The Collection: Louis Vuitton Fall 2013

The Theme: Taking a Mid-Century Leisurely Lounge

The Color Palette: Muted jewel tones (mainly blue, teal), beige

About the Collection: According to the runways for fall, astrakhan is back (sigh), along with a level of unabashed exhibitionism, as on display at Louis Vuitton via the negligees, silken pajamas, and long, loung-able robes transported around on the lithe models making the transition from belonging to the most intimate of settings to become passable as outerwear. The bags, the brand’s bread and butter, remain steady in their shaping, however get a royal treatment of exotic skins and fur for a purposeful hard meets soft appeal.

Miu Miu’s Glitter Loafers Have Arrived…Whip Out Your Plastic!

by

[Miu Miu Glitter Loafers,available in Blue or Pyrite,  $495]

Summer’s wedges and sandals have been rather kind to our feet, but there’s nothing like the boy-meets-girl loafer, come fall 2012. Need a little more glitz? Look no further than Miu Miu‘s glittered footwear options, which will certainly spice up the boy meets girl aesthetic of the traditional loafer style! Complete with a trendy tassel, these shoes are the modern (but no less magical) version of Dorothy’s red heels. Below are some additional favorites from Prada’s little sister brand, Miu Miu:

[Glitter Sneaker, $495, via NeimanMarcus.com]

Miu Miu is not a rookie in the glitter scene. The brand has been known to deck out sandals, heels, boots, and even sneakers. Each pair, pictured above, has its own avant-garde imagination fit for a shoe queen. The loafers, I believe, are a bit more toned down, if sparkle can ever be described as toned down, that is.

Not a glitter girl? Why not try the divine patent or python printed skin iterations? It’s nearly impossible not to have these on your wish list, lust list, can’t-breathe-until-these-are-in-my-closet list, and whatever other list you have. Available now at Miu Miu!

Julia Off Duty

I often go out and meet friends or head to an event immediately after work, sometimes changing out my top or dress into something less “office appropriate,” but usually my shoes and handbag remain the same. I need to travel light and travel functional, because if I go home to ‘change,” good luck getting me out the door again!

It’s great to have good versatile pieces that can move from the work place to the chic French bistro down the street where I meet my girlfriends for happy hour; for this Friday afternoon I swapped out an Alternative Apparel t-shirt I was wearing for a more risque handkerchief top, flats for wedges, and added my favorite turquoise double knuckle ring. All day I rocked a great new Goody elastic, which adds a bit of hardware chic via a metal jewelry-inspired bar.

How do you transition your look from day to evening with minimal updates?

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…
