Fall 2009 was a season rich with metallic options but if you're not keen on investing in Chris Benz's metallic blue blazer or Preen's watermelon pink trousers not to worry. Classic little gold cocktail dresses were in many of the collections, and touch on the trend without being necessarily trendy. To that end, here are ten great examples from the Fall 2009 season. Our favorite? The yellow-gold number at Calvin Klein.


The holiday season is in full swing which means having a few LBDs on hand can't hurt--we've found a dynamic assortment of little black dresses and they're all one hundred dollars or less. From sexy and body-con to ruffled and youthful, there are plenty of options for plenty of occasions. Check out our LBD gallery below, with pricing information and where to buy, and, don't forget to add a statement necklace to your pick!
We're gearing up for some bridal happenings in New York this weekend and it occurred to us that there might be some unofficial wedding dresses lurking in the Spring 09 collections. It was, in fact, Jasper Conran, Giambattista Valli, and Dolce & Gabbana who really crossed those boundaries and perhaps not accidentally. A woman, after all, is likely to spend more on her wedding dress than any garment she'll buy for the rest of her life. It's only safe to assume that some designers might think to make a few white frocks in order to nab those one-time consumers. Or maybe we're just paranoid.

Ruffles have traditionally made us feel a little silly but lately we have been feeling positively underage. We don't know if its all the Gen-X men that have been percolating around Williamsburg but we feel completely girly making this particular look almost appropriate. We want to curl our hair, giggle and bat giant eyelashes!
Predictably we must be channeling some sort of moment, as ruffles are showing up all over cruise collections. We are particularly enamored of a gauzy pink tiered blouse from Missoni's Cruise 2009 collection. If you want to buy into your inner ditz right now we have a few high and low selections or you can cruise right on over to She's A Betty.
