Joy Han + Celebrities = Yummy

With the new arrivals of Joy Han’s winter and spring collection, it was hard not to give this post an extremely cheesy title. Some runners up: “Han-lelujah!” ”Jump for Joy!” and ”Holy Han!”

For the sake of our readership’s sanity, we chose to stick with a logical formula. What do you get when you cross one of LA’s favorite new designers with Hollywood’s best and brightest (and Paris Hilton)? That’s right: delicious ready-to-wear cocktail dresses in all colors of the rainbow.

There are a ton of options available at bevello (and even more from the Han herself), but here are some of the most popular choices among celebrities. Anyone want to play the “Who Wore It Best?” game?

Item A: The Chic Dress by Voom

Who wore it best? Well, she’s the only one we can find in it, other than our gorgeous customers.

Honestly? Kim Kardashian looks good in everything, so I wasn’t surprised she rocked it. What did throw me for a loop was that this dress is just like the jeans in SOTTP, it fits everyone and genuinely looks good on every size. It also pairs well with any color heels (some fun purple ones would be a cool look) and is comfortable enough to dance in.

Worth the $245 bevello price tag? I believe so, madame.

Item B: The Sandra Bubble Dress by Voom

Who wore it best? Ugh. I hate to say it, but Paris was looking tres chic and about 40 feet tall in this number, affectionately dubbed “The Sprite Can Dress” by one observant boyfriend at bevello. Love the tights, P. In case you were curious, Deja Kreutzberg is the other person wearing the dress. In case you have no idea who Deja Kreutzberg is (we didn’t either), she was in Sorority Row… which may be why you have no idea who she is.

My only issue with both of these ladies is that they wore their hair down. With a dress like that (the back laces up like a corset and there’s a killer silver sash), I’d like to see a slick ponytail or a simple updo.

P.S. This dress has pockets. OMG.

Item C: The Most Popular Dress in Hollywood…The Gwen Babydoll Dress

Who wore it best?

This is a tough one. Kay Panabaker is eliminated for poor posture in this picture (for shame!) and Jennifer Stone is eliminated for the shoes (too many stripes). Stephanie and Lea are both doing two things right. First, they both have killer, sculpted Michelle Obama arms that are highlighted by the woven rope straps. Second, they both have simple, tall heels. I like Panabaker’s idea of flats with this dress (it feels casual enough), but a babydoll style like this does wonders for lengthening one’s legs when paired with a good heel.

N.B. This dress also comes with bright purple, Cheshire cat-esque stripes which give the dress a whole new, flirtier look. Valentine’s Day, anyone?

frizz-free!

Winter hair.

I know you know what it is. And good luck avoiding it. You can spend an hour styling your most sculpted coif and after one step outside into the arctic tundra — BOOM, you’ve got frizz, static and tangles.

BUT…after a 30-minute soul-search on the Sephora hair aisle, is it possible that I have found the cure? A holy elixir that can keep your locks semi-normal looking in the cold months?

Perhaps.

The brand is Living Proof, and they specialize in frizz-resistant styling products.

I tried the straight-making styling cream. My fly-aways disappeared AND it made my hair feel smoother and look shinier. But it doesn’t come cheap — one 4 ounce bottle will run you more than $20.

But hey, you’re worth it. Right, L’Oreal?

trail blazin

Oh, awkward transitional weather — how can we dress for you? One day you bring us beaming hot sun and the next it feels like an arctic tundra at our doorsteps. Do we wear tanks and tees or shall we pile on the layers? Really, it’s getting very hard to predict (and adequately prepare for) your mood swings.

There’s good news here, though: one of the fall’s biggest fashion staples is the blazer. And why not? Chic, classy, sophisticated — yet practical for the in-between season changes.

This midnight black blazer is from the collection of one of bevello’s newest up-and-coming designers — Nick & Mo.

The jacket is wool and fully-lined, so it’s sure to keep you cozy during those cold days. But don’t worry about getting too hot — the 3/4 length sleeves will keep things light. The copper buttons set off the black, and the bright white trim is so mod.


