MBFW Jill Stuart Fall 2013 Collection

At this point, we all know that Mercedes – Benz Fashion Week Fall 2013 Collections is currently in full swing.  But for those of us that aren’t in New York, we still have the opportunity to catch a few shows!

Take a look at Jill Stuart Fall 2013 Collection; this collection has a mixture of prints, textures, and lengths.  And what I like about this show, is the use of quality fabrics and well made garments.

The designer also shows us many stylish ways to wear the color “black.”  From flared skirts to key hole bodice, this collection is the definition of the word couture!

Fashionable Wardrobe Options by Contributing Writer Kaki Read from Warby Parker Eyewear

With any wardrobe, it’s important to have versatility and options with your style so you can leave room for what mood you’ll be in when you dress for a certain occasion. Try to take chances, but still stay within the trends and fit the look to your personality. You can still have pieces that fit who you are, while still keeping it with what’s in season. As always, a pair of glasses can really pull a look together and add some flair to your outfit.

Whether you’re going shopping, you have a day Meeting, or you’re planning on attending a bridal shower, you can learn three staple outfits to wear to each of these occasions while looking polished and feminine.

Wearing a lovely floral skirt with a fitting blazer is ideal whether you’re out shopping at nearby boutiques or you have an important presentation to give at your meeting. For the skirt, choose a pastel print that is large and trendy. Pairing it with a blazer will make it look modern and professional. You can match a light blouse underneath that complements the colors. Give the outfit a little edge with some gray booties that are up to your ankles or a little higher. This will make you look like a feminine city girl, and also works well if you attend a bridal shower. Remember to accessorize it with a pair of Webb frames in whiskey tortoise, and even a chunky necklace if you like. 

Flared pants are a great item to wear on the street or in the office. They continue to sell throughout the decades, and are back this year. Choose a dark denim and pair with a cream top and burgundy vintage blazer. Always wear chunky heels with the flared pants so they don’t drag. If you’re going for white flared jeans, try a denim shirt and dress it up with plenty of gold bangles and bracelets, and a few delicate necklaces. Add a pair of Paley sunglasses in revolver black, and this look just became comfortable and timeless.

Another great look for a bridal shower, meeting, or shopping includes a high wasted black skirt (try Rachel Zoe) with gray flats or pumps, a striped tee, and a striped jacket to rest on your shoulders. The look has casual pieces, but is lovely and quite versatile. It works well for warmer weather, and slightly nods to Audrey Hepburn’s classic taste.

Not only can you wear each of these outfits to different places, but each clothing piece is something you can continuously wear throughout the seasons and carry into the coming years.

Kerry Washington at The NAACP Image Awards 2013

Kerry Washington looks absolutely beautiful at The NAACP Image Awards 2013.  Of course I love the color of the dress (due to my beloved sorority.)

But most importantly, this dress is timeless and the lace design is elegant.  Kerry Washington’s make up is very simple with basic contouring, eyelashes, and a soft (neutral) shade of pink.

In our opinion, Ms. Washington “got it” just right for this evenings affair!  Check out images from the website, Just Jared.com

 



 

Celebrity Manicures at The Sag Awards 2013

Celebrities looked stunning at The Sag Awards 2013 but what about their manicures?  As a “normal” fashionista, it’s always interesting to see what beauty tricks celebrities are wearing because they work with the best hairstylist, manicurist, and make up artist.  Ultimately, celebs start and set the trends!

And it looks like (from the photos below) we aren’t the only ones that love nail designs and eclectic colors.  Take a look at celebrity manicures from The Sag Awards 2013.

Inauguration Fashion: Michelle Obama Wears Jason Wu

Jason Wu has done it again by designing a ravishing, red gown for Michelle Obama!  The fabric used for this gown is velvet and chiffon, where the first lady’s dress has a halter top, fitted waist, and flowing skirt.

To pull this look together, she’s also wearing a pair of red pumps from the shoe designer Jimmy Choo.  It is safe to say that Jason Wu has the right touch when dressing the first lady and it’s shown by his design tonight!
