The LBD

[Nomsdeplume]

Where did you/would you get yours?
I love the ones by Herve Leger, and would love to get my hands on a vintage little Chanel number.

I just got a new LBD this past Friday to wear for our first anniversary dinner next month. It''s from JCrew - Poplin Brynn Dress

I recently purchased this dress from Anthropology. It fits great and I love that it has pockets!

Rachie!! Great dress! And, sorry to threadjack, but your wedding was earlier this month, yes? I''ve been keeping an eye on Dionne''s blog waiting for your wedding photos to pop up!

+1 on Herve Leger's awesomeness!

It's not in black but I love the new concrete-colored one with the contrast insets; not only is it flattering, but it reminds me a bit of a shark's gills. I've heard it mentioned that so often to be fashionable is to dress for other women; HL pieces remind us of the joy of dressing with the opposite sex in mind as well. Is there one in particular that caught your eye?

As for me, it's embarrassing to see how much of my closet is taken up by LBDs. My most recent one is a sleek, fitted Dolce & Gabbana which I picked up at Nordstrom. Classic, but a bit of a splurge.

Sounds beautiful! D&G is another feminine winner! Do you have pictures? I''d love to see!

What I love about HL is that even though they are form-fitting and you''d think you have to be flawless to pull it off, they enhance the figure, so you just can''t go wrong!
I love the one Lucy Lui wore to the Herve Leger show during the Mercedes Benz Fashion Week this year. Classic!

Kribbie, I just checked out HL''s collection and WOW. Just GORGEOUS. I''m amazed, too, by the size charts. Real people sizing? Space for my bountiful derriere??? Sexy, classic, AND flattering styles? I''m in

Yes it was! You are too cute for remembering. I probably won''t be getting my pics for another 4 weeks since she has had so many weddings this summer. Ok, done threadjacking now!

Herve Leger dresses are gorgeous! Maybe one day...
