June 30th, 2008Trends I love: Maxi Dress
The maxi dress is certainly no new trend, celebrities love the long flowing dresses and it’s a favorite among stars such as Nicole Richie, Vanessa Hudgens, and many more. It’s also a favorite among pregnant women, probably for it’s slimming ability.
Even though the dress has been quite popular for awhile, it didn’t quite catch my eye until this season.

Yet, I still find myself maxi-less, but I will find the perfect one.
You have to be very choosy when picking out the perfect maxi dress. The shape and cut is very important, try a dress that fits your body the right way, or you’ll look like your wearing a garbage bag.

If you’re petite like me I think the heels would be a good idea. Read the rest of this entry »
