Reader Request: Ashlee R. Needs Afternoon Wedding Dresses Under $100

Today's Reader Request is something we can all relate to. I don't know how many times a wedding/soiree invite has snuck up on me and I'm scrambling around to find something to wear. Really, it happens pretty often. I usually just piece something together in haste and some of my fave ensembles have been created that way. 

Today's request is hailing from my gorgeous glamazon cousin Ashlee. She literally turns every head and stop people dead in their tracks with her beauty. She had a little sweet baby girl recently so I'm sure she's looking forward to some adult/alone time with the hubby at these wedding events. What a special occasion to scoop up a new dress and look dazzling, right? Here's what I heard from Ashlee:

Hi RWD! 

Looking at your latest post on Glam's line (HERE) I realized that I'm going to need some help! I've got a rehearsal dinner & wedding to attend in 2 weeks, & need some ideas for a few cute dresses that are appropriate for my tall, post-baby body! (FYI, the wedding is at 4pm & in a church). 

Something colorful and it doesn't matter if it's print or solid...florals can't be too tiny since I'm not. No lacy stuff, puffy sleeves or anything too "girlie" as that looks bad on me with my height. Would love it if you could help! 

Love you bunches, Ash

We've exchanged a few more emails so that I could get a firm sense of what she's looking for and where her budget restrictions might fall. I've rounded up some absolutely amazing dresses below. This took some serious digging and research but I'm certain she'll find two adorable, pretty and perfect frocks for both occasions. 

Thanks for this amazing request Ashlee because as wedding season is in full throttle, we know other readers are needing the same information. We can't wait to hear how you're online shopping trip goes, Ashlee and of course, we hope we were a huge help! PS - Also think about adding a great scarf, soft cardigan or structured bolero to any of the sleeveless dresses below when attending the wedding.

Do you have a Reader Request you're dying to ask? Email us at RunwayDaily@RunwayDaily.com and maybe you're request will grace the pages of this site. Enjoy!

How to Wear It: Cuffed Skinny Jeans à la Isabel Marant

Today we're displaying some great images from Isabel Marant's fall 2010 collection. Marant is a genius and her collection was chock-full of the adorable 50's era rolled up/cuffed to the mid calf skinny jeans. Paired with some great pieces and stunning accessories, we're going to dissect my top five looks from her runway show. Then we have some great versions for you to start sporting all spring/summer long. 

Then these skinny cuffs will be your fave go-to transitional piece for next season (fall/winter) when you can pair them with those lust-worthy KEDS and the perfect jean jacket. One thing's certain, this piece is one that every fashionista needs to own. Don't think just because you have a great pair of baggy boyfriend cuffed jeans that you're off the hook. These are skinny, tapered, figure flattering and adorable. Read on, readers.

Images from HERE and Click to Enlarge

Paired with a great button down, metallic belt and camel coat (a Tim Gunn Top Ten HERE)...these dark/black skinnies look supremely sophisticated and ready for anything. Like we've mentioned before HERE, pointy toed pumps are back and Marant's pairing just screams 50's babe.

Mmmmm, you know I'm a sucker for an oversize and chunky fur piece HERE so it should come as no surprise that this look grabbed my attention. The dark denim cuffed cuties look so chic paired with a soft silk floral print blouse and this oversized fur jacket. Keeping the accessories simple with long earrings and a few bangles, this look rocks!

I love to see red, black and white paired together. It never gets old to me. This lightweight dotted blouse and black skinnies paired with a white belt and red pointy toed kicks looks so dead-on. I also want to point out that gorgeous velvet blazer because we've always told you HERE that velvet is all the rage for this fall/winter.

Why not opt for complete glam in your cuffed skinnies! Love this metallic wrapped bustier paired with black skinnies, black heels and long metallic earrings. Hair pulled back and subtle makeup allows the silhouette to really do all the showing off.

I'm drawn again to some red stripes (just like we pointed out HERE at Alexander Wang) and have to say this is my fave of the five. How sporty, spunky, fun and colorful is this ensemble? That metallic bomber is to die for and the cuff bracelet and long, dangly earrings take the look from casual to chic in such little effort. Adore this!

