LBD

What: An athletic wear-inspired take on Hervé Léger’s classic black bandage dress with sheer sleeves and panels and a sophisticated…

The lucky ladies on staff at The Rose Bar at the Gramercy Park Hotel are getting a wardrobe update! Last night Carly Cushnie and Michelle Ochs of Cushnie et Ochs held a dinner hosted by model Jessica Hart at the Rose Bar to announce their designer collaboration with the hotel, which includes dressing the female bar staff in their signature sexy designs.

WHAT: Mulberry giraffe print pumps…WHY: Take a walk on the wild side with a bit of giraffe print. Spice up that LBD with these Mulberry bright yellow and black spotted pumps; just expect to stand out from the crowd. Complete with a cushioned leather insole and a steady 4 inch heel, these kicks aren’t for the modest!…AVAILABLE: $780, Net-A-Porter.com

The importance of an LBD is a topic that doesn’t need to be argued; each girl should have (at least) one hanging in her closet. With a line of ten masterfully-crafted dresses in the finest Italian cottons and a hidden hug from built-in shapewear, Lisa Sun is altering the science behind the perfect frock with her label Project Gravitas. After 11 years of consulting experience at McKinsey & Company, Sun has created pieces that you’ll actually wear…

WHAT: Rachel Zoe Doble Crystal Barrel Cuff Bracelet…WHY: To borrow Rachel Zoe’s signature phrasing, we are pretty much dying over this crystal-encrusted bracelet. The cutout cuff gives some edge to any ensemble while keeping it pared-down enough to slide into on the daily. Kind of maj, non? We love the chic mix of crystal, black and gold. Talk about a simple means of glamming up a basic LBD. You could almost say we’re bananas for this piece. (We just couldn’t resist just one more Zoe-ism, darlings)…AVAILABLE: $295, Shopbop.com…

WHAT: Stella McCartney Marbled Acetate Box Clutch

WHY: We’re losing our marbles over this chic clutch, sporting a pattern touts a trend seen all over the Fall runways. Throw on your best LBD, drop your keys and credit cards in, and hit the town in style. Or take the look straight from Stella’s runway and wear the B&W box with a stark white halter top and matching wide-leg pants for a sleek and subtly sultry look.

WHAT: Herve Van Der Straeten Hammered Gold-Plated Cuff…WHY: A chic cuff this entrancing can only mean one thing…instant attention! With its leaf-inspired design, this cuff is hand-sculpted from gold-plated pieces that artfully wrap around the wrist. Roll up the sleeves of your favorite caftan and slip it on for day, or try it with that LBD after hours. Get hammered, chicly speaking!…AVAILABLE: $630, Net-a-Porter.com…

WHAT: BaubleBar Noir Deco Snake Bib

WHY: Glamify any outfit with this two-toned geometric bib necklace from BaubleBar. Whether you need to spruce up a summer dress or you’re heading out for a night on the town, this statement piece will be the perfect eye-catching touch. Wear it with a simple LBD (little black dress) or add some pizazz to an otherwise drab buttondown for an office attire update.

Lindsay Lohan hit the Scary Movie 5 premiere in Hollywood last night in a Dolce & Gabbana somewhat LBD number. (A media alert from the brand bragging about this has yet to fill our InBox.) What do we think of Lohan’s look, boys and girls? The troubled actress (who we all know is heading to rehab next month for being Lindsay Lohan for way too long.) hit the red carpet with her pal and role model Charlie Sheen, who also stars in the film.

Though we’ve never imagined Holly Golightly as a Dolce & Gabbana gal, her alter-ego Emilia Clarke got away with it last night at the opening night party for Breakfast At Tiffany’s on Broadway. It’s certainly a new take on the LBD, but we can’t help but dig it. Now about that whompy New York Times review of the play…
