A sophisticated NYE

I will be hunted down by every single fashionista in the world for saying this, but what's better than black for New Year's Eve?

The refinement, the mystery, the seductive allure a black gown will give its wearer on the magical nights between the years cannot be replaced by any other color (or non-color, to be more precise) in the entire spectrum.

In addition to the guaranteed classiness, a black dress, be it a LBD or a full on glamorous gown, will be so easy to accessorize and you won't have to be afraid the perfect matching shoes won't be available.

I've found yet another wonderful selection of black prom dresses at my favorite prom shop, DressesStylist.

This embellished LBD reminds me of Black Swan, played by Natalie Portman. It's cute, yet seductive, and it's already filled with gorgeously laced stones, perfect to add emphasis to the cleavage and waist areas.

The length is cheeky, but acceptable and the ruffled lace adds a very young element to the piece.

Add silver sandals, like the model, for a very chic effect!

A much more grown up piece, this black lace maxi dress is a very sober  appearance, yet enveloped in mystery thanks to the lace draping.

The bust overlay is gorgeous, with lace insert to make this piece irresistible and the bare back adds a lot of sensuality.

Again, a very easy piece to pair with most colors. I would recommend nude shoes and a vibrant lip color. Something not so easy to forget!

Talking again about lace overlay. This time in a more provocative manner with this sequined mini dress covered in draped lace.

The bodycon dress features a very sexy transparent lace overlay that adds refinement and another dimension to an otherwise night out dress, making it the perfect choice for the New Year's Eve party.

The gemstone belt frees you from having to add too many accessories and lets you concentrate on what really matters: having the time of your life.

A bla(n)c(k) canvas this one is (pun intended!!)!

This one shoulder stunner is perfect for those that feel the need to adorn themselves with a variety of statement pieces. From necklaces to bracelets to earrings, everything works with this dress.

Mix and match with a pair of black stilettos and the world is your oyster, nothing will be too much for this gorgeous piece and you will surely guarantee for such an amazing night.

The 5 styles of Christmas gowns

We’re getting closer and closer to that time of the year, when gift shopping becomes a priority and choosing the perfect outfit for the Christmas party an essential part of our lives.

Because I don’t want you to struggle, I’ve carefully selected 4 gorgeous dresses from DressesStylist  in the most gorgeous shades of red.

The grown-up, yet sexy dress is for those who want to show Santa how much they've matured since last Christmas. 

The cut highlights long legs and works well with either tanned or Snow White legs.

My perfect choice of accessories would certainly be something with big decadent black stones, more exactly in the form of either a bracelet or a statement ring, perfect to compliment the already existing accessory of the dress.

My favourite dress in the entire collection, this luxurious red gown flows straight to the floor in silk waves, guaranteed to make you an absolutely gorgeous entrance.

The detachable cape adds a note of mystery to an already royal dress, making it a great choice for the Christmas Ball.

Keep it simple and accessorize with a pair of silver or red (in the same tone) stilettos to keep that majestic appearance.

It might be winter and it might be cold, but strapless dresses will always be the thing to go for girls with well toned arms and to die for cleavages.

My personal favourite from the short dress selection is this very cute red dress, embellished with a big gorgeous bow and very detailed lace.

Pair this with golden or silver jewelry and you're guaranteed to make a classic statement for this year's party.

Decadence, decadence and a bit more decadence! Be the beauty of the night with this stunning red sequin maxi dress.

Be inspired to look like a modern day version of Jessica Rabbit with a dress that's made to show off! Choose to show or stay hidden with a very subtle slit along the left leg and also shine with a lovely silver design.

Special tip? Let your hair flow in wavy curls and wear no accessories for a Blake Lively inspired outfit, or go full-elegant with a classic up-do and a statement neckline necklace.

Now, in the end, I'd like to recommend a gorgeous mermaid inspired dress with an attached floral bolero. Choose to follow trends in a very subtle way and impress everyone at the party.

Yet another dress that works amazingly well on its own without the need of any accessories.

Choose to wear it with a romantic up do for a very sophisticated appearance. Add a pair of small earrings, preferably with a deep red ruby as the stone.

I hope you've enjoyed this selection of red prom dresses and stay tuned for the upcoming selections!

Feel like a princess

You all know how in love I am with very feminine dresses and how irresistible I find very sparkly dresses (yes, I am still a little girl with a tiara in my heart). And you also know that I will find any reason whatsoever to find an occasion to find frilly frocks and embroidered gowns.

So if you are anything like me, you will fall in love with the eye candy I have prepared for you. Just be warned, they are advertised as prom dresses Canada  on PickedDresses , but you will see how easy they would work even for a night on the red carpet.

1.       Hollywood

Yes, I admit it! I would certainly want to walk in any of these 3 dresses on a red carpet, together with A-list celebrities. They are so luxurious and have a very “designer” vibe to them

1   //   2   //   3

2.       A dream in silk

How else would you imagine a goddess if not in long layered silk in sumptuous pastels? Go with one covered shoulder for the Greek look or opt for a heart cleavage to emphasize your neckline.

1   //   2   //   3

3.       Retro

Think old school movies, think Scarlet O’Hara, think elegance and glamour. These dresses have a very clean cut and are amazing with a variety of silhouettes.

4.       The short version

Well, princess or no princess, but I sure like my fair share of short dresses. A tip? Always emphasize the waist, it will add a dose of glam to any outfit.

1   //   2   //   3

5.       Embellished

Bling, bling, bling and some more bling! If you play your cards right, your pretty embellished dress will become a style statement. Choose from the two subtly decorated ones or jump straight into a heavily decorated mermaid dress so you’re sure to make an impression.

6.       The princess edition

Do I need to say anything about this?! *Bring me my tiara!*

1   //   2   //   3

7.       The very sophisticated

And in the end, these are some absolutely gorgeous dresses, not forgiving on lots of silhouettes, but very sumptuous and absolutely to die for! (Pick your favourite because I couldn’t decide!!)

But where do you go and what do you choose? What cut? What length? What color?!

Wait, don’t fret! I’m here to help you! Over the next month I’ll be focusing on evening gowns ( easy to wear as prom dresses too!) and the color range suitable for each event!

Nothing makes you look more like an adorable snowflake than these gorgeous short A-line dresses.  The cut choice is very flattering for almost everyone and the length is perfect for both a more sophisticated house party and that charity gala you’ve always dreamed of attending.

If you have long, amazing legs, this is the perfect selection for you! These dresses give you the option to highlight your best asset, either by showing them off with a glowing new tan or by hinting at them in a very stylish manner from underneath a gorgeous blue taffeta trumpet dress.

3.       Frozen extraordinaire!

1  //   2   //   3

Everyone is absolutely in love with Disney’s Frozen this year, and for good reason! The heartwarming animation not only has an amazing love story in the center of it, but the cartoonists and designers work wonders in creating an amazing range of character dresses. Elsa, to be more precise, had a stunning presence throughout the movie and the main dress, the “frozen blue” one might just as well transform her into a fashion icon. So why not step into Elsa’s shoes and go for a brilliant long blue gown for these holidays?

    Stylist’s choice: If you want to have a very sophisticated presence at this year’s ball, be it for Christmas or New Year’s Eve, I would suggest going along the lines of the two dresses bellow. The first one is a very classy choice, with the filigree beading on the middle section and shoulder lapels, while the second is a more daring, red-carpet appropriate gown for when you want to make an entrance!

In the end, it’s all about what makes you look good and feel good! The entire blue prom dresses range at DressesStylist is to die for, as far as I see it and everything will make you look like a modern Elsa!