Wanting/Wishing/Wearing: Military Inspired Jackets for 2010 and My Top 5 Under $100

Jacket Round-up from the Spring 2010 Runway Shows:

Aquilano Rimondi

Love this look because I adore all white ensembles and I love how the nude peep-toe booties and strong black belt are unexpected additions. That fluttery skirt paired with that structured military jacket is a great way to balance masculinity and femininity in one look.

Balmain

I'm such a sucker for anything Balmain. I think we've covered their looks a million times on RWD with some of my fave posts being HERE and HERE. This look above is so stylish, laid-back and perfect for any outing. Date night? Check! Dinner with the girls? Check! An easy way to emulate the look is to pair your military jacket with a same hued tank, dark/black pants and a great pair of strappy sandals. 

MaxMara

All military inspired jackets don't have to be heavy and cumbersome. This lightweight sweater wrap has fabulous appeal for all year long. I love the pairing of silk cargo pants and creamy colors too.

Marc Jacobs

Supremely feminine and oh so fun, Jacobs' take on the military jacket is pure perfection. Gobs and gobs of wants and lusts in this look. Those perfect summer-worthy sandals...that frilly under skirt...choker-esque scarf...and a take everywhere bag. Just like the look above from Aquilano Rimondi, cinching the waistline with a belt is a great way to add curves to this boxy piece. 

Richard Chai Love

Yum, yum...again, I'm lusting for every piece. Sparkly, sequin shorts paired with that favorite comfy T and a great pair of peep toe booties round it all out. If you look closely, this military inspired piece has some anorak qualities. Which take notes on that, readers as the anorak (with/without some military flair) is one of spring hottest pieces HERE. 

RWD's Top 5 Military Jackets:

 

Banana Republic Cotton Military Jacket for $98

Kohl's LC Lauren Conrad Military Jacket for $39.99

Express Double Breasted Military Jacket for $79.50

Sears New Look Anorak Jacket for $19.99

Sears Jenny B. Military Jacket with Buttons for $19.99

Reader Rave/Fave: Amanda B. Needs the Perfect Beach Bag

 

(Click to Enlarge)

This sweet letter popped up on in our Facebook inbox recently (become a Fan HERE) and we're eager to share our finds with Amanda and all our dear readers. Growing up in Florida and then living in Australia/Caribbean, I know the value of the perfect beach bag. Although I adore a good straw version, I usually find my greatest luck while using a cloth/canvas bag that I can toss in the wash from time to time. Boat trips and sea water lead to a really sticky bag after a long days use, so this is something that I really consider when purchasing a bag.  

Recently featured in our Earth Day roundup HERE are Envirosax bags which I love and adore. I would suggest these to Miss Amanda but she's in need of an interior pocket and they are lacking that feature. So without further ado, let me show you my top four beach bags below and why I adore them. I've also included some additional speedy-savvy-stylin' for some one-stop shopping to pick up those four gorgeous bags and also splurge on another lust-worthy and user friendly beach bag.

Amanda, we hope this has narrowed down your search for that chic and drool worthy bag. Nearly all of these bags have an interior pocket with either a zip or magnetic closure. Make sure to check that the measurements are the size your're looking for before ordering too. At such low prices, you could even grab up a few bags and rotate them into your wardrobe! Enjoy and thank you for your wonderful suggestion for a sunny and fun wardrobe essential.

Reader Rave/Fave: Alani Needs Some Parisian Style Hints for Her Upcoming Trip

(Click to Enlarge)

I received an awesome reader request from one of my fave girls and readers. I'm green with envy as she's heading out for a week with a wonderful girlfriend to none other than...PARIS! This is Alani's first time to Paris and though I hear fashion nervousness in her email request, she is such a stunning fashionista and is always dressed to the nine's. Actually, I'm thinking she may have a thing or two to show those Parisian ladies. 

Below, I've rounded up some fabulous real-life Parisian women for Alani to breeze through along with pointer snippets about how to emulate their impeccable style. Parisian women have incredible personal style and are beyond confident in their walk, talk and demeanor. So one thing that you must do while in Paris is don your ensembles in confidence. I know it seems hard to do when gorgeous gazelles are sauntering around you in covetable looks. 

