Styling it Right!
Let's style these dresses up from morning to night - switching it up with accessories & shoes!
These dresses can also carry into other seasons - the loveliest thing about them!

Kingston Road Dress
Another lovely thing about this dress, it's on sale. Check the store now to get ahold of it's newly reduced price. The colors on this are beautiful like a sorbert goodness! The yellows and pinks are ideal for summer and

For Work & Play: Lovely with gold jewelry, metallic gold flats, and or gold hoop earrings.
Going Out: Dress it up with heels, stilletos, or wedges in cork, or brown in color.
Wear into the fall ... with a cropped dark/light denim jacket. Lovely with black tights and a black cropped jacket when it gets really cold.

En Plein Air
 Floral designs are big right now! This has a unique pattern to it looking like a water color masterpiece worn by moi!

For work & play: Another dress that looks conceptually amazing with gold jewelry. Very flattering with a embellished bib necklace that stays tight up at the neck - as long as it falls directly over the high neck of the dress, you have the concept down. As long at it flows and doesn't over power but flows with the dress itself complementing in color or hue with the lovely colors that we have in this pattern. Anything gold, solid in color, or festive brights will do just for starters.
Going Out: Dress this up for the night with Michael Kors heels which usually have gold embellishments, keep the necklace on from work or switch it out with an embellished necklace suitable for a dinner party. Pop on pink lipstick! And Voila!
Wear into the fall...a long brown or black jacket, anything of a bold solid bright color will also do for this dress. Add your own style to it by adding a cropped jacket, a long jacket, and tights with or without design.

Mompos Dress
This vintage inspired dress with a girly empired bow to tie at the waist is very flattering and has it's unique gorgeous appeal. I love the red glasses that Anthropologie tied into flowing with the dress.

For work & play: Red adds a nice touch to this neutral colored dress. Try adding a cute little red floral pin to the bow or a few making a collage effect around the waist line demanding attention to the slim part of your body, which is very flattering. Red flats would be nice to add if you're working at your desk all day. Required to wear heels to work or don't wear anything but? Add a cute pair of high red wedges in the mix, or wedges in general giving an elongated style to it - with the high heels and high waist - making your body look longer than it is.
Going out: We have touched base on red now let's add accessories. The embellished necklace can come into play again here since this dress has a high neck. Big stud earrings will do the trick. Keep them close to your ear, no chandelier earrings with this one as the neck is already high. Think Audrey Hepburn. Classy diamond studs - big ones! Or in pearl. Pearls would absolutely be suitable with this.
For the fall...add a cute red jacket to it for fun, a pearl tone jacket to it for dressy attire, and a denim jacket for a weekend out on the town.

Approaching Blue Dress
Approaching Blue is a dress you don't have to do much to to make a statement. This dress is gorgeous on it's own. With that being said let's make simple touches here and there for work, going out, and carrying it into the fall.

For work & play: Add a brooch to the spot were the collar meets the waist line. Add a bracelet and big earrings, no necklace for this one.
Going Out: Fierce black stilletos will dress this one right up! Keep the big bracelet and earrings.
For the fall...Add a long cashmere black jacket. One that does not button but simply drapes along the sides of the dress showing it off in the front still revealing the front of this lovely dress.
