And, I even got to miss some of school (because he's a friend)! The collection was gorgeous, but when I logged onto style.com to look at the pics, I was really shocked. You cannot even imagine how much better the gowns are in person!! And, what I really love about this collection is that everything is so wearable, even though its couture! I also really liked the theme - it's called Frozen Spring. It combines the cuddly, cozy basics and layers of winter with spring florals, sparkles, and adorable cuts! And, the soundtrack of the show made everything even more enjoyable: it was a mix of eerie classical wintery-music, recordings of Audrey Hepbrun speaking, and some popular "hip hop" music. <br /><br />Also, Katherine McPhee (who is gorgeous in real life!), Anna Wintour (the editor of Vogue, of course!), Mark Morris, and lots of famous models (and ex models) were at the show!<br /><br />Here are some of my absolute favorite looks!<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjoy7jX2q9_GX8tsLsBOuCrbEEIhmRgmrD5IaAh5O7Ja-O_IGsvecJAzWfPTQL_NfiCUYEA2ZsZd-gHN930St-tfzcsc7Ec0lxYXHLVtdSTiz6WguQMzCLXt9eJ7kLtghX7iNqQ7Uy0us/s1600-h/00010m.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjoy7jX2q9_GX8tsLsBOuCrbEEIhmRgmrD5IaAh5O7Ja-O_IGsvecJAzWfPTQL_NfiCUYEA2ZsZd-gHN930St-tfzcsc7Ec0lxYXHLVtdSTiz6WguQMzCLXt9eJ7kLtghX7iNqQ7Uy0us/s320/00010m.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5032718019541321026" /></a><br /><br />This dress is simply elegant - I also love the furry booties to match the delicate black lace on a stark white dress. I've seen this model in so many upcoming shows, too...<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizO2Bkorbln0Vt9II13MtJ1fR_U21c3LWq1bhxn8xDWHv250pZuh3gbkTgM8vOpJC9H4gCUtGP4LxHGgExxKqEfh9OqCcsQzzR1hkkQT84zp8mGmuF8lFbfCCRD6dui21A6NGK5J-bmUo/s1600-h/00050m.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizO2Bkorbln0Vt9II13MtJ1fR_U21c3LWq1bhxn8xDWHv250pZuh3gbkTgM8vOpJC9H4gCUtGP4LxHGgExxKqEfh9OqCcsQzzR1hkkQT84zp8mGmuF8lFbfCCRD6dui21A6NGK5J-bmUo/s320/00050m.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5032718303009162578" /></a><br /><br />Not only do I adore this model, but the shrunken jacket with belt is absolutely genious. I also love the cut of the skirt and the wintery layers. I can so imagine wearing this to school in the fall!<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisyC-7emC3N9k9JO7sYst2rpnMh6dB2sNTDtGaxXwL47wnPjczlX50jMineva3lPn-yhY0PAiZGob32cp77yh11WRt27jl-i_QD7BbkIoouB6Y57BvL4GFjnqiNVj-FVpOuj8pUaaK7OY/s1600-h/00090m.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisyC-7emC3N9k9JO7sYst2rpnMh6dB2sNTDtGaxXwL47wnPjczlX50jMineva3lPn-yhY0PAiZGob32cp77yh11WRt27jl-i_QD7BbkIoouB6Y57BvL4GFjnqiNVj-FVpOuj8pUaaK7OY/s320/00090m.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5032718586477004130" /></a><br /><br />This picture does no justice whatsoever to the dress. In person, the cut was absolutely amazing, and the color - a creamsicle ish hue - was soo much more elegant, eye-popping and not as neon-light esque! I smiled when I saw this dress, because it reminded me of the Isaac Mizrahi we all grew to love in the '90s...bright colors (pink, purple, orange) in unexpected combos and gorgeous cuts!<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJZG7vaM0Ci-1DNAAqvaQrOQ7bXlmQs3DgT1QIBpZKgghUXMv_FRQpbGSTGScokvDZjkrMSzFTEQ8hD9y7ls8SZFRTwl2U-ZCu-rCzoAlmf7ymRbChfhF5JxHjCP1InFy2KLzgC4eEEPA/s1600-h/00120m.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJZG7vaM0Ci-1DNAAqvaQrOQ7bXlmQs3DgT1QIBpZKgghUXMv_FRQpbGSTGScokvDZjkrMSzFTEQ8hD9y7ls8SZFRTwl2U-ZCu-rCzoAlmf7ymRbChfhF5JxHjCP1InFy2KLzgC4eEEPA/s320/00120m.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5032719076103275890" /></a><br /><br />The beading on the sleeves are sooo gorgeous. Also, I really like the unexpected combo of jersey cloth and diamonds! So chic!<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmxbwjxOIraQhrgCwv1MhKZOTaoz-DWLwmIFuzpcWQopMFfDl5FnGSaOEOJiCQE-1C5PXxLLEN-J1lTC83hjTogA6pdKa72e45IXtrKlffGWcUeOIHDlDSZMijZSp437YM5KIRt5eTTHU/s1600-h/00140m.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmxbwjxOIraQhrgCwv1MhKZOTaoz-DWLwmIFuzpcWQopMFfDl5FnGSaOEOJiCQE-1C5PXxLLEN-J1lTC83hjTogA6pdKa72e45IXtrKlffGWcUeOIHDlDSZMijZSp437YM5KIRt5eTTHU/s320/00140m.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5032719325211379074" /></a><br /><br />This was my favorite look. As soon as I saw it, I gasped!! It is my style in one outfit - the Chloe-esque factor, chic belt, amazing cardigan, gorgeous floral skirt...sleek blonde hair.

I was holding my breath the whole time because the dress looked as if it was going to fall of the model any second!<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbKk9LWTyJFSgTc8ZlQb6pEWxufpJ0U-ky_SFekvy1BOb0hSPJe5y2WD0m3y1ZmnDh6V8alQZIrTjzeNcHybYyPBbkd3AzowKRRJAPxUHQmBLq8I9nRPeMBUBAz2xGV2Yxw2p3MQgQFx0/s1600-h/00190m.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbKk9LWTyJFSgTc8ZlQb6pEWxufpJ0U-ky_SFekvy1BOb0hSPJe5y2WD0m3y1ZmnDh6V8alQZIrTjzeNcHybYyPBbkd3AzowKRRJAPxUHQmBLq8I9nRPeMBUBAz2xGV2Yxw2p3MQgQFx0/s320/00190m.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5032719917916865954" /></a><br /><br />I love the idea of tough white cigarette jeans paired with a floral chiffon bright colored top.

