Spring Soiree Style

{ Cult Gaia }

The inspiration for this post was the Oscars. The fashion this year was exceptional. It was hard to pick a favorite, though Zoe Saldana's was the most unique IMHO. This event edit is for your own spring soirees. You'll make the best dressed guest list with any one of these chic choices. There's a style for every budget.

Self Portrait Polk Dot Midi

A shining example of just how cute polka dots can be this spring. It's $655 but with Code: FASHION you will save $100 through March 5th.

Neiman Marcus

Ashere Metallic Knit Dress
Love this look! There was quite a few waist/hip swags like this at the Oscars. It must be flattering. Looks more than the $298 price tag.

De La Vali Lucho Maxi

Sophisticated and sexy in silk chiffon. Loving the chocolate mousse coloring. $625

Wedding Wednesday: What To Wear To A Spring Wedding

Day Dressing At It's Best!

{ Via: The Zoe Report }

Today's post is inspired by Saturday's Royal Wedding, where the parade of fashion was simply fabulous! Have you ever seen such lovely looks? And if you noticed, everyone was smiling and actually looked happy.  Chic clothing makes me happy, too. It's a sad fact, that we just don't often see well dressed people like those gathered for the wedding. Tom Ford states:  "Dressing well is a form of good manners." That was one well behaved crowd.  Here's how you can be well mannered and dressed by day.

The little ones at the royal wedding, were just adorable. So we begin with a lovely feminine dress with a sash and some sass. Done in the palest of blue, this is a beauty.
