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:

In the spirit of this year’s Olympic Games, we’re taking the colors of the event’s iconic logo as color inspiration!

The five rings and their colors represent the different regions of the planet. For us, it represents the 5 basic colors of dresses that are absolute must-haves in every girl’s closet.

Here are my dress picks (in each color) that are all available at www.missesdressy.com:

BLUE

Alyce Designs 2138 | Jovani 158934 | Sherri Hill 2844

Channel calmness and serenity with blue! The color gives off a cool vibe that’s easy on the eyes. To add to that, blue also symbolizes royalty, so dress like a cool queen in your next event!

YELLOW

Nina Canacci S9189 | Scala Q4109 | Allure 6400

Brighten up your formal outfit with yellow! A vibrant color, yellow is the easiest color on the eyes–so that means it’s one color that will surely have other people’s eyes glued on you!

BLACK

BG Haute F19124 | Mori Lee 9008 | Jovani 71917

The ever-elegant black is your perfect choice for a chic look. Mysterious, sexy, and elegant at the same time, black is every girl’s go-to color.

GREEN

La Femme 17111 | Jolene 12018 | Alexia X024

Symbolizing nature and life, green is the perfect pick if you’re going for an earth-goddess look. Think Tinkerbell!

V-Neck Dresses

What type of neckline do you like when it comes to clothes?  Well if you’re on a night out and want to give of that sexy look and show of some cleavage  then I think v-neck is a perfect choice, you can also show of some legs too.  One dress works both ways = the best choice ever!

Shail K. KK3138

At MissesDressy we don’t only have prom dress looking v-neck styles, we also have casual chic styles like the Shail K. KK3138 above which are perfect to wear on a dinner date, girls night out etc.

Under the Deep Blue Sea

Mermaid-mermaids-8892712-1000-750

Have you ever wished you were a mermaid— elegant, graceful, and mysterious all at the same time? Although you can’t magically transform into one, you can always feel like one! Mermaid dresses available at MissesDressy translate the attributes of a mermaid into dresses. Mermaid dresses hug the curves throughout the body and are made to show off curves; the dress flares out at the knees, creating more curves and making the skirt look like a tail. The following dresses demonstrate the mermaid look with embellished bodices with metallic, scale-like textures. They also range from from high closed necklines to sweetheart necklines, and from strap to strapless.

Do the Polka: Polka Dots & Spots Trend

polka dots

So lately I’ve been all about prints, which isn’t a surprise because last week I was raving about Camouflage: the “tough girl” yet glamorous fashion trending that has been lately gaining a lot of buzz. This week, I been obsessing over something a little more feminine and chic: polka dots! Since I’ve been shopping around, I’ve been noticing them in some pretty crazy places, like jeans and boots! But of course, what is the best way to show off this vintage-looking trend? Beautiful gowns of course! Pictured above is a gorgeous strapless Mori Lee dress in Royal Blue.

From our Editor’s Review:

This cocktail dress has it all! It is fun, flirty, and elegant. The pleated cocktail dress by Terani features a little bit of sparkle.It is topped off by a polka dotted bodice with rosette detailing.

We couldn’t agree more!

Next is another one of my Mori Lee favorites: A Chiffon Strapless Dress by Paparazzi by Mori Lee! I honestly can’t get enough of this dress. I love both of the color combinations, not to mention it’s beaded accents and sweetheart top.

Will you rock the polka dot trend? What’s your favorite way to wear it?

From long and glamorous prom gowns to short and flirty cocktail dresses, Sherry Hill is a leader in evening wear. She’s known for pushing the boundaries, best known for creating pieces covered in sequins and ruffles. MissesDressy is so honored to be an Authorized Retailer for such an amazing company!

Sherri Hill fun fact:

Eight of the Top Ten Miss USA 2009 finishers were wearing a Sherri Hill gown including the winner, Kristen Dalton.

