CLV x Stephanie Danielle: Dresses for Every Destination
If you were to ask us about our dream vacation, two destinations that would top the list are Paris, France, and Portofino, Italy. Both dreamy European cities offer their own unique charm; the colorful cliffs of Portofino and the urban-chic streets of Paris. So as you can guess, we were super excited to style Stephanie Danielle, fashion blogger and creator of The City Blonde, for her recent travels to these gorgeous places!
Whether you are lucky to have your own ticket booked or simply love fashion inspired by beautiful cities, continue scrolling for a look book of Stephanie’s stunning photoshoots. We also pulled a few of our own evening dress picks inspired by Paris and Portofino, so you can embody the European vibes for a destination event…or a local RSVP!
Shop: Mermaid Dress with Plunging Neckline
Shop: Satin Pleated Dress Halter Plunge Dress Flower Print Ballgown Sequin Trumpet Dress Taffeta Trumpet Dress
First up, Portofino. Stephanie popped against the picturesque Italian coastline in a red mermaid dress bearing a flattering plunge neckline and open back. The warm hue complemented the pretty colored buildings lining the village. Follow her lead and capture the essence of Portofino by selecting a style with few or no embellishments, and also doesn’t compete with the shades of the Riviera. Stick to wine, red, gold, or green in sleek fitted silhouettes. Or, if you’re feeling especially fancy (say, for a gala!) slip into a floral ball gown that’s basically its own work of art.
Oh, Paris. For the City of Light, Stephanie wore a pink high low dress adorned with elegant beading. The subtle embellishments against the silky Mikado texture feel tres chic for a picture-perfect day in Paris. (and can we talk about that Eiffel Tower backdrop for a sec?!)
Shop: Mikado Antique Beaded High Low Dress
Shop: Metallic Knit Dress Long Sleeve Dress Tank Plunge Dress Pleated Metallic Dress Long Sleeve 3-D Dress
Parisian fashion is all about minimalist style with an element of surprise; think classic, unfussy silhouettes bearing 3-D florals or sleeves lined in pearls. Unlike the poppy shades of Portofino, for Paris stick to neutral hues; black, white, navy, or even a soft rose pink. Effortless elegance, right this way.
Whether you’re jetting across the Atlantic or driving one town over, we’ve got dresses for every destination. Shop cocktail dresses and long evening dresses for any occasion now!
Happy travels!

Style Guide: Necklines
There are several aspects of a dress that make it “flattering.” The skirt. The back. And let’s not forget, the neckline. While the skirt takes into account style and mobility (think of navigating the room in a ballgown versus a short fit and flare!) the neckline is strictly about style, and not to mention, is on display whether you’re sitting, mingling, or busting a move on the dance floor.
An ill-fitting neckline is a recipe for disaster, and a special event like homecoming or a wedding is especially no time for a wardrobe malfunction. So what type of dress neckline is right for you? Honestly, it depends on which feature you’d like to highlight. School may not be in session just yet, but consider this your crash course guide to necklines, just in time for homecoming.
Off the Shoulder
Shop: Strapless Mesh Metallic Dress
Excuse us as we do alllll the ballerina twirls in this adorable off the shoulder dress! Whether it’s for homecoming or a destination wedding (the beach, perhaps?), an off the shoulder neckline is tops for highlighting your neck, chest, and shoulders.
V-Neck
Shop: Stretch Taffeta Strappy Back Dress
Simple and universally flattering, a v-neckline is as classic as it gets. Add this timeless fit and flare to your closet and never second-guess what to wear for a semi-formal event.
Halter
Shop: Short Two Tone Metallic Tier Dress
A halter neckline sits high on the neck and is perfect if you’re seeking a more modest cut. Choose a halter if you’d like your shoulders to take the spotlight; we love this tiered metallic style for #HOCO19!
Strapless
Shop: Strapless Satin Drape Slit Dress
Another timeless option, a strapless dress shows off the chest, neck and shoulders. Don’t forget to accessorize with a pretty jeweled necklace and chandelier earrings; they’d gorgeously complement this satin slit dress.
Sweetheart
Shop: Sweetheart Strapless Party Dress
Similar to a strapless style, a sweetheart neckline is named as such because it looks like-you guessed it-the top of a heart. This style accentuates the chest, neck, and shoulders for a chic, Hollywood glam finish. Complement this sweetheart style with delicate gold or silver jewelry.
Plunging
Shop: Double Strap Beaded Belt Waist Dress
Possibly the most risqué of all, a plunging neckline is cut deeper than a v-neck. RSVP to your next black tie event with this stunning beaded evening dress.
One Shoulder
Shop: Metallic Knit One Shoulder Dress With Strappy Cascade Back
If you’re looking for a more unique style, a one shoulder neckline is your best bet. This style draws the eye to your arms and shoulders, like this elegant metallic evening dress with a cape-like back. We predict endless compliments already.
Now that you're a pro at necklines, shop dresses for weddings, homecoming, and more now!
