Rebecca Minkoff Fur Trimmed Trench

, , , , , , , , , , 2 Comments

I love a classic trench coat, but the Rebecca Minkoff Jacqueline fur trimmed trench makes me salivate.  A jacket like this is an investment piece that can be dressed up or dressed down.  I chose to show an outfit in between the two.  The green pants with magenta shoes may be a little too Barney for you, but I think it’s a cool way to pair two colors that some people are afraid to pair together, but really compliment each other nicely.

I love the geometric aspect of this outfit.  The color blocked sweater plays well off of the square shaped bag.  It also goes well with the lines of those amazing Giuseppi Zanotti wedges.  It’s the little things that make an outfit work, and I think this one is fab.

As you may know, I love pairing things with contrast.  The clean lines of the coat, shoes and clutch pair well with the girly dress and jewels.  I like that it’s a mix of some classic, timeless pieces with newer, trendier pieces.  (Pointed toe shoes are very hot right now.)
I would pair this look with a hot pink lip to match the coat, and an ever-so-slight cat eye with nude, or no, eyeshadow.  You should only play up one feature of your face or you could end up looking like a clown.  This look, paired with the previously described makeup, is girly, edgy and chic.

I really love this color combination of red and burgundy.  It almost clashes, but I think the two look fabulous together.  It’s a slight play on the monochromatic trend without being too literal.  The John Lennon-esque sunglasses may be too much for some, but I’m literally OBSESSED with them.  They’re the first item on my Chrismukkah list for sure.  They’re retro yet slightly modern and, obviously, fabulous.I love this look because it’s almost like grungy, downtown girl meets trendy uptown girl.  (Maybe I’ll call this look midtown girl?)  The boots, sunglasses and graphic t-shirt next to the Mulberry jacket and Miu Miu bag are somewhat in contrast with each other, but they come together to form a beautiful, bad-ass outfit.

Metallic Mulberry Top

, , , , , , , 2 Comments

Metallic’s are hot right now and an unexpected way to work them into your wardrobe is through your tops.  A lot of people are wearing gold and silver jeans, but this pleated Mulberry shirt is a perfect example of how to put an unexpected twist on one of the latest trends.
Because the shirt is such a statement piece the rest of the outfit should be kept relatively simple in terms of shape and color.  The black Lanvin skirt compliments the shirt without overpowering it.  I wouldn’t describe the clutch as simple, but it’s a little pop of fun.

The booties are amazing, and while they do make a statement they don’t overwhelm the ensemble, simply add to it.  The jewelry ties the bright gold of the clutch in with the rest of the outfit and plays off of the metallic theme.

Sometimes when wearing metallics I think it’s fun to work in more than one shade, like gold and silver.  But I think this shirt needs a plain palate to play off of so I stuck to black.  I love this look, and the top is one of my favorite items right now!

DVF Dress with Nikita Cat Eye Tom Fords

, , , , , , , , Leave a comment

I have loved Kourtney Kardashian‘s cat eye sunglasses from the moment I saw them.  Here she is wearing the Nikita by Tom Ford along with her fab riding boots:

I decided to pair the amazing frames with this Aztec-ish, DVF, body hugging dress.  A fun way to mix things up is by pairing simple, streamline dresses like this one, with very structured accessories.  The jacket is called the “long blazer” implying structure in it’s name.  It works well with the dress because of the contrast.  I like that when you take the coat off your shape looks that much more amazing because nobody was expecting it.

This clutch is amazing and very architectural.  It pairs very well with the color blocked Louboutins.  The earrings add the perfect, face framing pop of color.  If you’re not a fan of color swap them out for something a little bit more understated (but how could you not like these?!)  This outfit is very New York.  Love it!
