Who Wore it Better? Letoya Luckett vs. Dania Ramirez in Herve Leger

Although we stuck a fork in the Herve Leger trend back in 2008, it seems fashionistas are still running to Leger’s atelier for his skin skimming, positively flattering frocks. Dania Ramirez attended the premiere of the movie “2012” in a yellow number with blush inserts, while Letoya Luckett went for more traditional gray at the 2009 Soul Train Awards:

Both ladies love Leger, but who wore it better?

Of course with brisk weather, you need cozy knit hats, scarfs, and sweaters to keep you warm!

First up: Sweaters:

Halle Berry Janet Jackson Sweaters

This year, opt for more than your traditional turtle and crew necks. Jazz up your wardrobe with tie neck options or fun tunic length sizzlers with fun patterns, hues, and prints:

Sweater Dresses:

Ciara Rihanna Sweater Dress

This is one of my absolute faves as you can simply slip this on with a pair of boots and tights and be on your way! I personally have one dress in black and gray that I wear all the time, then a few other fun frocks that can work for a night out or dinner date:

Scarves:

Celebrity Fashion Scarf

Swaddle your neck in a long scarf that goes well with your personality. Of course have one black, ivory, and gray scarf on hand, then get one in your favorite color (I have this striped baby blue that I LOVE):
