It’s wedding season!  I think the month of May is the perfect time to get hitched, especially an outdoor wedding on a beautiful beach or in a magnificent garden.  I wanted to share these photos of wedding dresses that are absolutely gorgeous.  Which dress is your favorite? 

Another big trend this year in 2008 is off-the-shoulder dresses.  This look has flirty and sexy written all over it.  Let it hang, show off your sexy shoulder ladies!  One-shoulder dresses are being shown on runways and on numerous celebs as well.  Here is my favorite off the shoulder dress, Gina Michele Organic Mercer Dress in Maroon that you can wear with a belt, boots or whatever you like.  The dress is made of eco-friendly material and has a relaxing fit with an elegant silhouette.  The accessories below will give you the complete look.  You’ll be one hot mama!

1.  Kipepeo Likoni Earrings in Azure

2.  Fossil Womens Leather Belt - Concho Stations - Color: Tan - BT2346231

3.  EVIL BRONZE LEATHER

4.  HOBO INTERNATIONAL Katherine Handbag

I love to mix & match different styles - a person known best for that is super fashionista Kate Moss.  She mixes vintage with modern pieces from wearing black mini cheongsam with clear heels and a Chanel bag.  Kate’s fashion sense is sickening…so effortlessly put together to create an amazing look!  I have a black mini cheongsam and I enjoy wearing it out under a cropped jacket or wearing it alone with pumps on my summer nights out. So sexy!

Since the dress is black it’s really easy to match with pretty much anything.  A cheongsam will give you a great style that you don’t see everyday & it’ll make you feel extra sexy and exotic when you wear this unique dress.   My favorite cheongsam is the Black Patterned Silk Dress($78.99) from GoodOrient.
