Guilty Pleasure

Dawn Ramu Party Dresses

You traded Uggs and sweats on the beach for spectators and Chanel out on the town.

And unless you’re Atlanta designer Dawn Ramu, your Hills obsession has yielded little more than a dent in the couch and a to-the-nines avatar.

So nice then, that Ramu’s fall collection is full of scene-stealing tops and party dresses named for characters on the show.

Slip on the silk racer-back Audrina for an evening at the clubs or on the back of a Harley. Heidi’s modern sweetheart neckline flatters frontal assets (silicone or no), while the tried-and-true Whitney is all business tank dress up front and sassy mini bustle behind.

She hasn’t gone totally Hollywood, though. Audrey Hepburn and other inspirations fuel her three-tiered tops, diamond-back cutouts, and toga-style necklines.

You’ll be head over Hills.

Available at Veruca, 814 Juniper Street, Midtown (404-815-9977 or verucaboutique.com); online at dawnramu.com.
