Best of the best: Cannes fashion wrap up


We're so disappointed that this 11 day fashion fest film festival ended yesterday. Every day during the prestigious event we looked forward to waking up and seeing who wore what on the red carpet!

Dress of the Day: Gabby Bubble Dress


houseofspy bubble dressWe tucked away the color purple, along with My Little Pony and mermaids, when we graduated from elementary school.

However, with purple a prominent color on designers' palettes this season (is that too much alliteration for a Sunday morning?), we've been paying closer attention to it and its many shades. We love the Gabby Bubble Dress, which is simply identified as "purple," but is really a lighter lilac in our eyes. The dress with the subtly bubble silhouette comes from House of Spy, the line from former biology student Wendy Wong. The fabric is 70% silk, 30% cotton, and 100% made for late Spring. The halter strap is detachable.

Available from Revolve Clothing for $187.

Fall 2008 Beauty Trend: Gray and Purple Eyes

Fall 2008 Beauty Trend: Gray/ Purple Eyes
I hate to be cliché and trust me I want to start smacking people around when I hear stuff like this but -- gray is the new black for Fall 2008. MAC's Trend Spot write up during New York Fashion Week declared that purple and gray are the colors to have your eyes this coming Fall.

If you want to capture this trend here are some great products for you:

NARS Single Eye Shadow: NARS makes a great eye shadow, I don't know why I don't use it more. The color always goes on strong and has nice staying power. This color is perfect for Fall 2008 because it's a combination of the two hottest shades for beauty ... gray and purple.

Bare Escentuals Wearable Eye Kit - Meet The Stones This kit by Bare Minerals has all the gray eye shadow that you will ever need. If for some reason these colors don't work for you, try mixing and matching to achieve your perfect shade of gray.

DuWop Gray Eyes I love DuWop's eyeshadow kits ... mostly because they are super cute. This kit is perfect for getting your perfectly gray, perfectly smokey eye for Fall 2008.

Sephora Brand Enchanted Eye Palette - Plum
I am a sucker for an eye palette, you get all you need and more in one neat little package. This palette will be your best friend in Fall 2008 because grays and purples are the "it" thing to have in your make up bag.

Urban Decay Matte Eyeshadow If you want color that goes on just like you see it in the container then Urban Decay is perfect for you. When I was in high school I bought a bright blue (I was in high school remember) from Urban Decay and that sucker went on bright! Probably a bit too bright for the way I was applying it but still.

Shoes of the Day: Gucci Eva Platform Pumps

gucci eva platform pumpsWith a 1" platform, the Gucci Eva Pumps will only feel like a moderate 3" heel, but will give you the long, lean height of a 4" heel. A wing-tip design at the squared-off toe and heel is made of dark plum-colored leather over a black suede upper. The shoes have a thin ankle strap with the signature Gucci horsebit design as buckle to keep the shoes on your pretty little feet. These shoes are made to wear with a menswear-inspired outfit, like a tweed shift and opaque tights.

Available from Bluefly. On sale today for $406.

Dress of the Day: Rachel Pally One Sleeve Dress

rachel pally one sleeve dress in amethystThis week, we're looking at party dresses -- whether you're hosting a cocktail party at home, heading out for a wild night of dancing, or waltzing into a black-tie ball with your beau.

Yes, we realize you probably overdid the eating over the weekend, Christmas Eve, and Christmas day. Don't worry, drink a lot of water to flush out your system, and you'll be able to slip into this Rachel Pally One Sleeve Dress for that comfortably (somewhat) casual cocktail party. The dress is made of jersey, so it's forgiving, but of course, that means it will also give way to every curve and bump on your body. Wear amethyst if you were nice at the dinner table, and black if you were naughty.

Available from Shopbop for $198.

Dress of the Day: Shelly Steffee Slip Dress

shelly steffee slip dressIt really is daring to wear a slip dress during the Holidays, not because it's risque but because it's cold outside!

Shelly Steffee's Slip Dress isn't just a slip dress, it really looks and feels like nothing more than a slip! However, the bright, shiny of-the-moment purple color (it also comes in standard, black, white, a fuschia and royal blue) is so perfect for an evening Holiday gathering. Just make sure to slip into a pair of warm tights and throw on a (faux) fur stole.

The Shelly Steffee Slip Dress is available from Shopbop for $240.

Dress of the Day: Elijah Sleeveless Tie Dress

elijah sleeless tie dressIt's time to start thinking about all those Holiday parties coming up, isn't it?

Since jewel tones are big this season and they're a perennial choice for Holiday dressing, the Sleeveless Tie Dress by Elijah is a natural, especially since it's also purple. Oddly enough, the eggplant colored dress is made of 100% cotton, though it's got a sheen to it. The gathered neckline ties around the neck, halter-style, and features a sexy keyhole opening in the back. We're thinking a giant-jewel accented sandal as the perfect pair for this dress.

Available from Neiman Marcus for $265.

Dress of the Day: Nanette Lepore Printed Minidress

nanette lepore printed minidressIt's all about purple this season, and I am a little bit at a loss because, well, purple is fairly aggressive color for someone like me whose entire wardrobe is varying shades of neutrals.

However, Nanette Lepore's Printed Minidress is not to miss. The rayon/silk blend dress is a violet color, and is subtly printed with a Baroque design. Carrying the Baroque theme, the V-neckline is shaped, and the long sleeves feature ruffles at the cuffs. The shape of the bodice almost reminds me of a kimono, with its high waist and gathering.

The dress is available from Neiman Marcus.

Dress of the Day: Wren Clothing

wren clothingLike yesterday's gold turtleneck minidress from Christian Weber, today's Dress of the Day comes from a relatively fresh face in fashion as featured last Friday at GenArt's fashion show in Los Angeles - Wren Clothing.

With shades of purple a key color for fall, the deep, royal purple minidress with patch pockets in front is perfect as we head into cold weather. You can throw a coat over the short, banded puff sleeves, and to make it even warmer, take a cue from the model and add some thick black tights.

I haven't been able to find any online sources for purchasing Wren Clothing, but it available at Opening Ceremony in both New York and Los Angeles.

Head-to-Toe: Shop purple at Bluefly sale

head to toe purpleToday seems to be the big blowout day for sales at online retailers. Bluefly is offering an additional 20% off their already marked down prices on designer apparel, shoes, and accessories. We headed over to take a peek, and put together an entire outfit - in honor of the man who let's us party every New Year's Eve like it's 1999, purple.

Sunglasses - Designer sunglasses all run up past $200, but these rhinestone logo glasses by Armani are down to $91.99. Thankfully, they also don't go too overboard on size.

Jewelry - Julie Sandlau makes pretty, feminine jewelry. Her Polygon Briolette earrings dangle an interesting gold shape and feature a tiny sparkling smoke grey briolette on 14 kt gold. The earrings were $255 and are now only $81.59.

Dress - Yes, it's sleeveless, and yes, it's short, but that's what sweaters are for. Tufi Duek's button tie-dress is too cute to pass up in a plum grey satin. The dress buttons down the front from a sweetheart neckline into a dropwaisted, full, flirty skirt that has an eyelet hem. The dress was originally $576, on Bluefly for $345, and is now $276.