I saw that I had mail from both Barney's and J. Crew, two of my favorite stores! Here are some amazing clothes that can be worn through rain or shine!<br /><br />This Proenza Schouler embroidered dress would look amazing with colored tights (winter's hottest trend) and pumps or bright colored tights and yes, <em>no tights</em>, but <em>bare legs</em> during spring and summer - an upcoming trend.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6NBIdbHaSYCVucs45tgpOvKjXz4t9pG9Qb2H8q12c8eXUTNMBKrpum_BuvcftA6DQdzcfTtCuuDZlvvS4QDhEx86dxEuvwQnEkQ_UyDd5BAD3PqnHBEXcfxbvjzT8ySdaw0u0r_rSNoQ/s1600-h/Proenza+SChouler+embroidered+dress.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6NBIdbHaSYCVucs45tgpOvKjXz4t9pG9Qb2H8q12c8eXUTNMBKrpum_BuvcftA6DQdzcfTtCuuDZlvvS4QDhEx86dxEuvwQnEkQ_UyDd5BAD3PqnHBEXcfxbvjzT8ySdaw0u0r_rSNoQ/s320/Proenza+SChouler+embroidered+dress.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5023752689509723346" /></a><br /><br />Upcoming fashion is to the extremes - either flats or sky high stilletos. Here are some adorable flats that are oh-so casual.<br /><br />I adore these bright pink Marc Jacobs ballet flats!

Crew has really been stepping up its game - adding all sorts of dresses and trendy items to their classic spin on clothing. I adore every single outfit from the new "J. Crew Look Book" online - you should definitely go to jcrew.com and check it out! The sequins on this cream dress make it look so expensive and with black wool tights and a cashmere wrap for winter with bare legs and flip flops for summer, what could go wrong?<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2Z86tVvsJPdq3pfzNG4MIMk1_PknfmEEDB20mBMM-iifIDHu5FbSy8vEzhDnLE60xI0S1T1OeBpgooiFjrSS3LUkqvQlxAgyR-ppPCMgeT5Ff63Pba2Ksl3gCmHBzFOM5Yd9OUdT_MW8/s1600-h/J.+Cew.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2Z86tVvsJPdq3pfzNG4MIMk1_PknfmEEDB20mBMM-iifIDHu5FbSy8vEzhDnLE60xI0S1T1OeBpgooiFjrSS3LUkqvQlxAgyR-ppPCMgeT5Ff63Pba2Ksl3gCmHBzFOM5Yd9OUdT_MW8/s320/J.+Cew.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5023753741776710914" /></a><br /><br />These two looks from Nanette Lepore are absolutely stunning - lady like and reserved yet outgoing with a party-girl flair.

I've just had so much work in school...<br /><br />The Golden Globes is my favorite award show ever because it includes all my favorite stars in one mix - music, TV, acting, etc. Also, I was shocked at all the people that ended up coming (except Jennifer Aniston! Probably because of Brad and Angelina...). Here are some of my favorite looks, but I would've loved to put every single gown in! <br /><br />Here's my absolute favorite look of the night - I almost gasped when I saw Reese Witherspoon - she is one of my favorite actresses and she always seems so adorable, friendly, and simplistic chic. This Nina Ricci dress just makes her glow. <br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrtMt7LySKj2yGMDJfsunf6TBzuLkpdMTInWLhBadIQAWyTztNMKyJNoxQVXlIur790kPckRII0B9kOiV-4L6FVsTdx7tz4QdsxIjD2H8QmW-pfbfn7PwmYakeaJI8G6sH8iFjEfjlWZg/s1600-h/REESE+WITHERSOOIN+IN+NINA+RICCI.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrtMt7LySKj2yGMDJfsunf6TBzuLkpdMTInWLhBadIQAWyTztNMKyJNoxQVXlIur790kPckRII0B9kOiV-4L6FVsTdx7tz4QdsxIjD2H8QmW-pfbfn7PwmYakeaJI8G6sH8iFjEfjlWZg/s320/REESE+WITHERSOOIN+IN+NINA+RICCI.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5020817111953248594" /></a><br /><br />I love Sienna Miller and I think that this Marchesa dress is fabulous, but the hair is overkill for me. Suttle beachy waves would've been gorgeous, but the Heidi braids are too cutesy, though, Sienna is always beautiful!<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVxxudBc3-oiiqY0ybcH3hCZ5JegLdpsbVJ9BBwnHZud1SD4i93Mk4q6SWfxY_3zRWqh4IWGUWGGIH5euOXeKT9RJ9dWacwUX8XuS2Doyv31ZzqGl4M_kNg4u3042all5yJ_hyphenhyphenADFGkq0/s1600-h/Sienna+Miller+in+Marchesa.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVxxudBc3-oiiqY0ybcH3hCZ5JegLdpsbVJ9BBwnHZud1SD4i93Mk4q6SWfxY_3zRWqh4IWGUWGGIH5euOXeKT9RJ9dWacwUX8XuS2Doyv31ZzqGl4M_kNg4u3042all5yJ_hyphenhyphenADFGkq0/s320/Sienna+Miller+in+Marchesa.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5020817455550632290" /></a><br /><br />I think Sarah Jessica Parker looks soo amazing in this nude/pinky dress. It really makes her glow and I think that it's just so flattering and simple, and the cut looks really fresh and modern.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpYHcccmPKPhwm4zMz_5LRsObNWjB1bHBNXqcGVlNoW5KBUg7IAfA1H0fRkdZwUQmPvfIYoVl68LqeMSFdud1c61KV76u88zZws75kjfRwVsMe7NdUUFbLYHOQLdTlfiLcDrTe9K_-yqM/s1600-h/SJP+L%27Wren+SCott.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpYHcccmPKPhwm4zMz_5LRsObNWjB1bHBNXqcGVlNoW5KBUg7IAfA1H0fRkdZwUQmPvfIYoVl68LqeMSFdud1c61KV76u88zZws75kjfRwVsMe7NdUUFbLYHOQLdTlfiLcDrTe9K_-yqM/s320/SJP+L%27Wren+SCott.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5020817781968146802" /></a><br /><br />Although most people think Cameron Diaz looks disgusting lately, I love her new brown hair (even though I miss her blonde days), and I think this Valentino dress, although not my favorite and something I'd never wear - just, well, works. She really pulled it off.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjahbCcs1e7h9XIiCADfy9zDZPGqg-5H_gxXavUZ6LOuZF8NtG-AW4bsiRyMvKZQkfEzpQDMXW6_AaiGQMsJhYl8yBGZdyg2qte_424FI8XUIeNQtf7ZRDGAucgGyeNt63rzzR4HFyyKa4/s1600-h/Cameron+Diaz+%3D+Valentina.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjahbCcs1e7h9XIiCADfy9zDZPGqg-5H_gxXavUZ6LOuZF8NtG-AW4bsiRyMvKZQkfEzpQDMXW6_AaiGQMsJhYl8yBGZdyg2qte_424FI8XUIeNQtf7ZRDGAucgGyeNt63rzzR4HFyyKa4/s320/Cameron+Diaz+%3D+Valentina.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5020818159925268866" /></a><br /><br />Penelope Cruz always looks absolutely stunning and this simple black dress shows off her curves in the best way possible.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-nKOANKIgXj-zqe2s0auu2S-ApEXygKi52Hb6X_V_oP0AbBRg_yNY7uGDQmRJDG3Z0LhDTI8-0b8tKfyYx3TnpzY_q1sApSOfeK2pWdwTWAd3fZgdO4H0y-W6LYxOUVRAU8QY0PBzkeY/s1600-h/Penelope+Cruz,+Chanel+Hature+Couturue.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-nKOANKIgXj-zqe2s0auu2S-ApEXygKi52Hb6X_V_oP0AbBRg_yNY7uGDQmRJDG3Z0LhDTI8-0b8tKfyYx3TnpzY_q1sApSOfeK2pWdwTWAd3fZgdO4H0y-W6LYxOUVRAU8QY0PBzkeY/s320/Penelope+Cruz,+Chanel+Hature+Couturue.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5020818524997489042" /></a><br /><br />Rachel Weisz looks radient in this red dress by Bill Blass - I love the little empire waist hanging detail, and the long floaty cut looks great on her!<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjg2EU7CyhfZZDNNvXiRp2PQmunIR2JB6GlFlDL1Q7koJQfldLUFOHwiaO-IcuP68X3aB426bK7X3j_TV-0A4A0D3PF1hccmu7BJGRH_M5V6Rnz07YoQ2XE0esgdq_7WShAkcTa9hf9gVA/s1600-h/Rachel+Weisz+Bill+Blass.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjg2EU7CyhfZZDNNvXiRp2PQmunIR2JB6GlFlDL1Q7koJQfldLUFOHwiaO-IcuP68X3aB426bK7X3j_TV-0A4A0D3PF1hccmu7BJGRH_M5V6Rnz07YoQ2XE0esgdq_7WShAkcTa9hf9gVA/s320/Rachel+Weisz+Bill+Blass.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5020818795580428706" /></a><br /><br />And Here's Some of My Not-So-Favorites:<br /><br />Angelina - I never thought I'd see you look not gorgeous. This dress really brings her down...although I adore the color grey, for the Globes it's just not acceptable - unless the fabric is loud or if it's shiny (silver). However, Brad looks adorable as always!<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyfWpxamXoVf2CqilJHpSYMqIRVmQRGwUFyYw-TtFfvElMre_m4rJzNgKXQgKCCZzPCA8Slu3rm8zLG3jICQ_7RKY4P16N0SNdtbkApLRIaUUVOINekxxibQcN1SzaRMtZImmiMVdgGGc/s1600-h/Angelina+Jole,+in+St.+John.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyfWpxamXoVf2CqilJHpSYMqIRVmQRGwUFyYw-TtFfvElMre_m4rJzNgKXQgKCCZzPCA8Slu3rm8zLG3jICQ_7RKY4P16N0SNdtbkApLRIaUUVOINekxxibQcN1SzaRMtZImmiMVdgGGc/s320/Angelina+Jole,+in+St.+John.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5020819250846962098" /></a><br /><br />Usually I adore Chloe Sevigny's artistic "no-no's", but by being boring and not taking a risk, she actually made herself look awful! I also really hate this patterend YSL vintage dress (even though I loveee YSL). <br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTlznPREf62jAsUGsWlpSyUxh3Vek47uf1WoHEuBJ2-k5KO3v8Q7JJvyGdZZT2HAQSQAU_jIuRmCCfYic-WWouHZ5Vv-52-Rr9HLdV0VCBENZgMbe3zR8y9QtXyeGYN2vV877GtSHgduk/s1600-h/chloe+sevingy+-+vintage+YSL.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTlznPREf62jAsUGsWlpSyUxh3Vek47uf1WoHEuBJ2-k5KO3v8Q7JJvyGdZZT2HAQSQAU_jIuRmCCfYic-WWouHZ5Vv-52-Rr9HLdV0VCBENZgMbe3zR8y9QtXyeGYN2vV877GtSHgduk/s320/chloe+sevingy+-+vintage+YSL.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5020819551494672834" /></a><br /><br />Go to style.com and check out these other fabulous dresses (Beyonce, Meryl Streep and her daughter, Helen Mirren)<br /><br />Stay Chic!<br /><br />Chic in the City <3Chic in the City <3http://www.blogger.com/profile/11982146284584717405noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8756465606159065476.post-29591032527304850642007-01-07T08:41:00.000-08:002007-01-07T09:36:30.291-08:00The Look for LessInspired by one of my favorite T.V. shows, "The Look for Less" (with Yoanna House), I decided to take some of my favorite designer looks and transform them into outfits you might even be able to pull off in public (whether that's for school, a party, or picking up your little sister from Girl Scouts'). However, when I went to ShopBop and saw all of the gorgeous cocktail dresses they had (check it out: <a href="http://www.shopbop.com/shop/product_browse.jsp?FOLDER%3C%3Efolder_id=2534374302024634">SHOPBOPCOCKTAILDRESSES</a>), I had to improvise.<br />Enjoy!<br /><br />I absolutely adore the brand DSquared2, it definitely reminds me of Betsey Johnson (with boy fashion designers). The designs are practical, adorable, fun, and colorful. This year, tho, DSquared2 toned their look down (just a tad)...but I ended up loving it even more!<br /><br />Two beyond fabulous DSquared2 looks:<br /><br />This one just screams out "I AM NAUTICAL CHIC!" to me. This look reminds me of why I take such care into putting together outfits (well, sometimes...), I really think that this is the epitomy of happy-go-lucky/modern girl chic.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOU6qKbqPiGy23o9dwIMMP1Bp05LL3twXbNUQtkkuv75J476qYOqYMuL5snlyn0LjuTNOXwi8OXKKaqkj21iue4hhg663Y8-BHLgonppzKWYUyCZf1DkAkTUTXv8yrXGPDOcRtXWLnC0c/s1600-h/dsqaured2.jpg2.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOU6qKbqPiGy23o9dwIMMP1Bp05LL3twXbNUQtkkuv75J476qYOqYMuL5snlyn0LjuTNOXwi8OXKKaqkj21iue4hhg663Y8-BHLgonppzKWYUyCZf1DkAkTUTXv8yrXGPDOcRtXWLnC0c/s320/dsqaured2.jpg2.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5017336607963757890" /></a><br /><br />This look is so flirty, fresh, and fun!<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZCRGAacrHfuzHOgASKddv6GklWmrsXZrFHMEQN6jgVlwCtGU8jrcrzmkC_DPrUExCGjctQJZC88Wz-uRqE52bz1Hry3hl3t9R0QeLI51qaf-Av9z1cOckLEeInShnQQVGjsq0iayldxw/s1600-h/dsqaured2.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZCRGAacrHfuzHOgASKddv6GklWmrsXZrFHMEQN6jgVlwCtGU8jrcrzmkC_DPrUExCGjctQJZC88Wz-uRqE52bz1Hry3hl3t9R0QeLI51qaf-Av9z1cOckLEeInShnQQVGjsq0iayldxw/s320/dsqaured2.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5017337037460487506" /></a><br /><br />To get the second DSquared2 look for a fraction of the price, buy these items:<br /><br />The white shorts are very essential to getting this look - they have the cut of a bermuda (straight), but are much shorter.

