little less daring than her current outfits, but you'll be surprised at how many pieces of clothing that's already in your closet you can use! Start off with a shiny silver bustier or corset like the one I found from Charlotte Russe. Add a pair of liquid leggings or faux leather pants, leather boots, black fingerless gloves and a few chunky silver cuffs and you're set! If you don't have Rihanna's signature sleek short black hair, grab a wig and style it appropriately. Take a peek at my slideshow to see how you can become Rihanna (without all the drama, of course). Best part is, nothing in my slideshow is over $50! Photo credit: PR Photos

    Which CW Starlet Looked The Hottest At Teen Vogue's Young ...

    Somehow Teen Vogue's annual Young Hollywood Party seemed so much more laid-back without having to watch Lauren Conrad run around backstage on the verge of tears like a chicken with its head cut off. While I'm sure there were plenty of other interns slaving behind the wings making sure it all ran smoothly, the event was much more enjoyable from our view on the red carpet. After all, what's a Teen Vogue party without the chance to really check out the entrance ensembles! With all the black, chrome, and grey dresses and pantsuits, I couldn't help but ask myself, has fall finally arrived, or is everyone just feeling "blah" tonight? And also, who are some of these people? I had to give credit to CW's newest bad girl, Katie Cassidy, for brightening the mood with a seriously colorful corseted number... while her fellow station-pals Jessica Stroup and AnnaLynne McCord kept it cool in monochrome. Vote below on which CW actress repped her re-make show the best on the red carpet! Photo Credit: PR Photos

    New York Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2010: Brian Reyes

    When designer Brian Reyes noted backstage that his Spring/Summer 2010 collection contained "all the things he loves," he wasn't exaggerating. Even though his runway seemed to boast everything but the kitchen sink -- from sheer lingerie to multicolored high-waisted shorts to metallic off-the-shoulder dresses to ink blots(?!) -- he still managed to maintain a sophisticated sense of balance. Floaty ruffled blouses were reined in with cinched belts, and bustier dresses got a dose of high-wattage color to keep things young and fun, not vampy. As for the silk rorschach test body suit? That's the result of a creative thought process that perhaps only Reyes' #1 fan Rachel Bilson would fully understand. Flip through the slideshow to see some of the show-stopping ensembles!

    Revamp Your Top Drawer With Retro Lingerie!

    If the idea of retro lingerie makes you think of dreadful terms like "foundations" or worse, girdles, keep reading. Lacy little things have their place in many a top drawer, but retro lingerie, with a little more fabric and function, is just as alluring. Think along the lines of high-waisted panties and boyshorts, longline bras, tap shorts, and feminine ruffles- fun, right? The simpler shapes and modest cuts convey an innocence lost in the heaps of skimpy lace found in most stores these days, and even if you're far from innocent, it's fun to play the part every once in awhile. For a retro twist on a modern favorite, try Hanky Panky's hi-rise panty- it's perfect for high waisted jeans and skirts. Betsey Johnson's cami and tap pant set is a sweet take on this throwback trend, and if pale pink and ribbons are your thing, you'll love the charming 'Amelie' bralette from Undrest. Sure, these don't exactly agree with your SO's unofficial "less is more" mantra, but this was never really about them, was it? See the slideshow for my favorite retro underthings.

    Undoubtedly, everyone will think you look heavenly in your wedding ensemble. But even more undoubtedly, the one who proposed the marriage is thinking that big, expensive gown you bought to walk down the aisle in is hiding a bit too much.

Cut-outs and baby-dolls galore, these picks are just the beginning when it comes to having the wedding night you've always dreamed of.
