Frock Star of the Week
Gosh I love me some Haute Hippie, mostly because they design amazing dresses like this one.

It’s totally party ready. I mean, really…How adorable is this silk ruffled tiered dress? I need, want, must have this dress…

Like the rest of the world,I’ve been checking out Madewell for a while. As I browsed the stores and perused the website, I’m really loving what I see coming J. Crew’s kid sis. For instance, this frockin’ number caught my attention something serious.
For fall, I’m looking at adding more navy to my wardrobe than black and a little feminine ruffle action always makes my day.
Confession: I’ve never owned/worn a red dress in my life. I have decided that needs to change. I think the best way to go about it is with a dress that exudes sexiness without being overt. Something like this dress would do nicely:
I love how this Rachel Rachel Roy Twisted Tight dress accentuates the body on the bias. That’s always flattering and comes without the self consciousness of wearing a skintight dress. This might be my first red dress. What do you think ? Should I go for it? Are you the Red Dress type?
Gosh, this dress by Milly couldn’t make me any happier! Well, if I was wearing it I’d be happier.

Isn’t it divine? I adore the bright flower pattern and that low back. Now I just need a place to frolic…
Who doesn’t need a cute party dress? I always wanted one that shimmied as a I walked. Something like this…
hmmm…I’m thinking this dress needs a serious occasion. I’m thinking birthday serious. Got something serious coming up? You can find this hot little number from Blaque Label, right here.
Whenever I visit Modcloth, I have a hard time trying to figure out which dress would be a contender as a Frock Star. There’s always at least 6 options. But this week the super sexy “When in Milan dress” caught my eye.
With this dress, there’s enough structure and ruching to accentuate all the right places. What girl wouldn’t love that?
This Diesel dress is glorious! How could you not fall in love with it? Dresses with design details make my day!
It’s the perfect summer day to night dress. I would wear this the work then off to an after-work function.
It’s officially summer. In DC that means when you step outside you melt immediately and you just can’t have enough water nor enough lemonade. So if you are a lady, the best option is to put on a cute little dress. This one from Spool No 72 would be perfect:
The Alyssum Dress has lovely details including, lace at the neck and embroidery at the hem. And this cutie is cotton, for cool summertime strolling or sipping, and lined for modesty’s sake. I absolutely love it!
I adore vintage. Can’t get enough, actually. There’s such a thrill scoring an item that is one of a kind and brings a little history. When I saw this vintage 60’s Saks Fifth avenue dress from Vintage Philosophies on Etsy, my breath left my body for a second and I think I blacked out. It’s so classic, chic and super sexy. With that deep v-neck, doesn’t this dress look like it has a secret saucy past?
While I’m more gamine than bombshell, in this gorgeous green number, I could cue my inner Dorothy Dandridge any time I wanted. I’m also sure that wearing this, I could find myself in a bit of trouble…ahem, I mean fun. And though I’m not trying to rush the summer months, this dress would be a stunner in the fall.
I ADORE maxi dresses. I could live it them, especially this one from Thread Social. How gorgeous is this frock?
LOVE LOVE LOVE the vertical stripe pattern and the bow detail at the bust. Well, actually I love the dress in general. What do you think? Where would you were it?

I’m Jessica and that quote by Rumi are the words by which I live.
With a BA in Art History and a MA in Interior Design, I am armed to create beautiful spaces where ever I go and I am always researching, learning and doing in pursuit of my creative endeavors. Because I needed a place where my design ideas, discoveries, creative whims and inspirations could call home, Design Wonderland was born. Here, in my wonderland, I curate an eclectic mix of all wonderful things that inspire me on a daily basis. Though my first loves have always been art, fashion and design, I am also inspired by my insatiable appetite for good food, good friends, new places, beautiful poetry and lots of tea. My hope is that through sharing my thoughts, you will be inspired to create something beautiful too.
Beauty is all around,
Jessica
