Spotted: Vera Wang, Fall 2010
Why we love it: Several of the hottest trends of the season—pops of black and asymmetry—combine to create one drool-worthy dress. A one-shoulder style is a refreshing alternative to the traditional strapless option.

Spotted: Wtoo, Fall 2010
Why we love it: This gown’s sophisticated streamlined silhouette and sweetheart neckline are super-flattering. A touch of lace draws the eye in at the waist.

Spotted: Anne Barge, Fall 2010
Why we love it: A full tea-length skirt has a charming ’50’s vibe and is perfect for showing off a terrific pair of shoes! Delicate floral detailing is totally on trend.
