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?

A:  I’ve recently fallen in love with Esley.  The fabrics are all lightweight silks, chiffons, and cotton and the fit is relaxed and the look is very bohemian.

 Q: What do you think the worst fashion mistake a girl could make is?

  A:    Buying something only because the fashion mags say its the “next big thing”  Timelessness should be key with fun and interesting new spins.  No one likes to look back a year from now and say…what was I thinking?

       Little Black Dress :)

   A:  Grow up!? Honestly, I don’t know, but my hope is to be surrounded by beautiful things and working with people I love and who support me….boutique owner, buyer, fashion merchandiser, interior decorator,….I’d be happy with any of these :)

Q: Who is your celebrity fashion icon? Why?

 A:   I have a few…Jennifer Aniston, Reese Witherspoon and Nicole Richie (post rehab).  Done up or down these women have effortless style.

Ladies of Cameron Village: Meet Carlee!

     I wanted to take a moment to share an inside view of the quality staff at bevello in Cameron Village ! This week’s interview is with Carlee.  Let’s get to know this blonde beauty!

carly

1)    What drew you to bevello?  

I was drawn to bevello for the opportunity to get retail experience before I graduate from NCSU.  Also, Chan really seemed to know what he was doing, and I wanted to see how to open and run a successful boutique since it’s something I eventually want to do myself!

 2)    Other than bevello what else do you do?

 I am currently a junior in Fashion and Apparel Development at North Carolina State University!  I also recently was initiated into the Zeta Tau Alpha Sorority! I model for my friends in fashion shows around Raleigh, also make and design dresses in my free time

 3) Describe your personal style?  

I really don’t have one specific style.  I have some “punk outfits”, preppy, basics, and a lot of other styles; I dress depending on how I feel that day! I think this way I’m less predictable.

 4)       Who is your favorite ( non-bevello) designer?

 My favorite designer that bevello doesn’t carry is Christian Dior (although I don’t own anything).
