Ever So Stunning from All Angles
Let the Fall shopping begin! Although we're still basking in the summer rays, the month of August calls for some major fashion preparations and a little revamp to our current wardrobe. Now the school year is just around the corner, you know what that means! One of the biggest events of the year is coming up - HOMECOMING! And just like prom, finding the perfect homecoming dress is extremely important.
This may involve a lot of weekend shopping in order to find THE dress! But luckily, Camille La Vie makes the mission much easier and a whole lot more fabulous!
So this month, we're turning our focus towards showcasing only the HOTTEST styles worthy of gracing your personal fashion closets.
And on today's post, all eyes are entranced on this stunning Print Mesh Halter Dress. The dress is detailed with a feminine print of flowers and butterflies giving a floral, colorful touch partnered with the beautiful tiers of fabric. It is definitely a MUST-OWN piece, especially fitting for the gracious season change!
Another favorite, on-trend dress we would love to give you inspo on is the Two Tone Sweetheart Corset Lace and Sequin Sheath Dress. This dress sits perfectly on the curves with the corset bodice. It is a beautiful dress for a night out and illuminates one's best features. The lace look really brings the look together.
What to Wear to a Black Tie Wedding
When it comes to different dress codes, black tie is likely the one you’ve heard again and again. Maybe it was for last year’s prom night, maybe your cousin’s upcoming wedding. You know it calls for fancy attire in an evening setting, but what exactly makes a dress fall into black tie territory? What type of style should you look for while shopping?
With the most popular wedding season now in full swing (hello, fall!) coupled with the cooling temperatures, a long evening dress is typically the default for a black tie event this time of year. Landed an invite with this common dress code? Lucky you; follow our tips below to shop for your style stress-free.
Does a black tie dress have to be long?
Nope! A fancy cocktail dress with lots of lace, beading, and other embellishments is fine, but like we said, a long evening dress can be more comfortable in fall and winter. Shop some of our black tie dress picks here, or find more in our long evening dress collection.
What about the dress silhouette?
Everything from ballgowns to simple column styles work, but no need to go super grand for a wedding invite (you definitely don’t want to out-do the bride!) Form-fitting shapes like trumpet, mermaid, and column are appropriate and also highlight your frame.
How about dress color?
For a black tie wedding, always respect the bride and avoid white, ivory, and other similar light tones. A rule of thumb: if you even think it’s too light, it probably is; but no worries, there’s plenty of other chic shades to choose from! For fall and winter, stick to neutrals like black, navy, or gold, or have fun with rich tones like emerald, wine, or gunmetal. And of course, black is always a classic option as well.
Let’s talk embellishments
Go all out with head to toe sequins, glitter detailing, heavy beading, and luxe textures like satin, Mikado, and brocade. Whether you prefer to keep it simple or unleash your inner glamazon, there’s a dress for you. Now get shopping!

80's Inspired Evening Dresses
Shining satin. Voluminous tiered skirts. Skin-bearing off the shoulder necklines. When it comes to embracing 80’s fashion, it’s go big or go home. And we know these trends are nothing new; after all, 80’s-inspired style has been everywhere lately, and it’s transcended from streetwear all the way to evening dresses. The question is; are you ready to go big?
Whether it’s a formal event for school or your cousin’s black tie wedding, incorporate pieces of this it-decade into your style for a truly eye-catching appearance. There’s plenty of 80’s influence in the Camille La Vie collection, from short party dresses to long evening gowns. Just keep the event’s dress code in mind while choosing your style; a short dress is fine for a semi-formal, while black tie calls for a long gown. The key to nailing 80’s style? Volume, volume, volume! Go for a classic off the shoulder neckline with a beautiful embroidered bodice, then scale the drama up or down by selecting either a slim-fitting or tiered skirt. 
And there’s no shortage of shine; own the night in satin or sequins, then pile on accessories to your desire. But with dresses like these, you won’t need much; maybe a simple bracelet or chandelier earrings to finish. Complete your look with a chic clutch and you’re officially good to glow. Ready to dial it back to the era of Whitney and Madonna? Shop our top 80’s picks here, or find even more on CLV.com! Xo, Camille
The Hottest Dress Colors for a Fall Wedding
Fall is a shady season…and we’re not just talking about the unpredictable temps. The pretty reds, yellows, and oranges that result from the changing leaves are serious inspo for Fall fashion. Why not complement the season with a new wedding guest dress in a gorgeous hue? We narrowed down 5 of Fall’s finest for your next formal fête.
Wine
This haute hue has its moment every Fall…and is back again for another round! The question is…are you red-y to rock it? Shine from head to toe in a form-fitting wine evening dress bearing a plunging, v-neck, or illusion neckline. No accessories needed…just a dose of attitude.
Black
Lace, sequins, beading…no matter the style, a long black dress is a closet staple. Have a red carpet moment at your next formal event in a halter or plunging gown that’ll send the paparazzi swarming.
Emerald
A rich jewel tone appears effortlessly elegant in any Fall setting. Look ever-so regal in an emerald evening dress, whether it’s an A-line satin dress or chiffon strapless number. Simply slip on your style and prepare to wow with each step. After party, anyone?
Gold
Golden girl status! Shine with the best of ‘em in Fall’s favorite metallic. It’s our gilt-y pleasure…and about to be yours too. Own the night in a metallic plunging style, dazzling strapless dress, or an illusion neckline number that’s nothing short of stunning.
Navy
If turquoise is the young, fun member of the blue family, meet its sophisticated older cousin, navy! A classic for Fall, this hue will never go out of style, and is perfect when you don’t want to go full drama in all black. Turn heads in a figure-flattering sequin or satin navy evening dress.
