“… I would be deeply appreciative and re-committed to my New Years resolution of eating well and working out regularly. 🙂“
Alright resolutions! You can get Rihanna’s look for little as nothing with this $30 American Apparel Cotton Spandex Double U-Neck Dress…

Next reader Nicholas fell in love with Mary J’s look in her ‘Just Fine’ video.

Well, it looks like Alicia is wearing a banded Herve Leger dress. Â While one of Leger’s creations could run you $900, you can get an Alicia Keys like look in this $288 BCBG Tiered Satin Beaded Halter Dress…

Lastly, reader Vanessa, who was kind enough to send in a picture…

Hey Vanessa! One of my absolute favorite designers, Diane von Furstenberg, has made of science of placing discreet pockets on pretty feminine dresses (perfect for hot Miami).