Have no fear Alani, you are confident, gorgeous and stand out wherever you go so I think this fashion 'must' will not be a problem for you, sweet friend. I've also created a great 25 piece collection that would be suitable for any traveling lady who is about to visit one of the most fashionable cities in the world. The envy of many, these pieces are tried and true and completely attainable. Enjoy Alani and hope this brings you subtle touch of Parisian flair to your already amazing wardrobe.

Chictopia Fashion Darlings: Wardrobe Essential - KEDS

I love KEDS. I always have and I always will. I actually have a super funny KEDS story from my childhood. Let me set the scene. My Mom, my sister and I were all shopping at the mall when I was somewhere around 12 years old. We were on the hunt for the cheapest white canvas KEDS we could find. We stopped and saw them at Sears for $24.99 and we all agreed that was really a good price point. My sister and I both tried them on and purchased them with the quickness. 

We were literally not even ten feet into the mall entrance of Sears when I said, "I want to wear mine right now." My Mom told me that it was not a great idea because we might find another pair for less and then we can return the Sears pair. I neglected to listen, completely stubborn, sat down on the mall bench and traded my tattered, grey KEDS with holes in the toes for those shiny white canvas goodies that always smelled like heaven. I remember feeling so hip, proud and on-trend. I prayed we saw friends of mine at the mall as I just knew they'd be coveting my new kicks.

No more than 15 minutes of shopping and bam...JCPenny's had white canvas KEDS on sale for $19.99. Naturally, my sister grinned from ear to ear as she kept her kicks in the box and she now had almost five more dollars in her pocket. What did I do? I sat down and cried...no actually, I bawled. To a twelve year old, five dollars is a ton of money (back then) and I was so envious of my sister's self control and willingness to listen to my Mother. It was a dark day in my fashion-loving life and a big lesson learned. One thing's for sure, you will never see this girl donning her goods until they are home. 

So moving along from my tween sob story, I'd love to highlight some great everyday KEDS looks below. Taking a cue from our Chictopia Fashion Darlings via Chictopia.com, I've highlighted six looks that grabbed my attention right away. KEDS are completely coming back as they were seen all over the runway seasons ago HERE. The resurgence of KEDS kicks makes me smiling from ear to ear. Check out the looks, shop the goodies and sport KEDS for a casual, on-trend and laid back look pronto! Enjoy!

Movie Mode: Fashion Inspired by Cinema - Kelly McGillis in Top Gun

(Click to Enlarge)

I adore the movie Top Gun. Seriously, even if you're not a Tom Cruise fan, you can't argue that he is pretty amazing in this movie and Kelly McGillis rocks too. Today we're highlighting Kelly's wardrobe in this classic and very sexy movie. Her wardrobe consisted mainly of black and white pieces. Donning white T's and button-downs never looked so chic. Aviators, a silver watch and her military cap round out her accessories and her leather bomber is drool worthy.

Much different than our last Movie Mode post on Michael Jackson's This Is It wardrobe HERE, we're showcasing a subdued palette of wearable, everyday pieces for everyone. Many of these pieces are gender neutral and might even make you think about stealing a piece from your boyfriend/hubby's closet too. Go for it! Enjoy and always be inspired by cinema, but maybe not take it as far as SJP's hairpiece in SATC The Movie HERE.

How to Wear It: The One Dress Wonder - A Maxi Dress

(Click to Enlarge)

 

(Click to Enlarge)

I adore a maxi dress and it's always one of my first go-to items for trips, days out with girlfriends and even just running errands. Seriously, it's totally a one dress wonder. Why? because you can pair it with Havianas and call it a day. You'll always look feminine, put together and very chic. A maxi dress is great for almost any figure and is supremely comfort mixed with on-trend dressing.

I've rounded up three of my fave maxi's from the runway shows above. I'm so in love with all three looks. I'd done the Fetherston version to grab cocktails and dinner with the girls. I'd sport the Furstenberg version to a day time bbq or pool party and that Beccaria piece would be my first choice for a fancy dinner date with the hubby. I'd feel like a princess in all three versions and totally adore each one.