Usually I hate Claire's, but I found the perfect bracelets (they look so chic) and they're only $6.50! However, here are real gold bangles from ShopBop that, although at $185 are pretty cheap for gold. <br /><br />The gorgeous Claire's bracelets:<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjI-tbA3Yze2zFEBdwaDxk_faKgIurLKJjO8dBXSIGXrK_dBK6QXGN1rjnhRggTr1DH-DRatKbjPJ1cR4er2dohqqyQs9oAGvMZujFzMqrM-eij8v5NBzEgZMTd_VFlcdecIFVxioJ0s5c/s1600-h/gold+bangles+-+6.50.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjI-tbA3Yze2zFEBdwaDxk_faKgIurLKJjO8dBXSIGXrK_dBK6QXGN1rjnhRggTr1DH-DRatKbjPJ1cR4er2dohqqyQs9oAGvMZujFzMqrM-eij8v5NBzEgZMTd_VFlcdecIFVxioJ0s5c/s320/gold+bangles+-+6.50.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5017339945153346978" /></a><br /><br />and the ShopBop ones:<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivygYITSIB1Zn56tRKmSmettPrtKgemEdSzYn8atjsmMjg-sz5nKxNQrJJl6UETH6q-r-ozc8tkM4UYHcuPNNn3mwz2q9aXks6LkX9xGWzlyG3FH7Om2KjJXycelxjIwLgDNaRvxCFCFE/s1600-h/gold+bracelet2.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivygYITSIB1Zn56tRKmSmettPrtKgemEdSzYn8atjsmMjg-sz5nKxNQrJJl6UETH6q-r-ozc8tkM4UYHcuPNNn3mwz2q9aXks6LkX9xGWzlyG3FH7Om2KjJXycelxjIwLgDNaRvxCFCFE/s320/gold+bracelet2.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5017340353175240114" /></a><br /><br />Finally, the funky scarf to add more blue color to our white canvas.

So I figured, why not dedicate a post to makeovers? After the first week of school (or for us lucky ducks who still haven't gone back), it's nice to have a day of beauty to rejeuvenate ourselves for a new start. So, here's some tips for a truly relaxing, blissful, amazing beauty day!<br /><br />Get Started:<br /><br />Books are the #1 way to learning great beauty tips!! I couldn't figure out how to work my scanner (anyone know?), but here's some <em>fabulous </em>books that really help.<br /><br />This is <em>the </em>beauty bible.

Wrap up in a fluffy robe, put your hair back in a messy bun, and get ready to apply a facemask.<br /><br />In the book "Allure: Confessions of a Beauty Editor" here's the step-by-step facial 101:<br /><br />1, Apply Scrub: Pull hair back and off the face with a headband. Wash with your usual cleanser to remove dirt, oil, and makeup, rinsing the skin well and then lightly patting it dry. Drop four chamomile tea bags into a large saucepan of water, and while waiting for it to come to a boil, apply an exfoliating scrub with fruit enzymes like papaya.<br /><br />2, Steam Skin: Once the water is boiling, remove the pan from the heat. Hold your face more than one foot above it, close your eyes, and create a tent over our head with a towel. After three to five minutes, rinse off the exfoliant with warm (not hot) water, and gently blot the skin dry. Apply a face mask taht's suited to your complexion - one with hyaluronic acid or glycerin for dry skin, sulfur fora cne, clay for oily skin, and antidioxidents for normal or combination.<br /><br />3, Moisturize: Relax until the mask is ready to be removed (check the label for suggested time), then rinse it off thoroughly, and blot witha towel. While skin is still damp, rub on a thin layer of your everyday moisturizer - oil free for oily and combination skin, a richer formula for dry skin. If possible, wait six to eight hours to put on makeup.<br /><br />So, here are my favorite must-need ingredients for this procedure!<br /><br />As they said in the beginning, apply a fruity facial scrub. My favorite is Kiehl's Pineapple/Papaya Facial Scrub - it smells amazing and isn't too hard on your skin!<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAQKMpDHm4lNis6oso6gagd8ZQoDOTD5jQ9qP6F9kdQcIPM5b0kBd8OJyHrqrYmqDtiuD0fbggnZ3tvdk-oBCIGKzIVFxL4VJrvFnBYaF0Ng_oBQmg3VI8ZImDFtifzXunK5ig9CUSrR8/s1600-h/facial.bmp"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5016947702970072338" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAQKMpDHm4lNis6oso6gagd8ZQoDOTD5jQ9qP6F9kdQcIPM5b0kBd8OJyHrqrYmqDtiuD0fbggnZ3tvdk-oBCIGKzIVFxL4VJrvFnBYaF0Ng_oBQmg3VI8ZImDFtifzXunK5ig9CUSrR8/s320/facial.bmp" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Origins 10-Minute Face Mask works wonders because it gets rid of zits, and even moisturizes dry skin as well!<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0Zn3dUlihZhqmUXuQT9KrDIJHmNRFM7gyU0hoRPeeRXiSemGUBbRx3WwbqCBDkPx_n-feBHfK5EzTLG4SZ6lWjq36FWp3UpUuHukak5bJrRMrilAyieZQfUXiuz-Lg4gVNDHlEbc__ko/s1600-h/untitledout+of.bmp"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5016946895516220658" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0Zn3dUlihZhqmUXuQT9KrDIJHmNRFM7gyU0hoRPeeRXiSemGUBbRx3WwbqCBDkPx_n-feBHfK5EzTLG4SZ6lWjq36FWp3UpUuHukak5bJrRMrilAyieZQfUXiuz-Lg4gVNDHlEbc__ko/s320/untitledout+of.bmp" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><em></em><em></em><br /><br />Afterwards, apply Clinique's tonor, Clarifying Lotion 2.

My favorite is Aveeno Ultra-Calming Daily Moisturizer.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjv2HjOHZY5Q93PorWPao4z5Q8F7ZjLEv0SNdnqXFfCvXONERVrVQpBztYcGhibHE66FQAllEy0Y-ByNk_YVOHOvuvusdWFyC2W8BTP29MuwVmLNX1ltXE0QulI-P3kFqZvEanouWy9XYg/s1600-h/daily.gif"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5016948136761769250" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjv2HjOHZY5Q93PorWPao4z5Q8F7ZjLEv0SNdnqXFfCvXONERVrVQpBztYcGhibHE66FQAllEy0Y-ByNk_YVOHOvuvusdWFyC2W8BTP29MuwVmLNX1ltXE0QulI-P3kFqZvEanouWy9XYg/s320/daily.gif" border="0" /></a><br /><br />After I do all this, I usually go out to get my nails done (or just do them myself).

