Spring -Summer Maxi Trend
The Silver Sequin Dress
Stumped on what to wear to ring in the New Year? Don’t fret, LadyLUX has you covered ... in silver sequins. Taking a style cue from the ball drop itself, if there is ever a year to don metallic, glittery wear, it’s on the night of Dec. 31. From Anna Sui to Alice & Olivia, there are plenty of sparkly numbers that will have you attracting eyes on the dance floor.
Aiden Mattox offers an off-the-shoulder sequin dress. Showing a little skin makes it sassy, but it’s also comfortable in a loose fitting drape, and the sash flatters and cinches the waist. The Cara Sequined Dress by Alice & Olivia is versatile, and its short, straight shape allows it to compliment most body types. Pair it with a nice pair of pumps, and your legs will look miles high as you dance away. One can never go wrong by reinventing a classic. Find your inner flapper with Anna Sui’s embellished holiday dress. The sleeveless mesh dress with feather trim will be the source of champagne chatter. Try it with vintage-inspired hosiery for a real “wow” factor.
Jovani’s Silver Cocktail Dress is all in the details. Arranged like scales, the sequins are artfully placed in an art deco design with nude sheer fabric complimenting the beading. Maybe subtlety is your thing. Brian Lichtenberg’s hooded dress is hip and funky, yet not too casual to wear to a New Year’s Eve party. This piece lets you simultaneously show off the silvery shade and a no-fear approach to fashion in the New Year.
Last but not least, Literature Noir offers a very simple piece for a gal that just wants to sparkle without the fuss of details, edgy design or showing a lot of skin. It’s flirty yet sophisticated in a V-neck cut tank dress. No one will mistake where the party girl is headed when she’s spotted in this sparkling piece.

Nude Maxi Dresses
Let's face it, the maxi isn't going away. Believe me when I say it has just began.
Since ever, the maxi has been a must for black tie events. A lot of beachwear kaftans and coverups are maxis as well. But how can it translate into our everyday life? I don't see it blend in well into an office look - unless you're a fashion magazine editor, perhaps you can try a tailored maxi skirt. Still, for a day out, a weekend, or a dinner party - the maxi dress is your friend.
Alright, so you've decided to go for it, but what color should you choose? What style? The big volume of maxi dresses we see on the streets and in the stores today are either in loud tacky prints, white or black.
So ... banal. Nude color, on the right fabric, will make the outfit look chic and will get you all the right attention. This fact alone turns a simple maxi dress into a statement piece.
For this fall, Alberta Ferretti, Sonia Rykiel, Aquascrutum and Victoria Beckham, all incorporated a nude maxi dress look into their collections. Their looks of coarse are indended for the red carpet and are in the higher price scale, to put it mildly. But fear not, I've made a list of four dresses that will help you achieve the same chic look, but translate it into a more casual price range.

Dream Prom Dresses
When I went to the prom over a decade ago, Marc by Marc Jacobs didn’t exist. Our options were thus: Caché, Jessica McClintock, BCBG and if your mom could afford it, Betsey Johnson. Of course many of us opted for vintage. I, for one, wore a gunmetal gown with a little black cardigan on top, inspired by a Calvin Klein ensemble Gwyneth Paltrow chose for a red carpet appearance in the late 1990s.
But then there’s Steff, who wore Marc Jacobs collection to her prom. (Yeah, that’s right. She wore the dress again last year to the Whitney Art Party. It’s amazing.) Leah spent a pretty penny, but wasn’t as happy with the results. “I bought (what I then considered) a very expensive beaded BCBG gown. I also thought it was the prettiest dress ever,” she says. “Then coming back from a boozy pre-graduation beach week in Delaware (which is some DC schools’ ritual) my friends and I stopped at a Loehmann’s and I bought a slutty, pink postage stamp of a dress for $50 and wore that instead.” Don’t worry though, she wore the pretty BCBG dress to a wedding, and had a fever on prom and went home early so the slutty tube dress didn’t get much play.
But even if we loved our dresses, there are so many amazing options out there now–from Target to Forever 21 to H&M–that we’re pretty sure we could have found something even better if we were graduating in 2011.
Are you going to prom this year? What will you wear? If prom was long ago, what would you choose if you could do it all over again?

Wedding Gown Trends
2011 might seem like a long way off, but bridal gown designers are already hard at work creating the beautiful styles which brides next year will all be coveting. Set to debut in a few months, the first crop of 2011 gowns are embellished with many dimensional details, lots of handstitched crystals, and large floral appliques. Take a sneak peek into the romantic style of the latest wedding gown trends.
For the last few seasons, ruffles have been one of the biggest ways that designers have chosen to add volume and visual interest to their gowns. The bridal gowns which are set to debut soon move away from the ruffle trend, but not from the idea of using embellishments to add volume and femininity. Instead of ruffles, look for gowns with hundreds of tiny three dimensional flowers stitched all over them. Soft petals are another favorite decoration for the romantic gowns for 2011. Oversized clusters of flower "corsages" are another big trend, and they are primarily being used as accents on waistlines or shoulders.
One thing you will not be seeing is a lot of plain dresses or those with simple lines. Asymmetry is still in, both in the form of the one shoulder gown and wedding dresses with asymmetrical draping on the bodice. Very low waistlines are in abundance, and most bodices have ruched, gathered, or draped bodices which hug the figure (the wrapped fabric does a nice job of smoothing over any figure flaws in these tight bodices). Certainly strapless bridal gowns are still a staple, and the one shoulder style is still in style. A new addition to the necklines for 2011 wedding gowns is the tip of the shoulder design which is very slim at the top and just barely grazes the edge of the bride's shoulder. It is a very flattering neckline for many women, and a nice alternative to the more typical strapless wedding dress.
With all the romanticism evident in the upcoming gowns for 2011, don't worry that all the petals and flowers mean less sparkle. You will be seeing Swarovski crystals stitched into the center of tiny floral appliques, as well as larger crystals used to embellish the entire gown, from neck to hem. The difference is in the way the sparkly details are being used: more organically and in clear crystal, rather than the icy silver of mirror backed crystals or rhinestones used to create a defined pattern. This will tie in beautifully with the Swarovski crystal bracelets which are one of the top trends for both 2010 and 2011 brides. Stacks of mismatched Swarovski crystal and pearl bracelets are a modern finishing touch for the romantic gown designs.
It seems as though all of the bridal designers will be crazy for texture in 2011. Not only will gowns soon be gliding down the runway embellished with floral appliques and oversized crystals, but designers are using even more interesting accents to create gowns with dimension. Look for multiple sizes of paillettes being used to create a shimmery, faceted appearance on gowns. (Paillettes are essentially larger and nicer versions of sequins, and they are often drilled at the top instead of the center so they can dangle and move.) Even feathers are making a statement as a trendy bridal gown embellishment. These fantastical details are being added to very soft and romantic fabrics like net, lace, and organza to create gowns which are like something out of a fairy tale. Lucky brides!

