Pretty Silk Ruffle Dresses for Under $200 from TheFind

If you are like me your summer agenda is packed with weddings. If you are the bride-to-be, congratulations! But the majority of us will attend as guests. If you are in a dilemma of what to wear don't fret. There are plenty of options for very pretty ladylike silk dresses suitable for wedding festivities. Featured here is a roundup of pretty silk dresses with ruffled necklines all priced under $200. Ruffled necklines in fruity starburst colors look great with a summer tan as well as fair complexions. Pretty up your look with some classic t-strap heels and an eye-catching clutch. When accessorizing with jewelry note that a complex neckline like ruffles requires less rather than more. Perhaps a stunning statement cocktail ring, and classic stud or drop earrings. If wearing dangling chandelier earrings forgo the cocktail ring as you won't want to overwhelm this ladylike look with excessive jewelry.

Calvin Klein Tahlia sandals on sale from Lori's Shoes!

Strolling by a high-end boutique on a sleepy, mid-week afternoon, I noticed a bored shopgirl taking a break, perched on a high stool swinging her legs and enjoying the fine weather as she gazed outside. I have no idea what she was wearing, but her shoes caught my attention. Open toe, with lots of fine straps laced up the middle, with a low wedge heel, they were perfection. And remarkably similar to these Tahlia sandals by Calvin Klein, but likely a whole lot more expensive! They're regularly $108.00, now $74.90, from Lori's Shoes.

Bright and Bold Strapless Summer Dresses from TheFind!

The strapless dress is one of summer's strongest trends. It's a perfectly pretty way to keep cool this summer and still maintain a stunning sense of style. The strapless mini dress is not just for formal occasions anymore. The strapless frock now comes in many fabrics and designs suitable for office dressing when shrouded in a coordinating cardigan or blazer. Toss of the jacket and add some colorful accessories and you're set for a summer evening on the town. One of our favorite looks for strapless summer dresses is bright and bold. Besides bright colors will heighten the glowing effect of your fresh from the weekend (ahem, newly applied self tanner) tan.

We are loving these styles that are total stunners and look great with towering espadrille wedges as they do with a pair of flip-flops. The Thread silk twill dress is whimsical design layering brightly colored scalloped silk off set by a bright yellow bow. Coral looks especially pretty on a tan. This is the perfect frock for an après beach alfresco dinner. Tibi's daring ethnic inspired prints offset a bold primary palette and are enhanced by a black contrast waistband. Donna Morgan's circle dress oozes retro glamour in the shade of our favorite summer beverage, yellow lemonade! Morgan's belted yellow and white dress is definitely the most demure of the trio. This cotton sateen number would also work for a bridal shower or brunch with the in-laws. Add a bit of whimsy with bright colorful accessories such as a set of colorful plastic bangles and a colorful clutch.

Thread Social Silk twill strapless dress, $240 at Net-a-Porter

Bernardo Style Must from Bernardo Footwear

As I roam the streets here in NYC this summer, my gaze is constantly drawn downwards to fashionable gals' feet, where the sparkle of a rhinestone or glint of metallic leather straps never fail to catch my eye!

So off I went to find my perfect pair -- online, of course. This pair, Style Must, from Bernardo, are classic enough to outlive this trend, and with just enough metallic sheen to dress up a short summer dress, or jeans. And stand out from the sparkly masses, in a good way. They're $99.00 from Bernardo Footwear.

Cascading ruffle tops on sale from J.Crew!

Lately, I've been a little obsessed with tops and tanks which have some sort of embellishment cascading down the front; I love the texture that subtle ruffles and adornment have on the garment. One caveat, though, is that said embellishment MUST be the same color as the garment it's adorning, or else the look can appear a bit carnival-like. Anyway, I found a few choice items on sale at J.Crew, all of which would look great with a slim skirt for the office or a tailored pair of shorts for a weekend outing. Here goes, from left:
Cashmere Cascadia Cardigan, $188.00, now $129.00;
Cascading Petals Cardigan, $88.00, now $39.99;

Designer picks from Neiman Marcus' One Day Swim Sale!

When it comes to swimsuits, I usually end up picking up something pretty inexpensive, in a classic style, assuming that the chlorine and salt will have it in shreds and faded by end of the season.

Avalon Organics Vitamin C Revitalizing Eye Cream from LuckyVitamin!

On a recent (and rare!) evening out in the NYC's Meatpacking District, I whipped out my ID to show the burly bouncer of a popular place where people were making their way up to a roof deck with sweet city views. He glanced at the ID, then raised his eyebrows and looked over at me and said "You look good, maaaan!" Now, I'm not going to disclose my age, but I have to guess I was at least a good decade older than any of his patrons that night. Eeek! Nonetheless, I'll take it as a compliment and assume that my eye cream is actually doing it's job. That said nightcream is Avalon Organics' Vitamin C Revitalizing Eye Cream, a luxuriously thick cream smelling faintly of oranges, which sinks right into the eye area, leaving no greasy residue -- very important for a contact lens wearer like me -- and resulting in no fine lines at all! Bouncers, beware! All-natural, and antioxidant-rich, it's $14.32 for 1 fl. oz from LuckyVitamin. Check out Avalon Organics entire line of antioxidant-rich skincare formulated especially to fight the aging effects of the sun.
