I was walking through the Macy’s in Herald Square the other day when a section of clothes caught my eye, the Rachel Roy collection.  It was love at first sight.  Rachel Roy dresses are sexy, cute, and flirty, all at the same time.  It’s really hard for a single piece of clothing to be all three, but Rachel Roy nails it.  The best part about the collection is that Roy really understands a woman’s shape.  I bought the Dart Dress and all of my friends have been going absolutely crazy about the dress, asking me constantly, “Where did you buy that dress?”

I absolutely love the color of this dress and it was only $99!  Rachel Roy clothes all look super expensive, but are quite affordable.  The new dress that I want to bring your attention to though is the Chunky Chain Dress ($109).

I love this dress because it’s a little punk and a little lady-like.  Even if you’re not punk, you can pull it off and even if you’re not the cutesy type (which is me), you can pull it off.  You can dress it down with a pair of casual boots for a shopping trip around 5th avenue or you can dress it up with a pair of sexy heels to go out at night!  Haute PR loves versatility so this dress is perfect.

Most of you know Whitney Port as Lauren Conrad’s trusty sidekick on MTV’s  The Hills and as the hip upcoming designer on The City. We at Haute PR are absolutely obsessed with her new fashion line and we think that many pieces are practical, functional, and are must-haves in any power girls closet. We especially love her Multicolor Cube Shorts, a staple in any wardrobe that even Whitney herself  has tweeted about saying that they are a  “piece I can’t live without this summer”. They have been featured in countless magazines and style blogs for the unique texture, color, and cut of the shorts. Go out and get yourself a pair at revolveclothing.com, whitneyeve.com, and countless other high-end fashion websites.

The first time I saw a Herve Leger dress, it was love at first sight.  The adjectives that would best describe the line include:

  • Sexy
  • Phenomenal
  • Sleek
  • Clean
  • Modern
  • Innovative
  • Samantha Jones-like

The best thing about Herve Leger dresses is that they accent each part of a woman’s body that should be emphasized, while minimizing certain parts of the body (the waist).  Although each Herve Leger dress is quite pricey, the purchases are always worth it because of how great and sexy you feel in them.

One of my favorite clothing brands is TART, which I discovered on Gilt (excellent website).  I now own many shirts from TART and my favorite dress that I own is from there as well.  My favorite part about the clothes is that the material is always high quality and so comfortable against my skin.  I was surfing on the web yesterday and saw this gorgeous dress from the summer 2010 collection of TART.  I think it’s stunning and perfect for the summer (vibrant colors and print, how could you say no).  Not to mention how much I love off-the-shoulder clothes.

The item that would go along perfectly with this dress would be a gold metallic RuMe bag!

The perfect shoes?  The best outfits have the bag and the shoes matching so how about a pair of Akira Strappy Sandals from BCBG Maxazria?

Summer fabulous!!!

More and more designers are jumping in on the trend of designing low-cost lines for big box stores like Target and Kmart, and the newest to join the ranks is Norma Kamali. Her line, exclusively for Walmart, includes swim suits, dresses and casual pieces all for $20 or less! The maxi dress, $15, would be a great staple in any summer wardrobe:
