Romantic Chic

This season the feminine romantic look has been very in. From blouses with lace to dresses with ruffels it seems as if we've been channeling Marie Antoinette. I absolutely love this look!!!

Lesportsac + The OC = Disaster

So I randomley decided to check out lesportsac's website and on the front page was a link for Lesportsac for the OC and being a major OC fan I took a look. After clicking on it I soon discovered that Lesportsac is doing OC inspired bags. From the TJ weekender to the Coop clutch you just won't know what to do with yourself. I have to say I find the line absolutely hideous but, the names are very funny.
Take a look:

Coop Clutch in Tiajuana Rose, horrendous...right??



Harbor High Tote in Sparkler, this makes me cringe



The Outsider in Kid Chino, if you carry this you'll definitly be an outsider.

Thank you & Nan Kempner

Hi everyone, First off I want to say thank you so much for all of your answers to my previous post, I understand how everything works now!!
Now, all of you should go to Metropolitan Museum of Art ASAP to see the exhibit "Nan Kempner: American Chic". The Met recreated, with the help of Kempner's husband, part of her closet. I went with a friend yesterday and it is amazing, I've never seen so many incredible clothes in one personal closet before. Nan Kempner owned over 600 pieces from Yves Saint Laurent, she was also believed to be Saint Laurent's muse early on in her life. But, aside from the amazing YSL pieces you can expect to see beautiful pieces from designers such as Balenciaga, Madame Gres, Bill Blass, Jean Paul Gaultier, Valentino, and more. Kempner owned fabulous jewelry as well, mostly from Kenneth Jay Lane. Everything shown in the Met is probably 1/4 of her wardrobe but, it is definitley a must see!! Everything from her resort/ beach wear to her evening couture is fabulous!!
Here are a few pictures from the show:

Valentino Evening Gown, Red Chiffon with white polka - dotts.
I love this dress. It's absolutely gorgeous

Yves Saint Laurent Evening Ensemble, Yellow Silk Faille Cape with Black Silk Velvet Gown
Gorgeous, right?

Madame Gres, Silk Jersey Evening Gowns
I don't want to give the whole show away so theres a few for you!!
NOW GO SEE THE REST!!!!!!


Here are a few pictures of Nan Kempner herself:

Grey Skinny Jeans

I love Black and dark Blue skinnies but, I'm really starting to love Grey ones a little more. The other day my friend was wearing the cutest pair of Grey Cheap Mondays and I have to say they looked cooler than my blue J Brands(which I absolutely love) at the time. Also, a couple weeks ago at school a girl was wearing an adorable pair of Grey Levi's skinny jeans. But, because I'm saying this don't get rid of your Black and Blue pairs, I'm certainly not going to!
My favorite pairs:

J Brand 9" Midrise 12" Pencil Leg Jeans in Charcoal
Shopbop



Sass and Bide Frayed Misfit Stove Pipe Jean in Gunmetal
Shopbop



Cheap Monday 5259 tight 45 min Stonewash jeans
Zoovillage



Levi's Outlaw Skinny Jeans in Steel

Let me know what you think of Grey Skinnies and what your favorite brands are in general!!!

Cool New Store!

Hey everyone!! Happy New Year!!!
I'm still on break and in my lots of extra time I was reading Fred Flare's blog and found the website of a store I had never heard of before. It's called Noisette, the store has cute brands such as Manoush, American Retro, and more. Noisette is located at 54th North 6th Street, Williamsburg, Brooklyn. A bit far but, worth the trip and if your not able or wanting to make the trip check out their website here!!
So here are a few of my favorite things from Noisette:

American Retro Cardigan Art



Bel Air Valority Top



Maje Loulou Dress
I adore this dress
