Olive Scarves and Snakeskin in Autumn

Charlotte & Lisa Scarf
Romwe Snakeskin Print Trench Coat
Christian Dior Sweater (vintage)
J. Brand Skinny Jeans
Alexander Wang Rocco Duffel
Topshop Ankle Boots



So here is another look in these boots for you guys today. Last week I dressed them up with a leather motorcycle jacket and a red Rag & Bone knit sweater. Today, I played with loose layers and neutral, autumnal colors. My favorite part about Fall weather is the chance of getting to mix and match many pieces. It's all about feeling comfortable but also cool and confident at the same time.

Sheer Red Dress

Romwe Sheer Red Dress, Shampalove Leopard Clutch, Balenciaga Sandals, Christian Dior Round Sunglasses, Marc Jacobs Gold Watch, Nixon Neon Orange Watch




Sheer garments seem to be taking the Fashion realm by storm. Finding their way from the catwalk straight into fashion blogs. I'm partial to the trend due to its effortless beauty. It's a simple, and subtle, way to add some understated glamour. This dress, with its scalloped hem and tasseled belt shouts Gucci Spring 2011. Brights don't seem to be going into hiding anytime soon either, and I'm happy about that. I actually wore this little red number to a meeting yesterday. I followed the rendezvous with a ritual browsing session of international Vogue and Elle at the bookstore and a strawberry crepe at the local Pâtisserie.

NYFW Makeup

When packing for any trip, or photo shoot, makeup is always crucial. As far as my personal picks go, I'm pretty easy. I only require pressed powder, subtle bronzer, creamy blush, eyeliner and nude lipstick or gloss. I only wear mascara and/or eyeshadow at night. My personal favorites are Chanel and Dior. And if I'm in an absolute hurry, the darkest eyeliner possible, preferably smudged, face powder and lip gloss are all I really need.



What are your essentials?

10.10.10. Dior SS 2011 / & Brashy Couture Winners!

Christian Dior for Spring 2011, can easily be depicted as cheeky fun. John Galliano bottled Betty Boop, Hawaiian prints and Sailor accents with ease. It's the kind of clothing that can both flatter a woman and let her live out a South Pacific -like fantasy.

Picture it: grass skirts, Tiki torches and grosgrain ribbon melding with a romantic serenade and a Pineapple smoothie set seaside.

Kicking back on Sunday with Lanvin and the Oscars

Before, one could only imagine the outcome of creativity if Cleopatra: Queen of the Nile and Pocahontas were BFF's and swapped wardrobes. Well now, you can see it and this is exactly what it would look like: furs, feathers, black fringe, tribal jewelry and pleated metallics. Lanvin took my breath away. Well done, Alber Elbaz!


Paris Fashion Week really won me over this Season.


Famous faces:
Magdalena Frackowiak, Freja Beha Erichsen, Anna Selezneva and Natasha Poly.


Can anyone identify the model on the far left?

♥
Other noteworthy collections:
Christian Dior (Think: Newsies meets high-end, yet old fashioned, Circus glamour.) Isabel Marant (Sandy, from Grease, would so wear this. 50's and 60's chic to the max!) Gareth Pugh (beetle shaped capes and Space traveling-ready boots.) Nina Ricci (brought Old Hollywood Glamour back, in the form of body hugging knee length tea dresses, lace and pops of happy color.) Dries Van Noten (Think: Pretty in Pink, Ferris Bueller, with a tinge of Back to the Future / 80's cool!) And we can't forget about Balmain - Equal parts trendsetting and a flashback to 1970's: Disco glam.



Who saw Alice in Wonderland over the weekend? Thoughts? Likes/dislikes? I usually wait for the crowds to dissipate before attempting to view a feature film... I like it quiet and empty.


Ps. What is/was your favorite dress from The Oscars last night? I absolutely loved Sarah Jessica Parker's hair.


And, a food snap. For those of you who requested more of them.

A typical breakfast of biscuits with strawberry jam, banana and mocha coffee (made by moi!)