Summer Cocktail Dress and tips
A hot summer day, sweltering heat and a party to attend; a situation that needs a perfect dress to help you stay cool. Here are some summer cocktail dresses for you to choose from, for such an occasion.
Every young girl, at some point of time, dresses up in her mother’s high heels, wears her mother’s makeup and trots around the house, ready in her own eyes, to accept any party invite that comes her way.

What we wear in the winter, spring and summer is determined by, definitely the nip in the air and the heat wave but more so by what is in and what is out. So, as the temperature rises and we gulp down glasses of lemonade, what is the prediction for summer cocktail dresses? Here are our top picks as we mark out the best cocktail dresses for summer.
Tips for Cocktail Dresses for Summer
If you are looking out for a summer cocktail dress, then the first thing that you need to keep in mind is to let the dress be simple and well cut. The embellishments on the dress and the accessories you wear need to be determined depending on the time of the day that the party is being held. Given below are some tips that will help you pick out summer cocktail dresses.
* If it is a morning affair, and you are attending a summer wedding, then try and choose cocktail attire for women that will let you be comfortable and let your skin breathe. Avoid complicated straps, sequins, shiny adornments, fabrics like satin, etc. Stick to dresses that are made of a fabric that is summer friendly and more importantly, wrinkle free.
* For evening cocktails, bring out fabrics such as satin, silk, rayon and fine-gauge knits that work very well. A little bit of bling works for evening wear but if this is the case with your dress, then ensure that you do not over-accessorize. Let the prints of the dress be reminiscent of the season that it is being worn in.
* Summer is the season of colors. Ditch the blacks and whites and make new additions to your color palette. Wear a bright summer color like yellow or pink; if colors make you slightly nervous, you can try and experiment with different prints on the dress.
* Focus on your accessories. While matching accessories in shades of the same color as your dress work well, try and experiment with the adornments that you wear and make a statement, for example, if you are wearing a green dress, instead of wearing heels in the same color or plain old black, spice it up with wedges in a canary yellow. But make sure that you are comfortable in whatever you wear.
While choosing cocktail party attire is not a Herculean task, choosing a style that flatters you may test your patience. The next section of this article lists out the different styles of summer cocktails dresses that are in vogue this season.
Summer Cocktail Dresses
One Shoulder Dresses
A one shoulder dress is the perfect way to flaunt well toned arms and to die for collar bones. Try a summer cocktail dress that has either a gathered skirt which flatters someone who does not have a tones belly. If you have a well toned figure, then you could take a leaf out of the books of Hollywood fashionistas and opt for a Goddess dress with a flowing, pleated skirt.
Stretch Side Wrap Dress
The wrap dress has the distinction of being one of the most timeless fashion statements in any woman's wardrobe. Introduced in the 1970's, it was embraced by most celebrities and heralded as the successor to the little black dress. If you are looking for something that will give you the coveted hourglass figure, then a wrap dress in a stretch material in colors like pearl and pastel shades may be the perfect solution.
Cocktail Suit
If you are one of those women, who needs to rush to a cocktail party right from work, then this dress is the answer to your problems. A cocktail suit is more dress than your average business attire and is available in both summer and winter colors. Team it up with a dressy, ruffle top and remove the jacket to make the suit look a little less formal.
Strapped Dress
It is after all summer, and the heat is just a nod to a dress with just-there sleeves. If you can carry off strapped dresses, then this maybe one of the perfect summer cocktail dresses for you. Let the upper body of the dress hug your curves and let the skirt of the dress either be cut in an A-line or a full bodied, flowing skirt. We suggest that you go easy on the embellishments but if you want to add glitter and glimmer to the dress, then the accessories need to be subtle.
Sheath Dress
This is one of those summer cocktail dresses which is strictly for those who have a perfect 10 figure, thanks to its design which demands a tight fit to the body. But this is a dress which is perfect for summers because of the light fabrics that it is generally made off. You can opt for a strapped or a strapless sheath dress.
These were just a few options for summer cocktail dresses. If you are worried about the money that you may need to shell out on these dresses, do not get perturbed. There are several cheap summer cocktail dresses available at shops that have vintage clothes or fashion knockoffs. All you need to do is decide on the style that suits you and flaunt it at the next cocktail party you attend.
