Trend Alert: Luxe Lace

From the runway to the red carpet, lace is leaving its mark on this fall and winter season. From simple ready- to-wear pieces like t-shirts and camis, to lace booties, it is hard to deny the power of this luxurious fabric in today’s fashion. While these can be gorgeous add on pieces, if you really want to rock this trend invest in a lace dress or skirt. Lace dresses are classic, feminine and are still widely shown for spring 2011! This is a trend with some staying power, so try it out today!

How to get the Luxe Lace Look

• Quality fabric is key! Luxe lace is all about richness, so look for lace that is soft and smooth to the touch.

• Less is more! Keep accessories minimal. Stick with simple, understated jewelry and a small clutch bag to let the dress do all the talking. Hair and make-up should also follow this rule. Try a simple, effortless updo paired with a neutral eye and a classic red or mauve lip.

• Keep it monotone! For those colder days, pair with a matching color boyfriend blazer or bolero. This will keep your look uniform and will ensure your lace is the main attraction. 

Get luxed at Miss Ruby!
Here are some luxe lace options that you'll find at Miss Ruby - perfect for holiday parties & wedding receptions.

• Frock! By Tracy Reese offers fun and flirty lace options that mix color and fabric with a touch of luxury.

• Suzi Chin for Maggie London offers the perfect little lace black dress for all occasions. The asymmetrical neckline keeps the look youthful yet modest, while the fluttering side ruffle gives the dress a little splash of sexiness!

Style it: Harvard Dress

Won’t you be the smartest girl on campus, while you strut around town in the Harvard?! I have personally bought this dress, and it was the smartest thing I have done all season. Not only is this dress versatile for all occasions, it will keep you warm, cozy and stylish all at the same time!

Keep it Casual - Whether you are out for coffee with your friends or running some weekend errands, this look will keep you comfy and looking cool at the same time.

• Wear the Harvard as a tunic and pair it with a pair of leggings or skinny jeans to keep you looking fabulous while it’s freezing out.
• Slip on a pair of metallic flats to keep your outfit proportioned. Perfect for those on-the-go days.
• Accessorize with bangles or add a belt to give your look a little more power.

Dress it Up - Just by changing a few accessories, the Harvard becomes the perfect dress for a wine night out with the girls or a dinner date with the boyfriend.

• These clever cover-up booties are all the rage this fall and they pair perfectly with the fold-over collar on the dress. Pair with matching opaque tights for that sexy seamless look that will make your legs look like they go on for days!
• Grey is the hottest color for fall, add a girly touch with a grey ruffle or stud bag.
• For a little extra bling try a long dangly earring or feather earring to finish off the look.
• Baby, its cold outside! Try a wool sweater wrap or leather motorcycle jacket for a little extra warmth.
