As you’re reading this, I’m waking up in the Bahamas! It’s the first day of my cruise, and I can’t wait to share how this might fare as a honeymoon when I get back for our Honeymoon Friday feature. In the meantime, here is a dress I’ve been waiting to share by Liancarlo. They do a great job of designing beautiful silhouettes for a woman’s body. I especially love the beading and v-neck illusion front and back of this dress. It’s an unusual look that takes illusion to a classy level.

Today is our first Bridal Complete Look: an a-line Jenny Packham gown (photo via Fashionable Bride) with a silk tulle skirt and v-neck with crystal detailing on the shoulder, a modern bridal updo with a slim antique headband, and two-tone sparkly heels by Giuseppe Zanotti (photo via The Beauty of Life Blog). I love how the heels look like classic bridal shoes until the rest of them is revealed.

I seriously love this New Arrival holiday cocktail dress from J. Crew. This “jewel-trimmed Jade dress” is the most beautiful color of emerald green and features a jeweled hem with sequins, beads, rhinestones, and more. I would pair this with a skinny black belt ( I prefer to add more of a waist to loose dresses) and hit every holiday party I could.

This is one of my favorite dresses I’ve seen in a while, and it comes from the very talented Johnna Ho. I love dresses with an unexpected twist, and the dye cut circles on the bottom of the dress give it that interesting detail. I also like that the sheath is cinched at the natural waist to create more shape.
