Trend Alert: Red Minis

I normally don't think of red as a Summer color, but apparently celebs disagree with me! Celebs like Miranda Cosgrove, Victoria Beckham, Michelle Trachtenburg, and Jennifer Lopez have recently been seen wearing bright red mini dresses either on the red carpet like Michelle and Miranda, out running errands like Victoria, or making a TV appearance like JLo. I already happen to own a mini red shift dress, however, I usually only think to wear it in the fall and winter. But apparently I should think about wearing it this summer! If you are interested in giving this trend a try below are some red minis for you to consider: Ruffle panel side dress for $19.80 on www.forever21.com; Theory "Tyrah" tube dress for $275 on www.piperlime.com; Solid trims tulip dress for $22.80 on www.forever21.com; Ponte capsleeve dress for $11.50 on www.forever21.com; I.N. San Francisco strapless pocket dress for $59 on www.dillards.com; Nanette Lepore "Knot So Fast" dress for $298 on www.nordstrom.com; ADAM double drape strapless dress for $495 on www.shopbop.com; Ports 1961 "Furoshiki" dress on sale for $356.99 on www.saks.com; Phoebe Couture short one-shoulder dress with wavy ruffles for $370 on www.bloomingdales.com.

TODAY: CYP Club/Diamond Cellar Girl's Night Out

The Columbus Young Professionals CLUB is partnering with The Diamond Cellar to present a special event for CYP CLUB women: "CYP CLUB Girl's Night Out."

Experts from The Diamond Cellar will be on hand TODAY from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. at the Easton Town Center Diamond Cellar located at 3960 New Bond Street, Columbus, Ohio 43219 to teach you about the 4 C's of diamond quality. You can browse the largest collection of bridal jewelry in the city and you will be able to see and try on the latest trends in jewelry (lots of silver!) and watches for ladies. And feel free to bring any jewelry you have to get it cleaned on the spot.

We know your time is valuable so we would like to extend an exclusive offer of $100 off the purchase of $300 or more that evening. Light appetizers and beverages will also be provided.

Trend Alert: Peak-a-Boo Lace

Lace is popping up in some unexpected places lately! As seen above on Sarah Jessica Parker, Jessica Biel, Hayden Panettiere, and Christina Ricci, celebs have been seen wearing dresses with lace inserts in some rather interesting places like their midrifts, thighs, and arms. I'm not sure how I feel about the lace inserts above on Jessica and Hayden's dresses and the undercleavage that Christina Ricci is rocking above is never a good thing, but I really am loving the lace inserts on SJP's dress. What do you guys think of this trend? If it is appealing to you, below are some options for you to consider: Helmut Lang lace arm dress on sale for $297.50 on www.shopbop.com; Kova & T "Birdie" dress on sale for $239 on www.revolveclothing.com; Rare lace cut bustier dress on sale for $50.73 on www.asos.com; Rebecca Minkoff "Melanie" dress for $495 on www.shopbop.com; Motel lace insert dress for $59.18 on www.asos.com; Warehouse lace back body con dress for $47.35 on www.asos.com; Vintage "Havana" lace inset tee for $44 on www.bloomingdales.com; TFNC lace insert maxi dress for $76.09 on www.asos.com.
