    CollegeCandy Wishlist: ASOS Draped Dress

    image
    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! Check out CollegeCandy for other holiday season wardrobe staples!

    8 Bandage Booties And Pumps That'll Have Your Feet Under Wraps!

    Sure, it's always sad to see a once-hot trend overstay its welcome, but the good news is that some of our favorite styles don't necessarily leave the racks forever -- they just migrate to another department! What the Herve Leger bandage dress (or its more affordable counterparts) did for the body, the bandage bootie does for the feet (well, sort of). We won't go as far as describing the footwear trend as "feet-con" in the spirit of "body-con," but the thick-strapped look is similarly sexy in its banded, wrapped-up appearance. Put a sexy spin on the classic Mary Jane with this banded suede pump by Acne, or go strappy (and save!) with a multi-textured gladiator-style heel from Forever 21. Take a look at the slideshow for 8 varied takes on the bandage heel!

    Say It Loud: Got 'Em At Aldo & I'm Proud!

    The days of dreaming about how to get those $600 designer shoes are over. Most of us grew up with brands like Steve Madden and Aldo in our local mall or shopping center. Tried and true, we visited these stores for last-minute parties or a pair of work pumps... but not anymore. These brands have caught all the way up, and now feature designs that are fierce, funky and fabulous. With the economy in such a rough state, money is spread thinly for most. But for us ladies, having an amazing shoe must always be in the budget. With most prices at $100 or less, and styles that rival designer brands, you can two-step in your new shoes all the way to the bank! We love these strappy croc booties, especially at the bargain price of $90! See more fashion, beauty, and style news at Essence.

    Double-Take Designs Have The Swagger Without The Insane Price Tag

    Look fabulous in fast fashion with these mirror-image accessories inspired by a few of the most sought-after trends of this season. Heavy, layered, multi-strand statement necklaces that bring all focus to the neckline are very "in" at the moment and dominated the runway at shows like Lanvin and Burberry Prorsum. Forever 21 captured the essence of the floral fringe necklace with a very inspired look-alike. Not to be outdone by the statement necklace, designers made sure the foundation of every woman's wardrobe, the shoes, also got special attention. At Balenciaga's Resort 2009 collection the shoes were high, super strappy and sexy. Be sure to hit up a Bebe store for a nearly identical pair at a fraction of the price. YSL also gave us something to go-gaga over -- caged booties. Check out Bakers' interpretation and get the runway look for a not-so-runway price! When you're done discount shopping, be sure to check out the Essence blog for more style steals!

    Fall Head Over Heels In Love With Nine West Sandals For Spring!

    image
    Alex Gambardella on Mar 12, 2009 7:27 AM PDT
    I love Nine West. Their shoes are amazingly adorable (for the most part), durable, well-made and - perhaps most important of all though I loathe to admit I need this in a shoe - comfortable. Nine West has done a great job of fusing style and comfort. These are shoes that can be worn to the office, and - if you choose the right ones - likely even worn to walk to and from work as well! They're definitely functional for a night out on the town. That's why I've had my finger on the pulse of West, and was ecstatic when their new line came out for spring: sandals and wedges and strappies, oh my! There are tons of options and this season they've gone a bit more structured with a lot of their sandals - wide heels, sturdier platforms, thicker straps. These are not dainty shoes, folks, and I love them! My favorites are the platforms with straps. These are an emerging trend right now and you can't go wrong. They can be worn with jeans, skirts, office attire, sundresses and much more. So prepare for a fun summer and stock up on your Nine West! See more at TheFind.
