It’s really incredible to see how classics can be reworked and reworked and reworked at Chanel. I really have to hand it to Karl Lagerfeld; he has done for Chanel what any storied fashion house would want — been able to attract new generations of customers. I absolutely love this cream heavily layered sweaterdress, but equeally so, the handbag & must-have enclosure bag is simply pure genius. It’s such a fun concept playing off on the idea how the Chanel quilted bag is an essentail every lady must have. I would be curious to see if any of these pop up come next fashion week – I sure hope so!

So they may not be the most practical of looks, however these embellished tights, found on the runways of Miu Miu’s fall 2009 collection are absolutely stunning. I love how they were made to match the decoration on the footwear, and add an intense oomph to any look. I think I like the cream better than the black, as it is easier to see the detailing against the rib of the tights. I’m not sure if they were made strictly for the runway, or will be for sale, but I can’t help but thinking how to launder them…

I really like the idea of jumpsuits, however on petite frames (like yours truly) they’re reminiscent of wearing onesie childrens pajamas. The tank tops/shorts duo is much more manageable, hence I love this Brushed Abstract Jumpsuit, $22.80. The print is absolutely New York cool, and void of any heavy 80s references. Pair it with some chunky or skinny hoop earrings, a pendant necklace, and canvas platforms.

Tila March is the heartwarming story of one fashion editor’s search for the perfect handbag – functional smarts meets everyday chic. After creating a prototype, Tamara Taichman wore her bag at Paris Fashion Week catching the eye of fellow editors thus in 2006 Tila March was born. In collaboration with her boyfriend leather-goods executive Nicolas Berdugo the designing duo branded Tila March as a combination of the partners’ names plus March, the month they met.
Although there are other styles with the signature tab closure, the Zelig canvas tote style remains the most popular. So coveted is the Zelig that Tila March made a transparent limited edition version with Neon Pink leather trimming for Parisian retailer Colette in 2008. Made of canvas with contrast leather trim the Zelig will take you from office to beach and back again. With the press of a hidden button a clever gusset expands to give you more carrying space. We love the classic simplicity and resort inspired colors, lovely. Also exciting is the shoe collection – think classic Parisian style defined by clean lines with clever cut out straps and butterfly bow details. Pair the Tila March bag with a pair of Charlotte Ronson strappy wedge sandals and oversized shades from Tom Ford and you’re all set for sunny days ahead.
