Holiday Party Dresses...and a Giveaway!

The invites are rolling in. Holiday parties, events, the clusterf*ck of this time of year is stressing me out. I'm pretty Grinch like as of late, but it'll improve. As much as I want to stay home and sit on my couch with Baileys, Pumpkin Ice Cream and It's Always Sunny, mama has to hustle and network! The bright side? I've lost a lot of weight the past few months so I'm going to feel more confident than ever...I need a sassy new frock to get me through New Years, so I turned to Asos.
Which one do you like? I need to place my order NOW! Some of you have warned me about Asos but I haven't had any problems...probably just jinxed myself. :)

Speaking of networking and hustling, I'd like to introduce you to Emompreneurs.com, one of my new sponsors. I know...I'm NOT a mom, unless you count Bella, and I totally do. What I am is an entrepreneur and know how hard it can be. Emompreneurs offers support, networking and guidance to those thinking of opening an e-commerce store, monetize your blog, starting your own business. The possibilities are endless! Emompreneurs was started by two fabulous women who have built 5 successful online businesses for themselves and are now sharing their knowledge. No, you don't have to be a Mom to join!!

One of you will win a free One Month Gold Membership to the site...so to all of you who have always supported my venture and thought about your own, I think you should jump on this! Go for it, dolls!! It's what we do over here!

Let me know in the comments if you'd like to be entered...and don't forget to tell me which dress you love!!!!

I'm thinking the pink?! My first strapless in a looong time.
I'll announce the winner next Friday. Good luck!! Happy Weekend!

I have never ordered or heard any bad things about ASOS. I do like the pink and black dress. It is really cute.

Miss Kate said...

The first 2!

L.A. Daze said...

Totally loving the first one and the 5th one!

You're going to have to post a picture of you in whichever dress you picked!

kristin said...

I love the first and second one!

Melissa said...

I like the first one and the seventh one.
You always pick the best things so I'm sure which ever one you pick will be awesome!

=)

wonderfelle said...

I'm goin with 2 for you and 5 for me... because all the dresses i bought before thanksgiving prob don't fit anymore. stupid food babies. i hate them.

mommara said...

#5 the super cute white with the funky studs. HOT!

Ams said...

If I could buy one - my first thought was the pink one. LOVE LOVE LOVE!
Gorgeous, fabulous... LOVE!

And hello I'm a mom so I like EVERYTHING mom! YAY!

:) xo

bananas. said...

you better get the pink one! FO SHO! and for the hell of it...get the first one. i'm sure you'll find some place to go...party, date, wedding, who knows...

eQ said...

ooh ooh! I like #4 or #5 but I am sure you will look fab in any of them!!!

Melanie's Randomness said...

I was totally thinking the pink one even before I read that you liked that one. It's got the most pazazz!! Good luck with that site! It's sounds really cool & helpful!!

Rasha @ and this is what she said... said...

# 1 and #2 have my vote.

Although they are all gorgeous!!!

Love&Marriage said...

Enter me in! Looove the pink one...

Ela said...

My lil party momma!
Loving the pink and the grey - either one would look smashing on you. Yes, smashing.

Happy weekend, love!

FabBlab said...

The grey, no competition. It's so ...beautiful...*sigh*
Too bad I've already bought like, 5.

And oh emme gee, the emeompreneurs thing is totally rad, not to mention, surely very helpful!

Have a fab weekend!

Treacle said...

Yes, please let me enter! I really want to make the transition from blogger to entrepreneur and that would help.


And you should pick the gray dress with pockets. :-)

WendyB said...

I think you need a Francis dress instead! I just sent you an email.

Hilary said...

oh my gosh, Liz. The top grey dress and/or the pink strapless-HOT! I think you should get both. it's settled.
xoxo

Simply Mel said...

The FIRST one! Yes, yes, yes!

"Julie" said...

My fave is the first one! THE STUDS ARE AMAZING, plus you were talking about studs just the other day (and no, I don't mean Taylor Lautner ;)

I think grey is such a pretty color for holiday parties because you can glam it up with hot shoes and makeup without looking too over the top! Plus, the pink stands out so much you have to downplay shoes/jewelry etc! did i just way overanalyze that??? whoops...you'll look fierce no matter what!
xoxo

yours truly dear said...

they are all hot. i love the last one. you would definitely rock it. also, my friend and i are going to be starting an online business soon and i would love to be entered in your giveaway!

xphoebelinax said...

i love the pink and purple one! :D and maybe the last one! :) congrats on the new sponsor dear :)

Nicole Leigh said...

LOVE the pink! I'm a sucker for a sweetheart neckline. My fave is the first one. So hot!

Allison said...

I like the first one best, but I'm so insecure now that I hate even wearing stuff like that anymore. I'd probably end up in the gray one with sleeves. I hate my shoulders!

ema.leigh said...

The white one, fifth one down... I'm DYING over the top portion of it.... and her shoes.... and her badass legs.

