The amazing Zac Posen has been the latest fabulous designer to create a collection for TARGET; and a fabulous dress requires some fabulous heels. Fortunately, I found both the dress and the killer heels just in time. First, let’s take a look at the dress and then we will get into the shoes!

Ruffles, ruffles, and ruffles- oh  my! I love the subtle contrast the navy color gives against the black, and the sheer shiny brilliance is purely a bonus. Fitted underneath and voluminous waist down, this is a stunning piece. When looking online, it seems this beautiful design also comes in an all red version. I wasn’t fortunate enough to find it in a store, but I still am all about the two tones seen here (Besides, I already have my red dress!).

Now, what I didn’t realize at first was that this is actually two pieces. Not a top and a bottom, but a full on dress with the decor being the second piece. The black fitted portion can be worn as a dress on its own, or it can be elaborated with the second piece, the ruffles, as seen in the photos above. I’m curious to play around with the ruffles to see how I can mix it with the rest of my wardrobe. They are too fabulous to be left alone!

Now, on to the shoes!

ZAHIR: KILL HEEL

With a name like kill heel, you know I had to have them. Mwah. And they look the part. Elegant with a beautiful arch and subtle round toe- these shoes are a classic with a beautiful texture and feel. They dress up any outfit, or as in the case with this elaborate dress, make a perfect compliment. We all need a perfect pair of heels for “that special dress” and for me it’s the kill heel from Zahir. I’ve been looking at more shoes from Zahir after having fallen in love with these, they have a very runway look and feel to them without going overboard.

The bottom has a clever and very nice design of Zahir’s branding, but what’s interesting about it is that because the text is raised it gives you a great grip as you walk. This makes each step very powerful and comfortable. Design with function- love it.

*Sigh* Dress and shoe heaven, nominess. Even my fashion kitty, Aveline, approves, ha!
