Say Hi To Lily!

Yellow Beaded Strapless Floor-Length Prom Evening Dress

Strapless Prom Dresses

Fabric:     Imitated silk fabric

Style:     A-line  high waist, strapless styling, beaded waist tape, floor-length

Graceful bandeau dress features a striking bead embellishment to waist, creating a slender waist. Ruched bodice

provides with a great way to keep a bust shape. The gathered empire seam waist beautifully creates a small waist. A

variation of pleats on the front creates a fabulous fit, released down to a long length. Fits true to size with a back zip

closure. Concise and elegant, it is all that a magical evening dress should be.

Since everyone is always asking why our store is named Lily Boutique, I thought I’d do a blog post to explain.  The store was named after my dog:

Lily is a 7 year old Maltese and an unofficial employee of Lily Boutique.  She loves coming to work with us every day, so if you call the store and hear barking in the background, it’s just her trying to get attention. 

Lily is a little uncomfortable with having her picture taken and always tries to turn away from the camera or run away and hide–she needed a little encouragement in order for us to get a few good pictures:

As it turns out, Lily’s pretty photogenic!  I think she deserves some extra treats for participating in this photo shoot.

Jessica Chastain

No matter how many red carpets I watchJessica Chastain glide down, I can't seem to get enough of her incredible style. This is a girl who knows what she likes and knows how to dress for her body type, and she did just that last week atamfAR's 20th Annual Cinema Against AIDS event in this slinky red number from Saint Laurent.

A one-shoulder dress is always inherently sexy, but Jessica amped up the sultry factor with strategically placed cutouts near the bust for a look that says alluring, not slutty. She kept the rest of her look simple, with a pretty cuff at the wrist and no other jewelry. Yes folks, sometimes less really is more when you're wearing a dress this stunning!

The final verdict? Wearing your locks in wet waves can give your formal look a cool factor you can't get with any amount of costume jewelry. Lesson learned here, ladies? Use your beauty to your advantage to turn your look into one that truly suits your style.

Isla Fisher

In honor of Isla's new movie Now You See Me (out in theaters today!) and the fact that we can officially wear white now (for those of you who believe in that fashion rule), I just had to give a shout out to this chic Dolce & Gabbana dress the actress wore to a photocall for her other hit movie, The Great Gatsby.

Dressing to impress doesn't have to take much effort, and Isla proves that with this beautifully simple look. A soft white dress with a bit of texture adds dimension to the look, her black pumps give a dose of class, and her soft wavy locks and bold red look add a bit of bombshell allure to this outfit.

The final verdict? This look is perfect for any special event you might have coming up, or just for another day at the office. You can dress it up with accessories when you want to look a bit more fancy or play down the look with a cool leather jacket. It's up to you!

Kourtney Kardashian

Birds of a feather, flock to Vegas together?Kourtney Kardashian hit Sin City in this avian-inspired outfit to celebrate her baby daddy Scott Disick's 30th birthday, along with her momKris Jenner. The Keeping Up with the Kardashians star and mother of two wore a purple lace top and a peacock-esque black feathered skirt for the occasion.

We like Kourt's colorful lace top. It's a great way to show some skin, which is practically required in Vegas, while still keeping it classy. But her skirt is for the birds! Feather earrings or accessories are fine, but an entire skirt made from them is overkill, and we bet PETA is already drafting an angry letter if those are actually real. Can you imagine how many birds would have to die to make this skirt?

The final verdict? Kourtney's instinct to wear lace was a good one and we wish she simply stuck to a lace dress or a simple black miniskirt to complete her look. We're not wild about that blue eye makeup either, but we hope the busy parents had a fun night out together!

Stacey Keibler

Stacey Keibler usually nails it when it comes to red carpet fashion, but we're unsure about this Michael Kors floral print dress she wore in Monaco. George Clooney's better half stepped out for the Amber Fashion Lounge at Hotel Le Meridien all covered up in this ensemble.

On one hand, the oversized bright pink floral print is pretty and pops nicely against the black, but the skirt seems wide and bulky on her svelte frame. We think a more streamlined, fitted version of the skirt would have been more flattering. And then there's the odd turtleneck top, which would be more appropriate for winter and not summer.

