FAMILY JEWELS

Most people like to show off their family jewels and wear their bling with a ring on every finger, their neck adorned with rubies and sapphires, wrists stacked high with precious gems... but Alfred Bosand is taking a different approach in this sophisticated nude gown that actually covers the embroidered bugled beads with a layer of chiffon.  We've had variations of this dress before which I think is the epitome of sophisticated elegance.  You know you are chic, confident, and VERY rich when you aren't advertising your family jewels.

Wishing everyone a very Good Friday.

POLKA DOT FEVER

It is an unwritten rule that a woman's wardrobe is not complete without the playful "polka dots". Polka dots have been a fashion staple to enhance women's femininity for as long as we can remember. This Alfred Bosand retro dress is the very example of feminine and sexy. We guarantee that in this dress you will feel like one of the ladies from Mad Men or perhaps Brigitte Bardot in St. Tropez. Wear this dress during the day for brunch or at night with jewelry and a little sweater and you might end up flamenco dancing.

Winter Fringe

Looking for the perfect winter white this season? I (this is Daniel) love a woman in winter white at a holiday party, it's so unexpected. Most would immediately run to a nice jewel tone covered in rhinestones for that typical "festive" holiday look. Not that there's anything wrong with that, but you will be one in a sea of many.

Lets say you decide to go against the grain, and sport this lovely Alfred Bosand white fringe dress with a platinum Brian Atwoods and white mink Balenciaga capelet (yes, we do have one). Now you will be the glimmering beacon of purity navigating your way through the color spectrum that is a holiday party. Your white fringe swaying ever so gently with every movement, as you peruse the crowd. Ah, the elegance of it all...

There are some light stains close to the bottom of the dress, but the strands of stained fringe can easily be cut off without anyone noticing. That's the amazing thing about having an all fringe dress, if you stain or snag a few strands you can just cut them off and no one's the wiser.
