Billion Dollar Babes Finds

I posted a discussion about the recent Billion Dollar Babes sale in San Francisco a few weeks ago but I need to wax poetic about my “finds” once again.

I just wore my new Black Halo Jackie-O dress today and I just LOOOOVE it!
Just for kicks I did a search on the dress and found that I got a pretty smokin’ deal on it. Get this: I paid $199 at the Billion Dollar Babes Sale and it retails on the web for $378. My dress is in a dark pewter. The fabric is a black with pewter silver thread stretchy herringbone..

Frankly, I think this gal looks too skinny in this shot. I think it's much sexier with curves.

But let me say this: I would pay twice the retail price on this dress. It is a timeless classic. Granted, the shiny fabric may be out next year but the cut alone is just amazing.
I would have bought an additional dress in black but I already have something similar in my closet. I actually saw a few women trying this dress on at the Billion Dollar Babes event and everyone looked fantastic in it.

I also picked up this fitted vest. You are going to die: I bought it for $69! It’s $278 on the web!
I think I’ll wear this with a little tank top and a pair of Jeans…
Can’t wait.

I love that dress too. Dresses are so great because the only thinking you have to do in the morning is shoes and one or two accessories.

The Black Halo dress is a great buy because it's a nice cut and a classic style! In fact, this dress in any color would be great! I'm not a fan of the vest, although it is very "Kate Moss". I missed this BDB Event, but I have been to a previous one; it seems they have different brands each time, which is fabulous.

I love Black Halo, their clothes have a great cut. I just went to the sample sale in LA. No jackie-o dress or all those other designs seen on celebs lately but I did score great tops/dresses for $10-20.
