It was a big deal in the '90s, but it has never gone out of style. What are we talking about? The little black dress, of course, or LBD, as it is known. It is the one piece of clothing that you can dress up or tone down for any occasion desired - a big work meeting? Throw a smart jacket over it and add some boots or court shoes. A wedding? Add some bling and maybe a faux fur cape, along with some sparkly pumps. Girl’s night out? Your leather jacket will look great with it. It is versatile, smart casual, and more dependable than any partner you’ve had.
The right LBD will make you feel amazing. The fit should always show off your best assets, and then it will adapt to any of the occasions you need it to.
Check out any big star and you’ll have seen them rock an LBD - Swifty? Check. Britney Spears? Check. Dua Lipa - yes. These ladies ooze confidence when they are wearing their LBD. In fact, they probably have a few to pull out of their closet when required.
You can too. Look through thrift and vintage stores and you’re bound to find an LBD that you know you can pull out of the closet any time you need it. Nicole Kidman recently sang that “Diamonds are a Girl’s Best Friend,” but actually it’s the LBD.
While the LBD is versatile and made for any occasion (yes, even funerals - don oversized sunglasses to hide your tears, and a trench coat to honor the moment) don’t overdo it. Perhaps just wear it once a week, and don’t wear it with the same group of people twice in a row, just so you can extend its effect.

What are Taylor Swift’s Favorite Dishes?
Taylor Swift easily ranks among the most iconic artists around now. That said, she constantly reminds us how normal she is through her Instagram profile. Whether it is pictures of her renowned girl squad, her adorable cats or snaps of her day-to-day life, she doesn't waste an opportunity to show that she is just another normal person in day-to-day life.
We have also learned that Taylor Swift likes to stay healthy. So naturally, she opts for a diet that better suits her lifestyle and gives her the energy she needs for recording and live performances. Nonetheless, she loves to sneak in a treat or two into her diet when the opportunity arises. So what does Swifty like to eat? Starting off with a fan favorite, Taylor loves hummus, so much so that she has a fresh pot of hummus in her fridge at any given time, waiting to be paired with cucumbers and carrot sticks.
Orange juice and coffee are two of her go-to drinks. Just like everyone else, a glass of orange juice keeps her going for the rest of the day and the citrusy flavor gives that extra punch. As for the latter, oddly enough, she enjoys hot coffee with …cookies, but hey we are not judging!
More importantly, the extra caffeine in coffee is an ideal boost for late-night songwriting. Taylor is often spotted picking up fried chicken while on tours and it is easy to understand why. After all, who doesn't like a bit of fried chicken now and then? Adding to her love for chicken, chicken and dumplings are another favorite combo she loves. Every time she’s in Nashville, she makes it a point to have them. Last but not least, homemade baked goods – especially cookies and cookie dough – are among her best-loved foods. She likes baking as a hobby, because she finds it soothing, and someone has to eat those treats!
