The "LRD", although not as popular as it's BFF, the little black dress, seems to be making a valiant effort to gain attention as of late. Here are some celebs sporting the trend as well as some budget-smart options for the rest of us. Hugs, Miss Bea

the little red dress

Valentino Couture Fall 2010

Poor little red dress. Always in the shadow of it's more famous cousin. And yet, if you really want to make an entrance, walk into a room with one of these little stunners on. I'm a firm believer that anyone can wear red...it just depends on the shade. If you look better in cooler colors, then look for a blue-red...warmer colors, try on more of an orange-red. If wearing a little red dress is a little too much of a leap for you, try jumping into red with a skirt paired with a black or white top. Maybe use pops of red in your accessories...a little red clutch, some cute red flats, a red patterned scarf...or even try a sheer red lip gloss.

Here are a few red dresses under or around $100. Hope you'll take the plunge and wear one during this holiday season! Go red! Miss Bea.
