Modern Little Black Dress

Lauren Anderson photography

Dress: Marc by Marc Jacobs via Nordstrom Rack (unavailable – similar here & here) // Earrings: John Hardy // Heels: Stuart Weitzman // Ring: John Hardy // Bracelets: John Hardy: Classic Chain semi-preicious stone bracelet; Classic Chain Diamond bracelet; Bamboo silver Lava cuff; Naga silver lava & enamel cuff; Batu Naga gold & silver dragon head bracelet

Every gal needs at least one little black dress in their closet. I am a fan of this modern take on it because of the kimono like details, with a high-neck and wrap front. I also love the modernity that the zipper details bring into the dress.

Paired with the ultimate stack of John Hardy bracelets – I’m armed and ready to conquer the world (pun intended). My mom has always worn John Hardy, and I have a few pieces myself, but I love the latest collections the line has to offer. Most of the above pieces are from the Bamboo and Naga Collections, and can be found locally here in Houston at Lewis Jewelers. What’s fantastic about the Bamboo Collection is for every item purchased, John Hardy takes some of the proceeds and puts it towards replanting Bamboo plants that may’ve otherwise no longer been there. I last featured some pieces from the Naga Collection on the blog here; each piece has a twist of femininity while playing on the masculinity of a dragon head and chain link.
