Like any true fashionista, I watched last night’s Academy Awards ceremony but was more focused on “best dressed” than I was on “best drama”. Now that the festivities have come to an end, I’d like to hand out few awards of my own. The envelopes, please…

There is a saying: Buy the dress and the party will come. And this time of year is ideal for living by that popular adage! So, when shopping for your perfect party frock, take a cue from the spirit of the season and wow with festive fashion! By “festive” I mean, tons of sequins, glitter, bling – whatever you wanna call it! – as long as it sparkles (and gets you noticed!). To help get you started, check out these pretty little things I’ve spotted lately for all your social and celebratory needs.

Summer is right around the corner and you know what that means: It’s time to hit the beach!
