<div style="text-align: center;">This piece by Parker is everything I've ever wanted in a (leather) skirt. It's a variation on your typical black leather skirt with its uber-pleats, and works with just about anything. I love it thrown on carelessly with this thick sweater and boots or tucked in with a silk blouse and an oversized vest on top. Leather anything is always a good investment, but the skirt especially can be worn from season to season, with knits and tights in the winter, ballet flats and blouses in the spring, sandals and semi-sheer loose tanks in the summer, and blazers in the fall. As you can tell from the previous sentence, the leather skirt can be dressed both up and down, which also makes it the perfect piece for travel. Are you sold?</div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1538823622003503822.post-48575540215227091692011-10-23T17:50:00.001-05:002011-10-23T19:50:21.463-05:00Leather Skirts, Cognac Edition<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-UX-5I0sAJ6s/TqSSYHAOfbI/AAAAAAAACDw/Udcf__kK1N8/s1600/DSC_0062.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-UX-5I0sAJ6s/TqSSYHAOfbI/AAAAAAAACDw/Udcf__kK1N8/s640/DSC_0062.jpg" width="428" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-NjiCOIK6UNc/TqSSYiIQTDI/AAAAAAAACD4/ArONpBP0ghI/s1600/DSC_0065.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-NjiCOIK6UNc/TqSSYiIQTDI/AAAAAAAACD4/ArONpBP0ghI/s640/DSC_0065.jpg" width="428" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Vxehp03KByc/TqSSZE8A5dI/AAAAAAAACEA/60pTV194Bhg/s1600/DSC_0066.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Vxehp03KByc/TqSSZE8A5dI/AAAAAAAACEA/60pTV194Bhg/s640/DSC_0066.jpg" width="428" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ujVzSSjDGO8/TqSSZyPrrAI/AAAAAAAACEI/UE5JJ-EtQYQ/s1600/DSC_0067.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="428" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ujVzSSjDGO8/TqSSZyPrrAI/AAAAAAAACEI/UE5JJ-EtQYQ/s640/DSC_0067.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-uwj_2roNjms/TqSSaZZL8_I/AAAAAAAACEQ/eC5tqBYtjhk/s1600/DSC_0069.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="428" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-uwj_2roNjms/TqSSaZZL8_I/AAAAAAAACEQ/eC5tqBYtjhk/s640/DSC_0069.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-d3eEeQC1CBo/TqSSbLYU_EI/AAAAAAAACEY/7zZl8iloCr8/s1600/DSC_0071.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="428" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-d3eEeQC1CBo/TqSSbLYU_EI/AAAAAAAACEY/7zZl8iloCr8/s640/DSC_0071.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This cognac-hued leather skirt by Vince works perfectly with all shades of grey. Here I have it with a charcoal, loose-fitted, open-knitted (rhymes) sweater (also Vince). Because the skirt is subtly pleated and only slightly A-lined, layering the chunky knit over it looks just right. The skirt would also look wonderful with a form-fitted thin turtleneck knit tucked in with a vest on top and thick tights with boots. Wonderful fall ensembles for your every day life.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">Double points for mixing textures! The cranberry velvet mini skirt (Theory) combined with the 3-D cable-knit sweater (also Theory) and wool hat (Armani) achieves this.

<div style="text-align: center;">Trick title: <b>all</b> equipment is the right equipment. They took an idea so simple as the silk blouse and brought it to another level of menswear-inspired-cool. Each blouse varies, whether its in pattern, color, or fabric, which only makes it harder to not buy every single one of them. I love this striped black and cream sheer one: it's lovely alone all-year-round, dressed up and down, and layered up with a vest (with Jamison shown), leather jacket, or chunky knit. </div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1538823622003503822.post-80277770172772461092011-10-15T13:13:00.000-05:002011-10-15T13:13:46.138-05:00Lace: Day To Night<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Bright shoes, like accessories, are a wonderful way to brighten up a basic cocktail dress as a substitute for black pumps. These babies are just as match-worthy as their standard opponents, but with an eye-catching factor. I wouldn't pair a cherry-red shoe with a cherry-red dress or a purple shoe with an already brightly-patterned ensemble, but as far as brightening up the basics go, there are no comparisons. The possibilities are endless with so many textures (suede, patent, leather) and shades, you can't go wrong! </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

