Dress Heaven

I've got a few events coming up this year and I am really needing to add some new dresses into the mix.  The 2012 calendar includes multiple weddings that I will attend as a guest, as well as a bbridal shower + bachelorette party + rehearsal dinner + wedding of which I am a bridal party member!  (So I am not lyin' when I say I need to up my dress game this year)!

In the process of my hunt for the perfect dresses, I've found four that have my heart going "pitter patter".   Dress #1 makes my list because of the eye-catching color and the back detail (but offset by the length so as not to look too scandalous), Dress #2 catches my eye because of the gorgeous slate blue color and the open back, which works for small chested girls like me.  The third dress would be PERFECT for a night time event, classy but different, and peplum is making a huge comeback at the moment.  Lastly, dress #4 would be beautiful for a bridal shower or daytime event, but the price tag is a little steep for such a bold patter.

Which is your favorite?  Where would you wear each dress?

Discover: Modcloth

For this week's dose of Discover, I found some lovely things at Modcloth.  If you're not familiar with Modcloth, it's a Pittsburgh-based retailer that sells a mixture of new and vintage pieces, although all items seem to have a bit of a vintage feel to them.  The goods are mainly under $100, so if you're looking to add to your wardrobe but on a bit of a budget, this might be a good resource for you!  Here are six of my favorite current Modcloth picks:
