halloween couture

halloween couture from valentino. far from spooky!

do you know what you're being for halloween yet? i've had a crazy busy week and haven't been able to give it a moments thought.

two things i love

1. a chic black ladder propped up against a bathroom wall as a towel hanger.
2. a glam black wedding dress. particularly if you pick a wedding date like oct. 31st!

pic sources: fuji files, simply seductive

inspired by... large art

i don't know what it is, but hang some over sized art or photography on the wall and instantly i fall in love. doesn't it add such a surprising and interesting focal point to a room? and in lieu of a headboard - genius!

short and sweet

kinda obsessed with the idea of wearing nothing but a short sweater/jacket/dress + heels. super sexy and super simple.

this is lovely: jason wu's workspace

how sweet is jason wu's manhattan work space? the fabulous artwork. newspaper wallpaper made from pages of the new york observer. a trio of steel tables. oh and then there are the clothes. the super, beautiful, amazing clothes.

this is lovely: elie saab

leaving you for the weekend with some images from elie saab's spring collection... which i think was the star of the paris shows. the color palette has a 70s vibe, but the silhouettes and fabric choice kept it from looking like disco deja vu. everything looks super wearable and i'm excited to see some of these gowns pop up on the red carpet.

hope you all have a beautiful fall weekend!

yes, please

adding a calf-skimming, ladylike skirt to my must haves for fall. and if i can find one in leather that will just be icing on the cake.

two things i love

1. a charming bar cart overflowing with drinks and roses
2. a white fireplace, lined with mismatched vases

inspired by... orange on the runway

j. mendel

erin fetherston and monique lhuillier

charlotte ronson, diane von furstenberg, cynthia rowley and halston

the leaves are turning orange and so did the spring runways. looooving all the orange hues for the spring. such an unexpected color for glamorous dresses and delicate heels... yet it is perfection.