Their gowns are simply devine, colors are radient, and the cuts make stars look absolutely stunning. (Sienna Miller is a huge fan - so who's complaining?)<br /><br /><br />Although I wasn't allowed to save or copy/paste from the lovely Marchesa website, here's the link so you can discover some of their gorgeous creations. If you go under collections to the AW 06-07 Notte Part, the second dress (a deep purple silk) and the 4th dress (another purple but washed out) and the 7th dress (a short black flapper number) are definitely worth checking out.

Sienna Miller wore it as well (except, without pants!). It looked absolutely stunning on her - and she wore it with soft hair and makeup. That's why this dress is so versatile - it can go from straight off the "punk" runway to sexy and chic.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjD61de40i77RKOr_eKL0z_eepm9_ZBHxUnmUGqiNKokAdKTY4buFCZ6d6aeKCuL6p6cJ7dyboSEPTBmJHFDpvCpKY_ILYr1mBFx1I-2-7_vQ32d0Us5SuacXEeuYzPzSwIDu2cyUrRO-0/s1600-h/love.bmp"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjD61de40i77RKOr_eKL0z_eepm9_ZBHxUnmUGqiNKokAdKTY4buFCZ6d6aeKCuL6p6cJ7dyboSEPTBmJHFDpvCpKY_ILYr1mBFx1I-2-7_vQ32d0Us5SuacXEeuYzPzSwIDu2cyUrRO-0/s320/love.bmp" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5016212380284926834" /></a><br /><br />The minute Sienna came out with this dress on, it was a hit. It's so famous because the cut is great, the glitter is fab...it couldn't be any better. <br /><br />Isn't Marchesa just to die for? In a sea of runway looks that are just utterly hard to pull of Marchesa's lines of dresses always steal the show. <br /><br />Stay Chic!,<br /><br /><3 Chic in the CityChic in the City <3http://www.blogger.com/profile/11982146284584717405noreply@blogger.com12tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8756465606159065476.post-88261665395377187932007-01-01T15:25:00.000-08:002007-01-01T16:15:36.914-08:00Spanish Style - Do's and Dont's<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimMqCzmRBNrwtjnreDLj4vY998TU3Z1Zwb6rOgueRG4Msctj1bg1fNFgD3aWtYaL-DlE4rE5umsmDFAlMtRZobmmg5qLpQnx1K5UnhbG1sM4gUHAtGtB7c9cygYCfrKfEL60_VFFixl-s/s1600-h/ok.jpg"></a> I just got back after a long plane ride from Spain, and after collapsing into my cozy bed and pulling out my laptop and turning up my iPod speakers (Norah Jones, of course - I needed to set a relaxing mood), I decided that I was way over due a blog!<br /><br />So the beginning of my trip to Spain went as planned - rushed to the airport, bought the entire Magazine shop, stocked up on candy, and cuddled up with my cashmere sweater in my plane seat. Suddenly, I turned to the woman two seats down - she was covered in a humongous fur coat and a little fur hat - it was hysterical, and I had to take a picture of it for all of you! As I peered into my bag...my camera was not there!! I had forgotten it -- it devestated me. So here's some fashion do's and dont's that I witnessed firsthand in the marvelous, gorgeous, glamorous Spain! Enjoy!<br /><br /><strong><em>Do </em></strong>wear evening-wear during the day, as teenagers in Spain sported. Jewel Tones, gowns, silk gloves - anything goes. Make sure to grunge it up a bit by adding sneakers, headbands, sweatshirts, and the fabulous color grey. Some evening looks:<br /><br /><br /><p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6S2FbWnoRrlJJ_mAQqtX6nc5Q6EgK-xyNX3Iel9yfPU2WPwepyAsAf-5rcoQW92tGVZ-WFXpzDqNjrSz-iXjPa-k9ZTU-NrYOgtWZIeGA4Gh-OzECvg1Xp3h8YcE0ZonW1d2NFIWtkWg/s1600-h/evening+-+elle.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5015210493263788530" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6S2FbWnoRrlJJ_mAQqtX6nc5Q6EgK-xyNX3Iel9yfPU2WPwepyAsAf-5rcoQW92tGVZ-WFXpzDqNjrSz-iXjPa-k9ZTU-NrYOgtWZIeGA4Gh-OzECvg1Xp3h8YcE0ZonW1d2NFIWtkWg/s320/evening+-+elle.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br />What I loved about Spain was that no one seemed slighltly concerned with other's opinions - and that anything goes (for everything). I saw a girl strutting around town in a green-jewel-town evening gown with Converse hightops...and it reminded me of this spread in Spanish Elle.<br /></p><br /><p><em><strong>Do</strong> </em>step up your style with simple touches of grey - or a whole grey outfit (different shades of course). If there was one look that I had to say was most popular in Spain this would come second...literally every other girl I passed when I was shopping was completely layered out in GREY. </p><p> </p><p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-LurjOk5dnSOHOCaPac3cWwL4c7eW7NUYKbl4W19RePi6cEG9EqJuulpCkJlZPvMhD2Gnz9hwhCxrJ0tt_GrBrVH-BufJmlGRwETYipLTQwN7kqE0YQ-fFK_6saxQljSlDEG4Ildc6LQ/s1600-h/mango+grey.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5015211305012607506" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-LurjOk5dnSOHOCaPac3cWwL4c7eW7NUYKbl4W19RePi6cEG9EqJuulpCkJlZPvMhD2Gnz9hwhCxrJ0tt_GrBrVH-BufJmlGRwETYipLTQwN7kqE0YQ-fFK_6saxQljSlDEG4Ildc6LQ/s320/mango+grey.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br />This little cropped jacket is so cute - and versatile.

But they also had lots of layers - so it transformed the look to a bit edgy, incredibly cozy, and not slutty at all (though I'm a sucker for mini skirts).<br /><br /><strong><em>Don't </em></strong>ever think that it is okay to walk around town in an obvious wig (unless its neutral and matches your complexion and you need it). How bad could your current hair be that you have to cover it up with <em>plastic? </em>The most shocking thing about Spain was that every street - no matter if it was a Fancy High Street in front of Gucci and Agatha Ruiz de la Prada - I would see a person wearing a very obvious wig (rainbow, spiked, green, you get the idea...)<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMk2ytIkFegbUyKACgbBLxOxIISl5ZA7mAHY5ePnOplATPOUjCaGtBlF5_2vKo0h7OMX_GmkBBAxVL_AIBmYi0TWWRChYyxcmayRoHmjRc-kR8MWbV53tpWxbMKNgVzHAcRA-zLASKu8I/s1600-h/GROS.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5015213151848544818" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMk2ytIkFegbUyKACgbBLxOxIISl5ZA7mAHY5ePnOplATPOUjCaGtBlF5_2vKo0h7OMX_GmkBBAxVL_AIBmYi0TWWRChYyxcmayRoHmjRc-kR8MWbV53tpWxbMKNgVzHAcRA-zLASKu8I/s320/GROS.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><strong><em>Do </em></strong>wear different textured leggings - cut outs, wool, cheetah - under winter bermuda shorts.

