I love all of these! The strapless look is great if you can pull it off, I feel like I can't so I never wear it, maybe one day!

Oh I love the strapless dress! At times I get a little self-conscious and end up putting a blazer or sweater over them, but this post has inspired me to let my shoulders out! Just gorgeous love! Have a great day XOXO

Believe it or not I have yet to buy a new strapless bra. I like the dresses with the pleated chiffon look on the bottom that are marked Tibi.jpg and Versus.jpg. They're very pretty.

The Lanvin silk-blend bustier dress would be perfect for my bridal shower!

Always love anything Herve Leger!

Strapless dresses are my fav, they never fail to make you look sexy and when in doubt throw on a shrug!

I love the Herve Leger dresses. They're a bit overdone, but on the right figure they look amazing. The Marchesa is stunning as well.
