So what do you wear when you want to feel flirty and feminine, but are not in the mood for a snug fitting, curve hugging dress? A maxi dress, of course. Still on the forefront of fashion after several seasons, the maxi dressremains a favorite item for its limitless variations in style, fabric and silhouettes.

Maxi dresses can be extremely versatile, taking your look straight from day to night. For a daytime look, choose a fun print, whether it be paisley or polka dot. In the Resort 2009 fashion show, floral maxi dresses were spotted all throughout the runways. Gabriella Rocha's Norah Maxi Dress is a great printed blend of tie-dye and paisley offering you an eclectic combination of highly popular prints. A jersey or cotton style maxi dress can give you the comfort you need for all your daytime duties. Great accessories can give your maxi dress a signature look. For example, a big floppy hat can give you a sweet summer look, while a low hung leather belt can give you a cool bohemian inspired style.

For a glamorous night time look, choose a solid color maxi. The color choices are endless. Sophisticated fabrics, like silk or chiffon, will give your look that perfect elegant touch suitable for a night out. A solid maxi dress, serves as a great blank canvas for all the perfect accessories. Pair your maxi with a long necklace with an eye-catching pendant or grab a fist full of colorful bangles to complete a chic pulled together look. Gabriella Rocha also offers solid color maxi dresses like the Emilia Maxi Dress. It may be black, but it's elegant details, like twisted straps and a deep v-neck cut is the perfect outfit for a sexy date.

Maxi dresses are flattering for girls of all sizes. Petite girls can add extra inches in sky high heels that hide behind a curtain of fabric. Larger ladies can also camouflage thick thighs or wide hips.

Who said clothing couldn't perform miracles?

A big trend among celebrities right now is wearing a another person's face on their t-shirt. The person on the t-shirt is usually a well-known pop idol or famous celebrity from the past.

High School Musical's Ashley Tisdale was seen sporting a yellow t-shirt with a picture of Kate Moss on it. Rachel Bilson choose to keep it old Hollywood and wore a t-shirt of Marilyn Monroe. Naomi Campbell wore a t-shirt that had Prince on the front of it.

Now here's the ultimate in narcissism, Paris Hilton has been seen wearing a shirt that has her picture on the front. Give me a break. Did you forget what you looked like, that you had to wear a shirt with your own picture on it? These shirts are not cheap at all. A Steve McQueen picture shirt from Dolce and Gabbana retails for $245.

Another trend that is staying strong with celebrities is the wearing of vests by women.

Kim Kardashian was seen wearing a fitted black vest with a white tank underneath. She kept it casual with a pair of nice jeans. If you want to wear this trend, keep the vest fitted and wear it with a longer shirt underneath. There is no need to expose your stomach with this trend. Mischa Barton has been seen wearing vest quite a few times also. Vest can be seen all over the runway, worn several different ways. It can be seen paired with a dress or pants. You can even get away with wearing a vest to the office. Pair it with a cute pair of trousers or a pencil skirt and you have a perfect office appropriate outfit that looks super trendy and cute.

You can easily find cheaper vests at the mall at your favorite store and do not have to splurge on a designer one. Make sure that it fits well and you are good to go.

The last celebrity trend that we will discuss today is the maxi dress. A maxi dress is a long dress that hits the ankle or the floor. Tons of celebrities are sporting these dresses. The most popular celebrity that can be seen in maxi dresses is Angelina Jolie.

While she is pregnant with her twins, it seems like almost every picture you see of her, she is in a maxi dress. The maxi dress is her staple fashion piece. Another pregnant celebrity, Gwen Stefani, has also been seen wearing quite a few maxi dresses around.

The maxi dress is not just for pregnant celebrities though. Kristen Bell wore a blue and white maxi dress to her movie premier. Nicole Richie and Jennifer Love Hewitt also have been seen wearing maxi dresses, as well as Lauren Conrad for the Hills. The maxi dress can be strapless, a halter top, or spaghetti straps. Most are patterned with bright colors or floral. Although, this trend is not for everybody, it can be worn both casual or dressy. If you want to wear a maxi dress, you may have to try on a couple different styles and make sure that the dress is not too long on you. Also, you do not want a completely shapeless dress, as you may look like you are wearing a muumuu and not the latest fashion trend.
