Being that my blog is fairly new, I have finally posted my first fashion article. I am letting you in on what I see as a hot trend, or a great item that will mix and match, and linger in your closet for years. I love vintage, especially vintage coats, purses, belts, and jewelry. I am not a label whore by any means, as I believe it's about the execution, however, my first write up is based from one great website that houses some of the hottest labels, ShopBop @ www.shopbop.com. Although I currently cannot afford most of the items that are on their website, and trust me, I'd buy all the clothes listed below, I must say, I do have expensive taste. Hey, I was born with a great eye for fashion, and usually when I am out shopping, I have a tendency to pick the priciest item hanging. Don't get me wrong, "bargain hunter" is in my blood, and in the near future, I will be posting cheap steals that I find so you can all get in on the action!
This was a blast for me, and I hope you enjoy some of my choices, and head over to ShopBop to do a little shopping.
Right below each collage I have a brief write up on what I would mix and match. Click on each photo collage twice to get the Designer, Price, and a better look!
The tomato BB Dakota top is the star of this vixen series. This wide-neck top features an envelope hem at the split back, and a ruching at the softly structured, short shoulder, sleeves. I pair this hot tamale with the awesome Nina African Stripe skirt by Torn, and the 7 for All Mankind platforms. The 2nd option with the top is to pair it with the Rag & Bone leather shorts, and your feet covered in Giuseppe Zanotti's leopard platform shoe. The Alice Bag is to die for, as it is a shape that isn't too common, and can be dressed up or down.
These are some accessories that fall into the warm neutral zone. I threw in a few pieces of clothing for the trend and style factor! I would definitely pair the cream boot by Boutique 9 with the Roxanne Grace dress, and the Elizabeth & James clog pump with the Joie outfit which is a cool pair of silk, just above the ankle, cargo pants that has a fitted adjustable hem.
In this glitzy, earth color mixture, I would throw together the olive silk jumpsuit by Alice + Olivia with the muted gold sequined and beaded dolman sleeve shrug, and the leather chocolate heeled sandal by Pelle Moda. The charcoal high waist skirt topped with the double-breasted silk jacket-style blouse that has ruffle trim at the shoulders by Wink. This outfit is a bit sexy from the backside, with the top having a wrap detail and keyhole at split back. I would wear the gold pumps to add a bit of a warm vs. cool element to the outfit.
Muted grey and black mixed with a pop of citron. These outfits were made for a more casual day, as I paired the Ever Tank/Dress with the Sauce ruched biker shorts, or the french terry ankle pants and the jersey black structured shoulder top, both by Torn. The Pelle Moda bootie will work well with all the outfits.
More accessories for the cool side of things. I dig the Alexander Wang zippered sunglasses! Peep of the Bandeau tops are coming back too!
Mod yellow, where I mixed the sweetheart mesh top by Twelfth with the Rachel Pally floral cargo short, and Joie lace up bootie. The trend of wearing your undergarments as outer garments is back, and this Carrie Romper by Jill Stuart is dressed with feminine touches of scalloped lace along the hem line. Add a little rocker chic by wrapping the metal studded Temperley London belt around the waist, double up on the two bangle bracelets, gold button earrings, and the yellow sandals by Twelfth.
Last is my creamy brown casual mix. In this mix, I would pair the JBrand Inez skinny chinos with the Jamison Lucas tank, or the Joie Rizzo tank with the Colbie oxfords by Pour La Victoire. The second outfit, I would pair the Genetic slouch cigarette jean with the C&C brown long sleeve tee, adding a touch of vintage femininity with the lace vest by Foley + Corrina. Put on your rhinestone studs, the Jeffrey Campbell wrap boot, grab your tote, and enjoy your day!
