The daily steal: Python-print dress, $119

The American designer Rachel Roy is a hero of mine.  She is beautiful, dark-skinned, curvy, and elegant, and her diffusion line Rachel Rachel Roy is both on-trend and flattering.  Note that the collarbone cut-out on this neon python print dress ($119, at select Bay stores) still allows for a bra and that the gentle gathers at the hips do wonders for le derrière. Best of all, the 100 per cent modal fabric refuses to wrinkle.