The final verdict? Her dress feels off season but it's not a total disaster. Perhaps Stacy just wanted to wear something super modest, since she had a wardrobe malfunction on the same trip. At the Formula 1 Grand Prix race, she forgot to zip the side of her jumpsuit, exposing her pink thong. Oops!

Jenny McCarthy

We all know Jenny McCarthy is a super-hot 40-year-old and she's in Vegas for the Billboard Music Awards, but that's no reason to dress like you're working the Strip. Jenny wore a black tank with a long, sequined maxi length skirt for the occasion.

The outfit feels too casual yet trying too hard to us at the same time, which isn't an easy feat to pull off. From the massive amounts of cleavage and exposed midriff to the strategically placed slits all over her skirt, this ensemble screams, "I may be a mom and successful television show host, but I still shop at Forever 21!"

We know Jenny has a rocking body and she's in Sin City, but let's leave a little to the imagination! Take a hint from Selena Gomez, who wore a long white dress with some sexy cutouts, or Jennifer Lopez, who chose a plunging Zuhair Murad dress with a sheer train.

The final verdict? Pick one part of your amazing figure to show off at a time, Jenny. Also, those hideous spiky platform boots have got to go! Save 'em for the Strip, sister.

Alyssa Milano

While Jenny was showing way too much skin,Alyssa Milano took it to the other extreme and decided to rock a muumuu to the Billboards. We're not sure why she's so covered up, considering temperatures in Vegas were in the 90s that day. Is she afraid of getting a sunburn?

The top part of her outfit isn't so bad, although it seems a bit "Grandma goes to Atlantic City" to us. If her outfit was simply the top dress portion, she wouldn't have landed on our fashion fails list. But it's those bolero pants with sheer paneling that really have us puzzled. Pants shouldn't be worn with dresses in the summer, and the wide leg cut isn't flattering.

The final verdict? Ditch the pants, please! Or try a pantsuit if you're worried about a possible wardrobe malfunction or paparazzi getting a shot of your ladyparts while you're exiting the limo. Alyssa's pompadour hairdo is also a don't in our book.

Fashion, food world fete Kevin West's 'Saving the Season'

Beaded Pleated Ruched Boatneck A-Line Tulle Evening Dress

Prom Dresses with sleeves Silhouette: A-line  Neckline: Boatneck  Waist: Empire  Hemline/Train: Floor-length  Sleeve Length: Cape Sleeve  Embellishments: Draping, Beading, Ruching/Pleated  Fabric: Tulle  Built-In Bra: Yes  Fully Lined: Yes  Shown Color: Grape  Body Shape: Hourglass, Pear, Rectangle, Inverted Triangle  Occasion: Prom, Evening  Season: Spring, Fall, Winter, Summer

Band of Outsiders' creative director Scott Sternberg and Bon Appétit editor in chief Adam Rapoport hosted a dinner at downtown's Grand Central Market on Tuesday night in honor of style writer turned canning wunderkind Kevin West and his new book "Saving the Season: A Cook's Guide to Home Canning, Pickling, and Preserving."

Before the 100-person, Southern-flavored dinner, guests from the worlds of art, fashion and food including Doug Aitken, Liz Goldwyn, China Chow, Katherine Ross, Zoe Cassavetes, Bret Easton Ellis and Vogue's West Coast editor Lisa Love, milled about among bales of stratgically placed hay and drank cocktails and Pabst Blue Ribbon beer from canning jars. 

As if that wasn't indication enough, the evening wasn't much on formalities, with Rapoport and Sternberg making only the briefest of remarks before the feast commenced. "I wanted to acknowledge this evening as a fusion of the worlds of fashion and food," said Sternberg, "that I don't think could happen anywhere else but Los Angeles."

Sternberg drew a parallel to West's career arc. “Over the years we've all seen this strange, interesting and wonderful juxtaposition between what he was -- which was the sort of guy who wrote about skewering socialites -- and what he is now -- which is a guy who spends all day skewering pickles."

With a roar of laughter from the guests, Sternberg and Rapoport took the opportunity to raise their canning jars in toast to West as bowls of pickled vegetables and platters of barbecued pork spare ribs and pork belly began to land on tables.

As West began to circulate among the guests, one of them remarked about his outfit -- a pair of dark denim jeans, a white, linen button-down shirt and a white, one-button notch lapel blazer, "Only you would wear white to a barbecue," they said.

