SIMPLISTIC INSPIRATION

I don't even know where to begin...

The styling is absolutely impeccable. Channeling Katherine Hepburn with shades of grey,  and if you know me you'll know that I do love my neutral colors. When the words: oversized, layered, minimal, and chic describe ANYTHING, you know it's going to be perfection. There's all the right things happening in this editorial shot by Benny Horne for Vogue Ukraine January 2014 issue. The layering of oversized coats and understated accessories create a powerful statement. The "less is more" statement. 

I've been over due on owning the perfect oversized coat (in every shade of the neutral spectrum), and this just put me back in check to go on "THE hunt" for one as soon as possible. And by one I mean one in every color on that marvelous spectrum.

Model, Sam Laskey hits the streets in simplistic designs and comfy sneakers. It's a total surprise on your feet, an unexpected twist if you will. The minimal sophistication throughout the look is one of falls biggest trends while rocking a more wild and comfortable get up on your feet. From leopard print, metallic, high-tops, to running kicks it's all there and all different. The question is how will YOU style your sneakers?

POWER DRESSING

 

Stylist Magazine: "Power Dressing"

Photographs taken by Zoltan Tombor

Back in winter of 2012, photographer Zoltan Tombor shot photos of the gorgeous Maud Le Fort during Paris Fashion Week. Tombor captured a fashion story inspired by street style looks for their editorial spread. 

Even though this spread is from last year, I decided to bring it back to inspire us for fall/winter. It's right around the corner and I realize that it's still summer and it's still blistering hot outside, but it's better to start early and be prepared. Great prints and vibrant colors embodies a fantastic way to create a twist for the upcoming season. This is a great inspiration for your next shopping trip! 

HARPER'S BAZAAR SEPTEMBER 2013 - SARAH JESSICA PARKER

Harper's Bazaar US September 2013

Ph: Harper's Bazaar

Sarah Jessica Parker in the latest issue of Harper's Bazaar (out on stands August 15) looks ravishing in Chanel, Gucci & Oscar de la Renta. It's apparent that she looks fabulous and the couture gowns look impeccable, it's very JP/Carrie Bradshaw. 

At the Met Gala 2013, JP rocked a statement headpiece that definitely got everyone buzzing & here she's sporting an Ellen Christine Couture headpiece that reminds me of the sophisticated ladies back in the 1800s. Wearing a full length dress with corsets and a fabulous hat to top off an amazing look (for that time). Even though it's not practical for real life, it does make a fabulous photo. Knowing JP, I'm sure she'll spot another statement headpiece sometime soon.
