All New For 2009

I am not sure how I feel about the Maxi Dresses. Perhaps it is because I have done them already in the ’70’s. They arrived on the Style Scene last Summer and they are back again for 2009, and you can find them everywhere. They can be very feminine and for some, a better alternative to a mini dress. They are great for shopping down Robertson in L.A…….backyard barbecues …..and poolside parties! Here are some of the best ones available for maximum style effect. P.S. Please don’t wear them with closed toe pumps……a real maxi dress is not a formal!

Go global chic with Milly’s Ikat Print maxi! This dress is bold and vibrant with a real summery feel. This dress will take you from day to casual evening. $475 at Net-a-porter.com

Find Your own Secret Garden with Beth Bowley’s watercolor maxi.  It’s 100% silk and lovely for $275.00 at ShopTwigs.com

The T-Bags Halter Maxi says “hot time in the Summertime!” It has sex appeal and a bold and bright jersey print. Fab! $229 at ShopBop.com

Tibi’s Floral Maxi Dress (really more geometric looking to me) is a more dressed up look in a maxi. Love the bright…almost neon colors! It’s made of silk crepe de chine…so it will have a nice flow and feel to it. $598 at Saks.com
