Hi, friends! I’m thrilled to share a comprehensive preview of the Venita Aspen Dillards collection with Gianni Bini. For those who aren’t familiar with Venita, I highly recommend checking out her Instagram page. She’s truly a sweetheart, and it’s been wonderful getting to know her over the years via DM chats and more. Moreover, we’re heading to Charleston this spring, and I’m looking forward to spending time with her over dinner.
Mark your calendars for Monday, March 13th on Dillard’s website for when the collection goes live. Today, I wanted to share a preview of the entire collection, including prices, styles, fabrics, and beyond. I’ll also be doing a ton of exclusive preview content over my LTK shopping channel, so be sure to follow along.
Moreover, I include all of the direct product links. That way, for Monday’s launch, you simply need to open the link, refresh your browser, and you’ll be the first to shop! Super easy. 🙂

Venita Aspen Dillards Shoes
First up – let’s talk shoes. From slingback pumps to dress sandals, platform heels to flat sandals, Venita definitely brought the heat with the footwear items. Below, I’m sharing all of the styles, including prices and beyond.
Sullivan Mismatched Slingback Pumps
Friends, trust me. This pair of slingback pumps are going to sell FAST. In fact, I’d bet besides the Sienna Suede Platform Heels in Azelea (below), this style will be the next biggest hit. Do not sleep on these! The Sullivan Mismatched Slingback Heels ($118) have one shoe that come in Sorbet and the other in Azelea. So cool!
Sienna Suede Platform Dress Sandals
First up are the Sienna Suede Platform Dress Sandals, available in multiple colors including Peony Navy, and beyond. At only $118 each, I fully anticipate these shoes are going to FLY (especially the Azelea color, which I’m planning to add to cart).

Esme Linen Pearl Dress Sandals
If you’re seeking shoes that are a bit more netural, the Esme Linen Pearl Dress Sandals ($118) are for you. Check out the pearl heel – so good! It gives me a bit of Cult Gaia vibes in the best possible way. They will be sold in both Ivory and Spanish Sand (tan).
Gianni Bini x Venita Aspen Harlow Pearl Bow Dress Sandals
How darling are these Harlow Printed Pleated Pearl Bow Dress Sandals? They retail for $118 and have the most lovely pearl accents and signature print from the collection. The Harlow Pearl Bow Dress Sandals also come in a denim version, Azelea Pink, and white version. So chic! I truly love both of these, and they also match my dress.

