Fall 2009 Favorite Line: Elie Tahari

Elie Tahari's Fall 2009 line is simply gorgeous. Most of the pieces are actually one-piece dresses but create the illusion of high waisted pencil skirts, exotic blouses, colored tights with sheen, fabric belts, and long draping necklaces - there isn't anything about this line that I don't love...

Fall 09 Look of the Day: Belted Dresses

Look of the Day: Belted Dresses.

Wide belts work great for flowly dresses, giving them shape.

Oscar de La Renta 2010:
Sophie Theallet 2010:
Summer - Fall Transition: Here's your last chance to wear some of those summer dresses! Toss aside those flip flops and put on some heels, throw on a belt and a caridigan like Megan fox and Leighton Meester. The belt adds shape and gives the dress an edge. Choose a belt and cardigan color that brings out the fall hues of the dress. A gray or black cardigan can work wonders- smoothing out even the strongest summer colors; making them more fall wearable.

Megan Fox:

Leighton Meester

For Fall grays, try a colorful belt - it takes away the sometimes 'aging' or 'dull' effect gray dresses can sometimes have and brings the look to life.
