pleated skirts

Pleated skirts are everywhere—but not in a bad, make-it-stop way. On the contrary, they're a basic staple that can be dressed up, dressed down, and are super season-friendly. With endless styling options, you can pair a pleated skirt from sandals to booties. These versatile skirts can also spruce up a day-time look for work, (as I have at Who What Wear— check it !) and even be worn after-hours. If you're heading for drinks or a party straight from work/school, sometimes the last thing you want is to wear heels. Hence, the maxi-pleated skirt is there to hide those flats, dear readers.  #sneaky #voila

Happy pleating ! xo

I set my eye on the Zara or Charles David heels, since Miu Miu and Versus are a tad over my budget. womp

what's your favorite?

Clare Vivier clutches

While flipping through Nylon Magazine's latest issue, a picture of a clutch caught my attention. It was love at first sight. Combining the characteristics of a must-have clutch -- utility, trendy yet timeless -- Clare Vivier is a chicer alternative to American Apparel's pouches. There are so many colors to choose from, but I personally prefer "La Pouchette" seen above. 

Which ones do you covet the most? xo

fruits, monkeys, & bright stripes

Not quite over Prada's bright banana prints, neon stripes, and Stella McCartney's fruitful prints! The banana graphics remind me of Andy Warhol's work, and the loud monkey and and South-American inspired prints make me want to travel. What do you guys think?

Red Velvet

Fall runways are splashed with the soft & rich velvet fabric, which is sure to be one of the upcoming big trends.  I have already been spotting velvet curve-hugging dresses; what do you guys think of this trend?