I definitely recommend checking it out online - since I couldn't copy and paste or save the pics from the website. Their clothes are just so fabulous...and even though they have some in the States, it DOES NOT compete with Spain's version. Trust me. </p><p>The one thing that Spanish girls have that American girls <em>don't </em>is a huge amount of confidence. As corny as it sounds, tons of confidence automatically makes an outfit look glam and amazing. </p><p>Lastly, here are some amazing Spanish looks that I hope will inspire you:</p><p><br /><br />The Spanish adore short things - and sparkly outfits (on New Years the whole room was glittering - women wore so many sequins!)</p><p></p><p><br /></p><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLl3gQfjnUCzfr_OmhrN8QJwpnufiIR3iz_FYp9UF5TeWfKyLp2N4bUaulR2ERvjgm3x5-QwrF5vu-flmuJyR6a5Xm0h8VX2DcbUhMcPMYzYL_5rspuqguvrf2cejaw59nPQmo5KA1T0U/s1600-h/LOVE.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5015218731011062482" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLl3gQfjnUCzfr_OmhrN8QJwpnufiIR3iz_FYp9UF5TeWfKyLp2N4bUaulR2ERvjgm3x5-QwrF5vu-flmuJyR6a5Xm0h8VX2DcbUhMcPMYzYL_5rspuqguvrf2cejaw59nPQmo5KA1T0U/s320/LOVE.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br />And another adorable short dress for daytime from the Spanish store Mango:<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilDMS0ipbil1BvbT-aTdJT3JuMuDcXkEtV8NPj1OyzOAVsymKYj29bYmXcDRB3b2F508LKUYXnXWpwSiLY43uHNCktdhPAtGAuFlY6ltbEabRhytdGRMRgJJwVeXkxvsLyi71uFAKzovg/s1600-h/dress.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5015218971529231074" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilDMS0ipbil1BvbT-aTdJT3JuMuDcXkEtV8NPj1OyzOAVsymKYj29bYmXcDRB3b2F508LKUYXnXWpwSiLY43uHNCktdhPAtGAuFlY6ltbEabRhytdGRMRgJJwVeXkxvsLyi71uFAKzovg/s320/dress.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Here's a gorgeous photo at sea from a recent Spanish Elle photoshoot.

But before I go into full-throttle outfit mode, here is one fab beyond fab website to get you excited for vacation too (even if that means staying at home in your P.J.'s watching back-to-back episodes of Desperate Housewives, Style Network, and Emeril).<br /><br />Daily Candy. Where do I even begin? This is basically the most entertaining, helpful website <em>ever. </em>I don't know how I'd live without it. It has a London, LA, New York, Chicago, Seattle (the list goes on and on) edition - and it tells you A-List places to hang out (whatever your budget may be). It also has amazing info like fashion tips, new beauty meccas, and the scoop on your favorite bookstores, bus stops, body shops, etc. ! And, don't fret my dears, Daily Candy has a new "Travel Section" so even if you don't live in one of the prescribed regions ... you can search where you live in the Travel Section in their archives and it will still give you info!

Tonight I got a Juicy Couture Jacket, and some other little things (some stuff from Olive and Bette's and Agnes B).

That's why I'm going to do a post on Agnes B/French Iconic Fashion.<br />Everything at Agnes B is just so chic and french - so put together and simplistic. (Everything from Agnes B is made in France and can be purchased online or at select stores around the country). Here are some of my favorite finds:<br /><br />Doesn't this just <em>scream </em>french to you? It looks like one of those old sailor fishermen shirts but way cuter.

However, I've been searching for other alternatives for a long time and nothing could satisfy me.That's why, when I got this issue of Lucky Magazine I was overjoyed with their hugee article on online websites for shopping! Here are some of my favorites:<br /><br />at <a href="http://kateboutique.com"></a> Kate Boutique (kateboutique.com), there are soo many under-cover designers who haven't had their big break yet. And, there is everything from handbags to shoes to evening gowns to tanks and tees! I honestly can say that there wasn't one thing on this website that I didn't like. Here's some of my favorite picks.<br /><br />I love the new-take on a regular blue striped Oxford from Nili Lotan.

Although it was a little harder to find things, they have a ton of really cute stylish jackets and coats. It's definitely worth a look!

However, at a pricetag of $400, it looks like I'll have to ask my Mom for a pair...

I'm pretty sick of puff-coats (even though Gwenyth Paltrow can pull of a humongous black North Face with a tight cashmere dress and uggs - look for the issue of People's Style Watch), so why not try a cute coat? This bright blue hue is absolutely stunning:<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiye-0pUVf3aWQicavw8tZ5_kVUtz5IlJQX5dcE95kzkZqD9wRg23uxKXjVOHVQbuqzoql6nAj_vEG0mztwOjWRP3MsDJWxoHlVbD70tP1kFlMuamzObwD9cGi1pVFu1E8T8Llz_92Bzys/s1600-h/89+dollar+coat!.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiye-0pUVf3aWQicavw8tZ5_kVUtz5IlJQX5dcE95kzkZqD9wRg23uxKXjVOHVQbuqzoql6nAj_vEG0mztwOjWRP3MsDJWxoHlVbD70tP1kFlMuamzObwD9cGi1pVFu1E8T8Llz_92Bzys/s320/89+dollar+coat!.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5006357503270120594" /></a><br /><br />And don't worry, I haven't forgotten the lucky girls who live in warm climates!

They may seem unimportant, and sometimes we may secretly despise them, but they're the ones who get us to buy the clothes (well, the really exceptional clothes can stand out on their own). But c'mon, it's nice to see a gorgeous person wearing something that you in turn could own!<br /><br />Let's cross our fingers for Carrie-Dee!,<br /><br />Stay Chic!,<br /><br /><3 Chic in the CityChic in the City <3http://www.blogger.com/profile/11982146284584717405noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8756465606159065476.post-87827210016716696442006-12-03T10:50:00.000-08:002006-12-13T04:33:39.852-08:00Sweaters Galore!Gorgeous sweaters!<br /><br />Here's a cashmere Marc Jacobs sweater.

