Absolutely airy and effortless looking, this colorblock tank dress from Thakoon’s pre-Spring collection makes us want to fast forward to warmer weather! The silk and chiffon frock is a great way to ease into the bright colour trend as the delicate and matte fabrics serve to soften and refine. If you’re feeling daring, wear this look with a pair of classic strappy...

We love the term “pour-me-into it” party dress as coined by Eric Wilson in mywardrobe.com

This marks the last post in our 10 days 10 party dresses series so we thought we’d end with a bang! In contrast to most of our picks i.e. short, shiny and sparkly, we’re rounding off with this maxi dress by Matthew Williamson as an option for those soirees that are less partying and more schmoozing. This dress is a fantastic explosion of colour that’s complemented...

Dr Valerie Steele pays homage to the black dress in her latest book and we salute her for it. Not enough praises can be lavished on the LBD. It is that all important item in our wardrobe. It’s rescued us when we: a) Couldn’t be bothered to find anything to wear b) Found an annoying stain on our outfit of choice c) Got a call last minute about a must go to party Plus...

Ever since we discovered Ashish back in 2005 we haven’t been able to get enough. His use of vibrant colours keeps us excited and he consistently outdoes himself each season. Ashish’s collection for AW07 is no exception and you’d be hard pushed not to find a party dress amongst all the shimmer and sparkle. For a fun evening of drinks and partying we recommend this...

We’ve raved about Arcangel before and if you take a look at their Winter 07 collection you’ll understand why. They design the most beautiful dresses! We can’t get enough of this Grecian style empire line dress and its intricate detailing (oh and we love the colour too). It’s called “Monique” and can be found on their website. Arcangel is available...

If you’d prefer to channel the romantic princess in you rather than the dazzling party queen then this silk dress from Mint Jodi has your name on it. Its a lovely colour and the hemline is just right! However we’re still in two minds about the bow but we think we can get used to it especially as the patchwork ruffles are perfect for dancing up a storm. Mint...

O.K so we’re four days into the 10 days 10 party dresses series and next up is this strapless dress by Emma Cook. Now I know, I know…white is not the best of colours to party in. It gets dirty easily and you spend most of the night working hard to make sure there are no spills. But this viscose dress is so beautiful that it just couldn’t escape our round up...

It’s chic. Its classic. Its sexy. It’s sure to get you noticed. A combination of sheer lace and ruched satin cinching the waist makes this dazzling strapless number a show stopper and it deserves nothing less than to be glammed up with a pair of attention grabbing heels! BCBG MAX AZRIA Strapless Metallic Lace Dress, $360, available at Nordstrom.
