My New Top 5 Dresses from STYLEBOP.com

When I am browsing through the “dresses” section on STYLEBOP.com, I am extremely impressed by the amazing variety, quality and beauty of the outfits that they have for sale. In addition to falling in love with about 5 dresses right off the bat, I am also a big fan of their swimwear, pants, shoes, accessories and skirts.

For those of you who are new to AH Life & Style, STYLEBOP.com is an online luxury clothing retailer featuring some of the world’s best designers and top brands in the industry. I like to promote the company because they sell high quality designer clothing and I’m a fan of creative fashion that makes people look and feel great.

I recently had a reader email me asking about STYLEBOP.com and what some of my favorite dresses are. Since I couldn’t just reply with “all of them”, even though that’s my real answer, I decided to pick my top 5.

1. Embellished Lace Dress in Pewter seen below. The ultimate party dress, this lace frock from Matthew Williamson features shimmering mirrored embellishment and a feather-laden skirt – Pewter-toned lace, scalloped V-neckline, elbow-length sleeves, scalloped cuffs, mirror-embellished skirt, tonal feather trim, hidden back zip , tailored fit. Style with diamond earrings and sleek stilettos. I love this dress. It’s a very unique design. It looks absolutely stunning and it will showcase your sense of fashion like no other. If you have the budget for it, then this would be an awesome addition to your closet.

2. Silk Embellished Cutout Gown in Sapphire seen below. If you want to look and feel like a movie star at a red carpet event, then this dress is for you. A stunning drape and shimmering embellished trim lend an ultra-glamorous look to this floor-grazing evening gown from Roberto Cavalli – Dark royal silk, V-neckline with cutout front detail, medium-width straps, silver-toned embellishment on straps and gathered panel bodice, hidden back zip closure, train – Form-fitting bodice, full skirt – Style with a statement necklace and platform sandals.

3.New Navy Draped Jersey Dress with Belt is shown below. Ultra feminine and flattering, Donna Karan’s luxurious draped jersey dress guarantees a glamorous look both day and night-softly draped neckline, short sleeves, draped detailing at the waist, tie belt, back seam detail-form-fitting- wear with statement jewelry, a clutch and pumps. I am a HUGE fan of Donna Karan’s designs! The one thing I know is that it’s impossible to go wrong with Donna Karan.

4.Draped Jersey Gown with Snake Embellishment in Turquoise, which is shown below. Perfect for your most fancy affairs, this floor-length gown from Roberto Cavalli features a radiant turquoise hue and characteristic snake embellishment – Turquoise jersey, wide neckline, cap sleeves, diagonal drape from the shoulder to waist, turquoise and silver-toned snake embellishment at the hip, hidden side zip, deep side slit, short train – Form-fitting, floor-length – Style with strappy metallic sandals and a see-through clutch. I LOVE that color! This dress is absolutely gorgeous!

5. Silk Embellished One Shoulder Gown in Red shown below. The color red really caught my eye and it would definitely catch the eyes of everyone around the person who is wearing this gorgeous piece. Radiant in scarlet silk, Marchesa’s embellished evening gown features shimmering metallic gold embroidery and a stunning drape – Red gathered silk with metallic gold floral embroidery around the top and waist, white crystal and tonal sequin and bead embellishment on embroidery, one shoulder with draped top shoulder sash, hidden back zip, train – Form-fitting bodice, floor length wrap skirt – Team with statement earrings and flawless heels. If there is one dress that could make you feel like a celebrity, then this is it. 🙂

Newest Arrivals at Gipsy Dharma

I have just recently got a chance to check out some of the new arrivals at Gipsy Dharma. The company is always taking the time to listen to what the customers are looking for and provide high quality products. Gipsy Dharma specialize in unique handmade leather boots and skirts for women.

“They are designed by artisans, using the finest pieces of leather to create something unique and incredibly comfortable and stylish”.-from their website.

They have a lot of beautiful product in store now. I really love the colours and the careful detail with which each piece was assembled. I can see that a lot of careful thought was put into making sure that customers receive something that they can’t get anywhere else.

When it comes to fashion, the goal is to stand out and set the trends rather than wear what everyone else is wearing. It’s very easy to copy other people’s style, but I think that being unique is much better.

For example, I really like the Pink Tie Dye Leather Belt Skirt. Pink is one of my favorite colours and it’s something that I would love to wear 🙂 Check out the photo of the skirt right below:

GipsyDharma I also really like the Navy Blue Tie-Dye Leather Belt Skirt, which is pictured below:

GipsyDharma1

If you want to have something original and show your friends how fun, fabulous and fashionable you are, then check out the new collection of leather boots and skirts by Gipsy Dharma. You will love the intricately designed high quality pieces that will give you the chance to showcase your style.

Happy shopping!

GUEST POST: Use Custom Printed Bags to Promote your Business

Post1

All those who own business should constantly think of ways to promote their company and brand so that they are always in front of their eyes. Most sought after RPET bags can be a game changer for you and can be used in several ways to promote your business. Definitely there’s much more to these promotional bags than just using them to distribute your goods.

A business does not have to be in a retail sector to benefit from a custom printed bag. These bags are also a great way to send out gifts to your clients for celebrating a holiday or a big deal. You can give these bags a extra personal touch by tying them up with the help of a custom printed ribbon to remind recipients of exactly which company sent them such a lovely gift.

All those who are have retail stores and shopping centers can use custom printed bags and distribute them to each of their customers. They are suitable even for the delicate items, such as electronic goods or jewelry that can get damaged when packed with other purchases. When your customers will open that extra package, they will once again see the name of the retail store that took such a care in packing their purchase.

When you are in the market for custom printed RPET bags, you should choose one in a durable material. You can many options, such as eco-friendly bags, jute bags, and plastic bags. These bags can be used for various purposes, such as shopping in the market, or packing a lunch to bring it to work. Customers love extra convenience and will easily remember the store that offered such a beautiful and useful bag long after they’ve purchased goods from you. Moreover, thousands of other people will see your logo and business name and know about you.

Custom printed bags are best for all those who have retail business as these bags can be walking billboards right from the time they leave your store. Most of the sellers of such bags are online and can customize these bags for you. They can design your promotional matter and help you in advertising your business.

With custom printed bags, you can create your own identity. By using such a cost effective yet highly beneficial promotional item, your business won’t get lost in the crowd. Just a small one time investment in these bags will pay you for years!