Although I love the studs on the first one, I'd stay away from it... as the crisscross on the front looks like it could possibly flaunt any tummy pudge that we'll desperately be trying to hide after eating our little hearts out this season. I mean, really... it looks lke it would even shamelessly tell the world when you had a full bladder. Just sayin.

Thanks for being real. You are MY sunshine.

xoxo

Alix said...

Very Nizzze, said in best Borat voice.

I love the top grey number or the white and silver one (not wild about the booties tho).

You'd be gorgeous in a dishrag!

Leah said...

I love the first dress... go get it.

Manju said...

The FIRST one!!!! Love it! Balmain feeling much hehe

Nahl said...

I love all of them!
Especially the third.

xox D. said...

I like the 1st,2nd,3rd and 5th and think it always depends on the occasion :-) I just tell myself to could order all of them haha

The Haute-Shopper said...

Get the first dress! the pink is not bad either, but all others just look too plain or overly trendy (i.e. no one in Paris is wearing big shoulders anymore... I hope Decarnin gets the hint). I've had no problems with ASOS either, but I do find their own line of clothes to be very cheaply produced. Great prices though!

p.s. love your last post. I feel the same and don't really ever plan on using my blog as a means for other companies to market their products. I prefer to make money during my actual day job.

Meghan said...

I love the pink! I bet you will rock it!

DesBisoux said...

Love the first one!!

*Jac* said...

I am in love with that first gray one. So cute! I wish I could wear that, but it would totally frame my tummy. And unlike your gorgeous self, I haven't lost weight in the past couple of months and a framed tummy is so not what I need.

Chic 'n Cheap Living said...

The first dress is so freaking cool. Or the long sleeved one - love the rocker chick vibe. I'll have Bailey's and Pumpkin ice cream any time! Hmm I really want to find Bailey's ice cream here. Mmm.

Mrs EyeCanSee said...

Me likey the 2nd, 3rd and 4th one. That hot pink and black number....fantastic!

Istvan said...

Elizabeth, you're kinda my hero. P.S. Listen to everything I say about MAC.

Miss Kriss said...

Fabulous selection of dresses, girlie! I'm with you, though...I'm thinking the pink one is HAWT. And that color will look totally awesome with your gorgeous...umm...make that unbeweavable hair! Although I have to admit that the first one would look totally badass with the right pair of shoes!

Like you, I'm in need of a few party dresses! Especially since the hair is brown now. Sadly, I don't have any brunette clothes! Ahhh. Sooo, if you get bored and want to find me a totally rocking New Year Eve dress, I wouldn't mind. ;)

Great giveaway, by the way! You always have the best sponsors! :) Probably because you're just so freaking fabulous!

Cindy said...

Ooo... my favorite is the 5th one. It's all sparkly and delicious.

YES I would love to be entered in the giveaway. Thank you! :)

Laura Trevey said...

I LOVE the pink and black one!!!
All so pretty ~~

xoxo Laura

SG said...

I like the 1st and 2nd but I'm sure you would rock any of them. I had to go to my first holiday/work function last night and I totally didn't want to but it wasn't too bad and I still made it home in time to watch The Office :)

...Seyma... said...

Liz!!

i loved the pink dress that you also like.. but my favorite is the white one having some kind of dots on it (i guess) with those black ankle boots!! it looks a great combination :)

and i don't want to be counted for the giveaway cause i'm not a mom right? :)

love.

xx

learnxtoxfly said...

I personally love the 1st one, but the pink one would be amazing on you!

Kristen said...

Marjorie said...

I have to go with #1 - because I love the studs! And #5 too! You could totally pull off any of them though!

And I'd love to be entered in your giveaway! Thanks doll!

carrie1 said...

Jaime said...

I love the purple and the black and white drapey one.
All fab choices though!

Amber said...

I definitely like the pink... or the first gray one... or the black one with the badass sleeves! Sooo many lovlies to choose from! Of course you'll look amazing in any of them.

Hope you're feeling much better today! XOXO

Alianna said...

Oooh, I like the pink! I also like the first gunmetal gray one and the bright purple. Definitely need to wear the heels from the last post... I nearly died.

I've never had a problem ordering from ASOS. It delivers on time (and I'm in Canada, so that's code for add another WEEK). They have a purse I'm dying for right now...

You MUST post holiday party pictures. As much as I loathe the dressing, seeing other people do it makes me giddy. xoxox

Julie said...

The pink is the OBVIOUS choice! You will rock it! Have a fab weekend, pretty lady! xoxo

Malin said...

Loving the first one... As in... kind of drooling over it. But they are all really cool, and I think the pink would look awesome too..

Can we see some pictures when you get it, pretty pleeeeeease??

xoxox

Erika said...

I like the first dress myself. But, I think that you should make a statement on New Year's, and pink definitely has the power to do that - plus it will look gorgeous with your hair. Pink!

And yes, enter me! I too am a mom to a furrball (kitty cat)! :)

sarah said...

The fiancee is getting knee surgery next week and I have to nurse him back to health and I am so so so sad because I won't even have a reason to wear any party dresses :(

Marian said...