Stray away from pairing the bright-denim with basic white or black, its predictable and putting too much thought into the outfit consequently makes it a uniform, and then you may as well have bought another pair of standard denim. Clothing, like everything in life, is better when you don't overthink it. Take chances and trust your witch-vibes. The best outfits are the ones you stumble upon. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The multi-chain mixed-metal necklace, my go-to for neckwear, brings out the tones in the shirt and ties everything together in the easiest way.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />

Leather all the way! I melt over this leather tee by <a href="http://www.net-a-porter.com/product/161354?cm_mmc=ProductSearch-_-US-_-Tops-_-Pencey">Theory</a>. With two zippers at the neck, its super simple with a twist. It's really the greatest alternative to a basic shirt that I've ever seen. I love the texture against these jeans with oxford wedges to bring it all together. Comfortable and chic, it's such a modern and different alternative to going out in a skirt or dress. </span></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1538823622003503822.post-25492931641848879212011-09-29T10:30:00.000-05:002011-09-29T10:30:47.046-05:00Pops Of Color: Purple Pants, Day To Night<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-xPmCaivVOBQ/ToO64MP4gNI/AAAAAAAAB88/3C6_AejquvQ/s1600/DSC_0132.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="428" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-xPmCaivVOBQ/ToO64MP4gNI/AAAAAAAAB88/3C6_AejquvQ/s640/DSC_0132.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-WFelYQw6UDo/ToO64-GJruI/AAAAAAAAB9A/x6vY44E70m4/s1600/DSC_0137.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-WFelYQw6UDo/ToO64-GJruI/AAAAAAAAB9A/x6vY44E70m4/s640/DSC_0137.jpg" width="428" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-u4h4bM2n3TQ/ToO65kcgofI/AAAAAAAAB9E/fR0Btt6MsDk/s1600/DSC_0139.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="428" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-u4h4bM2n3TQ/ToO65kcgofI/AAAAAAAAB9E/fR0Btt6MsDk/s640/DSC_0139.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Blouse: Equipment, Jeans: J Brand</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Why not have a pair of green pants for the fall? It's fresh and unexpected. I feel like people put too much thought and energy around what to pair with these oddly colored jeans, but the less thought you put around it, the better. They look great in a monochromatic look just as well as a mix and match jacket. For daytime I paired them with a same-colored, body-hugging cutout shirt by <a href="http://www1.bloomingdales.com/catalog/product/index.ognc?ID=558097&PseudoCat=se-xx-xx-xx.esn_results">Bailey 44</a>. The peeps of skin break up the body full of peacock green. It is not, let me repeat: NOT boring to wear color on color. A monochromatic look is timeless, <i>always </i>looks put together, and is universally flattering (unless you match your shoes to the outfit. Please don't do that). </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />

However, I'm loving pops of color with accessories, especially this fall's favorite shade of plum, which somehow goes with everything. Floppy hats are functional in the summer, but equally fantastic during the fall months in wool and an array of colors.

I first ignored its attempts to be purchased, but it wouldn't get out of my head in the days following our initial interaction. It's a spin on a classic silhouette with its grey and white knit, dolman sleeves, and dramatic collar. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Its like absolutely nothing else I own or have seen, which is refreshing when some fall knit collections are causing me to see double (or triple). Because its in between a cardigan and a coat, it can be styled in so many ways: with jeans, leggings, shorts, or a skirt. Here, I have it with my Rag & Bone booties, Pleasure Doing Business body-conscious skirt and a silk button down from Gap underneath. The tight skirt balances out the oversized sweater effortlessly. </span></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1538823622003503822.post-79586594882056203812011-09-23T12:53:00.000-05:002011-09-23T12:53:49.987-05:00Newfound Deal: It Sweatpants<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I melt for anything Alex Wang creates.