Moving onto the second image, I've highlighted some wonderful readers that are also fans of RWD on Facebook HERE. I've spotted them recently donning these gorgeous maxis and just knew I had to share their great styling with all of you. If you look closely, each real-life fashionista has kept her accessories to a minimum to let the dress be the statement maker. This is a smart move. I also want to point out that all three gorgeous women opted for longer maxis which is also a smart choice is you're wanting to elongate your figure. I love all three of their styled looks and think they each look supremely beautiful!

Since I'm so tall I immediately grab up any maxi dress that is long enough. RWD Hubby and I just spent some time in Dallas last week during our anniversary and for two of the three nightly outings, I donned a maxi. And yes, one of my only accessories was my new whistle! And, if you're a devout reader, you should know the third outing was a black peplum piece. Kudos to you, if you already knew it!

Believe me, a new maxi dress that you totally adore is really worth it's weight in gold. I've rounded up some of my top fave selections under $100. Wondering what to pair with your maxi dress? Try a big bag, some metallic gladiators and small statement accessories. Or, mix it up and take a chance by pairing a floral maxi with cowboy boots of Doc Martens and a killer cloche hat. You truly can't go wrong with this one. Enjoy and get to maxi shopping, donning and buying...pronto!

Annebeth from Antwerpen, Belgium

I love the combo of the belted maxi dress and sleek blazer. If you're scrambling for a stylish combo this season, this is an easy one to pull off. I also love her long beaded necklace and wayfarers too. Truthfully, pairing a blazer over anything is the easiest way to be on-trend right now. 

 

Disarmingdarling - Location Unlisted

A black t shirt dress is always a classic option. Pair it with knee high, peep toe booties and a huge chunky necklace and you have yourself an easy to emulate ensemble. I also love that the version above has huge Balmain-esque shoulder pads.

 

Featherweight from Santa Cruz, CA

Talk about making a Forever 21 dress look adorable and timeless. I love how she's combined black and white stripes with a serious pop of color with those bold tights. Also, you know I'm a sucker for some oxfords and they're a perfect compliment.

 

Kellyshoestrings from Fresno, CA

Red tights, brown boots and a bold multicolored dress never looked so amazing. This combo caught my attention right away and I just knew I had to feature it. I love how the red tights and brown boots combine in a way that doesn't take any attention from the dress. Also, that thrifted belt caught my eye because I never thought of donning that style. She definitely pulls it all off impeccably.

 

Merina - Location Unlisted

Surprising enough, this is actually Merina's first post on Chictopia. I love how she's combined that awesome Tophop light blue denim shirt with a great floral print dress and skinny belt. Black tights and brown flats allow the look to still be worn on chilly spring days. But just substitute those two with some awesome nude sandals and you have yourself a great ensemble for warmer weather.

 

Paxie_Aiza from Manilla, Phillipines

We just were chatting about the intrigue and gorgeousness of blush colored clothing so it should come as no surprise that I loved this look. From head to toe, I'm adoring it all. Be sure to click on her style book above as she has so many enticing, gorgeous and easy to emulate fashion choices. A stylish woman, indeed!

Wanting/Wishing/Wearing: Black Peplum Pieces

(Click to Enlarge)

I have to admit, even though it's spring, I'm already getting you geared up for fall. That's what we do best here, around RunwayDaily! We like to spot the trends for you before they emerge. So what do you need to keep your eyes peeled for? A black peplum piece. They were all over the fall 2010 runways and I just have to share the good news now.

This week is a bit special for RWD. It's our fourth anniversary and today I mentioned one of my gifts for the hubby over on our sister site CasaCullen (HERE). I'll be sporting an adorable black peplum piece for our dinner date night and if you take a glance down at my speedy-savvy-stylin'...I'd say it's most like French Connection Crepe Effect Dress from Asos. It'll be the first time I've worn it and I'm so excited to rock it for sure. 

Take some cues from the runway looks above and emulate a peplum look soon. One thing I just have to point out is that Michael Kors is a genius. He actually created a leather peplum belt (in the image above) and that's his version of this creative silhouette. I want that belt! Also, the jacket version at Karl Lagerfeld is drool worthy and I'm actually loving the William Rast version in my stying below.

