Party Dressing in Balmain x H&M and Christian Louboutin


Leather jacket: Monika Chiang
Dress: Balmain x H&M
Shoes: Christian Louboutin

This Balmain x H&M velvet dress with braiding is the perfect little black dress for any occasion. I just wish I would have sized up from a 2 to a 4, since it's super fitted as it is! Thanks to a mild winter, I've been able to wear this dress with just my leather jacket and Christian Louboutin Venus Orlato suede ankle boots. 

These ankle boots (circa Fall/Winter 2010) are one of my favorite pairs of Louboutins that I own. They dress up any outfit, and I love the metallic detail and hidden platform.

Gala Glamour in Adrianna Papell

Gown: Adrianna Papell
Shoes: Jimmy Choo

The International Emmy Awards is my favorite annual event for gala glamour. This year, I went dressed in Adrianna Papell's Art Deco Beaded Blouson Gown in Champagne. Normally I would opt for a black gown but it was a nice change to go with this softer, glamorous look, and the taupe/pink color also went well with my skin tone. The fit was very flattering and I love the beaded scalloped pattern. This gown, like many of Adrianna Papell's dresses, are available in petite and regular sizes and comes in different colors such as Mint, Midnight or Black. You can find Adrianna Papell's gowns at Nordstrom, Macy's and Lord & Taylor.
