Fashionista Closet: 1 Dress; 4 Styles- Eight Sixty- 'Body Con' Cutout Knit Dress

Dense. Stretchy. Form fitting. The new Eight Sixty "Body Con" Cutout Knit Dress in black is the perfect dress/tunic each girl should have in their closet. Below are 4 different ways to wear this little black dress.

1) Starting clockwise from the top left corner- tights from GAP, a pleated Net A Porter skirt, and sky high black Bebe shoes the dress CAN be worn as a top. Trust me, I've done it and so have many of my friends. As a frugal fashionista you begin to think of many versatile ways something can be worn. The back cut out is ideal since you are covering up in the front.This outfit is great for work (just change the shoes) and going out for drinks.

2) Chocolate buckle knee boots, black leggings, and a Marc Jacobs cardigan is a perfect ensemble for a casual day out running errands or lunch with friends.

3) A silk sequin chiffon jacket by J Crew, Steven Madden ankle booties, and a Max and Chloe cocktail ring is my ideal outfit. Sexy, yet classy; Edgy, yet feminine the look is just right for a night out with the girls or date.

4) The last look is all about the accessories. Think of the dress as a blank canvas, beautiful alone yet it can be accentuated to it's full potential if you add a little something.

All the items above can be mixed and matched in their own right. With such a versatile dress the possibilities are endless. Be sure to visit Shop Moderne to order your Eight Sixty Dress today! *Enter tabs21 at check out for 10% off.

Moderne Gift Guide 2010: 5 items to cover your list

If you haven't done your Christmas shopping yet you are in luck! Moderne is going to hook you up with the 5 best gift items.

#1. For all you eco-friendly geeky types, the Alternative Earth collection is for you! With shirts, cardigans, hoodies and even sleeveless hoodies to choose from it's difficult to decide which to buy. Personally, I LOVE the new Unisex Rocky Eco-Fleece Zip Hoodie in gray. Great for either your boyfriend or girl-friend this hoodie is practical and affordable. (Do your research before you buy, trust me, Moderne's is cheaper!)




#2 Want the Skinny on the best accessory for your lovely fingers? Than look no further, Skinny by Jessica Elliot has designed a "floating" ring that takes the idea of the double "knuckle" ring but gives it a feminine twist. This ring is a favorite of celeb singer Rhianna and has been featured in magazines People StyleWatch and InStyle. This trendy ring is a must have- available in 5 colors.



#3 on our list is the Yummie Tummie Tank. This tank not only smoothes away those unsightly bumps and lumps but it is stylish. One of the most practical and essential items in all of our closets this tank with soft cotton fabric has a spandex tummy panel is perfect under any shirt or blouse. *Great layering piece- available in 2 colors

.#4 This one is for your guys or ladies who are in need of a perfect present for their other half. Just a Cheap Shirt designed woven shirt in gray and red is great to wear on all occasions- dinner with the girlfriend, hanging with the boys, or a night out to the club (just remember to pair with dark jeans to make the look more club appropriate).






#5 My favorite of the five! Someday it will be mine! Muahaha. In all seriousness though, I have never tried this jacket on so who knows if it would look good on ME. However, what I do know is this jacket is to die for. The jacket can literally compliment any outfit- it can be worn with jeans, a tank and flats or a dress and high heels. All you fashionistas out there better buy one now, it's even equipped with front pockets!

Tabby's Top 5: Holiday Picks for the Ladies

This Eight Sixty Blush Dress- this versatile dress in dark grey over lay on blush silk is great for all types of holiday parties. Every woman is different- Some prefer to wear a classy just above the knee type of dress while others don’t mind showing off a little more skin then usual. This dress is perfect for all types of women, showing enough leg and neck. It’s built in tie is a great way to accentuate the waist.

This new Eight Sixty “Body Con” Knit Dress with V neck and mini cap sleeves is sexy and elegant. With the edgy exposed back zipper and back cutouts this dress will have everyone doing a double take. This dress is ideal for wearing to both a holiday party and a night out on the town.

My favorite of the five- Designed by Sky this Morena Mini Dress in forest has the same amount of sophistication it does sexiness. While it might be a little short (ladies remember no wear underwear, don’t bust a Brittany) the full long sleeve with ruching along the neck line saves the dress from being TOO sexy. I love my sexy dresses so I personally would wear this to every type of holiday party.

The ultimate holiday skirt! Eight Sixty Sequin Mini is so versatile it can be worn many ways. I’ve even seen ladies all around town wear a sequin skirt during the day to work and at night. Remember it just depends on what you pair the skirt with- a V neck shirt, long sleeve sweater and boots or like the outfit pictured below with a low neck line and heels.

*New Line Alert* Charlie Jade designed Divia Strapless Dress is the definition of thee holiday dress. It’s sweetheart neckline and Ombré shading are perfect compliments to the gathered bodice that leads to the abstract skirt. It even has rubber grip along the top for security. ( No fussiness here!)

#2

Eight Sixty- Faux Fur Vest

Ok, not the best outfit, but the cutest vest and it's super soft.

Don't worry- it's faux fur so no one has to get angry.

Styling Tip: Super easy to throw over a casual dress, layer with Carol Marie necklaces, some flat military style boots and you are set for a casual day in the city.

Dress it up at night with a chic top, skinny jeans, leggings, skirt and tights ... and pair with your kiiller heels, booties, boots.

#3

Just A Cheap Shirt- Mens Orange / Turq Woven

See guys, we haven't forgotten about you. This is a great color blend, very fall esque.

LOVES IT.

#4

Mink Pink- Hells Angels Moto Leggings

Ok, obvi not the whole legging but check out the detail. Super chic and edgy, so much hotter than your regular leggings.

Wear this day or night.

#5 LAST BUT NOT LEAST:

Fluxus- Funk Top

Ok, seriously this is a celebrity style staple.

Chrarlize Theron, Ashley Greene, Dakota Fanning, Nicky Hilton - just to name a few. It's so easy to wear and throw on with jeans or even go super casual with yoga pants / leggings.

Something comfy for everyday.

There you have it. Moderne's OCTOBER Top 5.