They have everything (swimwear, shoes, bags, belts, lingerie, jackets) - and in original, adorable cuts and patterns! TopShop even has a vintage section, which although is expensive, is completely worth it. There have been rumors of a TopShop opening in New York City (I was excited at first, then mad because I won't have original clothes from TopShop anymore). However, it still hasn't opened! As we're all waiting for TopShop's grand opening to the USA, here are some gorgeous things to ease the process:<br /><br />How adorable is this jacket? I love the sportiness to it. Super cute!<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOTaVlmUmqxHfiLVUfgbh02Fu65VSE_6c4l1rSgawtPZ1xULvBWXmh-9PFHEkLiZndZMl3_5ymBBhKpUvNUvwG59yJCRV5vV0Fcey0J0yq30mGccQxWj_Sda5qKYUk_CaAhQrKi1c67NE/s1600-h/bomber.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5004334098853087938" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOTaVlmUmqxHfiLVUfgbh02Fu65VSE_6c4l1rSgawtPZ1xULvBWXmh-9PFHEkLiZndZMl3_5ymBBhKpUvNUvwG59yJCRV5vV0Fcey0J0yq30mGccQxWj_Sda5qKYUk_CaAhQrKi1c67NE/s320/bomber.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br />I also adore this jacket. I love the bright, spontaneous color and the huge mod buttons. Well done, TopShop!<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiH1PjRCmv-EhfEQy4jOj-_PCG94BXN70FvMXRNjeLbQFk5XfeY8Lxqd37WshhMwnlfeKYfzeRZHE3muinzhfqSV-wOvdaXBAUIFcQdeJ4ASz3CsE1KqP-VwYLdKyXwG_28YAy-AgB9EAk/s1600-h/mod+coat.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5004334322191387346" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiH1PjRCmv-EhfEQy4jOj-_PCG94BXN70FvMXRNjeLbQFk5XfeY8Lxqd37WshhMwnlfeKYfzeRZHE3muinzhfqSV-wOvdaXBAUIFcQdeJ4ASz3CsE1KqP-VwYLdKyXwG_28YAy-AgB9EAk/s320/mod+coat.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br />This wrap dress is just a tad reminiscent to one of my favorites - cheetah print!

This year we're going to Spain (in the country side/in Barcelona) and I'm really excited because it's my first time! As I've been investigating what to wear, I've been thinking about all the other vacations my friends are going to: Aspen, London, and Bermuda. So this post I've decided to make an outfit for each place! Enjoy and wherever you go (even if that means just to your grandparent's house), stay chic and stylish!<br /><br /><br />To stay warm and cozy by the fire in Aspen wear:<br /><div>an adorable pair of Earnest Sewn jeans: </div><div><br /></div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5004095487649991346" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJIT5yqzYPDzXCHobph33WN3juQwdYvne_DXOlJx4KOhP9Lcrpd1gfsxuDkAWfYOXr3DHMVnHsQ84qJKbbf5Vwwpu9jXitSqJfmKTLMx0T2bq7NZ_Hzlm2wcoh3cc5wCHLQkhJAHkLnbo/s320/jeans+for+aspen.jpg" border="0" /><br /><div>which would like utterly fabulous tucked into a pair of uggs:<br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5004095242836855458" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnk8ugOKCI0s3xN5etTpND3FK8Yvn70Qi79eikE8am-dMAmzdroNSeyCv6Gg2QVDx1hNWCAAo6dkwEmGjOBltHJdvVWzzNqeMly_bZGvq9wIMyzKsRprgk_1GoOW8HFGICZUjzXzmQdN0/s320/boots+for+aspen.jpg" border="0" /><br /><br /></div><br /><div>and a soft, silky cashmere sweater to match?<br /></div><br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5004095028088490642" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMwb7cvRquXjQV0ZYXwiXiQplCDbMLENKqXAyddW9su7KOD5YedpCWPo_7Avk6JiQKIuTaHl0qn5LUV5sYFtoRdocKGfsog4fDY4DLOlI54J7bhqkQASfsjgB7TM5uwfiU2G6tsA8Fh48/s320/sweater+for+aspen.jpg" border="0" /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div>who wouldn't want a marc jacobs coat and a fabulous gold chain to top the whole outfit off? </div><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFBhXeMVgHWIbwg4LhELTCeUwJqj6M6vaUx9yDTsMjbd96t6mRzrWKXc29Uz5pigfNrUrqfoo86dZbA-r74S6_-cmBegN3GCQb3ztnuqR2-svvVZC9CB-mMkJ4DnRZoA_iFZskxM3l1OI/s1600-h/MY+JACKETTTT.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5004093718123465314" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFBhXeMVgHWIbwg4LhELTCeUwJqj6M6vaUx9yDTsMjbd96t6mRzrWKXc29Uz5pigfNrUrqfoo86dZbA-r74S6_-cmBegN3GCQb3ztnuqR2-svvVZC9CB-mMkJ4DnRZoA_iFZskxM3l1OI/s320/MY+JACKETTTT.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgU7siJZqGIIKaaW0_CrRUDDj0qIt9-US0T1TTqDDAnpFSuc8rrdu3TPoZTxY6onG0vGApwBwLX6iuGfUZPQ1DqY39SVRUhUvzLyzVj5_ZRTyGIl41TRylbEtsQVQFyfD2pShVHwyyyQEg/s1600-h/necklace+for+aspen.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5004094014476208770" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgU7siJZqGIIKaaW0_CrRUDDj0qIt9-US0T1TTqDDAnpFSuc8rrdu3TPoZTxY6onG0vGApwBwLX6iuGfUZPQ1DqY39SVRUhUvzLyzVj5_ZRTyGIl41TRylbEtsQVQFyfD2pShVHwyyyQEg/s320/necklace+for+aspen.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /></div><br /><br /><br /><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />And for a hot, relaxing stay at a resort in Bermuda why not wear:</div><br /><br /><br /><div>a cute cover-up!: And, why not go bare foot?

Hopefully these outfits will help you <em>and </em>me put ourselves together just a little bit faster!<br /><br />Here's an outfit on the fancier side:<br /><br />I adore Nanette Lepore and although this shirt at $265 is pricy, the silver flower makes it oh so worth it.<br /><br /><br />(nanettelepore.com)<br /><br /><br /><br /><p><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5003941989813799330" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1ZRrwDobDllo69bq4IKzwwEReWtxnxaavriDh6ATOutyjEzm2nxwqTrsuImTwqzz-cySnJW_K6O2HiV5NzAaVDnkNxPMrfzYt-XGeTg1ZnsyVKdAF6SmfeFkL_GHLL1zOqbbJH5tipPA/s320/nanette!.jpg" border="0" /><br /><br />Black skinny jeans from Paige (my absolute favorite brand) makes the outfit amazingly stylish.<br /><br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5003941650511382930" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJDrgkUzSLpI73ZerninieG1YZmFXtXlVjKSgvn77P1A5k-9xEGBgk2BEHzWU-hUXCWMGAtnboMFKNm0gdJYZ1HZgvk1St_yfVU3JykjCyNJH4jP6fSoIRysGq7d9Qk9JXsUeIwyRV-N0/s320/paige!.jpg" border="0" /><br /><br /><br />And who couldn’t resist black suede pumps and an adorable red patent-leather clutch?

