OOTD: All I need in this life of sin is...

...me & my boyfriend jeans. Well, and a few other things (CHANEL, cupcakes, champagne). But these things are sooooooo comfortable! Yesterday as I got ready to run ONE MILLION errands, I wanted to be comfortable but stylish. 







There's something so effortlessly sexy about jeans, a white tee, and some heels. Let's just say, my husband and I barely made it out of the house ;) TMI?

Ombré over?

I don't think so. Not quite yet. The trend that first started making an appearance on the runway a few seasons back, was still prevalent on the Fall 2012 Couture runways, demonstrating that the shaded look is still going strong. 


Here's how I worked the ombré details...





Ombré scarf, Esprit
Mesh shirt, ZARA
Shorts, Mossimo
Shoes, ZARA
Purse, Accessorize


The trend dominated Matthew Williamson and Prabal Gurung's collections back in February 2011, with the ombré fluffers making quite the statement:
Prabal Gurung, Matthew Williamson

Here is another favorite of mine, reminds me of a berry creamsicle!

Atelier Versace Spring/Summer 2011, Cake by Maggie Austin

But more recently, we saw the look on the Resort 2013 runways:
Missoni, Alberta Ferretti
And even more recently at the Fall 2012 Couture shows:
Chanel, Givenchy, Giorgio Armani Privé
Whether it's in hair, nails, or fashion, I think the ombré influence is here to stay, at least for a little bit longer.

Peplum Parade

Today as I headed out to run some adult errands, I wanted to look trendy but professional. I thought the red peplum tiered skirt, that's been getting no action, would be a good starting point. This is what I came up with... 







Skirt, H&M
Shirt, BikBok
Sunglasses, Emporio Armani

Golden Eye

Golden Eye


Aberjhani wrote "Dare to love yourself as if you were a rainbow with gold at both ends." It'll be easier to do that this fall with the reemergence of gold as a trend. Whether it's a subtle splash of gold in your make up, or a dramatic sequined dress, we can all glow in gold!
