Taurus: Chiffon and Cotton Cashmere Dres...

Posted by Jillian King in Taurus, dresses, sweaters on January 11, 2010 | No Comments

We all learned compound words in elementary school: grasshopper, breakfast, peppermint, and a smattering of other ones we can’t imagine life without. We’d like to propose a new one, and we think our Tauran friends will voraciously second us: sweaterdress. Sure, the phrase already exists, but an item of clothing that is this warm (the sweater part) and this sensuous (the...

Pisces: Gabrielle Striped Dress by MARC ...

Posted by Jillian King in Pisces, dresses on January 9, 2010 | No Comments

Yes, Miss Pisces, we know you are a creature of the deep. You think big thoughts and go your own way. But behind that free spirit is still a good little girl who never failed to bring an apple to the teacher or a cup of coffee to the boss. Capture those prim and proper leanings with this pin-striped white and blue dress. Its nautical color combo makes it look very much like a uniform...

Capricorn: Fringe Dress by NJC Boutique...

Posted by Jillian King in Capricorn, dresses on January 8, 2010 | No Comments

You may think you are more suited to the streets of Paris, Miss Capricorn, than to the wild, wild west, but we think you could find yourself at home on the range. Or, at the very least, at home in this dress. Its muted brown tone and festive fringe may push you out of your comfort zone (in a good way), but its fitted shape makes it a feminine piece. The tightly fitted long sleeves...

Cancer: Bohemian Dress by Karen Zambos V...

Posted by Jillian King in Cancer, dresses on January 5, 2010 | No Comments

At first glance, Lady Cancer, you may think this frock is far from weather appropriate. But take a closer look, and you’ll spot the intricate, feminine details that make it perfect for this time of the year. That bright trim is actually a soft ivory crochet, and its flowy body is actually a warm gray blend of cotton and wool. Wear with a pair of gold hoops for neo-gypsy look, or...

Taurus: Dandelion Belt Dress by Patterso...

Posted by Jillian King in Taurus, dresses on January 4, 2010 | No Comments

Elaborate details and beautiful chaos have their place, Miss Taurus, but the feeling of sheer simplicity (which, for example, comes right after you unclutter your purse) just cannot be beat. This comfy shirt dress is beautifully sheer in its fabric while also perfectly simple in its silhouette. Those two elements combine to create a product completely unexpected (and completely...

Libra: Party Dress by Annie Greenabelle...

Posted by Jillian King in Libra, dresses, eco on December 17, 2009 | No Comments

As the aughts come to an end, we bid adieu to the decade of superhero movies. We’re not particuarly torn up about it, Lady Libra, but we think a bit of their kick-ass qualities should carry over into 2010. This properly named party dress (from England, naturally) is just the thing to let you do that. Its silhouette fits your feminine standards, and its mix of colors is exactly...

Virgo: Slouch Knit Top by Dolman...

Posted by Jillian King in Virgo, dresses, tops on December 16, 2009 | No Comments

A Virgo’s mama must have told her to dress for the occassion, because we’ve never spotted her over-, under-, or any other awkward kind of dressed. But some predicaments just don’t lend themselves to the clearly defined tea length dress or business casual get-up. Like catching a Friday night plane to visit your buds and then going straight out. Or having an improptu...

Leo: Bamboo Split Seam Dress by Ryann...

Posted by Jillian King in Leo, dresses, eco on December 16, 2009 | No Comments

Even though you like to make your own statement and take the credit for your hard (stylish) work, Miss Leo, your generous side knows when to give credit when credit is deserved. So we’re taking your lead and sharing what our friends over at Fashion Ethic had to say about this dress: It’s “a little bit 20′s flapper, a little 70′s Jackie O, a little...

Gemini: Asymmetric Dress by FIN...

Posted by Jillian King in Gemini, cocktail dresses, dresses, eco on December 15, 2009 | No Comments

Today we’ve got a little discussion point for you, Miss Gemini. “European designers” usually mean the usual suspects from France, Italy, and (sometimes) the UK, right? Well, that all gets a little old, so we’re looking to our friends in Demark (and, yesterday, in Holland) for a breath of fresh, fashionable air. This dress is part of a collection “inspired...

Aries: Rocker Caftan by Yoana Baraschi...

Posted by Jillian King in Aries, cocktail dresses, dresses on December 14, 2009 | No Comments

Hear ye, hear ye! The season’s style proclamations have gone out, and black and gold sequins are most definitely the combo of these chilly months, Miss Aries. Your Virgo friends wear it in the form of this more casual top, and your Taurus buds wear it on this shift dress. But you wear in a much more flashy way. This dress’ flowing silhouette proclaims your free spirit...
