Q:  At 5′1, 110 pounds, and a size 32DD, I cannot find a dress that fits me correctly. Strapless dresses are impossible.  I really need a dress that I can wear a bra with and that doesn’t show off too much cleavage. A: For maximum figure flattery, we’d recommend a scoopnecked or v-necked dress that hits at knee-length.  The neckline will allow you to wear a bra (and won’t show too much cleavage), and the knee length hemline will be especially flattering on your petite frame.  Here’s Omiru’s top picks for figure flattering dresses for extremely curvy petites: Our $$$ Picks: Maggy London Cascade Front Chiffon Dress | $158 at Nordstrom Isn’t this color simply gorgeous?  The flowy fabric will drape nicely over your curves, though the hemline may need to be raised to knee length for maximum figure flattery.  read more »

Finally! Rachel Bilson traded in her boots for something a little more sassy correction a lot more sexy. In February's GQ Magazine , the cute-as-a-button actress looks, well, not exactly cute. Rather, she looks like a sexy kitten who just discovered her appeal and the power of the purr. I am quite mesmerized by these Ellen von Unwerth photos because they reveal an edgier side of Rachel that I presume only her lovers have witnessed. I feel like a fly on the wall in her bedroom, unable to pull myself away from the alluring peep show. My favorite outfit, if you can even call it that, is the baby-pink lace bra and shorts by French lingerie brand Chantal Thomass because it's feminine and pinup chic. Which do you like best?  read more »

There is life yet for Chloe Sevigny's Opening Ceremony collection.

While on Topshop, we came across their new Post-War Precision collection (originally called the Valerie Collection, though we don't know why they changed the name). Topshop describes it as "1950s pin-up styling with a rockabilly twist", but between the checkered pieces, acid wash jean jacket and ditsy floral print dresses we thought "We Wish We Were Chloe Sevigny" would have been a more apt description.  read more »