Pumpkin ice cream is the best. I luv luv LUV it!!

And my favorites are the 1st one (gray)...Want it and WANT it bad. I'm also a fan of the purple. The color is hot

Have a fabosh weekend love

Ashley @ KiwisandCocktails said...

Ah, I LOVE the pink one, But I REALLY think the 5th one is a HOLIDAY PARTY DRESS!!

fashion doll said...

and i tried the new ysl.. didn't like it. :( it looked like old dry mascara on me. sad day? yes i know. i'll def be checking out that blog that your friend started. sounds exactly what i want and need out of a blog.

i love you liz lady!

Couture Carrie said...

Fabulous options, darling! Love the pink one!
And congrats on your weight loss!

Keith said...

These are all great. I love them. I hope you're doing well. So how have you been?

Today is my birthday. I'm pretty thrilled. I'm 39 now. Trying not to think about the fact that I'll be 40 next year.

Have a great Friday and weekend. Cheers!

Rose Red said...

The pink or purple dress. I love jewel tones on brunets.

My husband and I are obsessed with it's always sunny! I always sing night man to my dog :)

Have a great weekend.

Mara said...

omg yes I was going to say I looove the pink one! It would look amazing on you! I also like the black/white tulip skirt dress (second from bottom). All of them look great though! Can't wait to see which one you get!

Laura Trevey said...

Happy Friday ~
xoxo Laura

LENORENEVERMORE said...

Fab selections...lurrrve the 3rd from top-grey number! Fab weekend beautiful! xo*

Kristin said...

Why do I never think to look at Asos. That's why I have you lady! And my votie is #2 for you and #5 for me! What? You didn't ask which one I would wear? I told you anyway. ah ha ha. LOVE YOU!

Sarah said...

i've gotten a bunch of stuff from asos and never had any problems. my vote is for the first one or the last one!

drollgirl said...

LOVE #1 AND #5! but strapless never works for me and big tits, but maybe you have better luck than me!

Heather said...

Love dress #7 but I can see how the pink one fits your personality. =)

Kellie said...

Love the pink one and really you would look smashing in any of them but that 1st one has my jaw dropping. LOVE it! I may just need to order it for myself! :)

Also, drunk tweeting tonight could happen. :) Either I tweet like a nut or forget to tweet at all. I'm one extreme or the other for some absurd reason!

Jenny DB said...

The first is my fav ffor sure

LiLu said...

Living and Loving in L.A. said...

Shrimp Salad Circus said...

I'm gonna have to say vestido numero uno - the studs are totally badass!!!

Vanessa said...

You go girl, be confident in yourself! I personally like the pink, gray sweater dress with pockets and the black polka dots with the big shoulders! I'd get all three and find 3 good parties to go to ;)
Have a great day!

I'm sure you'll rock whichever one you choose!

tee said...

Number 1 and number 7 are sick, you can't go wrong with either. ASOS shipping takes forever though so, hurry!

<3 always,
tee.

Annie said...

the white one, fifth down is my favorite!!!!
i LOVE it!!! i think i'd feel most comfortable in it, not having to worry about pulling it up or it being to tight in the tum.
totally wish i was invited to a party to wear a party dress!!
instead i'll be babysitting to make extra dough from now through christmas ;) && because i have no social life....pathetic i know.

have a wonderful weekend purdy girl!!! XOXO!!

Sarah Lynn said...

I LOVE THEM ALL. If I had to narrow them down I would say the last two. I like how they drape. Hope you're having a great weekend! :)

Miss Caitlin S. said...

Holy mother I"m obsessed- that pink dress!!! So hot!!

http://candyflosspersie.blogspot.com/

~KS said...

hmmmm... can you order all of them?? I would... but if you MUST pick just one, I am thinking either the pink one (rarrrr) or the first grey one (smokin'!!). And then again, you are so beautiful you could wear a potato sack and every head in the room would still stop and stare as you stole the show!
Can't wait to hear which one you ordered!!

Gabbi said...

Gorgeous dresses Liz! My very favorite is the silver studded beauty at the top... Also, please do enter me in the giveaway.

Hi!
I've been lurking/stalking your blog for a while now, and since you have said that we have to say hi in some of your old posts, I decided to do just that. Hi! Love, love, love your blog, was so thrilled when I found it!
I don't have a blog, unfortunatly, but I can still comment I guess :)

Elise said...

Oh, and totally forgot to tell you which dress you should order! The first one is gorgeous, the silver one, so if you haven't ordered allready, take that one.

TheBeautyFile said...

The one with the Balmain shoulders is Unbeweavable...minus the Wendy Williams connotation, of course....um, hello bitch, you're famous...in the NY Times and everything!

kathleen said...

Ok, here's the thing. I'm drunk.

I'm kidding. I'm drinking cherry pepsi, ya'll. I LOVE the first dress the most. I also love the second one and the second to the last.

Lovebug out.

Hanako66 said...
