I LOVE that Basso & Brooke dress because it's not totally black but black enough to be an LBD
Fabulously Broke in the City
Just a girl trying to find a balance between being a Shopaholic and a Saver...
I try not to wear too much black...specially in winter. Other wise it would be my everyday color and im kind of tired of it. I love the lanvin one.
Hola guapa!!! El color negro me pierde, es que estoy como medio obsesionada, casi toda mi ropa es de ese color. Qué ideales los vestidos!! Un beso
Hi CC,
I adore black ankle boot! Oh, my! :)))
oh i have been wearing more black latel. I'm love that Malandrino Resort 2009. that would be lovely for my graduation dinner this June! :)
P.S thanks for your comments! I got those runway pics/backstage pics from a wide range of sources, like designer's site/backstage photographer/flickr.......
Love them all!!!
Well there is nothing like a little black dress is there? I like the lace dress that you have featured on its own as well the lovely taffeta one that America Ferreira is wearing.
During a few years, I was totally in black dressed, all the time. And now, black color stays for me irreplaceable, not so basic anytime !
Love your selections. Adore the Victor and Rolf one.
BLACK is sooooo the new...um...BLACK!
love it...too many favs in this lot CC :)

If it's going to be black, it needs some detail that pops ...there are some good ones here.
Lovely picks! Love the oh not so basic LBD.
LDBs : always safe and fashionnable although Diario de une estilista is right : black in winter can be a little depressing, that's why I usually mix an LBD with colourful tights ! xx
Love those McQueen boots and Zac Posen dress, it's stunning!! I've been wearing black all season though and I'm slowly getting bored of it and awaiting the brighter Spring colours
oh I just love it all! Cheers to the little black dress! how fab.
Slimming black! That's definitly what I need after all those holiday cookies! Thanks to you I will start the year on a fashionable note.
L,
Catherine

You're blog is great.
Ho pe to see you soon.
Lot's of love Iole
I want it all!
Hope you had a wonderful holiday.

Roland's dress will have to be the basic of all basics but that looks more powerful than anything I see here. Is that something to do with those shoes? Maybe my heart is really with the shoes not with the dress. I'm such a bad student.. not concentrating...err
Always...ALWAYS like black!
Hi! Thanks for visiting my blog! :D
Great dresses! x
fantastic, black always is though!
<3
Gorgeous LBD (not so little :))
I agree with you they're all but basics.
xoxo
