Spring 2013‘s hot new trend proves to be quite a surprise as it celebrates the contrast between black and white instead of colorful pastels. As seen in the runways of Marc Jacobs, Alexander Wang, Jason Wu, and Jil Sander, black and white pieces reign supreme above Easter-egg hues that most of us associate with the season.

Ever see a celebrity look that makes you want to run out and do serious retail damage? We know the feeling and in a effort to make your shopping experience easier, we’ve assembled style matches of the hottest Hollywood stars! Grab inspiration from some of your faves and find out how to get the look here!

Zooey Deschanel

The  actress slash indie singer looks just darling in this polka dot dress. Blending well with her quirky style, it shows off her curves without being too skimpy.

Get the look with this sleek polka dot cocktail dress by Sherri Hill.

Ashley Greene

The Twilight star shined on the red carpet with this pink, strapless number. The gather at the waist creates a great sihouette and the ruffles down her leg are a fun touch!

Get the look with this light pink Jovani gown. The shoulder baring dress possesses a similar waist gathering, for close twin look.

Jennifer Lopez

Ms. Ageless herself looks hot in this short blue cocktail dress. Aside for the gorgeous color it fits her like a glove, showing off her infamous figure.

Get the look with this similar style by Scala. Lending to the cocktail dress worn by J.Lo, this dress also has spunk and flair.

Isla Fisher

The always hilarious actress looks radiant in a red lace dress. If this isn’t style motivation, I’ve never seen it! The plunging neckline and neat band around the waist make this short dress perfection.

Get the look with this lacy number by Tadashi. With the same plunging neckline, this gown also exudes a classic look.

Leslie Mann

No matter the occasion Mann always looks phenomenal and this red carpet look is no different. The embellished navy dress falls beautifully on her and screams chic sophistication.

Get the look with this style match by Rina Dimontella. From the sweetheart neckline to the cinch at the waist this dress is a close twin.

Fall 2012 calls for us to be sultry and mysterious with the hottest color of the season, oxblood. Others refer to it as chianti, while it’s burgundy for some; but we’d like to stick to its oxblood monicker as it perfectly captures its hot but elegant appeal.

Oxblood on the runways

A perfect mix of red and purple (which is, by the way, another hot color for Fall), oxblood goes with everything. You can even wear it from head-to-toe (as pictured above).

As summer comes to a close, it’s time to update your wardrobe for fall! Here are a few oxblood dresses that are available in our online shop to fill your closet with:

We here at MissesDressy are feeling especially summery today. Some may say it’s due to the TGIF in all of us, or because it is finally Floral Friday! All season long floral prints have been a hot trend from pants to dresses. And with summer slowly winding down, we must get the last of our picks in before fall. Take a look at a few of our favorites!

Pants

The floral pant in particular has been a big staple this summer. Celebrities like Vanessa Hudgens, Olivia Palermo, and Rihanna have all been spotted sporting the look. It can be dressed up or down, but no matter the top they add a certain spice to any outfit.

Dresses

Nothing says whimsy like a floral dress! Sometimes daring, but always dainty they certainly scream summer. We even had a few in our Short Dress Must-Haves line-up. Celebrities like Kiera Knightly, Kate Beckinsale, Alice Eve look dazzling in the look!

MissesDressy also has a fair share of flowery fun. Check out our favorites!

Joan of Arc gets resurrected this fall season with chain mail dresses! The iconic heroine inspired designers to make their dresses fierce with head-to-toe silver and loads of chain details.

And we thank the heavens for giving our fashion visionaries such a delightful inspiration! Now we can channel our inner warrior through splendidly-designed dresses. Feeling the divine inspiration yet? Here are a few of my favorite Joan of Arc-inspired dresses that are available nowhere else but at our online shop:
