I Gotta Girl-Crush on Jessica Biel

I really do think she's one of the most gorgeous women.

Making it relevant, I love how she makes an ordinary pair of white jeans look extraordinary:

My fascination with the dress—and how to wear it well—continues:

The girl does have a thing for the classics. 

Black, cream or black-and-cream. 
If in doubt, this is a surefire, go-to elegant look.

And last weekend I had a good one with the start of the Fashion Exposed trade show. 

Fashion Exposed is where retail buyers go to fill their racks for the coming season, spot trends and seek out new designers and labels.

Three days and more than 1,500 brands it was a delicious way to bring in the month of March!

I spent most of my time in the boutique trade show, Premiere. Featuring high-end labels such as American-based favorite CP Shades, French brand Lilith, and the gorgeous Spanish line Desigual, among many other well knows like Alex Perry, Tibi and True Religion.

Even though I believe style should transcend trends...I did spot a few. There remains a nostalgic or vintage feel to style. The importance of layering continues. As for color, mid- to deep purple is a heavy-hitter, coral hasn't disappeared yet and green seems to be on the rise. Metallics are still going strong with gold winning the race.

What's in a Name? Dressology Exposed...

Why Dressology?

A dress is a fabulous metaphor for the study of style...

A great dress can take you from frumpy to fantastic in seconds!

Dresses are classic and feminine. 

They simplify the process of looking stylish.

Dresses are transformational. 

A great dress is as unique and individual as the person wearing it. 

From ballet flats to boots, from sandals to stilettos. Add bling or a simple strand of pearls—how you accessorize transforms your look from Breakfast at Tiffanys to Lady Gaga. 

You can place your personal stamp on how you wear a dress.

Although dresses have come into their own recently, they remain timeless, regardless of the dictates of fashion. 

Much like personal style, a dress can be made unique to reflect your signature style.

Like Coco once said: "Fashion changes, but style endures."