It is so comfortable that I want to sleep in it, but I won't because I would probably choke on the hood. "Death by poncho" sure sounds like a chic way to go, though. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It's a great piece because its thin enough to wear from season to season in place of a standard sweatshirt. In the words of Rachel Zoe, you get more mileage out of a piece when its more transitional, and this is always an important factor in wardrobe selections. When the days are cooler, I'll layer underneath it, but on warmer days just a sheer tank will suffice. I can't wait to wear it while traveling, I feel like it would thrive in that environment (yes, I am referring to the poncho as I would a child). Breathable, lightweight, packable, and equipped with a hood to separate yourself from the stranger beside you, or simple to save your head from touching the dreaded airplane headrest, I couldn't think of anything more functional.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Anyway, right now I'm wearing the sweatshirt with my peacock-colored denim for fall. I saw this color originally on a pair of <a href="http://www.intermixonline.com/product/designers/rag+%26+bone-jean/exclusive+midrise+twill+skinny-+peacock.do">Rag & Bone</a> and J Brand jeans. I didn't necessarily want to invest in crayola-colored denim, however, so I sought to find their match for around a 12th of the price. Voila. </span></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1538823622003503822.post-48334566994905395522011-09-21T11:35:00.004-05:002011-09-22T18:35:32.213-05:00Season To Season: Long-Sleeved Dress<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-NqFeo1sBwYs/TnkbTPuqQcI/AAAAAAAAB64/AITPiOS7kXw/s1600/DSC_0038.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="428" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-NqFeo1sBwYs/TnkbTPuqQcI/AAAAAAAAB64/AITPiOS7kXw/s640/DSC_0038.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-VGDzKh-EYsQ/TnkbUXZgtqI/AAAAAAAAB68/17LZGykeqOo/s1600/DSC_0037.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="428" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-VGDzKh-EYsQ/TnkbUXZgtqI/AAAAAAAAB68/17LZGykeqOo/s640/DSC_0037.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Are you ready for thermal season?

</div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">When the weather takes the plunge, which could be tomorrow for all you know, you can keep it on but throw a great leather jacket on top with riding boots and even grey tights for a monochromatic look. I actually had to restrain myself from hugging this jacket when I saw it at AllSaints in <i>just</i> my size. In the softest of black leather with a complimentary shearling collar, it's got more than its fair shade of zippers, which is more than OK with me. The oversized collar even has sippers in the middle to give it a motorcycle jacket shape. No complaints.</span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1538823622003503822.post-50547962633407800622011-09-20T17:57:00.002-05:002011-09-22T18:36:01.920-05:00Day To Night: Somerset Shirt Dress<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-l0L-aEqM-MU/TnkRG4GC2MI/AAAAAAAAB5g/iwI0jSv-Jmg/s1600/DSC_0004.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-l0L-aEqM-MU/TnkRG4GC2MI/AAAAAAAAB5g/iwI0jSv-Jmg/s640/DSC_0004.jpg" width="428" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-V7H5rvPfhfA/TnkRH9325wI/AAAAAAAAB5k/uSSNqXGBPKQ/s1600/DSC_0007.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-V7H5rvPfhfA/TnkRH9325wI/AAAAAAAAB5k/uSSNqXGBPKQ/s640/DSC_0007.jpg" width="428" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-p4qbDTEbqRo/TnkRLOE0K4I/AAAAAAAAB5o/O_0bkNThN9E/s1600/DSC_0008.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-p4qbDTEbqRo/TnkRLOE0K4I/AAAAAAAAB5o/O_0bkNThN9E/s640/DSC_0008.jpg" width="428" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-BS8ZgRYNmK8/TnkRMFiEadI/AAAAAAAAB5s/AyrM3LKeIzI/s1600/DSC_0009.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-BS8ZgRYNmK8/TnkRMFiEadI/AAAAAAAAB5s/AyrM3LKeIzI/s640/DSC_0009.jpg" width="428" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-MF1axwMMUzc/TnkRNMUyGiI/AAAAAAAAB5w/PRzf44IIWyk/s1600/DSC_0010.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-MF1axwMMUzc/TnkRNMUyGiI/AAAAAAAAB5w/PRzf44IIWyk/s640/DSC_0010.jpg" width="428" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">Wedges: Cynthia Vincent</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I purchased this Rag & Bone dress last winter and completely forgot I owned it until now.

