The glam rock look never goes out of style, it just gets better and better every time.  Through its entrance to the fashion industry, rock has evolved from being a musical type to a lifestyle, as best exemplified by fashion icon (and my personal fave) Kate Moss.

To achieve the rockstar glamazon look, merely wearing lots of black and leather just ain’t enough–accessorizing is a must! And the best accessories that match and contrast against all that black are silver and gold.

That’s why were so psyched about the Laundry’s jewelry line. They’ve successfully combined gold chains with silver ones to create the hottest accessories a fashionista can get her hands on! Here are some pieces from the collection, which we have in store at MissesDressy.com:

Thanks to the styling genius of Patricia Field (Sex And The City), career women of the 21st century are even more stylish now more than ever.  Power dressing has made an incredible turn from “business blah” to “fabulously fierce.”  Still having that no-nonsense attitude, women’s power dressing has greatly evolved into something that captures the working woman’s essence in conquering the world and looking fabulous while doing it.

When we say that MissesDressy has got it all for you, we mean it!  Not only do we have dresses for parties and formal events, we’ve also got power dresses for all the  independent women out there.  Featured on this post are designs by none other than Theia Couture–a label named after the Greek goddess of light (how fitting!).

Choosing the proper attire as a guest in a wedding is quite tricky. But at least these two things are non-negotiable: propriety and style.

As a guest you should respect the grandeur and significance of the event for the couple, and you should reflect this in your appearance. Denim and shirts are obviously a no-no –marriage is never an informal affair after all. Of course, you must also avoid uber revealing dresses and ultra bold colors or white to not pull attention away from the main characters.

As for style, allow MissesDressy.com to help you out.

For an outdoor wedding, like in a garden or a vineyard, choose dresses in pastel colors and in soft materials. One could also opt for a lively color if the wedding is in the early afternoon. Bright colors are perfect for pictures when under the sunshiny skies. Style your hair in romantic curls and your face with natural make-up. Keep the accessories to the bare minimum to avoid clashing accents with the color of your dress.

Morning – Afternoon – Evening Outdoor Wedding Dresses

Indoor weddings are usually more formal and held in smaller venues so try not to standout yet exude glamour with deep and gem tones. Add a little shimmer under the unnatural lighting through accessories with stones or sequins. Do a sleeker hairstyle, and choose between dramatic eyes or bold lips for the face.

Morning – Evening Indoor Wedding Dresses

Beach weddings are also a hit nowadays. Prints in muted colors are fine as well as flowing sheer dresses. Keep the formality of the look with chunky accessories. Choose flat strappy sandals with gems or beads to stay comfortable but still stylish. Tie up the hair to avoid having it in your face. Pinkish blushing cheeks and a little shimmer on the skin will look best in photos.

Morning – Afternoon Beach Wedding

It’s best that you take thoughtful consideration of the attire requirements stated in the invitation and that you look-up the wedding ceremony and reception venue online in order to decide on the proper wedding guest dresses for you. Remember you will honor the couple not only with your cheerful attendance but with your obvious respect.

Prom has been – and probably always will be – depicted as an event brimming with girls wearing sweet princess gowns or elegant cutout dresses. But what about the edgy type of girls? Just imagine how frustrating it can be to be left out of something that’s  supposed to be one of the highlights of your high school years.

You might gripe about how edgy girls don’t care about prom, but that doesn’t hold true for all the edgy girls out there. Some of them want to attend prom, just not in a fluffy pink, meringue type of dress. If you’re reading this, you’re probably an edgy girl yourself  so without further ado, here are prom dress suggestions and tips to help you out.

Wear all black with silver details like a dangling pair of earrings and multi-strand silver chain necklace. Instead of wearing stilettos, opt for a knee-high lace up boots and rock it with a pair of fingerless gloves encrusted with gems. Hey, you can even DIY the gem-encrusted fingerless gloves!

Give it a bit of color even if it is a rich color such as this vampy red dress. Accessorize with lace fingerless gloves, cuff bracelet, stud earrings, and a chunky necklace, or however you want.

