Wear This Now: Washed Out
3.1 PHILLIP LIM sweater / RAG & BONE shorts / 3.1 PHILLIP LIM bag / ZARA shoes / KATE SPADE SATURDAY sunnies
The 4th of July is fast approaching and all I want to wear is oversized knits by 3.1 Phllip Lim, boyfriend shorts by Rag & Bone, and top that off with black leather simple things. The round gold sunnies from Kate Spade Saturday remind me of my long lost pair of Karen Walker Von Trapps — I miss them so much! We'll see how they pan out when they arrive at my doorstep. Duh, pictures to come (or maybe even video?)

Looking Forward to Monday

I just could not resist posting a little preview of Monday's post for next week. It's all about them turtlenecks we talked about that that delectable Rag & Bone Rani dress. It is still a little too hot to be wearing all the layers, yes, but it was an experiment and hence worth it. It was also one of the few instances, as an individual looking for my own style, that I realized this dress from the Rag & Bone fall looks just perfect as it was styled on the runway. You'll see what I mean on Monday. In the meantime, happy Friday!
An Argument for the Return Of the Turtleneck As Layer
Before Steve Jobs got his hands on the mock neck (the only appropriate male turtleneck, in my opinion) and made it an icon of Silicon Valley, turtlenecks were epitome of chic, thanks to the likes of gamine Audrey Hepburn, sexy icon Marilyn Monroe, and classic Jackie O. Childhood memories were filled with my mom wearing turtlenecks, and even sometimes layering a slim one underneath dresses, cardigans or sweaters, evoking those classic silhouettes of classically stylish ladies. I swiftly followed her lead, because I at 7 years old could dress myself, thank you very much. Instead of going classic with black, I took a more experimental (and detrimental?) route with a cacophonous color palette of purple and kelly green to a kids birthday party. I was the life of the kid's party, for sure, but it was probably because they confused me for a young freelancer child clown for their entertainment. Nowadays I stick to classic black.
What a surprise, then, to find Rag & Bone successfully utilizing the turtleneck not in the chic execution of the aforementioned stylish ladies, but as a layer in the Fall 2012 collection. I was immediately inspired to try it again. I'm a big girl now, and there's now way I can be mistaken for a clown-in-training with a classic Calvin Klein fitted turtleneck tee layered under a super chic Rag & Bone Rani wrap dress. The wrap effect creates a sexy silhouette, keeping the look from being too prudish, and the addition of sleek patent leather Givenchy ankle boots and an Alexander Wang Pelican bag keep the look entirely modern and now.
The Minimalist Cool, Rag & Bone Resort

I'm going to find it very hard to resist this collection. It's entirely appropriate for the entire year, and it has the elements of style that are part of my permanent collection: Lean tailoring, layered buttoned up shirts, a clean somber palette, and minimalist approach.

NYFW: Rag & Bone Lovin'
Rag & Bone is for everyone. It's one of my favorite things about the collections. Marcus Wainwright and David Neville manage to create collections that speak to more than one type of woman. They consistently deliver unique and wearable looks (entire looks, people) and so focused on workmanship that it's hard not to be a fan. One look at the styling of this collection and it's easy to see that a lot of thought is going into the layering of these intricately printed pieces. A simple skirt is not so simple because it is a sleek hybrid of chevron patterned leather strips with wool embroidered accents.
It's overall feeling of decadence. From the gloves, to the belts, to the coats (the coats!) with the fur accents, I suspect this completely rational winter wear is going to be quite popular this coming fall. Love!