Juniper Pearl Beaded Raffia Flat Sandals
Chic summer sandal alert! These textured raffia flat sandals are a great price ($89.99), and can be paired and styled with countless looks. The pearl accent details elevate the overall look.
Collection Apparel, Dresses and Clothing
Now that you have a healthy dose of stylish shoes, why not showcase all of the apparel in her collection? From crop tops to midi dresses, beautiful blouses to plisse skirts, there is truly something for everyone!
Cleo Plisse Pearl Trim Sleeveless Midi Sheath Dress
This is the gorgeous Odette Plisse Dress style that I’m wearing in today’s blog post. The dress fits true to size, and the pearl accent details are just too good! It’s available in navy, and I can’t say enough great things about it. Super luxe!
Odette Plisse Pearl Trim Strapless Sheath Midi Dress
If you love the sleeveless midi, you also might like the Odette Plisse Dress style in ivory ($299). This version is strapless, and a great whit dress for summer. I can even see brides wearing this at bridal showers and/or the rehearsal dinner.
Tinsley Plaid Chiffon Jacquard Sleeveless Halter Maxi Dress
Wow, wow, wow. I’m obsessed with this halter maxi dress! From the plaid print to the ethereal chiffon fabric, the Tinsley Dress ($269) is certainly a smash hit. Plus, check out the gorgeous bow in back. SO good!
Aria Geometric Print Crepe Tie Strap Sleeveless Mini Dress
Color lovers, this dress is for you! Sweet and bold, this mini dress is memorable and truly adorable. Layer a cardigan or blazer over it for cold nights. It retails for $209.
Willow Novelty Stripe V-Neck Long Volume Sleeve Blouse
Another nautical-feeling style is the Willow Blouse ($109). Perfect to style with ivory pants or white jeans.
Jessamine Linen Button Front Point Collar Blouse
Speaking of blouses, I also love this crisp and chic Jessamine Linen Button Front Point Collar Blouse ($109). It looks gorgeous with the Jessamine Linen Skirt ($129). The lightweight linen fabric is ideal for spring break vacations and warm destinations.
Plisse Pearl Trim Straight Neck Tie Straps Blouse and Plisse Pearl Trim Mini Skirt
Pearl trim is an omnipresent element of Venita’s collection. This Plisse Pearl Trim Blouse ($139) and Plisse Pearl Trim Skirt ($149) are so fun for spring and summer. Additionally, the pieces are very versatile and can be worn together or alone.
Genevieve Novelty Stripe V-Neck Long Sleeve A-Line Dress
Looking for a marvelous maxi dress moment with a hint of nautical vibes? The Genevieve Dress is perfect for you. It’s $298, and a fabulous flared bottom with ruffle details.
Andrea Abstract Print Sateen Halter Neck A-Line Maxi Dress
Another fabulous maxi dress to consider? The Andrea Abstract Print Sateen Halter Neck A-Line Maxi Dress ($259). In addition to bold pink, blue, and orange abstract print, the fabric is super soft (sateen). It’s a breezy dress that’s perfect for vacation or special occasions.
Colette Linen Mini Skirt and Top
As you can see, the Azelea pink color is a prominent hue throughout Venita’s collection. The Colette Linen Mini Skirt ($79) and Crop Top are a fabulous way to wear the beautiful color. The pieces can be worn together or separate. Based on previews, the set looks to be available just the Azelea color.
Aria Dress
Leave it to Venita to bring a colorful and fun mini dress into the mix. The Aria Dress retails for $209, and will be available in sizes 0-12.
Eden Plisse Midi Crinkle Skirt and Eden Plisse Boatneck Long Sleeve Crinkle Blouse
Another great skirt? Venita’s Eden Plisse Skirt ($109) and Eden Plisse Boatneck Long Sleeve Top ($99). I’m personally a big fan of plisse fabric, and the skirt with the matching top is too fun.
Poppy Dress
I’ve been seeing orange and yellow dresses everywhere these days. Dopamine dressing is still alive and well! The Poppy Dress retails $159 and features an off-the-shoulder silhouette and mini length.
Venita Aspen Dillards Swimwear
Last but certainly not least, swimwear. Venita designed three swimwear pieces that are perfect to pack for upcoming vacations. Furthermore, there’s a one-piece and bikini option depending on your preference.
Asymmetrical Bow Shoulder One Piece Swimsuit
How darling is this swimsuit? The baby blue color is stunning, and it’s such a fabulous feminine piece. The Asymmetrical Bow One Shoulder One Piece Swimsuit retails for $128.
Sol Maxi Dress
In addition to the two swimsuits, Venita designed a beautiful cover-up. The white Sol Maxi Dress retails for $116, and an easy item to wear to the beach and pool.
Beaded Pearl Underwire Bralette Swim Top and Beaded Pearl Strappy Swim Bottom
In addition to the one-piece option, Venita designed a Pearl Underwire Bralette Swim Top ($72) and matching Pearl Strappy Bottoms ($60).
What Am I Planning to Buy?
So what will I be buying? Wow, it’s going to be tough! The Sienna Heel in Azelea ($118) is a great deal, and reminds me of the more expensive version of the Prada heel. Additionally, I really love the Bow Shoulder swimsuit (reminds me of this one I wore last summer on Nantucket), and Genevieve Maxi Dress. The Tinsley Dress is also tempting me big time.