You’ll have four front pockets and a bronze knob securing each sleeve, as well. This blazer is SO Jackie Kennedy, am I right?

And if you’re looking for something brown, check out its twin, also designed by Nick & Mo.

This russet would be gorgeous with any hair color. The edges on this blazer are trimmed with black lace.

Victims of the weather? No longer!

mixed media = so in

You’d have to be living under a rock to not know how absolutely huge mixed-media dresses are these days. And why not?

From oh-so-flattering elastic waistbands to the endless opportunities for mixing and matching your favorite accessories to these versatile duds, the mixed-media banded dress seems like an obvious choice. And this bevello beaut is no different:

Meet this russet brown, long-sleeved creation by GLAM. What?! A long-sleeved dress? Yes, my friends. Just because it’s getting colder does NOT mean we have to throw dresses to the wayside.

The front and back necklines have a subtle-yet-sexy scoop, and the band ties in a bow around the back. The top is a soft cotton, and the bottom a smooth silk. A perfect combination of comfort and style.

If you want to kick the fierce up a notch, pair it with your favorite tights or a funky cardigan. Who says you can’t mix patterns?

tis the season for cardigans

This is it. The time of year I wait patiently for EVERY YEAR — the autumnal equinox. Why, you ask? Because this time of year, it’s chilly but not overly so. You see, now is the perfect time to don your most favorite of cardigans — and you won’t have to hide it under a heavy winter coat.

And the bevello fall collection has you covered.

This season, I NEED to own this:
And the bevello fall collection
This gorgeous cardigan vest, made by up-and-coming designer C. Luce, is truly a one-of-a-kind design. I love the ruffles, and the fringe trim gives the illusion of pearls — complete elegance. The rosette on the left side is the perfect cherry to this truly unique piece.

Or try this longer look:

This asymmetrical cardigan, designed by Trinity, can be layered with any bottom and still look fierce. Buttons run diagonally down the right side. Pair it with a cowl neck (like our directors have done!) and you will be, as Rachel Zoe says, OOC (Out of CONTROL).

And, uno mas from Trinity:

The cardigan is rouched in the back to give a nice bohemian vibe, and the beautiful emerald green color just sets the piece on fire. FIRE! The front flows freely at your sides. So chic.

Ah, clothes like these almost make Mondays bearable. Almost?

ruffled? we are.

Looking for a dress that’ll ruffle your feathers?

Search no more! Channel your inner-princess in this ivory cream ruffle piece, straight from bevello’s closet:

This fall season is brimming with over-the-top glam, so why not kick it off the right way with a dress with ultra-fem chiffon ruffles? Frills adorn the collar and sleeves, complemented by a thick belted sash. I love the vertical drop-ruffles in combination with the horizontal sash. Tres chic!


The base is flowy and allows for ample movement — which also adds a layer of femininity. Spin, swirl, tap-dance — the works. The black tipping accentuates the body, adding a layer of intricacy to a classic pattern.

Add a killer accessory, and the night is yours! Ooh la la!

skirt loveeeeee

A good denim skirt is hard to come by.

That’s why this mini, designed by Velvet Heart, is one of our bevello faves:

Most you find now have enough material to pass as a really big belt — but not this skirt. Yes, ladies, you can actually wear it without worrying that you’ll to show London, France and who knows what else to the world.

The button-flap pockets are oh-so-in. And you can’t make a good denim mini without the quintessential abercrombie destruction. Plus, the light/medium wash will match virtually any color in your closet. LOVEEEEE.

Am I right or am I right?

a dress to die for

Some days I want to pitch my entire wardrobe and restock my closet entirely with cute dresses. Too bad my last name isn’t Gates, and I’m far too cheap to throw away anything I’ve spent my own money on.

But THIS dress is at the top of my current MUST-HAVE-RIGHT-NOW list:

Oh, how I pine to rock this adoooooorableeeeee look! The deep V neck is sexy, and the empire waist and loose body will flatter any shape. And the pattern — an adorable peaches-and-cream look with orange and brown leaves.

The sleeves are dolman style. Presh!
