Gonna go BACK in time!

CoutureCarrie is loving backless dresses, and lucky for us, all three of these beauties are currently on sale at Neiman Marcus! Counterclockwise from top, Marc Jacobs chiffon-sleeve silk wrap dress; Rachel Roy jeweled cutout dress (do I detect some side-boob?); Valentino Roma bow-back dress.

DIY ASYMMETRICAL LOOKS

It's sew time!

The Resort 2009 collections proved that the one-shoulder look is still alive and well.

What better way to channel this lovely,

seasonally appropriate and utterly chic look (as evoked at both Oscar de la Renta, top left, and Calvin Klein, bottom left) than by re-creating it yourself at a fraction of the cost?
