FRESH AND EASY!








You know what? We're over it. Through. It seems as if everywhere you look, rather than focus on innovations in technique and craft, designers are leaning too heavily upon embellishments. sice when did notions and trim become acceptable crutches to bear? and look, we love a little bling as much as the next girl, these days you can't swing a Fendi purse without hitting some girl in a metallic mini and an ankle bootie. Sheesh.
So, we're taking it back to basics. Back to the poached egg of clothing cuisine: the little black dress. Remember how effortlessly chic Sophia coppola was on the red carpet in Alaia? she outshown actresses gussying it up in floor length gem encrusted gowns fo' sho.
It goes without saying that the LBD is one of the top 5 must haves in every gal's closet(LBD, trench, crisp white button down shirt, black patent leather heels, pencil skirt) and this season, we think it's your best investment as well.

**Lanvin gathering black matte silk LBD. Approximately a size 4/6 and priced at $525.
