Filed under: Clothing, Dresses, Must Haves

norma kamali black and white striped tunicWhat makes this dress the best $235 you'll spend at Shop Intuition? Norma Kamali's black and white striped tunic is so versatile, you're basically getting four dresses in one.

You can wear the dress as-is, as a tunic over leggings, like a tube dress with the sleeves wrapped around your waist, or as a halter dress, tying the sleeves around your neck. The dress is 100% wool.

Available at Shop Intuition for $235.

Dress of the Day: Nanette Lepore Printed Minidress

Filed under: Clothing, Dresses, Must Haves

nanette lepore printed minidressIt's all about purple this season, and I am a little bit at a loss because, well, purple is fairly aggressive color for someone like me whose entire wardrobe is varying shades of neutrals.

However, Nanette Lepore's Printed Minidress is not to miss. The rayon/silk blend dress is a violet color, and is subtly printed with a Baroque design. Carrying the Baroque theme, the V-neckline is shaped, and the long sleeves feature ruffles at the cuffs. The shape of the bodice almost reminds me of a kimono, with its high waist and gathering.

The dress is available from Neiman Marcus.

Dress of the Day: Romeo & Juliet Violet Jersey Mini Dress

Filed under: Clothing, Dresses, Must Haves

romeo & juliet couture violet minidressIs it just me or dis it feel like a sauna on the equator of Hell yesterday? Yes, it was hot, humid, and I was cranky as you-don't-want-to-know.

When it's that hot, all I want to do is run around naked, but since I also don't want to get arrested, a little minidress will have to do. Romeo & Juliet Couture's Violet Minidress almost looks like a swimsuit. The front has a deep scoop with a bustline that's pinched in the center and lets out into a ruffled skirt. The back is a raceback.

The dress originally retailed for $110, but is available from Bluefly for $66. (Today, Bluefly has an additional 15% off their already marked down prices on dresses.)

Bobbi Brown's violet face for spring

Filed under: Cosmetics

Last time I checked out Bobbi Brown cosmetics, she was focused on a chocolate-colored color scheme. That's perfect for fall, but for spring she's all about the violet face, a pale purple flush for lips, eyes and cheeks. Her violet palette has everything you need to create the very girly, very springtime look and sells for $50 or if you just want update your look with one item, the Ultra Violet Shimmer Wash Eye Shadow sells for $19. It looks a bit garish in the container but it is actually soft and delicate on the face.
