Animal-Friendly, Faux Skins on Exotic Shoes, Bags, and Jewelry
[Topshop Loco V Throat Sandal, $50 (only available in size 8.5, 9.5, 10.5)]
Accessories in skins can transition any outfit from bland to brilliant. While head-to-toe snakeskin may be a bit much, a pop of skin on a bag or shoe is just enough for less obvious attention. These accessories can blend seamlessly with many looks starting right now and into the fall season.
However, why not take the cruelty -free approach? Animal lovers can still appreciate luxury, well-made animal-friendly accessories that are also quite budget-friendly. Try the brilliant Topshop sandal (above) now with jeans and a tank, or in the fall again with socks or black tights. Or, the House of Harlow Clutch (see below) can take you to an elegant, outdoor wedding or a casual, indoor date night when paired properly. Don’t shy away from faux exotic skin textures and prints! Let us help you master this trend while keeping your entire look in moderation check, and protecting the little critters and creatures of the world.

Pointed-toe shoes are back and better than ever! The sharp toe makes a strong statement of presence and power, complimenting the new, slimmer and sleeker silhouettes found on the runways. Are you ready to say arriverderci to platforms? If so, slide a pair of these on to instantly evoke prim etiquette, yet also channel an assertive feminine sexiness. Men have power watches, we have pointy heels!

Black and Blue is NOT a Fashion Faux Pas: We’ll Show You How to Style Them Together!

I have a serious bone to pick with whoever said that wearing black and blue together is a fashion faux pas. This rule is utterly erroneous these days! You absolutely CAN wear black and navy together; take the fall 2012 runways as inspiration as to how to perfectly pair the two neutrals together.
No one did black and blue better than Rebecca Taylor in her Fall 2012 RTW collection (seen above). She effortlessly mixed the colors to craft unique looks that are dark and edgy, yet sophisticated.
Being that both of these hues are neutrals, black and navy actually work quite well together. I adore the way a navy sweater looks with black jeans, or the way a black dress looks with a navy blazer. Navy looks fantastically improper (and anything but wrong) when paired with black accessories. The best practice for putting together a black and blue look is to make sure the colors are distinguishable from each other (i.e. don’t pair a hue of navy-black with a matte black item), and keep the fabrications in similar families, i.e. silks with other light weight fabrics, wovens with wovens, jersey with jersey). Enough talk about it, here’s how we’d arrange our best black and blue ensembles: Continue reading…
