UsTrendy, the "Indie Fashion Marketplace"is the world's largest independent fashion marketplace with 15,000 designers from over 100 countries. A great place to find unique clothing, jewelry, accessories, and more! Here are some great deals on some fabulous dresses! Be sure to check these and the many more products out at UsTrendy.com!

White Sleeveless Maxi Dress with Crochet Daisy Bodice, for $65. What an absolutely gorgeous maxi for the (hopefully soon) warm weather! The lace detail is stunning, showing just enough skin on on the chest and arms. Plus, a maxi that still shows off your legs? We're all about it. Dress it up with heels as the model has done here; or wear it more casually with flats or a cute pair of sandals.

Black One Shoulder Chiffon Cocktail (also available in white) for $39. This dress is absolutely fabulous. The large chiffon sleeve with an embellished cuff makes this dress chic, while the one shoulder and fitting, yet comfortable, cotton material dress makes it extremely sexy.

Strapless Dress with Sequin Bodice and Tulle Skirt for $68. I absolutely love this dress. The combination of the sequin and tulle makes it elegant yet fun. Great chest cut with an extra small cut out in the middle to give it that extra sexiness, and the soft tulle fabric layered down on the skirt makes this an amazing dress and certainly a must have in our books! And to top it off, the color is fabulous!

Pink Heart Cutout Dress with Fitted Bodice & Pleated Skirt for $58. This dress explains itself. Fabulous and fun color, sexy heart shaped open cut back, and a casual yet complimentary chest line and pleated skirt- it's safe to say we love this dress!

Little Black Dress(es)

Esther Boutique has been a reoccurring feature in the many of the Finigan Fundamental's blog posts, and is without a doubt one of our favorite places to find amazing cocktail dresses, along with many other pieces such as fabulous blazers, shirts, and pants! Whether it's for a wedding, a cocktail party, or a night out with the girls- Esther Boutique has perfect dress after perfect dress..after perfect dress! Check out some of Finigan Fundamental's favorite cocktail dresses for this fall and winter season!

Love, love, love this dress! Esther Boutique's "Walk On By" cocktail dress, is a fabulous wear for a winter wedding or a new years party (it's never too early to start planning that perfect outfit!). For $69 AUD this black and bronze sequin dress is amazing. Great geometric cut neckline, low back-line, and sexy yet appropriate length makes it impossible to "walk on by" this dress. (also available in white)

"Broken Hearted Stud" cocktail dress for $69 AUD is a great dress for a night out. Whether it's out for a cocktail party or for a night out on the town, the plunging sweetheart neckline and studded detail will be sure to turn heads. (Also available in white)

This dress also comes in alternative styles:

"Celebrate Sequin" cocktail for $69 AUD. Absolutely love this dress, every bit of it. Love the high neckline, the sequin and polyester fabrics (with just the perfect amount of sequin detail), and the partially open button down back- This is a fabulous dress for multiple occasions! (Also available in silver and gold)

"Pace Day" dress for $69 AUD. The sheer cut out detail and racer back makes this dress one of my favorites. The mixture of casual and uniqueness will make you stand out wherever you are in this fabulous dress! Perfect with some great pumps and bright clutch. (Also available in white)

"Shelley Cocktail Dress" for $79 AUD. Made with stretch cotton material, this dress is both simple and sexy. We are a huge fan of the low cut neck line- the thin slit makes it very sexy while still maintaining an appropriateness that allows you to wear it for any occasion. (Also available in coral)

"Beautiful Heart Maxi Dress" for $79 AUD. While it may not necessarily fall under "little" black dress- we just couldn't let this one get skipped over. We are huge fans of the maxi look, and we fell in love with this one! The high lace detailed neckline, with the continuation to the back, the sheer bottom, and the loose fall of the dress all the way to the floor, makes this absolutely stunning. While it is sleeveless, a cute jacket would make this dress smoothly transition into the fall season!
