I'm definitely guilty of falling back on an LBD all the time, but I love all the patterned and textured party dresses for the holidays!
What a gorgeous array of dresses!! Makes me want to find a party so I can dress up in a cute frock!

so pretty and girly xo

A PIECE OF PASSION
Amidst the pretty party frocks, i noticed a pair of bright pretty blue heels and i love that!
Really serious, fierce works of art - each of them!
they're all so pretty...would take any one of them in a heartbeat!

Love these dress, Carrie! The Frank Tell is definitely my favorite!!
These dresses are PERFECTION!! I want them all. Sigh.
these are gorgeous...i need more parties to go to!
That Paul & Joe dress is the kind of thing I ALWAYS want, even though I know in my heart of hearts that wearing it in real life would probably make me look like an extra in a cocktail party scene in an early 90's soap opera. Not that this ever prevents me from wearing these things.
the carlos miele should be mine!!!
Does that Dennis Basso cocktail dress have a python bodice? LOVE it!

Love that Rebecca Taylor dress!
love the baby phat one:x
wow these are so fun! i love the 1st 4!
ooooh these frocks are perfect inspiration for the upcoming holidays!
I wonder when there will ever be a snatch and grab challenge where you will get to keep anything you can snatch and grab off of a runway in 60 second or less. Probably never right?
WOW! Gorgeous post! My fave is B. Mischka ;-)
X♥X♥
GORGEOUS dresses, I would die for that black leather strapless dress with the nude colour on the sides. Amazing!
The first one and the Basso piece are my top 2!

I'm forever enamored with Hervé Léger bandage dresses and I looooove the color of this one!
LOVE love love the moschino dress. <3

Love all of your picks! I wish I could wear strapless dresses - I need to work out on my arms and shoulders more! Another goal before next summer, lol :)

This post could almost have been called patterned body con party frocks :) I love the Herve Leger
Love this look. My favorite is the first one. It is so cute how it is ruffled at the bottom. Lovely post, darling. :)
I heart holiday dresses! I love that paneled suede pencil dress and also that big champagne ballerina dress!
SO many to love! The leather Elise Overland is fabulous.
I know I've said it before, but I so enjoy your selections darling.
I am spoilt for choice here. But I'm going to plump for the ever so pretty Stephen Burrows as the one I'd wear. :)

I love the Basso & Brooke so striking yet really simple!
I love that one by Carmen Marc Valvo, and I saw that Rebecca Taylor one on Tayor Swift and she looked gorgeous.
Love Christians of course and Carlos Miele. Fab!! Happy Holidays darling kiss kiss
I am in love with the first dress. Simple and elegant!
I'm not the biggest fan of print -on myself, but on the runway it's beautiful to watch!