Top Picks for Sherri Hill this Season:

1. This gorgeous sequin covered bodice is a real head turner. We’re loving it for it’s unique mirror-like crystals that cover every inch of the fabric. And because it comes in 10 colors, it’s great because you can easily find a color that matches  your eyes, skin tone, and hair color.

2.  Our second pick is a floor-length strapless gown, which is also covered in sequins. This aqua color is by far the most chic, giving a very mermaid-like vibe!

3. Last but not least is this classic white fitted bodice with cap sleeves. It’s floral beaded appliques add a feminine and romantic touch to such a sexy piece!

Trend Alert: Camouflage Prints!

Camoflage

Ready to embrace Spring 2012’s newest trend? We sure are! We all know that unique prints are everywhere in fashion right now: from shoes, to dresses, even lingerie. Right now, we’re loving camouflage in all forms: metallic, sequined, and colored. It’s a sexy and heavy-duty print that will make any girl stand out from the crowd. Designers that have embraced this trend this season are Sherri Hill of course, Jovani Prom, and Alyce Designs!


This sequined camouflage print by Jovani Prom is our favorite thus far. We love it for it’s strapless sweetheart top and gold color combination. It sparkles from every angle!

 

For something a little less formal, try this short party dress from Sherri Hill. Sherri has always been known for pushing the boundaries in evening wear, and this dress is no exception. With it’s crystallized waistband and one shoulder strap; this dress would definitely be great for evening cocktails or a night out on the top with friends. Sweetheart top once again!

 

Lastly, try the most daring dress of them all. From our editor’s review:

There is no hiding from attention in this dress. This short and sassy camouflage print dress will help you stand out in the crowd. A jeweled, corset-style bodice is accented by a flounce skirt and several layers of contrasting tulle.

We couldn’t agree more! I wanted to put this dress on my body the moment that I saw it. Don’t add any bold accessories with this number- it’s already an eye-catcher on it’s own. Pair it with some simple gold strappy heels and hoop earrings, and you’ll be good to go!

Met Gala 2012 Red Carpet Looks, Matched! (Part One)

featuredimage

We’re sure you’re going crazy over your favorite red carpet looks at the recent Met Gala–and we are, too! So we bring you our part one of our Met Gala celebrity red carpet style matches, all for you to channel, copy, or simply be inspired by!

Scarlett Johansson goes for gold in this embellished off-shoulder gown by Dolce & Gabbana (left). Like her look? Go for Jovani 173314. Its heavy embellishment on the torso and the chiffon skirt closely match Scarlett’s grandiose outfit.

Ashley Greene looked immaculate in her off-white Donna Karan number. What’s great about Ashley’s dress is that though it had no beadwork, the ruched details along the torso give an interesting texture. Channel the same vibe (with less frill on the train) with the 6676 Dress by Alyce Special Occasions.

Emma Stone‘s look by Lanvin was a favorite among fashion critics, and we definitely know why: its girlish charm is just so irresistible! Get that girly glamour with the 2926 Dress by none other than celeb favorite Sherri Hill. It may not have as much embellishments, but it sure has the same fun and flirty feel as Emma’s dress!

Another fashionista favorite, January Jones’ dress by Versace spells style with sophistication, thanks to its perfect silhouette. Jovani lets you achieve the same perfection with its 8872 Dress.

Dianna Agron looked like a true goddess in her Grecian-inspired Carolina Herrera dress. Be your own glam goddess with the 7784 Dress by Jovani Prom, which also has a Grecian feel to it. Want to nail the exact look? Pair it with a thin belt on the waist, just like Dianna did! (Fashion tip: try another color with the black dress–it can give a nice pop of color!)

Hilary Swank looked ravishing in her red dress by Michael Kors. Also having a very feminine and soft look, her outfit gained applause for its subtle glamour (thanks to that luscious deep red color). The 110922 Dress by Mon Cheri Montage has the same vibe. This iridescent silk chiffon dress is the perfect choice if you want to give out that sultry look on your next event.

So there goes part one! Stay tuned for our next Met Ball red carpet matches post here at the MissesDressy Blog.
