Today is Saturday, November 28, 2009
Today has been a hectic day but in the evenings I'm starting to go to dinners, birthday parties, holiday events and more. So even though the day is spent with me just keeping up with everything, I like the ability to go out to look like a million bucks. My outfits are always simple and of course, I love to pile on the accessories! Today, we're focuing on Free People's one shoulder dress which you can wear as a dress or with leggings if you're so inclined. Nothing is better (at least for me) than to have a solid color and then to pop in one of my favorite skins - python to add a little texture and to make the whole look pop! Whether you have a pair of python slingbacks or this super cute clutch that also serves as a bracelet, you're all set. To add a little more glam, Hello Kitty is not only adorable but decadent in Citrine and a Cameo - you can't get any classier than this is the perfect ring! You'll shine for all of your events while being completely comfortable!
I love when I present segments of items that can be worn during the day and then work straight into the night. When it comes to cute dresses that are femme and waiting to get dressed up, Anthropologie is a great go to store! Not only is it fun to shop in the store or online, but they have a lot of to choose from. I love this Abydos dress which reminds me of something that has a bit of an Egyptian look. I love the sash and that it seems like such an easy dress. When paired with this gorgeous bronze cuff you're half way to being completely accessorized! Of course you can always add a little more. The Swarovski Crystals have an elegant style that creates a great silhouette against your neck and the heels - this pair from DSquared2 is absolutely stunning. I love the pops of gold and the natural element to this shoe as well. You can go from day to night whether you're heading off to a cocktail party or simply going out with your significant other!
When I'm checking out artists launching an album and I'm going to Crash Mansion or an art show that has a funky vibe, I like to embrace a bit of rocker edge with pops of sassy femme!
I love thematic spreads! This one is definitely one of my favorites. I have a very laid back sense of style - I have yet to find the definition but it defintiely embraces my love for classic, casual items that can be worn virtually anywhere. I find that even when I'm not wearing something that is the trend of the moment, people still love what I'm wearing. When I attend certain events, I get a little inspired and love incorporating something new! Over the next few days, I will be attending a lot of album release parties and as many of them are either within rock or house, I definitely want to step into the part! I am a huge fane of Henrietta Duffner who has a gorgeous line that I have previously talked about; however, she has recently launched Swiss Affaire! This t-shirt line combines ideal comfort with a lot of sass and a night out at the clubs is the perfect destination. Now I kept it simple as the shirt is QUITE a statement (simple tee with cutouts). I would pair it with skinny jeans and heels but I would definitely look to my accessories (bigger is bolder) to bring out a bit more of the rock look while also bringing in a femmey quality. I have been a huge fan of Stephen Dweck and his smokey quartz ring has a bit of vintage which works well with Lois Hill's cuff! A touch of sweet femme comes with Kendra Scott's piece. This look is hot without going over the top. It combines sterling silver with natural stones which is the essence of what I wear in accessories and if you have to run in and out somewhere you can always grab a pashmina or motorcycle jacket to complete this look! I love this super chic look!
Diane Von Furstenberg Look Fashion Week Spring 2010
Usually I like for my accessories to jump out from my "primary" color; however, there are times when I love to have an impactful look. This gorgeous golden Diane Von Furstenberg dress hit the runways yesterday and all I could think of was an extension of golden luxe! To this end, I think minimal accessories are ok and that the gorgeous gold heels which have cute detailing on the back are perfect as a secondary focus. The necklace with its multi media adds various elements of depth (not only is this perfect for a night out but can also kick your jeans and tee look up a few notches) and of course the Swarovski bag is an obvious match to the overall look. If anything, one of the things that DVF knows how to do is to take a great style that works with various body types. The selling points of this dress is the length, the gathering and the asymmetrical qualities that allow the eye to follow the lines of your body. Take some time to check out more pieces from her look.
