Sorbet

 I can't get enough Equipment. I just bought this blouse in Sorbet, which is such an amazing color almost because of its lack of color? Make any sense? The blouse radiates summer and will look super fresh paired with black and white separates and accessories. The anticipation is killing me!

Denim

I am totally a roll up/cropped jeans convent this spring. I am waiting for those Isabel Marant heels to come out already!

Outfit: Day in the Hamptons

*Don't forget to grab your iPad and chic case - that one-lane highway can be a killer on a sunny morning

Fringe

How fantastic are these Diane von Furstenberg boots? I wish they were already sitting in my closet. Such a fun shoe for Fall.

New In: Prada Cat Eye's

They make my desk look ten times better just sitting there :)

Manolo Blahnik cut-out booties: Office friendly and off-duty cool.

Vogue's Ten Best Dressed Choice - 03/11

We can all afford to take a style cue from Karen Elson, who looks simply romantic at a Chanel dinner last week

on my mind

Bally color-block dress. Makes you feel summer!

Bobbi Brown concealer compact. I don't wear concealer ever, but I really want to try this out.

I'm so into this look on Rachel Weisz. This is how I like to walk around the city in between seasons on casual days. She can never not look gorgeous.

This pair of Oscar de la Renta Mosaico Button earrings. They can add a great vintage feel to more modern outfits.

A+ on Styling

Chanel proved its a master at winter layering

Dressed-down, cool easy styling

Silver nails

Low heel

LV Juxtaposed

Ms. Coquette - proper during the and racy at night

Texture and Textiles

Valentino played with various textures and textiles in its fall collection

Integrating snakeskin prints and managing to make it look very ladylike

Rich hues + soft and hard fabrics

Attention to detail was evident in each piece. I'm really fond of what Valentino put down the runway. 

New Chloé Blouse

I bought a silk blouse by Chloe with an unusual slit down the middle.

I love the shape of the collar.

  This is a perfect addition to my spring/summer wardrobe, and a more conservative piece despite the nude shade.

Chloé x 2

I'm so into the make up and hair.

The cufflinks add a nice touch.

Another boxy accordion bag makes its way into another collection.

I got a little bit of Chloe on the runway and a little bit of Chloe in the mail this afternoon : )

Excited to open up the box and see how it fits. 

Trains, Planes, and Automobiles

What sophisticated urban uniforms Phoebe Philo has brought us! 

The detail at the calf where the pants meets the shoe is so sporty and elegant.

Boxy and file-folder-type bags are super functional and great for the office. 

What a superb collection. Makes me want to hop into my BMW and take a ride on the autobahn.

Singular Sensation

There are some singular pieces from the Roland Mouret Fall collection that are absolutely exquisite. I have a lot of trouble finding that particular color green. If anyone has seen that green somewhere lately, pleae let me know!

That Purple

Being a New Yorker watching Paris fashion week unfold, I felt this song couldn't be a more appropriate representation of my sentiments:

It's official: emerald, royal blue, fuchsia & navy, burnt umber & maroons, and that purple will be some of the colors next season. I really loved Balenciaga wholeheartedly this time around.
