Usually one to shy away from the spotlight, you’re being honored tonight for your exceptional volunteer work throughout the city. As the guest of honor, you need an ensemble that will wow the crowd, and this ivory fit and flare is sure to do that the minute you arrive! The golden hue of the delicate embroidery that ornaments the mesh overlay of this piece matches the sparkling bubbly that fills each glass as partygoers toast to your good deeds. As you walk onto the stage for your speech, the tulle underlays cause this fully lined frock’s skirt to swirl around you. When you style your piece with ruby-red peep-toe heels and a navy envelope clutch, your fashionable get up will receive as much praise as your generosity!
As an artist, the elements of design don’t leave your mind all day. Conceptualize an outfit as you would a portrait, starting with the navy-brushed hue, webbed lace texture, and abstract leaf pattern of this strapless dress! A simple twirl turns into a well-composed mashup of detailed, crocheted trim, with a scrim of tulle laid over this back-zipped frock’s lining, and an overall elegant look that stays put, thanks to a strip of non-slip tape. Paired according to the color wheel, with citrus-toned pumps and golden jewelry, this padded-and-side-boned piece is expertly assembled into a stunning outfit!
When a new student enters your little corner of the English department, she is greeted with the same elegance and grace in this muted maxi dress that you might hope to find in her stanzas! Standing to welcome her, the sheer length of this off-white, embroidered mesh dress falls to the floor behind your desk, and you offer a hand with a wrist decked with wooden beads as you reach for a handshake. Stepping out of your area to show her around, the half-lining of this V-neck is now visible, and before you begin, you remember to grab the floral shawl on the back of your chair, placing it over the adjustable straps on your shoulders to fight off the air-conditioned chill. The white, crocheted center panel of this dress seems to lead the way, your sienna-hued sandals poke out from beneath your hemline with each step forward, and once this scholar has been lead around by a beautiful you, she's more than convinced that she must sign up for more classes in your department!
The moment you spotted this mint-green dress, everything felt like a scene from a romantic comedy! Its simple, strapless design had your attention at first glance, while pretty pleats across the bust and waist sent you swooning. You tried to act cool, but once you learned that this pretty frock had substance - with a lightly padded bust and satiny lining underneath - you knew that it was the perfect dress for you. You paired this dreamy piece with a dainty, golden necklace and white heels for a stylish afternoon out!
As you drive along the water, you spot an extravagant boat waiting at the dock. That's when your sweetie tells you that your anniversary dinner will be taking place on the water! You squeal with excitement as you jump out of the car and smooth out your turquoise A-line. As the two of you step onto the boat, your darling guides you, placing a hand on the back of your bright frock, which is adorned with an exposed zipper. The pleated, lace-striped skirt flutters in the breeze, exposing the silky black lining underneath. Worn with goldenrod kitten heels and a floral clutch, this look is so stylish, you’ll think you’re dreaming when you see it!

Greg KesslerThomas Schütte’s “Berengo Heads” (2011), Frith Street Gallery.Some might argue that trying to identify a prevailing trend at a show as sprawling and diverse as Art Basel — the original, Swiss edition of the semiannual art fair, which hosts 300 galleries across 300,000 square feet and spans the last century of contemporary art — is a fool’s errand. Shortly after the show opened on Tuesday, an informal survey of artists and gallerists produced a list of observed motifs that included the return of abstraction, ’90s acid-house colors, large works in wood and even worms (“No, really, I just saw two of them in a row,” one architect insisted).
The wedding venue was a lovely old building with nice soft lightning. me and my boyfriend were suppose to take all pictures of that party. That was a huge honor!
