Via our friends at thefind.com:
One of our favorite silhouettes for spring is the asymmetric one shoulder dress. Grecian togas were perhaps the first asymmetric fashion, but the one shoulder frock for the modern woman comes in all shapes and sizes. From floor length red-carpet gowns to ultra-minis and everything in between including blouses,jumpsuits and kaftans.
In the realm of the one shoulder dress our favorites include a grey Chloé one shoulder cotton jersey cocktail dress that speaks to us with its minimal simplicity created by voluminous inverted pleats and a seamed yoke. Next the Narciso Rodriguez color block dress makes the bare shouldered look bold and graphic with contrast banding at the neckline and hem. A bold statement to indulge your inner modernist – wear Rodriguez’s one shouldered number on a first-date or a sushi uptown at Masa. Marc Jacobs’ silk color-block onesie has playful written all over it. You will be the cool girl that everyone notices at this summer’s street fairs. Elasticized at the waist framing the exact spot you will want to place a wide (very wide) belt around your waist.
Pair these cheeky one shoulder numbers with caged platform sandals or t-strap platform sandals.

A bustier dress has been defined over and over again as the ultimate in sexy. Although a bustier top or dress by Jean Paul Gaultier or Proenza Schouler would be ideal, an inexpensive price point is more in line with reality these days. That makes this Pleated Bust Dress, $32 an exceptional find. Available in three colors, my choice would be black, as you can definitely get extra mileage out of it that way.

While perusing the ginormous Bed, Bath & Beyond on 23rd Street last weekend, my boyfriend pointed out something rather comical; this Ed Hardy shower curtain, which seemed quite of place amongst the terry towels, vinyl curtains, and wicker baskets.
So apparently, Ed Hardy has teamed up with Bed, Bath & Beyond to create a home line. Remember earlier in the week when I mentioned that some collaborations between designers and brands are just plain weird? Add this one to your list, please. I guess there are die-hard Ed Hardy customers out there, but this tatooed design stuff, at least to me, is incredibly ugly. Besides the fact that Ed Hardy is pretty much overkill at this point, and for most people is not aesthetically pleasing, the prices on the Ed Hardy Bed & Bath line are just plain offensive.
The aforementioned Ed Hardy Love Kills Slowly Fabric Shower Curtain is $150!!! There are other items as well, like the Pepto-Bismal pink duvet set (full/queen) for $330, or the Ed Hardy Eagle Gold Full/Queen Mini Duvet Cover Set for $430 (full/queen), or even a bowler-bag style Ed Hardy Diaper Bag for a mere $120. As far as I’m concerned, this whole thing is beyond words, and I just don’t get the draw…besides the cast of “Tool Academy” who’s buying this stuff?
