We all know that Ebay is a gigantic player in the retail world, but because of its virtual nature, it's hard to keep tabs on just how large the worldwide garage sale really is. Here's an indicator, the International Fund for Animal Welfare says that the online retailer is big enough to be responsible for "63% of the trade in endangered species -- with elephant ivory comprising 73% of all products tracked." Just think, that leopard skin purse could be real leopard skin. That's why eBay feels compelled to start cracking down on ivory sales starting January 1st.

Getting ready for a glamorous night out? This silk dress with "jewelled" neckline by Castle Starr has you covered; all you need to be cocktail party ready is a martini and killer shoes.

We love that the abstract design looks like ink dripping down on creamy ivory silk - it's like a fashion Rorscarch! We see a hot dress for a cool night. What do you see?

Dress of the Day: Joie She's in Love Cashmere Tunic Dress

The name of the dress is "She's in Love," and that might be because I'm head over heels for Joie's sweater dress, or it might just be because I'm in love!

Eh. It's the dress.

Joie's She's in Love dress is perfectly warm for mid-January because it's made of an ivory-colored cashmere and wool blend. The deep V-neck is cut off with a slight gather just before it gets too risque to wear the dress to Sunday night dinner with the famil. The long sleeves let out to bells, which matches the slight fare in the skirt.

The dress is on sale at Amazon for $129.99, which is quite a deal given that the dress can do double duty as a tunic top over leggings.

Shoes of the Day: Shoes with Architecture

giuseppe zanotti architecture wedge sandal

We often refer to "skyscraper" heels here at Styledash, and when we do, we're usually just talking about stiletto heels that send your long, lean physique towering. However, this Spring, "skyscraper" is taking a truly architectural bent in shoes that not only feature high heels, but hard-angled designs that could look like you're, well, wearing little buildings on your feet. Now we're not saying we necessarily love the look of these super clunky shoes, but they were featured on the runways for Spring '08.

The shoe show is Giuseppe Zanotti's Cream-colored "wedge" sandal that has a 6" heel (we love that height!), but a 2½" platform, so you feel like you're sashaying on a mere 4½". The 100% leather shoes feature an oversized adjustable buckle on vamp, and ankle strap with an adjustable buckle, and contrast stitching.

Available at PiperLime for (sit down for this) $750.

Dress of the Day: What Goes Around Comes Around

Karma.

Or, in the case of dresses, it's post-modern, vintage styles from What Goes Around Comes Around.

Peony Pristine is a cream linen sundress that takes you back to your little girlish days (which these days, was probably yesterday) with its jumper shape, apron pockets with checkered print, and wooden beads. The grosgrain ribbon detail on the straps and pockets will remind you of tying your hair in pigtails (I recommend refraining from that now, though).

The dress is fully lined and falls 30". Yes, it's made of summery linen, which is why it's on sale at Active Endeavors for $126, down from a whopping $420.