So today, I'm out and about taping my reality show which you will know more about as we get closer to the air date! I'm super excited to be out but it also makes me think about the fact that the more errands you have, the more you have to have comfort! So on days where it's super hot go easy! Less can be a lot more in many cases. This dress is super easy and is one that you'll notice with a great shape and a fab hue. Pair this with one of my favorite shoes (when I'm not wearing heels) these chandelier shoes are a staple at Victoria's Secret and yes they have a version of it in heels - yes I own a pair in that style too! As a side note, they look great with leggings, dresses and yes - jeans. To wrap it up, sometimes it's so hot that you want to pair the accessories down and in this instance, how about a nice ring like this one by Max & Chloe? I love that it's not super matchy matchy since there are various tones of Carnelian! What a great way to look pulled together and ready for whatever the day will bring! Take some time to check out these great pieces and of course snag a little something for yourself!
A few weeks ago, I had the pleasure of introducing Aiisha Couture to you! I love that she is out in Dubai and brings her love of the resort style to her line! We all have at least one time of year that we need to dress up whether it's a benefit and event that you created or more! In times like this you want the dress that will provide the most jaws to drop while as you make your entrance and exits. I love clothing that is weightless so this Yellow Kaftan is perfect for flow and with these textured accessories, you can add a skin and pop of color to show that although you're subtle in your tones, you don't tend to be looked over! As always click the link in the spreads to find out more about this phenomenal designer!
When it comes to making your outfit truly standout, the only way that this can be done (in my opinion of course), is via accessories! I love that someone could wear a cute black tank and black leggings with flip flops and they look comfortable. But then as it goes from day to night, including a studded cuff, a pair of heels and sunglasses (the days are longer so I think about my sunglasses) - now you're look simply fab heading out t wherver you've been invited. Above are two series of tones that you should think of including within your look. I love red as a great element of color. I used to never wear red as I felt a little uncomfortable; however, using it as an accessories, I like the idea of wearing red heels as in this gorgeous pair from SOS Mark. I love the black braiding! These Chanel sunglasses are a great mod look that add a bit of that color. For my Ladies of Pop, this is perfect! For those who want a neutral color but want a shoe that speaks for them, then I suggest this pair of shoes from the Tribal Collection of Casadei! I love the heel and that this is not only a peep toe shoe but has great cutouts that follow the angle of your foot. To top it off, the sunglasses by Carmen Marc Valvo (love his outfits and have been proud to attend one of his Fashion Week Shows last Sept) which has a bit of that innovative look while also being supremely casual! Take some time to think about what pops of color must be infused within your wardrobe to take your outfit from a look to one that realy shows who you are! As always, the links above can be clicked on!
I have been living in leggings all this week! I love how it makes every outfit have a bit of sass whether you're at work, running errands or just hanging out. Since it has been chilly here, I have been wearing boots but I love wearing them with heels! Check out some of the ones that I have had my eye on!
I love this season now that the election is over and we have solidified our leadership, we can now think about our attire for the next few weeks and beyond. Yesterday as I was working on the holiday guide, I was told about a site that looks to bring fashion forward looks to you! Now we all know that there will be many outfits that we will need to buy to get ready for after work parties, gifting affairs and so much more. So we will want more than one site and/or store to get us ready for the next season. eCarg has super cute tops that will be cute with a pair of leggings, a cute clutch and of course your perfect heels as well. Show some love to this site whose owner, Grace (she handpicks each item that is on this site and in case you didn't notice, Grace spelled backwards is eCarg), reached out to me and who I felt was a necessity for you guys to know about! I love these two tops and think that they will look great during various occassions.
I love the idea of presenting so many "citrus" oriented items to all of you. This citrus is more of an ode to grapefruit but is definitely something that I think is super cute with many of the flirty tops and dresses that we will be wearing as we head towards summer. These little leather clutches by Rebecca Norman are hand sewn and have this beautiful agate embellishment on each piece. If this pinkish/brown agate is not you, there are other embellishments that you will enjoy. I love this sense of natural bling and feel that this will look amazing with many of your denim looks and super cute heels. Check out more pieces from this designer to see what else you can expand within your closet!
We love hearing from you! Suggestions, ideas and thoughts are always welcome.
