La La Lanvin

Alber Elbaz's Lanvin never fails to come out with perfectly spot-on, covetable shoes...especially for the Spring!
As is the case with any stand out piece, it's all about care and attention to detail without blatant over-styling that catches my eye!

Here are my picks from the S/S 2012 Collection, which took a decidedly boho-luxe direction...
(can you tell I'm also having a serious weakness for snakeskin at the moment?)

Je Veux...J'Adore... Turns 1!

I can't believe it's been a full year since I started this project!

The opportunities it has allowed me thus far have been incredible, and have more than exceeded any expectations. 
Cannot wait to see what the future brings!

Cheers!

DVF + Current/Elliott

The Princess of Prints and mega premium denim brand Current/Elliott have teamed up for a capsule collection of  jeans, pencil skirts and wrap dresses, reportedly based on a mutual love and appreciation for "Europe's rock 'n roll era".

My picks from the collection are the light-washed denim wrap dress and the classic skinny jean
(love the green print!), both very DVF yet still embodying the cool, relaxed LA-style of Current/Elliott.

Nonoo F/W 2012 - NYFW Part I

On Friday I had the pleasure of attending the Nonoo F/W 2012 presentation for NYFW at the Standard Hotel.

The collection, in short, was stunning!  Misha Nonoo, the designer behind the line, focuses on impeccable tailoring and details, and the fruits of her labor were apparent.

Channeling a young, Parisian sophisticate, the collection featured crisp, tailored pieces, rich textures, drapery, and playful touches of lace, sequins and fur in vibrant jewel tones and neutrals.

 Beautifully refined, sophisticated and glamorous yet still youthful and fresh, the Nonoo F/W 2012 collection is a must have for the chic, stylish girl with discerning tastes.

 I was also able to sit down and have a brief pre-show chat with the designer, to gain some insight into her current collection, what inspires the designer, and her views on fashion.

I absolutely loved the draped jersey maxi dress, the fur embellishments (how gorgeous is the garnet shade, and the belted vest with fur collar?!) and flared-hem skirt with side lace detailing, however the standout for me was the black coat with black shearling collar

UPDATE: The platform pumps featured during the presentation are from ALDO, available here!

A closer, albeit blurry, look at two choice pieces: the shearling collared jacket and the jacket with garnet-colored fur...although how great also, is the blouse to the left, with the sequined sleeves??
Cannot wait for the collection to be available!
