Timeless Accessories

Classic jewelry and accessories go a long way. Up your look for less with diamonds or pearls! Lately I have been toting this pearl purse with blush garments and it elevates the look effortlessly. No one would ever know it, but this exact bag is a designer dupe and about $500 cheaper than its counterpart. The same goes for the earrings. If you peruse Moda Operandi or Farfeth often, then you probably notice a close resemblance to Alessandra Rich jewelry. I am happy to report this pair is from Baublebar and under $50.

Wear it like you Own it

I think the heading speaks for itself. The greatest fashion accessory (in my opinion) is your confidence. If you walk out of the house in a dress you are unsure about, and constantly fidget with it, you will draw attention to it! But if you step out and OWN IT, no one will think twice. Rock your look for less like it’s from Neiman Marcus! Speaking of lavish items, do you recognize the backdrop in these photos?! Believe it or not, this beautiful Pacific Heights home was the High School in the Walt Disney movie The Princess Diaries!

Do not let anyone tell you that feathers are out of style. In all honesty, the more fluff the better! Feathers are all over the runway in so many shapes and sizes and I love it. I have been a fan of feathers since I first dressed myself in them around age four! I think there is even a photo to prove it.

Jumpsuits remain hot items for the spring. From bell bottom, culotte, formal, and sequin, onesies are not going anywhere. The ivory and lace jumpsuits debuted during Michael Costello’s show were incredible. Mark my words…I will rock a similar version including the fro. Can my hair do that, Kristin?!

Sweeping garments are hotter than ever. Consequently, capes, caftans, and trains flood the NY fashion scene. I am a cape lady so this trend is a-ok with me. Pamela Rolland hit the nail on the head mixing all of the above with timeless pieces.

You may recognize this dress from a Wish List Wednesday post a couple of weeks ago. Simply put, I could not resist the urge to buy it! I refer to this little number as my, “Lady Gaga” dress. The shoulder pads remind me of her. I bought it at full price, but I am happy to report that it is now 50% off and available in every size. In fact, the entire Nasty Gal website is 50% off, but every item is final sale. Do your due dilignce and read the reviews and refer to the size charts. The material is not stretchy at all so I recommend sizing up.

I already got my money’s worth with this dress as I wore it during New York Fashion week, and again for Valentine’s Day dinner last night in SF. It has a very thin lining so I suggest wearing black undergarments including stockings underneath it. I do not want to compete with the floral embroidery so I wear it solo and add a little funk with earrings and shoes. What do you think, on a scale of 1-10 how Gaga do I look?

The Disco Fur Dress

This dress is dreamy. I love how they pieced together so many elements to create one happy number. At first glance, it screams retro. Probably because of the shift silhouette. But the more you look at it, the more you will notice. Check out the dainty mandarin collar and the coordinating oriental pattern. My favorite details are the faux fur cuffs. As if pointing that out was really necessary. The pale pink and sunny yellow perfectly balance one another out.

The Shoes

Speaking of pale pink…you could definitely rock a pink pair with this flirty piece, but I am partial to a nude heel. Nude shoes have the ability to elongate the appearance of your legs. Who doesn’t want that?! These patent leather sock boots are super trendy and remind me of old timey go-go boots. Considering I refer to this garment as a “disco fur dress,” these funky boots fit into the ensemble nicely.

The Accessories

Too much fur or never enough?! This pretty pink clutch is the PERFECT addition to this playful outfit. Safely store Sephora’s lip stain in Marvelous Mauve inside of your fur clutch for a natural smile. This stuff is magic. It easily lasts for eight hours. Polish off the look with “Vivid Crispin Drops” in yellow. Now don’t judge me if I have this on next week!

The Dress

As you can probably imagine, fashionistas take the statement “dress to impress” to a whole new level during NYFW. Luckily, you can always rely on Nasty Gal when you’re in the market for a spicy statement piece. This dress will definitely have heads turnin’ whether you’re in the Big Apple or out with your sweetie for V-Day. A fun take on the traditional LBD, the black sheer design is simply chic and the magenta floral embroidery adds a unique touch. But can we talk about the shoulder pads?! Talk about a blast from the past!

The Shoes

To my advantage, I already own a pair of pearl stunners that would look great with this dress. Check out how I styled them for my Birthday here. However, velvet booties would create a visually appealing contrast and I have my eye on this pair. They are 50 % off – hooray! If you have had enough of the bootie scene, consider a pair of transparent heels. This hip style is about to make a grand entrance into the fashion scene and the “Portal” in smoke is a good starting point.

The Accessories

Bare legs in freezing temperatures is not smart. Consider pairing sheer black tights with this ensemble. For added warmth, top a black fur vest (similar to yesterday’s look) over it. Add a pop of color with Sephora’s cream lip stain in Blackberry Sorbet.

Over the last five years, fit and flare garments have become consumer favorites. Fashionistas of all shapes and sizes are wearing this shape. Almost every bride in my peer group dresses in a “mermaid” style gown and I do not blame them for doing so. There is nothing sexier than a hip hugging silhouette!

This fit and flare skirt is only $42 at Chicwish and available in blue or burgundy. Dress it with a button-down blouse for a sophisticated look, or pair it with a bodysuit for a night on the town. I chose the latter and spiced things up with a velvet and lace bodysuit. I completed the look with sheer tights and my favorite pearl accents.

Cinderella is proof that a pair of shoes can change your life. If you don’t ‘buy it”, then you probably do not own a pair by Jeffrey Campbell. Each and every shoe is crafted beautifully and is incredibly unique. These pearl embellished booties will add a little Beyonce to every ensemble you style them with.

Mixing prints is not an exact science. I suggest starting with one piece then building off of there. I was attracted to this bodysuit from the moment I laid eyes on it. I love demonstrating how sheer doesn’t have to be racy and the floral design definitely adds a ladylike touch. With the holiday season in mind, textured or colored bottoms are a must. I chose the latter!

It is very important to break up the contrasting prints that you are wearing. You do not want to wear a chevron top and a plaid bottom. Instead, separate the patterns with a solid item in between. These burgundy flare pants are the barrier between the floral and leopard print patterns, and I love how they accentuate the rose petals.

If you are a mixed prints newbie, I do not blame you for feeling overwhelmed. Remember this: leopard print is a neutral! As far as I am concerned, black or tan accents are interchangeable with black and tan animal print. In the featured look these leopard booties elevate the ensemble from fair to funky.
