People Are Talking About Jill Zarin in THEIA at The MADE in NY Awards

Jill Zarin in THEIA

Do you watch Real Housewives of NYC? If not, no worries, but Jill Zarin is a popular reality T.V. star who attended the 6^th Annual MADE in NY Awards this past week. She posed for the camera wearing a midnight stretch taffeta THEIA cocktail dress. I couldn’t help but love the sweetheart design and ruched fabric compliments her figure. This little black dress is perfect for women of all shapes and sizes. There is a built in stretch corset that supports the bust and minimizes the waist. If you want the look then check out the deets below.

What: THEIA Ruched Cocktail Dress

Unplug Summer with 5 Stylish Steals

-

The weather has perked up and so should your personal style! True, summer doesn’t begin until June 21, 2011 but you can beat the heat by getting a head start on your seasonal shopping. There are so many fantastic finds I had to share at least five.

Ballet Flats

Popular shoe designer, Sam Edelman has created a must-have revamped ballet flat, that’s seemingly perfect for every woman this summer. I’m in love with the ‘Beatrix’ blush colored flat with a festive cluster of studs. The shoe is perfect for your everyday errands and neutral enough to compliment various ensembles.

Black Dress

Carissa Rose designs professional, tailored and empowering frocks that are sure to fit every woman’s shape.  The Tara Fit-Flare Dress is a perfect example of a stylish piece that can go from work to the Downtown LA Artwalk. Its classic color will easily shift from day to evening wear.

Must Read

Everyone needs to pick up a book this summer even if it’s just to borrow a recipe. Kim Haasarud, founder of Liquid Architecture has put out a new book, 101 Mojitos & Other Muddled Drinks. If you intend on arranging a summer party or even entertaining friends why not do it in style? This book offers exciting ways to creates delicious drinks. Hassarurd gushes that,” It is about combining ingredients to create a sensation on the palate and entice all the senses with a combination of flavors, textures, aromas and garnishes.” You can’t forget the garnishes so don’t forget the book.

Ring

Hand candy is my ‘fave’ and Cantamessa, has launched their newest aquatic-themed collection that’s perfect for a summer soiree. I adore the pieces and especially the details of the squids, medusas and all the other fish. The white encrusted jellyfish will certainly make a statement and get the attention of admirers.

Summer Scarf

If you live near the water you probably have a ton of scarves but Scarves.com has an entire site devoted to your every scarf need. The orange linen sheer shawl is a definite winner. This scarf exudes excitement and adventure. You’ll love the fringed ends and the airy feel. Its functionality is perfect for Los Angeles sunny yet ever-changing weather and adds color to your ensemble.