There is a wide range of peplum pieces in spring hues too. I've seen a multitude of floral dresses and pastel colored frocks on my recent shopping excursions that include a sweet peplum pop. So scoop up a more spring appropriate color too. But you know me, I rock black all year long, without even batting an eye. It's always so timeless, chic and hides wrinkles quite well too, ha! Enjoy and get to peplum shopping, pronto!

How to Wear It: Unexpected Spring Color Combo - Blush and Taupe

(Click to Enlarge)

I love an unexpected, new and fresh color combo. Today's post combines that...and so much more. Blush and taupe unite beautifully for a stunning lady-like interpretation for your spring/summer wardrobe. I'm not only going to show you how to wear it but I'm also here for some one-stop shopping under $100. Some amazing pieces are up for grabs so make sure to breeze through them all. Also, we recently featured some fabulous kicks HERE that might also make the taupe/blush cut.

So chatting about the runway looks above, I want to point out a few things. First of all, corsets are huge again for spring and fall so make sure to don one if you have it. Pairing your blush and taupe pieces with pops of white, silver, grey and nude is a smart way to go. They all lend themselves combined to quite a fresh pairing and I'm in love with all the combos above. 

I don't have a favorite but I adore the ideas expressed loosely in each ensemble. Stella McCartney's combo of a white jacket, cropped pants, taupe belt and blush tank are statement making indeed. I have every single piece in my closet (not Stella, but similar) and am planning to emulate the combo soon. I also really love the combos at Isaaz Mizrahi and Antonio Berardi and find them to be a fresh take on something very wearable.

So glancing below, I've rounded up a number of fabulous pieces all under $100. I've also put together two ensembles that transition the look from runway flair to everyday wear. Grab yourself a pair of taupe shorts and a great blush tank, pair it with nude flats and some great silver accessories and you're good to go! Enjoy and get to shopping!

Wardrobe Essential: Velvet for Fall 2010

(Click to Enlarge)

We've chatted about velvet before (actually, it was this time last year right HERE) and I'm back to tell you that it's one of Fall 2010's go-to trends. I could have rounded up 4 dozen pictures for you to breeze through. One thing all designer's have agreed on for Fall is that velvet is so on-trend. I featured six fabulous velvet blazers above. I saw a huge surge of these on the fall runways and I think it's a great look to emulate. I have a velvet blazer and so does RWD Hubby too. We don them to Christmas parties, fall/winter social events and have even sported it for a bit of a snazzy dressed-up Sunday brunch. 

I've rounded up some fabulous velvet pieces below for you to browse through. Including some really affordable blazers that I think you should scoop up with the quickness. Also, if you're hitting the sale racks while out shopping this spring and see a velvet piece for a steal, grab it up. Believe me, you'll thank me later. I already know that velvet is going to be gracing the cover and editorials of every fashion magazine in the fall (yep, I'm psychic like that) so why not beat the trend before it's here. If you still have some cool spring breezes blowing through your city, then layer your new velvet blazer over a simple tank or T for a girls dinner dining al fresco. Enjoy!

What to Buy Now: Sporty Pieces à la Bottega Veneta's Spring 2010 Collection

(Click to Enlarge)

I love this collection! Sporty pieces combined with wearable accessories, Bottega Veneta got it so right for Spring 2010. I have a few girlfriends who are always looking sporty, spunky and ready for anything. I'm more of a t-shirt and jeans girl so when they show up for lunch in their lululemon pants, cute sports bras and great fitting tanks...I just have two words: cute and comfortable. 

Being realistic with all women balance on a day to day basis, I found Bottega Veneta's collection easily transitioned into everyday life. An easy way to emulate this laid-back and lady-look is to grab up a few key accessories and sport them all spring long. Those key pieces are: white hair wrap, light or nude colored platform sandals, baggy white shorts and big, bold and bright bag. 

With that in mind, I've rounded up some amazing buys that just scream Bottega Veneta Spring 2010. I love the Erin Wasson Tee and White Billabong shorts. I'd pair those with the $4 Headband from American Apparel, the Bisadora sky blue satchel and the Asos snakeskin platform sandals. That would be one sporty and eye-catching ensemble to show off those spring gams. Enjoy and get to shopping!

