Straight Off The Runway - Vivienne Tam

Tuesday, November 08, 2011

Vivienne Tam’s Fall 2011 collection, inspired by Chinese opera is a beautiful collection. It works so well because the details are subtly inspired by the ancient Kun Opera –

This crocheted tunic looks just as beautiful in person as it does on the runway. Exquisitely crocheted out of cotton & lightly embellished, it’s a stunning addition to any wardrobe.


Packing The Perfect Bag

Tuesday, November 08, 2011

Everyone loves to travel – yet dreads packing. The task always seems overwhelming … “Am I packing too much?” “What if it’s colder than I expect?” “Am I packing too little?!?!”

The best practice when packing is investing in quality pieces, and utilizing your wardrobe to the fullest. We’re going to show you how packing 4 key pieces &  2 pairs of shoes will allow you to have a full variety of choices when you’re traveling this Fall!

It’s removable sleeves will allow you to wear it as a vest as well adding an extra element to your wardrobe without packing an extra piece!

Throw on a skinny belt, Anyi Lu Frankee booties (perfect for walking!), & your new Duarte blazer you will look impeccable, but comfortable for walking around town, checking out the sights! Because of it’s simplicity, this sheath dress is also a great way to showcase the many ways to wear your Philip Lim jacket/vest.

Haute Hippie tobacco shirt dress. Fun & flirty for drinks out when worn on its own with great accesorries & your DVF Zia heels. A classic statement when paired with your Duarte blazer, Anyi Lu booties, & pearls.