Everything Marcus and David concoct is entirely original yet also somehow stays in style for years. Each piece I own from their collection, whether it be from three years ago or three weeks ago, is equally wearable and I thank them for that because there is truly no other way to justify spending $600 on a sweater coat. </span></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1538823622003503822.post-78038342568743362662011-09-18T19:50:00.002-05:002011-09-22T18:36:31.502-05:00Runway: Mulberry SS12<div class="separator" style="clear: both;

</div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Mulberry's S/S 2012 London Fashion Week show was truly breathtaking (this is to be taken literally: each look had me gasping). The show featured an array of palettes, each one blending into the next. It was coordination at its finest, beginning with canary yellow, to the nudest of nudes, sage green, mint green, pastel pink (the seasons biggest hue), and then a maxi featuring each of these colors and topped with the most wearable leather jacket. Ivory made its way into the mix next, first in patterned dresses and then into bold monochromatic but textured looks. Sheer and flowing maxi skirts made more than one appearance, and each look had a corresponding Alexa satchel. From the glowing ivory ensembles came the witchiest of black, again in enticing, sheer fabrics, the highest of wedges, and the biggest of hair (the bleach blonde, tousled runway-version of Snooki's poof). The black transferred to gold and mustard and ended in cream embellished garments. Each look was so beautiful, it was hard enough for me to only show fourteen shots.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Only a collection this exquisitely cool could be held at the Plaza's ballroom. Thakoon Panichgul used the multi-color-splashed-hair to add to the ethnically modern vibe of his collection, which consisted of embroidery, bright intricate paisleys, vibrant fedora-inspired hats, embellished collars, bright blue against a black doily vest, and ample modern simplicity with black, white and camel silhouettes. </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It's impossible for me to go without a piece (or ten) from Rag & Bone in my wardrobe every season, so naturally I never miss <span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; line-height: 16px;">D</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; line-height: 16px;">avid Neville and Marcus Wainwright's show at fashion week (not literally... because I wasn't at the show.... if I was I would surely die of excitement... but figuratively, as in occupying my entire day after the show of sifting through photos and videos).</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; line-height: 16px;">The shows are always fascinating and unbelievably unique, in all sense of the word. The duo's style has evolved so much but still remains true to their original vow of creating clothing that they and their friends would love to wear day in and day out. They are living proof that formal fashion training is not necessary when you have a gift, a vibe, and a realistic sense of style. These are two of my biggest inspirations in the fashion industry in that you can never assume what they'll come up with next, but it is always fantastic. </span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; line-height: 16px;">The S/S 2012 show was, as always, unique but so totally wearable. It left me yearning for Spring when Summer just ended. This show was warm-weather-tastic, with bright techno blues and oranges, army greens, raspberry prints, crisp modern whites, geometric patterns mixed with menswear blazers, sheer fabrics, crocheted knits, 90s-inspired chokers, and goggle-inspired shades, for the chicest of swimmers. </span></span><br />

When I had a chance to sit down and watch it in its entirety, I was blown away. Complete with just-showered hair, minimal makeup, and Wang's traditional effortless sporty vibe and ample zippers, nothing could possibly distract me from this show. I was swooning over the black and white laser-cut floral and phenomenal mirrored display. From grommet-ed jackets, cutout skirts, knee-length leather shorts, sheer surfer-inspired tunics, mesh ensembles, and an enthusiastic Alex running out in his all black sneakered uniform, the show was incomparable. I loved that he took a simple, sleek burgundy leather minidress and personalized it with the intricate tribal cutout detail that was only obvious after viewing a close-up photo. The cherry on top is Alex's niece, who couldn't be more obviously related to a fashion guru:</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-FFpTJcRB-pk/TnKOVwa6gTI/AAAAAAAAB20/UfyJx1IOhLI/s1600/IMG_0695_1280W.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-FFpTJcRB-pk/TnKOVwa6gTI/AAAAAAAAB20/UfyJx1IOhLI/s640/IMG_0695_1280W.jpeg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: xx-small;">photos: models.com</span> </span></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0
