“Every couturier has forever had a fascination with the mysterious and alluring qualities of lace. From Evita to marlene Dietrich to some of the best-dressed of our red-carpet modern stars, it’s a long love affair. This salon-intimate collection is all about a dramatic, intense, smoky eye, with shadows that flash frosty grey to deep blue. Kohl Power is brought back for a limited time in a favorite shades plus a new blackened marine blue.

And naturally, 44 Lash adds the depth and desire. Lips stay pleasingly pale and nail lacquer in Light Affair adds ahit of danger. If ever there was a moment to do away with the winter doldrums and add some instant intrigue, this is it.”                   –MAC Cosmetics

To say I’m slightly obsessed with this dress is the biggest understatement of the century. I am in LOVE!

The sheath shape is so elegant and classic, but the beaded, almost liquid-like neckline is practically enough to make me fall over and die. It’s classy but still special and mysterious – plus, the back gives it an aura of mystique without running the risk of becoming risqué.

Lauren by Ralph Lauren Embroidered Crepe Sheath Dress is available from Nordstrom for $190.