If you’re really adamant on not wearing a long dress, go for a cocktail dress. Again, try to add even just a bit of color to your ensemble to spice things up.

Prom isn’t just for the girly girl. It just so happens that the event is a perfect excuse to get all dolled up. Remember as well that it is not hard to put together a prom look that rocks your boat. You just have to have an open mind and a bit of imagination, and this applies to every girl; princess-y and edgy rockers alike.

Not only the story of fairy tale that has the happily ever after ending, we believe that tartan (or plaid), polkadot, houndstooth, and argyle still going to be the “it” pattern every now and then. Let’s look at the journey of these patterns…

Tartan (or Plaid)

Tartan is a legacy of the history of Scotland since the 16th century, which has become the identity of the state. In those days, tartan belong to the luxury fashion items and not everyone can wear them. In fact, the size the horizontal and vertical lines as well as different colors symbolizes the social status. At the beginning, the pattern was only worn by men or the Scottish Highlanders to distinguish between family clans. However, since Queen Victoria visited Scotland and was wearing a tartan for her activities there, tartan eventually became popular among women and an inspiration to many designers in their collections. These days the mixture colors are not only red, black, and dark green, but with a lot more varieties.

 Polkadot

Who does not know this lovely pattern? Although it has been known since ages ago, the origin of this pattern remains a mystery. Some events was expected as  the birth of polkadot, such as the polka dance in America brought by an immigrant from Eastern Europe, polkadot on Minnie Mouse’s outfit is iconic and is becoming increasingly popular thanks to the song “Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polkadot Bikini ‘”.

Houndstooth

Houndstooth has several times become a trend, especially in the 1930′s, 1970′s and early 2000. In the 1950′s, it became the most popular pattern among men and enlivened the runway in 2008 with a collection of Marc Jacobs and in 2009 with a collection of Alexander McQueen. Even today we can also find houndstooth on some accessories such as shoes, scarves and clutch.

Socks and sweaters are the two items are identical fashion with this pattern. Argyle is a pattern that resembles a diamond or rhombus shape in layers. The origin of this pattern is quite mysterious. Based on the story, Argyle was born from a group of men who live in the western region of Scotland called Argyll. There, they cut their tartan cloth to cover their feet and the pieces formed Argyle pattern, that was how socks with this pattern created for the first time.

Argyle is one of the pattern which have become the hallmark of the high end brand, Pringle of Scotland. According to the rumors, this brand was the pioneer of Argyle patterned sweaters in the 1920′s. In America, this pattern was starting to become a fashion trend when the label owner of Brooks Brothers took home Argyle patterned piece of cloth and began to produce from 1949 until now. Argyle’s popularity even more uphill when the teens and adults wear it to look preppy.

Still not convinced that fuchsia is the latest color trend?

Chanel even made “Fuchsia Office: Chanel Fall/Winter 2011 Haute Couture”, and Oscar de la Renta’s  sequin dress looks more playful with a blend of pink ribbon at the waist.
Women with dark skin or pale skin will look all glowing in fuchsia.

Styling fuchsia?
The trick to wearing fuchsia is subordinate alloy top with neutral colors and without excessive detail. Choose items with classic pieces like a straight skirt from Chanel, or a pair of straight pipe pants from Emilio Pucci. Molly Sims nailed this look, combining her fuchsia pants with a plain black long-sleeve t-shirt. For casual or vacation, you can select maxi skirt as worn by Solange Knowles. Emma Stone is definitely our favorite! Who knew bright red long sleeve t-shirt and fuchsia peplum skirt will look so gorgeous!
Sexy, Naughty, Fuchsia?
Fuchsia is no longer synonymous with a “childish” color. Want sexy style? Check out Rossie Hutington’s high slit maxi dress for a cocktail party, or Emma Stone’s mini dress with sabrina neckline.
Selena Gomez’s dress is gorgeous for a wedding reception or any other  formal events. Combine with simple accessories and choose neutral colors like gold, silver or black.
