The Empire Strikes Back

-- or so the movie goes, but for Aimee V and Jenny D, there must've been something in the water! No...in all seriousness, the empire dress is one my favorite cuts, because a) it hugs the bust (cleavage!) and b) it's slimming to any figure, because it drapes so easily from the bust-line to the knees.


LITTLE BOW PEEP - The main detail of this Forever 21 number that's missing from Jenny's BCBG dress is the bow, though both dresses were as desirable as the other. Former Roxy Quiksilver MTV Surfgirl and Longboard rider, Aimee Vogelgesang (easier to say than to spell out) of McNeil Wilson Communications, looked adorable in her empire dress at last night's Social Wahine's eco event. Shoes, Banana Republic, vintage bracelet, American Apparel tights and Chanel earrings. As for the bag...how could I have missed it, but a cute leather sac detail to complete the outfit.

TT: Most loved celebrity closet and why?
AV: Cameron Diaz, because her clothes are so laid back, comfortable and chic.


YELLOW HIGHLIGHT - Jenny De Jesus, Associate Editor at Hawaii Home Remodeling Magazine looks so sha-sha-chic in her BCBG jersey dress with concealed side pockets (gotta love those side pockets), Nine West sandals and Express cardigan (is that sweater $10 yet?!). Accessories, vintage locket necklace, Lauren Haupt, Chanel wallet, Fossil watch and Alliway peace bracelet. And hard to tell, but Jenny's also a girl on the move carrying her Samsung Blackjack cell phone. Looking lovely JD!

TT: Favorite piece of clothing you're wearing right now?
JD: My sweater, because it adds color to anything.
