Daily Diva Dressing

We’ve learned a few things over the years. First, it’s impossible to look confident, sexy and fashionable at all times, unless you’re a styled starlet. Second, the off days happen much less frequently when fashion is easy to find.

Resembling a European mansion more than just another store, the newMarciano on Robson, which opened just last week, had us thinking we’re celebutants in the making.  With delicate chandeliers and white shabby-chic armchairs in the changing area, we were instantly transformed into Hilton or van der something or another.

Adding to our high-society-like experience was the curve-hugging lines of the Reagan racerback dress ($158) in electric blue.  (It would’ve made Ms. Mortimer blush, but not us.)  We loved how the gold buttons down the side—circa Elizabeth Hurley in her Versace gold safety pin days—accentuated our tiny waist.  Also spotted: the Isidoro dress ($158), whose slinky, empire waist and cinched thighs would surely make our derrières the center of attention.

And for afternoon tea (an everyday occurrence, no doubt)? The floral eyelet, crème hued Elena jacket($218) with patch pockets suited us to perfection.

Hey, it’s hard to be fabulous, but someone has to do it….
