Black Halo: Redefining young elegance


It was love at first sight. Ever since Mariah Carey wore it during her moment on the American Idol stage, it became my mission to find the little black dress with the ever alluring, strategically placed cut outs. I've always loved clean classic pieces with a little twist to them.

My first thoughts went straight to Herve Leger, being that it had the similar silhouette as his bandage dresses. This was not the case. After countless hours of searching every online store, during my procrastinating moments in between essays and study reviews--- I had found the dress. 

It's from the label Black Halo and it's known as the Jackie-O Cut Out Dress.


It has been on my shopping wish list ever since but it turns out I was a little late in jumping the bandwagon. Since I found out about it, the dress seemed to be stocked everywhere, and apparently it was already worn before by Audrina from The Hills in a different color combination. I still prefer the all black version, and am currently on the hunt for it. But with it selling out everywhere in record time, the tediousness of special orders coming out unavailable and the limited stock of sizes, it's very hard to get your hands on these beauties. Especially if the one you're after is the classic black.  Strangely enough, that doesn't leave me disheartened-- I guess if it's meant to be, one day I'll see it in my closet.
