12 New Year's Eve Party Dresses

Filed under: Apparel


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.

Cheap Chic: Net-a-Porter Sets Date for Outlet Launch

Filed under: Apparel

Favorite e-tailer Net-a-Porter has been promising an online outlet -- the "Outnet" -- for months, where it will offer deeply discounted designer pieces and give competing sites like Bluefly.com a serious run for their money.

Now Fashionologie reports that the site's founder Natalie Massenet has announced that the "Outnet" will launch in February 2009.

Until then, recessionistas can indulge in the site's 50% off sale -- including markdowns on labels like Bottega Veneta, Vanessa Bruno, Marc Jacobs and Narcisco Rodriguez.
