All About the Details.

Details, details, details. There are a few this season I couldn't ignore. Sometimes, one FAB detail makes a dress. You may have to pare down accessories, but its worth it. You can be sure that people will remember a dress like this:

This one is actually a long version of a dress worn by the lovely Sarah Jessica Parker in the first SATC movie:

...to be fair, Carrie Bradshaw is no shrinking violet. Neither is that pie-sized bloom on her shoulder. I actually like that Faviana adapted this dress with more length and SLIGHTLY less flower. It's more balanced and wearable that way. But the reason we love SJP is that she doesn't do anything halfway.

Or how about this stunning back detail? Be bold and delicate at the same time with a fluttering butterfly perched on your dress...

BG Haute Evening Collecion. Flirty, flowy, garden fairy chic. Mystic and otherworldly purple + sexy satin and light-as-air chiffon = unforgettable.

Of course, detail doesn't always need to be focused in one place. Sometimes, detail thats carefully spread throughout a dress can be just as effective, as it is on this Scala dress:

The delicate crystal webs that spread across this dress remind me of raindrops on a window pane. Of course, that random effect is the result of careful, DETAILED design - well considered and well executed. This dress would sparkle beautifully at a nighttime event.

And, of course, the ultimate accessory, earrings. Want to see my current earring lust?

Now I just have to convince Harry Winston to lend them to me. Otherwise I'll happily settle for one of those lovely dresses.
