Milly Snake-Effect Leather Shoulder Bag, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags

The subtle sheen on this Snake-Effect Leather Shoulder Bag by Milly gives the casual bucket-bag styling a nice "resort glam" upgrade, with just a hint of bohemian energy. Features on this shimmery cutie include a single bamboo top handle (a bit of matte earthy contrast) plus a detachable textured-leather shoulder strap, drawstring closure with bamboo-embellished leather tassels, goldtone hardware, protective feet, and a designer-stamped hanging charm. Inside it's lined in olive green twill (again with the earthiness) and has several pockets. A great summer essential that will go with practically everything. $475

The Holiday Season is in full swing. Christmas is quickly approaching and before you know it, New Year's Eve will make its arrival. And you know what that means? The search begins, if it hasn't already, for the perfect dress to attend the world's ultimate party.

So what makes for the perfect dress? First off is comfort. If you don't feel comfortable and confident in what you are wearing, don't wear it. Even the most expensive dress by the best designer will not work if you don't feel comfortable. Second, forget the trends and wear a dress that works for your body. Find a complementing silhouette, color and length.

To help your quest for the right dress, we've searched and found a collection of some breathtaking and seductive dresses. We start with a gorgeous strapless party dress from Tracy Reese. The Curving Cloudcover Dress ($398) is made with various pieces of delicate chiffon that are layered together against a form fitting a-line silhouette. A dark color combination of black and grey with hints of sequins makes for a versatile dress that would complement all skin tones. Reese's elegant and ethereal dress is fashionable enough to be worn with minimal jewelry and sexy high-heeled patent leather pumps for a knock-out outfit.

Take a look through our gallery below of chic dresses to bring in the New Year.

There is no denying that with the arrival of Spring comes the feeling of renewal. Cleaning out the clutter in our homes and minds while starting the season with a fresh outlook and sense of excitement for the warm weather. And of course, who can forget about shedding away the winter gear and replacing it with skirts, dresses, tank tops, shorts and open toed sandals? Finally, our skin is able to see the sun and feel the warmth once again. So perhaps this may be a bit melodramatic but I am so ready for warm spring and hot summer days. To kick off my excitement, and I'm sure others out there too, here is a colorful collection of dresses that scream - thank you for sunny days!

Featured above is eco-friendly fashion extraordinaire Stella McCartney's Chiffon Rose Nari Dress. This pretty floral sleeveless dress features a color palette that would look beautiful against all skin tones, pleats and an exaggerated scalloped hem that offers volume and understated sexiness. Price: $2,325.

Fashion designer Michelle Smith of the Milly line takes resort wear to a whole new level with a line of cabana wear inspired by the Punta Mita vacation destination in Mexico (an area we have visited for an estate of the day). The Punta Mita cabana wear collection features Bougainvillea flower prints because the flower is found around Punta Mita. Smith also used a pattern right off of a pillow that was in the Four Seasons Villa she stayed in. The Milly Punta Mita collection will hit stores this November.
