Birds of a Feather Flock Together

I'm hardly ever a fan of brand-on-brand styling but I make the occasional exceptions for beautiful instances like Proenza Schouler's fall pieces. They just so happen to look their best when paired with other Proenza Schouler fall pieces. The embroidered embellishments in the amazing peacock sweater are so mesmerizing that all I want to do is pile on the embellishments by adding the coordinating and equally shiny skirt. The accessorizing is the mix-matchy fun part: 3.1 Phillip Lim Della witch booties in a patent leather, Wolford knee high socks, a VPL bra, Lulu Frost tassel necklace, and a geek chic pair of Prism optical are just enough to handle the overly-embellished school girl vibe with aplomb.

It's Never Too Early For Fall, Particularly 3.1 Phillip Lim's Sheer Pants Runway Kind Of Fall

What choice do I have when the beautiful sunny weather goes away and suddenly the mornings, afternoons, and evenings are filled with the unmistakable (sad) chill of winter? None, that's what. So I mix it up a couple days and start test driving out a couple Fall 2012 looks I was obsessed with when they walked at New York Fashion Week. This one is all 3.1 Phillip Lim. This floored me:


The idea of a tiny mini skirt in a matte leather looking all the bit classy was mind-blowing. You dress it way down with a pair of sheer pants and over-dress the top with a loose knit. It's a great way to wear a classic pump in a completely new way.

Viktor & Rolf's Nightcall



I need to grow my hair out. It's official. I want the femme fatale waves from Viktor & Rolf's fall 2012 runway show. It depicted an untouchable woman who definitely knows she looks intimidating and works it to the bone. Kasia Struss and Karlie Kloss look like they should be strutting down the howling moonlit catwalk to this song by Kavinsky. Check out Into The Gloss for more details from backstage!

Creatures of Comfort, Chloé

Cool Blues and Calming Blush Tones At Chloé



There's something really comforting about these detail shots at Chloé. It's full of soft layers, piled on top of each other like a Snuggle commercial. Down to the long hair tucked into the high necked knits, like you do when it's really chilly. There was a certain sportiness to this, too, which I really liked. The idea of not taking yourself too seriously when you're wearing a pencil skirt, and piling on layers to make it ultra cozy. I loved the palette, the styling, and the overall sense of calm. Love!
