The Little Orange Dress

Dress: Lanvin Shoes: Christian Louboutin Net-A-Porter.com Bag: Michael Kors

This spring, trade in your little black dress for a little orange dress. Don’t be shy when it comes to your accessories! A bright dress calls for metallic accessories to match. Whether it may be metallic gold, silver, or multi-color, the options are limitless. So go ahead and trade in black for bright!

pop of color

In 2012, ditch your red skinnies and add a pop-of-color with a pair of yellow shorts. Nothing says fun-in-the-sun like yellow! Pair these shorts with this fun, vintage inspired tee. Pull off this 60's inspired look with a fringed bag... definitely a staple. Don't forget a pair of funky sandals!

Who says you have to sacrifice comfort for fashion? I absolutely love this striped t-shirt dress that is easy, yet flattering. Spice up this dress with Burberry sandals and chic eyewear, to top off your look! 

new year, new shoes

Tom Ford metallic sandals

I rang in the New Year with Tom Ford… killer, metallic heels of course! It was surprising that I was not the only one to celebrate 2012 with the impeccable designer. Another Tom Ford fan sported these heels and danced in the New Year with glistening red on the dance floor. Last year was the year of platforms and chunky heels, but 2012 is all about the feminine stilettos. I know this will not be my last date with Tom!

holiday Gift idea

Alaia iPad case

I am absolutely head-over-heals in love with the Alaia iPad case. This casing is a perfect gift to put underneath the tree for that special someone who is always on the go and wants to amplify her style! Add some elegance to their outfit and let technology remain untamed with this animal-print calf hair case!

kick back & relax

1. A.P.C. 2. Isabel Marant 3. Ash

Kick back & relax this winter with a yummy, knitted sweater paired with nonchalant laced-up pants. This outfit would be great to wear while cozying up to the fireplace during the Holidays. You also won’t be afraid to step out of the house with this laid-back look!

Loree Rodkin indigo alligator cuff

I'm absolutely sick over this cuff, so of course I had to write a blog post about it! Loree Rodkin is known for her modern, yet medieval take on jewelry designing. You can sense the old world essence within the Hand of Fatima that is encrusted with diamonds and a blue sapphire center. Worn alone, or with stackable bracelets, this cuff is sure to turn some heads!

Stella McCartney Falabella Tote

COLORS: Gold, Brown, Fuchsia, Blue, Gold Boucle

This tote is absolutely fabulous in EVERY color! Whether you prefer vibrant, subdued, metallic, or textured, there is sure to be a tote that matches your taste. Sling this tote over your shoulder, decorating it with metallic chains, or fold it underneath your arm as an oversized clutch. I personally love the metallic gold! 

These boots are made for walking

Dress: Parker Boots: Jeffrey Campbell

I love this little kaki dress paired with these buckled boots. The elongated wrap around strap allows multiple ways in which you could wear these leather booties. Traveling somewhere warm during the holidays? Pair this bell-sleeved dress with these gladiator sandals, with a pop of leopard-print.

Start off an effortless look with a cashmere oversized sweater, tweed mini skirt, and simple earrings. Let your shoes do the talking, and finish your look with dynamic movement! I love this fringed platform pump that features lace-up detail and dangling fringe & metal detail on the back. You won’t go unnoticed in this relaxed look, especially when on the move!

Happy to announce yet another successful trunk show in the company of great friends!
