New Years Eve is just around the corner and you need a dress!  Luckily we just got in some fabulous dresses from Postella that are perfect for celebrating.  And we have conveniently placed them in our Holiday Dress Up Guide at Badjoan.com so you can easily sort through them:


We especially love...

The Lima Dress: This dress has wide, loose butterfly sleeves.  Contrasting silk trim around the neck and a contrasting silk sash.  Can be worn loose or tied at the waist.  Available in Black, Green, or Black/White Paisley.

The Nile Dress: This is a sweatshirt dress with a wide sequin trim around the neck; two of the best trends right now rolled into one.  Plus you can also wear this dress with leggings or jeans and create an entirely different look.  Available in Grey.

The Sheryl Dress: This piece is a no brainer.  It's so lady like and flattering and can be worn just about anywhere for any occassion.  Available in Black, Plum and Feather Print.

this just in: POSTELLA

JOAN'S PICK OF THE WEEK: Sheryl Dress
This is a classic silhouette that is so feminine and flattering.  Plus, this dress is so easy to take from day to night; all you need is a change of shoes and jewelry and you're set!  It is available in black, feather print and plum.  The black and feather print come with their own double-decker belt (the belt is detachable so you can also swap it out for your own favorite belt).  Bottom line, this dress is a must have in any woman's wardrobe!

trend watch: DEEP V-NECK TEE

Take the plunge!  A plunging v-neck tee is a must have.  It's simple yet sexy and can be dressed up or down.  But keep in mind that to make this look work you need to make sure the body of the shirt is a little loose. Because the neckline is so low you don't want the shirt to be super fitted otherwise you take this look from sexy to trashy.


Jessica Stroup and Rumer Willis definitely got it right!  Jessica has chosen to dress up her white v-neck tee with a sequin skirt and long blazer while Rumer has kept it casual by pairing her tee with jeans and a short leather jacket.  Both ladies look fabulous and demonstrate the versatility of a simple white v-neck!  Get a similar look with the KJ Clothing True Love Plunging V Neck in White.  This t-shirt has a deep v-neck, loose body and is extra long.  Plus it has the words True Love silk screened on the back; which is exactly what you'll feel when you put this shirt on!  


Do you like the idea of a plunging v-neck but want to add a little color to it?  Try the Plunging V Neck with Print in Grey or the Plunging V Neck with Buttons in Green both by KJ Clothing.

bad joan dreidel: LISA K DOUBLE HEART NECKLACE IN GOLD/BLACK

The Bad Joan Dreidel has landed! For the second night of Hanukkah the dreidel has stopped on:

Lisa K Double Heart Necklace in Gold/Black!  This necklace is definitely a statement piece but at the same time you can wear it in so many ways.  It's great for dressing up; the gold has a deep, rich hue and the black beads have a lot of shine and sparkle as they catch the light.  But this piece is also great with jeans, either over a crew neck or with a v-neck, tube top or other low cut top so the necklace will lay against your chest.  Plus this piece is reversible, one side is hammered and the other side is smooth with etchings so you get two different looks in one! 

AND doubled necklaces are definitely in right now!  (Check out our blog on Doubled Up Necklaces for more info.)  The great part about this piece is that it's already doubled up for you so you don't have to bother picking out two different necklaces to go together.

To redeem the discount simply enter the code HAN10LKDH at checkout and the additional 10% discount will be applied to your total. This code is valid through 12/13/09 at 5:00pm PST.
