NYD: What do you think women look for in an evening dress?
Faviana: Hmmm, most women look for something that flatters their figure. And they also want perceived value.
NYD: What trends are you embracing this season?
Faviana: We’re embracing beaded illusion and illusion with chiffon bottoms. We also have modified one-shoulder looks and have taken our own spin on the sequins.
NYD: So Kate vs. Pippa, which Middleton sister is making the biggest fashion waves?
Faviana: We’re partial to Pippa. Her shape and style are better for our designs, and she just looks gorgeous everywhere she goes.
NYD: We know Faviana's a master of celebrity gowns. What dress do you suggest for an unforgettable red carpet look?
Faviana: Simple, understated class. Our favorite stars to watch on the red carpet are Angelina Jolie, Carrie Underwood and Eva Longoria.
NYD: Prom's just around the corner, do you have any fashion advice for this year?
Faviana: Go for something different, and wear a hi-low dress or try a slit. Pair your hi-low or slit dress with some amazing shoes for a knockout prom look.
NYD: Can you give us the insider's dish about any up-and-coming collections? (Silhouettes, embellishments, fabrics, colors, etc.)
Faviana: We went after stretch mesh this year more than ever, and we used stretch taffeta and stretch satins as well. We’re is known for our unique prints, and we also tried ombre sequin dresses this season—these are sure to be a hit at all events this year!

STYLE THIS Terani 11028H
Terani 11028H. Here are two looks that work. Which do you prefer, option 1 or option 2? Feel free to suggest more!
LOOK 1:
LOOK 2:
HAIR: the half up option is a great one. It accentuates the beauty of a woman's neckline and stands out since most girls tend to do complete updo's for formals. Also, the princess sweetheart neckline is beautiful and you don't want to cover it with too much hair.
ACCESSORIES: with a strapless dress long, dangling earrings are great. Since the exaggerated fabric rose and leopard print of this dress are complex, a more simple bracelet, shoes, and clutch bag will work best. A cocktail ring would also be fantastic.
UNDERGARMENTS: There are may different kinds of strapless bras on the market, but make sure to look for a simple one with smooth cups. Lace and other embellishments often leave a crumpled look under a strapless dress. Push up bras are also great with strapless bras, even if you don't think you need one. They give the most support and have the most weight to help hold your dress up.
Body shapers are also great to wear with fitted dresses. They also tend to remind us to stand up straight. Posture is very important in every dress, so keep those shoulders back and your head up! =)

Get Real with Sydney's Closet!
We just had a great lunch with the owners of Sydney's Closet, where we talked about the way society refers to larger models as "plus size" and tiny, size zero models, as "normal". We all agreed… it's time for us all to rethink what it is to be a "normal" size.
The dress above is a Dazzling single strap dress by Sydneys Closet 7057 gown.

Milla Jovovich and the Campari 2012 Campaign
The idea behind this campaign is so sexy and original (Milla Jovovich obviously helps too). Go Campari!
"What attracted me to the Campari calendar was number one, the history of Campari," said Milla Jovivich. "I think it's so incredible to be a part of 150th anniversary of an aperitif."
Watch Milla in a challenging number of poses across precisely crafted sets. Whether in a long drapey dress or a tighter ensemble, Milla always has the classic glass of Campari in hand.

3 Easy Work-to-Fabulous Holiday Hairstyles
Going from work to a party can be hectic, but you don't want to skimp on style just because you're short on time! Check out these 3 super simple hairstyles for the holidays, all courtesy of Lauren Conrad. Whether you're a fan of the ex-reality star or not, you have to admit the gal has simple hairstyles down to a science and always looks pulled together and chic.
1. The top knot. This is the hairstyle you either love or hate. Conrad loves it and so do we. It's simple and looks great with a fabulous party dress that sparkles or boasts serious lace detail. It's a chic hairstyle that gets your hair out of the way. Plus, if you're the girl that always wears her hair down, pulling it back will make you look different and special for the occasion. Start with dirty hair (yay!), and bring hair to the round of the head, smoothing out any bumps with a brush. If your hair has flyaways or frizzies, you can apply a smoothing cream before bringing the hair up into a ponytail. Brush through the ponytail and split into two sections. Wind one section around the ponytail elastic and pin with tonal (those that match your own hair color) bobby pins. Do the same with the remaining piece of hair. Use a fine tooth comb and hair spray to get those stubborn flyaways after the bun is in place. We love this hairstyle with winged cat liner.
2. The headband. A sparkly headband looks grownup and fabulous when it's delicate and has subtle shine. You don't want anything with a big bow or mega prints. Stick to a princess-like headband. Conrad chose a gold headband for a book signing, and the look is super simple to pull off and looks fantastic on gals with curly or wavy hair. Enhance your curls or waves with a glossing cream to give them bounce and shine. If your hair is straight, you can set your hair in large rollers or go through it with a curling iron. We're bonkers for this hairstyle because it can be a bit messy and undone and still look great. Part hair where you're comfortable; a deep side part is sassy, while Conrad's middle part is more refined. After parting hair, gather hair loosely at the nape of the neck, roll it, and pin into sections, about 3-4 inches of hair at a time. If it's a bit messy, there's no need to worry. This is a more bohemian look. Add the headband and spray with a soft hold hair spray to avoid the curls from looking too "done." A fun hairstyle like this needs a bright pink lip!
3. The chic ponytail. A ponytail may sound bland, but check out Conrad's take on this basic hairstyle. If your hair is curly or wavy, you can still wear this hairstyle. No need to bust out the flat iron or blow dryer to attempt to make your hair straight. Work a shine serum through hair because whatever the texture is, shiny hair always wins! Create a deep side part with a fine tooth comb. Bring hair over to the opposite side of the part and gather at the nape of the neck. Secure hair with an elastic. Take a piece of hair from the underside of the ponytail and wind it around the elastic and pin with a bobby pin underneath the ponytail. If the hair isn't smooth and doesn't want to wind easily, curl that piece of hair. The spring effect of the curl will let it wrap the elastic in no time. Finish with hair spray to lock the look in. We love this hairstyle with a strapless dress because it adds a little something extra to bare skin at the top of the dress.
