Shopping: Catherine Malandrino Camisole Dress
Shopping | Angie Omata | February 13, 2008
So it’s pretty clear that jewel tones and day glo colors are hot right now. From the runways to the red carpets, we’ve been blinded by the seriously intense hues radiating off of celebs and models alike (hello, Rihanna’s dress at the Grammys).
For us normal folk, it’s sort of scary to venture outside the comforts of our favourite neutrals and into the realm of coloured brights for next season.
If you’re a little colour shy, and scared of being the centre of attention, the best way to tackle this trend is by opting for a piece that comes in a soft matte fabric and that has simple lines like this Catherine Malandrino Camisole Dress.
The wrinkled silk chiffon fabric tones down the royal blue colour just enough, and the embroidery at the waist adds a boho/tribal flair. $425, available at Shopbop


Love love love Catherine Malandrino’s sexy yet classy dresses. Found a similar Catherine Malandrino Blue silk Sundress for $175 on this new site called DesignerLaundry.com. Apparently they offer celebrity donated and sample items at a fraction of the retail price. To top it off they offer a portion of the proceeds to charity. Love that.
