Goth Sophistiqué



If it weren't for the plethora of feminine details, I'd confidently agree with you that this otufit is indeed too dark. Almost goth even. But when you're talking about a sea anemone-esque silk blouse from Prabal Gurung paired with a sexy Rick Owens Lilies slit wrap skirt, all that black becomes more digestible than you think. Taking a note from muse Jenna Lyons, work this look with a quirky pair of Cutler and Gross opticals and a fiery red lip. The Alexander McQueen bow-embellished booties are oh-so girly in rich black suede, which only serves to compliment the luxe studded Valentino Va Va Voom clutch.

Let's Take A Minute To Appreciate the Black Swan, Tulle Gucci Confection Emma Stone Wore Last Night



It's risky for sure, seeing as she was dressing so buttoned-up and proper prior to this priemere for The Amazing Spiderman. I have to say, I'm pretty obsessed with this. The sheer tulle interpretation of a trendy slit, the deep plunging neckline, belted waist, and a modern take on lace on the cap sleeves.  If a parisian red carpet professional like Marion Cotillard wore it, I doubt people would be on the fence at all.

Invest In Your Sanity: Pieces You Need For Trying Days When You Have "Nothing To Wear"



Simple, clean, effortless. Seems easy enough, right? That is an endless uphill pursuit some days, when all I need to get out of the house is an outfit that just works. Those trying days where nothing fits or  looks right  are solved by an outfit made of transitional easy pieces like these: Classic, leg-elongating The Row pants, topped off with a fitted superfine Theory t-shirt with a contrasting athletic stripe down the sides. Minimalist and modern The Row cat eye sunglasses literally got with everything, thanks the the transparent acetate and soft brown lens. I am a little blown away by the price, but when you find something that just works (damn it), I find it hard to resist calling it an "investment in my sanity."  The heels? They are sex on your feet, courtesy of the leopard print by Givenchy. Finally, the studded and tasseled bag by Mulberry is refined, lady-like, but with a hard edge. Put yourself out of your misery and invest in some of these ASAP.

Field Day


All Saints hat, Theory Blazer, Alexander Wang sandals, Zara top, J Brand skinny jeans, Marc by Marc Jacobs bag, Anthropologie sunglasses 

Nothing is more comfortable to me than black. I don't care how pastel the trends may be, or how much in love with them I am at the time, I am truly home when I wear my go-to black pieces. And how could I resist when they go perfectly together as well? At least for one day this weekend, I eschewed all trends and stayed true to myself.

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

Zara studio sheer silk pants, Kate Spade bow pumps, Zara parka, Theory knit, Theory dress

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.
