Spend Less Money on Your Party Dress and More Money on Your Party!

This is part of a series of posts I’m doing today where I highlight high-end dresses available for low-end prices.  Now, let’s take a look at Cybernet Plaza.  Most of their dresses go for less than $150, and many are under $70.

This form-fitting white party dress is only $55!

This is a really cute design with some great details, like the two straps going across the neckline.  This dress comes in up to size 3X.  See more dresses at affordable prices at CybernetPlaza.com.

They ship worldwide and list their prices in dollars, euros, and pounds.

Cocktail Dresses Cheap! Shop and Save

Continuing my look at online shops today where you can find dressy dresses that are affordable, Frederick’s of Hollywood has surprisingly low prices.  The majority of their short formal dresses are under $100, and they usually have some great sale prices going on, as well. 

For instance, this purple chiffon dress with rhinestones is currently on sale for $35.

They sell some extremely pretty shoes on this site, too, like these black ankle-strap pumps which are only $24.

Fashion in the O.C.

Hello my little fashionistas.  Sorry I haven’t been around the last few days, but my computer no worky.  It seems to be all better now (keep your fingers crossed).

I was walking around the Irvine Spectrum last night (a popular hangout here in the O.C.) and I saw this adorable bubble hem dress in the window at the bebe store.

The bebe site recommends you wear it with these super high heel platform gladiator sandals.

bebe ships directly to the U.S. and Canada, and through a third party to the rest of the world.  To pick up designer clothes at discount prices, go to their sale page.

Jewelry Hot Tip: Where to Buy for Less

I often buy jewelry on ebay and get some great deals, but I found another auction site today that is dedicated almost exclusively to jewelry.  They offer gemstone jewelry for some incredibly discounted rates.  When you need something nice to go with your formalwear, but don’t want to spend a ton of money, this might be just the place for you.  Check them out at bidz.com.

Is Fashion Fading?

The colorfade look is in style right now, with either two colors fading into each other, or gradational tones of one color fading in and out of darker to lighter shades.  Here are two examples:

1. Carmen Marc Valvo Collection Ombre Chiffon Halter Cocktail Dress (This white and gray designer dress from Bloomingdale’s is currently around $600.)

0805_11_whitegraydress

2. Ombre Georgette Tank Dress (A little more affordable at just under $80 from MetroStyle.  FYI, tiered ruffles and transparent overlays are also in style right now, both of which can be seen on this dress.)

0805_11_pinkorangedress

Both Bloomingdale’s and MetroStyle ship to the United States and its territories.

Fashionista Friday: Find Majorly Cool Handbags at Fashion Blog Site

Love, love, love the Fashion Blog Site.  My only complaint is that they don’t update more often.  Here are some fun things you can do there:

1. See an artistic Kathleen Dustin purse that looks like a flower pod (kinda weird/kinda cool).

2. Discover the fashionable/functional laptop bag and carry-all from LapSac.

3. Take a look inside the Butler Hybrid handbag (above) — chic on the outside/hyper organized on the inside.  (Get yours for $165 at butlerbag.com.)
