Rich, lavish fabrics: Now THAT'S the payoff for the cold weather. Yes, we're starting to see the signs of fall and that does mean chillier days and c-c-c-cold nights but just think of all the beautiful fashions we get to don in return! Oh, what a payoff! Those Special Occasion Dresses ... they're simply to die for! Fashion Paradise has brought together three beautiful examples of exactly what we're talking about.

OMG! This is coming from me personally to you ... These dresses are EFFEN FANTASTIC! When I saw that Gareth Pugh (ummm, ask how much I want it) dress, I felt a BAM over the head imagining my VERY different body type than the model's and knowing full-well that I would look and feel utterly fantabulous in that dress! Then, as I allowed my gaze to turn to the Dar-di and the Ronny Kobi. I could definitely see myself looking oh-so-deelicious in those as well. Now, heaven knows I have seen SO MANY things on this site that I would have adored having for my very own. Couple that with the notion that although I do write with a fun/quirkiness, I try to maintain some air of professional distance from my own personal what-I-am-TOTALLY-buying-myself tastes, but I thought it unavoidable at this juncture to get bare with y'all and let you know how I simply am melting for these dresses!!! Kimber+These Dresses = LOVE (in type-size 18, boldness enhanced, Bodoni Svty-TwoITC-TT Bold print that this site won't let me put on this page.) Tomorrow it'll be back to our regularly scheduled program but for now it's

Summertime brings about so many opportunities to pull elegance outside - like lovely luncheons, garden parties, and outdoor wedding receptions to name a few examples. These invitations mark the perfect situations to don a beautiful frock and out-pretty the roses. Fashion Paradise has found some gorgeous representations of what some of the best design houses are coming up with these days and let us be the first to say, they are indeed stunning. As you can see, the graceful, feminine cuts, well tailored lines and beautiful use of fresh color and pattern in these lovely dresses is reminiscent of such style-icons as Audrey Hepburn, Grace Kelly, Doris Day and Jackie O.

Nothing says "Festive," and "Glitz, Glamor, and Party" like Sequins. Their luminescence catches the eye, lighting up any room they are in with the breath-taking surprise that we can't help but be fascinated by. And beside the fact that they are so beautiful, artful and colorful to look at, they also can be extremely flattering when sewn to the right design. Fashion Paradise is offering up such designs with these three gorgeous dresses that are sure to flatter any figure and fill any room with the pizzazz that is equal to your sparkling personality. Whether this be a red carpet affair or something a bit more intimate, your audience will surely be thinking of giving you a standing ovation .. or maybe they won't be able to hold themselves back from applauding out loud. Either way, you can count on being the sequined, shining star of the night!

Ports 1961
Tulip Sleeve Dress
$395.00
Black and White - two colors on opposite sides of the spectrum. One draws in light and heat, the other reflects cool and sophistication. Both are gorgeous. Both are super sexy, savvy and intelligent colors, and the beauty is that both can be worn at any time of the year and will always appropriately look a cut above the rest. We've chosen three representations of these alluring colors from a terrific company called Ports 1961. This label, started in 2004, subscribes to the embrace of the modern woman, the individualist who dares to try something new. To us, that mean these dresses are not only beautiful to look at but feel beautiful to wear -- flowing fabrics, never bulky, and they flatter any figure whilst never ever overwhelming the loveliness of the woman who wears them. These are truly complimentary dresses for the truly chic woman.

"Oh, just wear something Red." ... Hellll-O! Talk about an open-ended statement! Today's Fashion Paradise offerings are a perfect example of just that: Three Red Dresses - the only thing they have in common is that there is no doubt they all are beautiful, but you couldn't ask for three more different examples of "The Little Red Dress." One is sheer elegance - geared toward High-End cocktail parties and Gala Events - definitely worn with pumps or glitsy strappy heals. The next can be appropriate for the office, a dinner party or a Social Lunchean - kitten heals would work well here. The third is much more in the line of an off-beat Art Gallery Opening or a hip party - we're thinking tights and boots, or even skinny jeans underneath. So there you have it: Three Red Dresses expressing three very different personalities - perfect for a diverse gal like yourself. Good thing we cleared that up!

Aside from glitzy places like Las Vegas, lately it's hard to find the average, non-celebrity wearing gold dresses. In fact, the last time gold fabric really was given it's due was during the Disco Era. We're so happy that it's finally making a strong come back, because it is (and always has been) fabulous! Gold is an exciting color - it's a look-at-me color that reflects light and movement. In fact, that's why it was so popular during the Disco Dance Faze, because it made everyone wearing it on the dance floor that much more beautiful and fun to look at. Knowing that, why wouldn't gold be the perfect color for you, the gal who is always beautiful and always fun to look at. It's a perfect match, made for a source of light like yourself - so don your gorgeous new Gold Dress and strike that pose. It's all the world needs to start dancing!

OK - Let's get serious. Black has always been the fall-back color for any classy affair. When in doubt, always choose the little black dress, right? Safe? Well ... There's the little black dress and there's your "Gorgeous Curves in the Little Black Dress" and quite frankly, there's nothing little about that! Talk about "Va Va Voom!" Believe us when we say there is no way to blend into the crowd wearing one of these ... dare we say, "Turn On's" You're the epitome of smoldering in these dresses that will hug, flatter and LOVE your body in a way that no other dress can (feel free to take that as a metaphor for what anyone seeing you in these dresses would like to do.) ... Did it just get hotter in here?

Grace Sun
Split V dress

Fashion's big guns Grace Sun, Milly, and Wink have offered up dresses with big accordion-pleat necklines. So what's the appeal of this origami-like cut? The tricky folds highlight the sexy décolletage area without revealing too much, making it a definite DO for both minimal-chested and well endowed gals.
These aren't just tops, they are art pieces that not only look beautiful on their own, but they highlight the true beauty of the woman who is wearing them. Delicate, feminine, avent-gard - they are not your average top-dresses - but then you, my dear, are not your average woman.

Sexy ... sultry ... sassy ... serendipitous ... sublime ... seductive ... saucy ... stately ... so very something something - OH YES!! The one-strap cuts draw attention to the shoulder (an underappreciated erogenous zone) and the face (just two of your very best qualities.) You'll be noticed, rest assured, in these unique, eye-catching dresses - and why shouldn't you be? You're gorgeous and you know it! But darling, be forewarned, if you're going to flaunt that erogenous zone for all to see, expect to see some erogenous results -- like random kisses on that beautiful, exposed shoulder, for starters - the rest is your call .. and what a call it is!

It used to be that sequins were reserved for only the most glamorous of occasions but fortunately, we have embraced the notion that ANY occasion can be a glamorous occasion ... and here at Fashion Paradise, we interpret that to mean that almost EVERY occasion should be an opportunity for glamour. Let's face it. We all want to be the the one the crowd turns to when we walk in the room and glamour is one of the finest ways to ensure that the crowd belongs to you - so bling it up, baby. Sparkle sparkle sparkle!

Nothing makes you feel better than a great Knit... The way the fabric hugs your curves just so and hangs with a beautiful weight and majestic furl. It used to be that Knits were designed only for winter wear but now we can have the fantastic look and feel of a Knit but in a weight that is meant for weather that's on the warmer side. These three gorgeous dresses are excellent examples of how far we have come ... and just the beginning of where you might go.

Thank heaven Summer is here! The time to hide behind lots of warm fabrics has given way to a slightly more "open" attitude. It's time to show your stuff and be girly and brazen all at once. Summer Mini-Dresses are the perfect way to stay "Barely" within the lines. Where you go from there is all up to you!