Yes, it was just that kind of a crowd.

And if you happen to read this in time, West will be discussing the book and signing copies at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday at Skylight Books, 1818 N. Vermont Ave., Los Angeles.

A tweed jacket worn by Steve McQueen in the 1968 film "Bullitt" will go up for auction on July 29, Profiles in History announced Wednesday.

While there certainly seems to be no shortage of fame-adjacent apparel on the auction block these days -- a negligee that once belonged to Monica Lewinsky and a pair of Levi's worn by Luke Skywalker are two recent examples -- this jacket occupies a special place in the pantheon of the male movie wardrobe.

That''s because the McQueen mythos looms large; I can't even begin to count the number of celebrities and menswear designers I've spoken to over the course of my career that namecheck the late actor when asked about style icons or fashion inspiration.

And because "Bullitt" is arguably McQueen's most influential movie, style-wise, even today the Internet is full of conversations that dissect every aspect of what's seen on screen from the car he drove in the big chase scene (a 1968 Mustang GT 390) to the watch he wore on his wrist (a Heuer).

Profiles in History's description of the jacket, which goes under the gavel at the end of next month, reads in part:

"This jacket is the brown herringbone tweed jacket, with suede elbow patches, that was custom made for Hollywood legend Steve McQueen ... McQueen wore this jacket throughout the second half of the film. McQueen wears this distinctive jacket while on the hitman’s trail, during the iconic car chase, while riding with Jacqueline Bisset in her yellow Porsche cabriolet in San Mateo, at the police station, in the Coroner’s office and the climactic chase on foot at San Francisco International Airport where 'Bullitt' finally kills the mobster and places this jacket over the dead body."

According to the auction house, the jacket was once on exhibit at the Warner Bros. studio museum, is fully authenticated by the seller and a letter of authenticity will be included with the lot.

Profiles in History estimates the jacket will fetch between $600,000 and $800,000 at the auction, which is scheduled for *Monday, July 29 in Los Angeles.  

Though everyone knows you can't really put a price tag on that kind of cool.

With the Supreme Court deciding two marriage equality cases Wednesday, and Twitter reaction coming fast and furious, I was interested to see how the fashion industry would respond.

The industry has been incredibly supportive of gay rights over the years. Isaac Mizrahi and Michael Kors recently married their same-sex partners, while Tom Ford, Christian Siriano and other designers have spoken out on the issue in interviews. Vogue Editor in Chief Anna Wintour released a video stating her opinion that the right to marry is as fundamental as the right to vote.

And yet, American designers and brands have been largely quiet on Twitter on Wednesday morning. Michael Kors, Calvin Klein, Tommy Hilfiger, Ralph Lauren, Diane von Furstenberg and others have not commented on the rulings.

Here are a few Tweets from designers and brands that have appeared in support of the decisions.

Marc Jacobs Intl ‏@MarcJacobsIntl

We at MJ are proud of our country! The Supreme Court has voted down DOMA. Thank you JusticeAnthony M. Kennedy!

Its a home run for gay rights today. Not a grand slam but a good home run. Next stop all 50 states. Justice Kennedy. YOU are my hero - PG

Hello there and Happy Tuesday babes! First of all, SORRY for being gone almost a week from my blog andYoutube. I honestly had one of those “I need a break” moments and decided to take a break from editing and all that jazz. I did still film and take pictures for my blog and channel because I love what I do. I just find the editing process of it all so BORING! Anyway, I posted a little glimpse of this look a few days back on my Instagram, so if you follow me there you’re more likely to get previews of upcoming posts and videos.

I was (and still am) a huge fan of overalls/coveralls since I was a little girl in the 90′s. I surprisingly wore them the most during the early 2000′s in high school. They where the big trend in my 9th and 10th grade year in school. Now they’ve made a huge comeback, especially in Europe. To pull this look off you have to have a very rugged look, like you just rolled out of bed and threw these on. Next time I’ll make sure to have bed hair and a pair of old Converse with a cute but plain snapback to change the look just a tad. I bought mine from Zara because I wanted to make sure I bought a pair that would last me another 10 years.

PS: Also try rocking a bandeau or cropped top underneath for sex appeal!
