Trend: Sparkling Sequin

Sugar and Spice
Badgley Mischka Dresses are a no brainer if you’re looking to dress to impress this holiday season. This aqua floor length dazzler flaunts sheer layered chiffon and an edgy embellished belt providing a touch of hardware. The crewneck detailing is also a great detail of this beautiful gown.
Trend: Mix of edgy and soft

Doing It Well
This black floor length gown with cinched waist is absolutely elegant. The star of the gown has to be the embellished cap sleeves. When you wear a dress like this with so much detailing at the neck, keep the jewelry at a minimum. The outfit paired with metallic blue long sleeve gloves is stunning.
Trend: Embellished Shoulders

Risk Taker
This deep purple loose fitting gown has some interesting detailing starting with the elegant wrap top and lace neckline. We love the contrast that the long sleeve leather glove gives the gown. The entire look is a risky statement, but worth it if you can pull it off.
Trend: Leather and Lace

Dramatic Diva
If you have a flair for the dramatic then this dress is for you ladies. The strapless floor length gown has an elegant metallic print over a black underlay. The design is pulled together nicely with a satin cumber bun inspired belt. We love the feather detailing at the neckline.
Trend: Feathers

Hollywood Glamour
We love glam at WikiFashionista, so naturally this gown is the final gown that stands out to us in the fall/winter 2011 collection of Badgley Mischka dresses. Everything from the tiered bottom to the asymmetrical top makes this dress a wow.

We knew the Nicki Minaj OPI collection would have some unique colors in it. This is for the daring diva. “Save Me” is a fantastic confetti colored color, mixed with pink, blue and yellow. Pairing it with a fun casual white tee, layered cardigan and skinny jeans is the best choice for this polish.

Nicki Minaj by OPI Fly Nail Lacquer
This aqua matte color is so like something we would imagine Nicki Minaj wearing on stage at one of her sold out concerts. The thing to remember is that Minaj is an island girl, so beautiful bold colors are a part of her culture. So naturally we would expect to find this fun color in the Trinidad native’s nail polish collection.

Nicki Minaj by OPI Super Bass Shatter
This beautiful shimmering purple color is amazing. All of you undercover Nicki Minaj fans could rock this at the office or in any other professional setting and get away with it, while you’re all walking around singing “BOOM BOOM BASE” in your heads. Love!

Nicki Minaj by OPI Did It On ‘Em Nail Lacquer

Holiday Cocktail Party Wear Featuring – Bebe Dresses

It’s Bebe fashionistas! You know you love it ladies. We are on a mission to bring you the ultimate holiday party dress this season. So naturally we’re turning to our friends over at Bebe for some solutions. Bebe is a brand for younger women looking to feel special and look hot doing it. Check out what we liked and what they have to offer you below.

This color block outfit is super cute and would work well for a laid back cocktail party. We like the contrast of the black capped sleeves against the electric blue top. The black pleated skirt with fitted button fastened waist completes this polished look perfectly.

The yellow print dress looks super cute from the floral design to the long sleeve netting underneath the mini dress with a sweetheart neckline. We’re also feeling the little red abstract squiggly lines scattered around the dress like silly string. The design is so playful we couldn’t resist.

This edgy little black dress is so Bebe! This is one that would look just about good on any figure. Check out the dramatic v-neck cinched waist. We especially like the loose fitting quarter sleeves with tailored cuffs. Pairing the dress with some opaque colored tights is a great idea. Try a holiday color like red, green or a sexy lace patterned pair of tights.

Being Bebe’s specialty, we see another little black dress in this collection that caught our eye. This one is a lot more revealing and a whole lot sexier. We think that the neckline is so hot, falling into a v-shape creating the illusion of a smaller waist. The look is polished off with pleats along the ribs of the dress and a pleated mini skirt. This one is absolutely a show stopper.

This red patterned mini dress is a flirty and fun cocktail dress. The neckline of the dress is low cut with a black waist band. The outfit is paired with a leather jacket with knit sleeves. We love the contrast of hard and soft pieces.

This is a total party dress fashionistas! We enjoy electric blue as much as the next girl, but when you add satin into the mix, well then you just have something special. The neckline of this gown is modest, but that is offset by the cut out bust. And the star of this dress is the ruffled hemline with black lining.

Nothing says a party like ruffle detailing! This strapless cocktail dress flaunts hot pink satin ruffles at the bust line. The body hugging pencil skirt design is super sassy and attractive. This dress is at the top of our list of cocktail ready Bebe dresses.
