Get Your Fix for Hot Dresses with Tricia Fix

Regardless of your age – women in their twenties, thirties, or forties are loving the Tricia Fix dresses.Tricia Fix dresses are unique and special – her prints are distinctive and her dress styles flatter all body types.

Tricia Fix Peacock mini dress is multi colored and it looks so comfortable and feminine. The peacock feather detail gives this dress a pulse.  We love the deep plunge V neck and the fact that the dress is fully lined.

Tricia Fix references the Peacock motif throughout her collection. The shelly long peacock dress has a peacock image on the bottom of the dress. A stunning halter neck featuring a gold chain on the front creates a look that is fabulous for an evening out. A silhouette that exposes some skin makes this dress sexy but still something women of all ages can wear.

Prints are fun and the Christine Short Sleeve dress by Tricia Fix is one way to show off your modern side. Transitional colors make this dress an easy way to approach fall and winter. Short sleeve and not too mini - the Tricia Fix Christine short sleeve dress is a garment that pays attention to your shape. The dress drapes your body and is still a piece that is considered sexy. Don't just save this dress for evening out, this dress is perfect for a beautiful day.

Voom Clothing by Joy Han and James Kim

VOOM was founded by Joy Han and her husband, James Kim. Together they re-launched the line in the Summer of 2005. The collection has been gaining a lot of media attention and has already been featured in Lucky, Glamour, Marie Claire, Cosmopolitan, WWD, Luire, Kawaii, ViVi, Ceci, & Apparel News. In August 2005, VOOM had the prestigious honor of opening up the WWD Visions fashion show in Las Vegas showcasing 5 key looks for Spring/Summer 2006.


2007 LA Fashion Week Recap from Bebe, Voom, and Dina Bar-El - 03/23/07

As the sole designer of Voom Dresses, she is the heart and soul of the company, the original "VOOM Girl". Joy is a brilliant and innovative designer creating a new genre of style "Twisted Vintage" and is already being called "Ms. Galliano" by people in the fashion industry.

At the age of 7, she began making near perfect replicas of the gowns in her mother's couture, bridal salon. Joy's mother, who was a judge on the panel for the Miss Korea Pageants throughout the 80's and 90's, saw the talent in Joy and later sent her abroad to study fashion design. Joy attended AIU with a full scholarship and in 1998 received her bachelor's degree in fashion design.

Since graduating, she has designed for many renowned L.A. labels and in 2003, created her own line "VOOM by Joy Han", a vintage inspired edgy yet feminine sportswear line for the fashion forward woman. Since re-launching VOOM, Joy has dressed the likes of many celebrities in the music and entertainment industry including: Paris Hilton, Nicky Hilton, Eve, Shannon Elizabeth, Ghuliana Di Pandi, Avril Lavigne, Jennifer Love Hewitt and added 2 more lines, VOOM Premium Denim, & Vintage VOOM. Joy states, "...as a designer I feel the responsibility to create styles that'll make a woman feel young, beautiful, and confident without being a trend that you can wear for only one season. I want to create new classics that look trendy without being the "IT" trend, so they can wear it anytime, any season, year after year."

Heidi Montag really likes Voom dresses. Here she is in the Voom Op Art Long Halter Dress.

Fashion Tip: Nippies by Bristols 6

So, what do you do when you need to cover up your essentials but want something  sexy, something fun, something that makes you feel good? Try the Bristols 6 Nippies.

While it is revealing to show cleavage it is more sexy to show less breast – think of the dress J Lo wore at the grammies. The hint of the breast was what kept us tuned it. A deep v cut dress, an off the shoulder dress or a sheer mesh top make wearing a bra basically impossible and showing everything can be TOO revealing. Putting band aids and tape over your nipples is a turn off and uncomfortable.

The Bristols 6 Nippies come in fun colors and shapes. They are self adhesive and can be worn when a bra just won’t do. If you are just feeling funky and fun, or have the perfect dress and just need to cover up your nipples, try the sequin stars or the turquoise butterflies and feel how sexy they can be.

Bristols 6 Nippies are available in three styles, Butterlies, Stars and Hearts and all styles are available in a variety of colors. Each pack of Nippies comes with two sets in matching colors.
$16 per two pack.

Wacoal Push Up i Bra - Boost Your Bust

If your bust needs a little boost then the new Wacoal Push Up i bra ($53.00) will make those of us not so endowed women feel like a new person. The gradated pads give just enough push to look natural and give you shape and volume. Another bonus is the added cleavage you will notice. The nice plunge center is low enough for all types of tops and dresses. We like this bra a lot because it adds volume without making your breasts look unnatural. The engineering of the Wacoal Push Up i bra gives you enough lift and gives a natural rounded look. The Wacoal Push Up i bra's smooth cups are ideal for wearing under anything fitted.  Adjustable shoulder straps, no stitches, no seams and no tags. It is the most comfortable bra and it is great for everyday.
