  CollegeCandy Wishlist: ASOS Draped Dress

  

  Alex Gambardella on Nov 13, 2009 5:18 AM PST
  

  When you're on a budget, you can't spend your money on just anything. You need items that are versatile, timeless and just plain pretty. And this beautiful dress from ASOS is all that and more. It is short, yet it reveals just enough skin with its strapless design for hitting those clubs on Saturday night. Put on some sexy, strappy heels and you are ready to conquer the dance floor. When the party's over, work this dress in a different way. Got a holiday party coming up? Slip it on with a pair of pumps and clutch. A nice family dinner to attend? Put a blazer over the top and you'r good to go. Wanna rock it out? Add a leather jacket, tights and a pair of ankle boots. Unlike most mini dresses, this ASOS design is anything but typical. I really love the contrast created by the light drape, especially the way it crosses the bust to the waistline and then back over again on the bottom. With this dress in your closet you'll have the solution to every wardrobe dilemma. Whether it's a birthday party or a wedding, this dress is the answer!

  Travel In Style With Wrinkle-Free Jersey Dresses!

  

  Caitlin McNulty on Dec 9, 2008 4:23 PM PST
  

  Traveling during the holidays, whether it's a trip to see the fam or a winter getaway, requires a lot of planning and of course, for any fashionista, a lot of packing. While many say that packing light is the best advice, I tend to follow the motto "the more the merrier," but squeezing five or six dresses into my weekend bag can get a little messy. That's why this holiday season I'm packing soft, lightweight jersey fabrics that will fit nicely into my bag and are sure to look great straight out of the bag! And better yet, wear one of these dresses as you travel to avoid those dreaded travel tucks and puckers so you can arrive at your destination in style. Plus, they're really comfy!

  Wear A Dress By An Emerging Indie Designer For The Holidays!

  

  Jennifer on Dec 9, 2008 12:25 PM PST
  

  This holiday season, impress your friends with inexpensive and fair trade designs by emerging independent fashion designers. It's not haute couture (designed just for you), but it's the next closest thing! Besides, it's way more affordable and also supports an amazing fashion concept. Buying independent means the items are not mass-produced, and range from production quantities of sometimes twenty to one hundred pieces made for each style. These independent designers like to keep their collections fresh and current, recycling old styles and moving forward each season. Doesn't the idea of showing up at a party only to find another guest has already arrived wearing your same dress sound so embarrassing? We've put together a quick gallery of our favorite holiday dresses made exclusively by independent fashion designers so you can be sure this won't happen to you. Click on the slideshow to see them all!

  Need A Party Outfit? Check Out Karmaloop's Holiday Trends!

  

  Karmaloop Goodkarma on Nov 28, 2008 2:24 PM PST
  

  The holidays are quickly approaching and designers this season are showing festive looks for any occasion and style. BB Dakota€™s Holiday €™08 Collection presents an array of sassy cocktail dresses to choose from. My top pick is The Bridgeport Dress. The fitted bodice and blush fabric give the look a great feminine feel while a hidden netted layered skirt allows the pleating details to really pop. Also check out the Woodsboro Dress, the Dayton Dress, the Vivi Dress, the McCall Dress, and the Joan Dress.
  
  
  Don€™t forget to accessorize these looks with a bold pump or statement bag. The Pape Platform by Jeffrey Campbell, the Clutch in Red Patent Croco by Gaya Bags, the Coco Knocker Acrylic Earrings in Bronze & Gold by Cubannie Links, and the Sally Leather Gloves by Cheap Monday are all surefire ways to accessorize an otherwise drab look.
  
  
  For the ladies looking for a less girly look, the menswear-inspired trend has blown up this season and has shown up in many designer collections. To make this look a reality, I recommend the Wing Tip in Gray by Jeffrey Campbell, and the Wakefield Tuxedo Vest in White and Sorrento Tuxedo Pant, both by BB Dakota. Also check out the Men€™s Suit Pant Jumper by Rojas, and the Tassel Low Cut Boots in tan by Perks and Mini. Pair these separates for a fashion-forward look that is guaranteed to turn heads this holiday season!
