Off the Runway: Zac Posen

Look white-hot and definitely tres chic this season with a gorgeous drapey dress like this one. Give your overworn LBD a break and try something new-- this one's sure to turn heads.

Off the Runway: Versace

This beautiful one-shoulder gown by Versace reminds me of liquid mercury-- luminous and radiant. A piece like this is perfect for that romantic night out, or maybe a wedding (but remember: a guest shouldn't outshine the bride).

Off the Runway: Valentino

The simplicity of this dress is what makes it fabulous. It's not busy, and nor is it complicated. It's just an elegant, light, and flowy gown-- just what you need for a fantastic evening.

Off the Runway: Stephen Burrows

Make room for this little ray of sunshine! Here's a one-shoulder dress by Stephen Burrows, which is simply an effortless way to make any day brighter.

Off the Runway: Elie Saab

Now here's something a real Greek goddess would wear. It's graceful, long, flowing, and just plain gorgeous! This one's a keeper for those very special nights out.

Great Swimsuits for Bigger Busts

TIPS: Ditch the triangle tops; they don't have enough support if you're bigger than a D-cup. And stick to low necklines with underwire or a hidden bra (unless your top is a halter).

Spring 2009 Fashion Trends

Just a few of this season's hottest trends:
Something that works absolutely anywhere is a colorblocked piece. You can wear any color you want, still looking chic. Try on a colorblock dress or tunic, and you'll be ready to hit the town. The picture above shows a colorblock dress from Forever21 that I love. It is $22.80
Floral prints are back! They are everywhere this season, and they seem to be a must-have. I personally think they look great for almost any occasion, and I love them. The dress above is from Forever21 (again), and I think the bright cherry blossom print with the contrast bottom hem is adorable. That one is $22.80 as well.

And...animal prints are in style too! They come in so many different colors, and so many different patterns, that it's difficult to choose just one. So, the item above is a classic-- a silk halter top with a brown and cream cheetah print, priced at $19.80-- also from Forever21. This would go perfectly with a pair of sleek jeans or trousers.