First Look: Burberry Prorsum's Fall 2010 Collection Includes Every Covetable Wardrobe Ingredient

 

(Click to Enlarge)

 

(Click to Enlarge)

Just like the fall collection at Marc Jacobs, Burberry Prorsum has me wanting more, more, more! The color palette is so typical of fall but the combos of these hues are truly unexpected, flirty and fun. Bright pinks paired with dark cranberry hues on one model and then army green and chartreuse on another. Every single look made my jaw drop and Christopher Bailey literally brought the house down with this collection. 

One thing that caught my attention were the oversized shearling collars on those aviator style bombers, above. Not exactly what you'd imagine a NY socialite breezing into cocktail hour wearing, is it? But it's a very nice redirection of what is considered appropriate and what is fashion as function. 

Aiming to already pick up pieces that have a similar aesthetic and feel to Burberry's fall collection, I've done some speedy-savvy-stylin' below. All pieces come in under $150 so they won't break the bank. I do absolutely foresee these shearling lined jackets as one of fall's hotter pieces so do grab one up now if you see it on super sale. Enjoy and get to shopping!

Style Advice: Early Fashion Hints from Marc Jacobs Fall 2010 Collection

(Click to Enlarge)

I love Marc Jacobs! Do you know his show is the one collection that designers, artists, buyers and bloggers patiently await every year? You can pretty much cast a wide net on the pieces he sends down the runway and bet big money that, in one way or another, they'll show up on the racks of H&M and Forever 21 in 8-12 months. I promise you! You've already learned that his oversized bags are complete celebrity obsessions HERE.

With that being said, I wanted to take a moment and highlight some important new key trends I saw prevalent on his runway. Jacobs' runway palette was overwhelmingly filled with metallics, grey tones, shades of mustard and a complete spectrum of blush/neutral colors. So take notes on those shades and keep an eye on them for fall's hottest fashion finds.

Reading above, you can totally get on the bandwagon early and try these combos this spring. You'll get your feet wet and totally be ahead of the trends. I love the idea of donning an entire neutral ensemble with a statement making bag. And how about that three piece suit with that mustard envelope clutch? Sex-ay, indeed. I also love the idea of wearing socks with flats or socks with sandals (which we've chatted about via Burberry HERE) so also give that a go, too. Just yesterday I donned sweet socks with my converse and some cute rolled up khaki shorts. 

Readers, it's the little things that make you feel stylish and daring so opt for stepping outside of the fashion box by following these bits of advice. I've also rounded up some Marc Jacobs-esque pieces below to emulate some similar combos as above. They are all under $100 so they won't break the bank like a Marc Jacobs ensemble might. Enjoy and happy Friday, loves!

(Click to Enlarge)

Thought it only appropriate since RWD Hubby is an irishman that I post about today's holiday. Happy St. Patty's Day everyone and I hope you're wearing your green. Are you? I'm lounging in my favorite Ireland sweatshirt that naturally has touches of green on it. I've rounded up some of my favorite green hued accessories below. There are 25 statement making pieces under $25 so make sure to breeze through all of them. 

My favorites? I adore the Green Tree necklace by Fossil because, look closely, there's a green thread embedded and I also totally craving that adorable spring-worthy Big Buddha woven straw clutch. Well, we're heading to a gathering tonight to celebrate and you know I'll be donning my best green attire for sure. Enjoy and be safe!

What to Buy Now: Super Sale Blazers - Under $50

Jessica Biel and Sarah Jessica Parker recently stepped out in two inspiring blazer-clad looks. If you don't have a blazer yet, dare I say, what in the world are you waiting on. And, if you're anything like me, you already own more than you can count but are always in the market for a new addition too. Blazers are on uber sale lately and I just had to highlight some of these better deals below. 

Don your blazer with a t-shirt and skinny jeans for a laid-back, classic look. Or wear your blazer over your favorite floral frock (like Biel did above) for a fun take on the menswear meets feminine approach. Blazers are a uniform staple and aren't going anywhere anytime soon. A trend here to stay and something you should rotate into your wardrobe on a consistent basis. Enjoy and get to blazer shopping below.
