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...

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.

Annie Lennox Realness!

Love the tuxedo detail of these cropped pants. coat/pants-Jcrew(similar here and here ), blazer-Zara(similar here ), shirt-Asos(sort of similar here ), shoes-DSW(really cool here ), gloves-Brian Atwood for Neiman Marcus/Target(more gloves here ), sunglasses-Banana Republic(similar here ) I'm feeling very Annie Lennox circa Eurythmics in this outfit, eh? Most times wearing a coat is a necessity, not necessarily an intricate part of the outfit, but here it really makes the look. And even though the blazer is covered up the hints of it, almost like a lining, work break up an all grey/white look.  And now for your viewing pleasure  Sweet Dreams:   Have a great weekend!
