Fall Trends and Celine

Spring 2013 Fashion Weeks are in full gear, but I wanted to take a moment and contemplate the Fall 2012 collections from back in February since we are now in Fall and I'm trying to assimilate the various high-fashion trends. (Check out my dress-over-pants attempts here and here.) One collection that really caught my eye was Celine.  A few seasons back Celine brought severe minimalism back on the scene and since then head designer Phoebe Philo has been tweaking that concept introducing new silhouettes and shapes.  Here are some of my favorite looks from the Fall 2012 showing:

 
For me this is all about shape and finding a balance between a slouching pant and a sleek top.
 

 
How badass is this?! Love the styling with the little Mod boots.

 
This makes me think I need to get a pair of crisp wool pink trousers. Also, I dig the pairing of wool with leather.
 
 
An orange/red cropped pant, you know I love it!  From this image I'm seeing how to transition my bright cropped trousers into fall with a statement coat.

 
Another statement coat, but for me its all about the color blocking in this look.
 
 
Of course I won't be going on a shopping spree at Celine for my fall wardrobe (I may hit up Tanger Outlets this weekend though...) However, I personally like to take inspiration from the high-end collections and build off of them.  What I'm taking away from this Celine collection is ideas about how to mix different shapes and colors. And of course how to wear my red cropped pants into fall.  What are your fall fashion inspirations?

40 Year Old Cottagecore

  dress-Anthropologie(more options here ), sunnies- DIFF Eyewear , necklace- Benevolence LA , bag-- Shiraleah , sandals- Born I first became aware of Cottagecore earlier this summer and found it to be an aesthetic I can appreciate and find aspirational , but was not necessarily a style that aligned with my wheelhouse. Well as I've been growing my hair during covid quarantine and having picked up this dress as seen here , I felt that I was ready to tackle #cottagecore here on my 40th birthday!!! Yep, that's right today I turn 40 (but I don't look it). And while it's been a year like no other, I feel excited for my next year, decade, chapter of my life. I think it's fair to say I'm done having babies and ready to move on from the chaos of very little children to the chaos of big kids.  I no longer feel like I have something to proof in my work, writing, sense of self. I'm just going to enjoy and be grateful for the many blessings of family, friends, health, a...

Gift Guide Part 3--Literature

So far I've covered beauty products and socks in this year's round of gift guides, which are prefect gift categories for the coming winter. To add to that list--reading! Here are a few books from my Books Worth Reading Pinterest board, first up--poetry! James Allen Hall's "I Liked You Better Before I Knew You So Well" from the CSU Poetry Center I LOVED Hall's 1st book   Now You're the Enemy , which won awards from the Texas Institute of Letters, the Lambda Literary Foundation, and the Fellowship of Southern Writers. So this is on my personal wish list to read here during the snowy days to come.  Anthology from Mason Jar Press "The Black Ladies Brunch Collective’s Poetry Anthology,  Not Without Our Laughter ,  is a collection of humorous and joyful poems, riffing on Langston Hughes’s novel  Not Without Laughter . It explores topics of family, work, love and sexuality. The women of BLBC believe, like Hughes, that even in these ...

Rent the Runway to the Rescue

So after the semi-disastrous dress vote from last week I took the stiletto by the heel, aka reserved this Slate & Willow dress from Rent the Runway  for the wedding in July.  Slate & Willow I had my eye on this as a possible outfit for the Tilda Swinton event I attended last month (fancy I know!) But, ended up going pretty casual since it was just a film screening. An AMAZING screening, but not a dressy affair nonetheless.  Anyway, this striped sheath has so many good reviews from a variety of fellow renters in all shapes and sizes, I didn't see one unflattering user pic, so I'm fairly confident this frock will serve my needs come July. And here are some pics of former rentals over the last few years: Nanette Lapore Elie Tahari Elie Tahari Robert Rodriguez Halston Heritage Interesting in renting something for yourself here this summer, use this link , to get $20 off your first rental. You're welcome!
