Zaara's Closet

Behold! Another winner from Biscotti! The Florentine Gold Dress  (marked down from US$88 to US$84 at Cameo Baby; size 5-16). The deep burgundy color is very inviting at this time of year, and the cute bubble hem more than makes up for the velvet bolero.  We LOVE! Pair with the gorgeous KS Juniper flat  (US$ 44.95 at Nordstrom) or Pazito ballerina flats (US$68 at Little Luna Blue) for a sweet and sophisticated  look.

Biscotti dresses are normally characterized by an overabundant use of shimmery fabrics, velvet and satin and I was never a fan (yes, I know that one of the Obama girls wore a Biscotti the night her father was elected president; I wasn’t particularly impressed!).  I have to admit, however, that the Fancy That Netting Dress from the 2010 collection is droolworthy, and definitely something I would get for Zaara to wear at a nice evening out. Unfortunately, they don’t make it for little girls. Those of you who have older girls will want to check it out at Cameo Baby. Selling for US$76, size 7-14. Love the color (gun metal? pewter?) and the slim silhouette. Kudos to Biscotti for changing it up! I would pair it with the K S Cait flats (US$44.95 at Nordstrom).
