Chic Street Style: Leather and Lace | February 22, 2012

A good leather jacket is definitely something you should have in your closet.  I love this tan Michael Kors jacket because it transitions so well from Spring to Fall and from Winter to Spring.  It’s too cold in Oklahoma to wear it in the middle of winter and it’s too fitted to layer much underneath.  My Franco Sarto pumps are some of the most comfortable shoes I own and perfect for someone who is on their feet all day. Here’s how I styled them in the summer rain storm. Here’s how I styled them for a summer lunch.

Whitney Eve Takes the City to Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Studio | February 21, 2012

Whitney Port held her Fall/Winter 2012 fashion show at “the tents” this season, the Lincoln Center. It was an early morning show, but the crowd arrived promptly to see what will be in store this fall. Her collection “Whitney Eve” is composed of an array of silhouettes from convertible party dressed to charming menswear-inspired shapes that are complimented with new, fresh designs and color palettes. This season Port drew inspiration from an antique kaleidoscope she found in her Grandmother’s house.

NOLCHA New York Fashion Week Features Megla M. | February 20, 2012

London-based designer, Megla M., put on their Fall/Winter 2012 NOLCHA runway show at New York Fashion Week. The show was interesting and caught everyone’s attention.  Many of the designs had a “high-drama” feel to them: big bows, utilitarian sleeves, and big, bold coats. Lacy garments were presented as well to soften the overall look of the designs along with geometrically draped garments. Overall, the show was quick and had very interesting structured garments. Below are a few photos of Megla M.’s designs:

Naeem Khan Presents Autumn/Winter 2012 Line to Star-Studded Audience | February 20, 2012

Naeem Khan brought on a beautiful Autumn/Winter line to the Lincoln Center audience at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week. Inspired by the decadence and dust of India, Khan wanted to reflect the theme off the body as a canvas. The concept of body art is deeply rooted in the Indian culture—which is why Naeem Khan wanted to make this a key role in the show. Utilizing the designs from Indian culture, Khan started out his collection by dabbing white-out on black boards and printed in Switzerland.  The paisleys and swirl motifs were used as an inspiration for all the embroidery detail. The … Read More »

Manic Monday: Black, White, and Chic All Over | February 20, 2012

This skirt is too cute for words! You don’t necessarily have to wear it with black, either. If you’re feeling a little edgy, you could pair this skirt with a bright neon blouse to change things up a bit. Besides, neon is a huge hit right now! That would also be why I chose the clutch. The color would literally pop against this outfit! As for jewelry, keep it a little more simple by pairing this gorgeous porcelain and stainless steel link bracelet by Penelope Poet (available in black or white) and these stunning Vince Camuto earrings! And, since it’s Monday, … Read More »