Love the braiding - so cute!<br /><a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger2/388/1068904492939339/1600/cuteness.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger2/388/1068904492939339/320/cuteness.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br />(shopbop.com)<br /><br />Although I'm not a huge Juicy Couture fan, their stuff has been amazingly chic, up-to-date, and oh-so-cute, that sadly enough, I can't resist myself!<br /><br />This dress is a little grown-up, but I love the whole baby-doll look. I'm sure there's a fancy bar-mitzvah I can wear this to!<br /><br /><a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger2/388/1068904492939339/1600/juicy.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger2/388/1068904492939339/320/juicy.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br />(neimanmarcus.com)<br /><br />This is also such a cute cropped jacket that can be worn alone (with layers underneath), or under a jacket (it's not puffy). Also, I love how Juicy incorporated one of winter's biggest trends - chic plaid! <br /><br /><a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger2/388/1068904492939339/1600/neimanmarcus.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger2/388/1068904492939339/320/neimanmarcus.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br />(neimanmarcus.com)<br /><br />And, who could have a holiday wishlist WITHOUT makeup? Not me, of course! The first is Rosebud Salve -- one of the best inventions ever! I use it on my cheeks, lips, and even eyelashes! And, they just came out with a mint version, even though I'm not a mint kind of girl, I love to experiment! There is also a Nars "orgasm" kit which is just sooo cute. Adorable for everyone<br />(both from sephora.com)<br /><br /><a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger2/388/1068904492939339/1600/WOW.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger2/388/1068904492939339/320/WOW.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger2/388/1068904492939339/1600/wowowo.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger2/388/1068904492939339/320/wowowo.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br />xoxox,<br /><br />Chic in the City<br /><br />P.S.

Not only are they oh-so soft and comfy, but they are incredibly chic and french-like. <br /><br />This Vince sweater dress, although expensive, is soo worth it. <br /><br /><a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger2/388/1068904492939339/1600/659276/sweater%20dress.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger2/388/1068904492939339/320/723897/sweater%20dress.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br />Although this next dress isn't quite a sweater, I couldn't resist. I definitely would add a big belt to it - probably something suede and maybe red or purple?<br /><a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger2/388/1068904492939339/1600/565915/sweater2.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger2/388/1068904492939339/320/926183/sweater2.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br />Also, I'm not that much of a fan of "booties". Why not go with some wedge boots? I have a gorgeous pair of Michael Kors black suede lace wedges that would go perfectly with this dress!<br /><br /><br />Ever since Diane von Furstenberg (is that how you spell it?), and Donna Karan came out with simple, beautiful wrap dresses, they've been all over the market. Fortunately for us, they're now affordable! I just love this color too...<br /><br /><a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger2/388/1068904492939339/1600/84230/candcsweater.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger2/388/1068904492939339/320/831606/candcsweater.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br />Who can't resist a wearing a dress without BALLET FLATS (the ultimate accessory!!)? <br />London Sole continues to make timeless, adorable pairs:<br /><br /><a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger2/388/1068904492939339/1600/688957/ballet.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger2/388/1068904492939339/320/3125/ballet.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br />J. Crew also makes SUCH cute ballet flats. I lovee the brown suede ones (so chic!), but they're a little conservative...some fun crazy pairs are the bronze (so in) ballet lace-up flats! so cute!<br /><br />from jcrew.com =<br /><br /><a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger2/388/1068904492939339/1600/846382/jcrew.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger2/388/1068904492939339/320/240503/jcrew.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger2/388/1068904492939339/1600/579401/jcrew1.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger2/388/1068904492939339/320/671729/jcrew1.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br />And just remember girls, avoid sweaters that just go to your waist (and leggings), no one wants to see your butt! <br />Stay Chic,<br /><br /><3 Chic in the CityChic in the City <3http://www.blogger.com/profile/11982146284584717405noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8756465606159065476.post-78025613024903887942006-11-26T13:42:00.000-08:002006-11-26T14:04:55.708-08:00Winter Looks<span style="font-size:85%;">Every winter new looks are established and runway is transformed into REAL WAY (thank goodness). Here are some of my favorite winter looks:</span><br /><br /><div><div><div><div><span style="font-size:85%;">Along with every winter, comes the oh-so-understated look of preppy-ness. Although I'm not a huge "prep" fan (actually, not in the slightest bit), I think Michael Kors comes up with a unique approach to the classic school girl look. </span></div><br /><br /><div><span style="font-size:85%;">I absolutely adore the contrast of black and navy blue (although most say it clashes, I think it's divine). And, I think that the bright yellow and black tights with high heel loafers look amazing. Also, thanks for including a toggle/pea-coat, Mr. Kors!

Chloe also incorporates my favorite hue of the season - GREY!! Chloe does it again, folks (no surprise there)!</span></div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div></div><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger2/388/1068904492939339/200/568055/chloe.jpg" border="0" /><br /><div><span style="font-size:78%;">picture taken from <a href="http://www.chloe.com/version_en/wr_06-07/index.html">http://www.chloe.com/version_en/wr_06-07/index.html</a>#</span></div></div><br /><br /><p><span style="font-size:85%;">My last look is from Proenza Schouler. Her looks are divinely casual, street-chic, and toughened-up. What makes this outfit work is the amazing black skinny jeans (LOVE!!), the smooth, chocolate brown leather coat, and the ballet flats. The jacket is amazing because it combines classic elegance to a rough coat by having a high-necked jacket. Bravo!</span></p><br /><a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger2/388/1068904492939339/1600/240526/PROENZA%20DOES%20IT%20AGAIN.jpg"><img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger2/388/1068904492939339/200/770232/PROENZA%20DOES%20IT%20AGAIN.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><p></p><br /><br /><br /><div><br /></div><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://www.proenzaschouler.com/PSF06/source/pro_schou089.html">http://www.proenzaschouler.com/PSF06/source/pro_schou089.html</a> <div></div></div></div>Chic in the City <3http://www.blogger.com/profile/11982146284584717405noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8756465606159065476.post-23265835980535527772006-11-26T12:53:00.000-08:002006-11-26T13:04:44.329-08:00Chic in the City is BORN!<span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:85%;">At last my own fashion blog ...<br /><br />Let me ask you: If you lived in a city that eats, drinks, and sleeps in FASHION then why not take advantage of it? </span><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:85%;"><br />You'd be out of your mind if you didn't!<br /><br />This blog will be full of trends I'm noticing, clothes I adore, stylish icons, all inspired by my home, The Big Apple.<br /><br />So, why not take advantage of <em>that? </em><br /></span><br /><3, Chic in the CityChic in the City <3http://www.blogger.com/profile/11982146284584717405noreply@blogger.com1
