I was in a colorful mood the other day and thought I'd try something a little different. The dress I'm wearing here is a vintage '80s inspired piece from our collection coming out soon. It has antique Kashmiri embroidery in pink, gold and silver along the front collar. I just love these touches of color, they make a piece truly unique! On top, I added a tie-dye scarf (another one from our collection) to bring even more brightness to the outfit. And I finished off the look with gold accents (shoes, jewelry, watch) to really add that '80s factor.

Being married to an avid football fan, it would only be natural to have the next post at a soccer game. With the European leagues' seasons all having started recently, this is the only way to get my husband's attention! Just kidding :)

These shots were taken before a DC United game here in the District this weekend. Games can get surprisingly chilly this time of year, so it was important to dress in layers (i.e., jacket + scarf). I dressed according to my own interpretation of what WAG style would be (that's Wives and Girlfriends of footballers, the most famous of course being Victoria Beckham, a.k.a. Posh Spice). Slightly trendy, but most importantly casual - you're at a soccer game, after all! So think t-shirts and leather jackets. You want to be comfortable and have fun!

With fall right around the corner, nothing sounds cozier than lounging in front of a warm fireplace on a chilly night.

Check out some of these fine examples of great fireplace decor to find your own inspiration:
I loved the silver and mirrored accents in this eclectic-chic fireplace setting. The lime green and turquoise added great touches of color to make the space truly unique.

White minimalism was the theme for this ultramodern chic fireplace. The result is a clean space with strong lines.
This space is most influenced by the baroque-inspired painting above the mantle. Carrying the blue from the painting to the throw pillows on the couch unifies the whole room.
The contrast of the magenta pillows on the yellow and white striped chairs anchoring this fireplace creates a warm, cozy feeling in this room.
This fireplace may be my favorite because of the glossy black bookcases and rich, magenta couches. I can't think of a more perfect place to curl up with your favorite book than a rich, warm fireplace and this room provides the perfect space to do just that.

This fireplace is a perfect example of eclectic style: Moroccan side table next to modern mid-century chair, teal pouf and mix of glass hexagonal tables in the center.  If that wasn't enough, top it all off with unique touches like an Eva Peron painting above the mantle and a crystal sailboat chandelier.

What's your favorite fireplace decor?

I just loved the wild aztec print on these skinny jeans when I saw them. With a bold black-and-white print, it's best to pair something light and bright like this lemon T from Zara. Speaking of Zara, this bag has been a great buy, too - it's a great new portfolio style and fits my laptop and tablet perfectly. Best of all, I never have to dig around in it to look for my stuff! What more could you ask from a bag?

Designers are always looking for new sources of fashion inspiration. Recently, India - with its traditional, intricate embellishment work and luxurious silk fabrics - has been a popular inspiration source. Fashion houses including Giorgio Armani and of course Chanel, whose Resort 2012 collection was a nod to imperial Bombay (you can refresh your memory of that glorious season by clicking here), have paid homage to classic Indian styles in recent shows.

Marchesa is the latest designer to incorporate traditional Indian styles into its designs. The design duo is a regular on the red carpet and deserves credit for these famous fashion moments:

Blake Lively, Jennifer Lopez, and Sienna Miller all in Marchesa.

Marchesa's S/S 2013 collection debuted in New York last week. The set included empire-waist maharani dresses, asymmetric dresses with heavily-embellished borders and a twist on the traditional Indian sari with draped layers of tulle.

The S/S 2013 season included gorgeous embellished cropped tops and full skirts, resembling ensembles from famous Indian designers Manish Malhotra and Shantanu & Nikhil's previous collections.


Marchesa's collection included updated versions of the traditional Indian lehenga choli: transparent tulle skirts with lace and benares-material shorts underneath, and embellished and peplum blouses on top. Even if it's not something you think you could wear, it's good to try new things! Not to mention, it's interesting to see how a designer translates a familiar style into a completely different design using their own aesthetic.

What makes this picture so great? The flourish of kelly green back from a long hiatus, wild patterns printed on top, statement collar necklaces, and of course, the high-waisted cut-off jean shorts we haven't seen since the early '90s. I never knew I would miss thee!


I'm totally loving these tiny bejeweled box chain purses.

Stay tuned for more streetstyle pics from NYFW coming soon! xo

I loooved this look on Diane Kruger: simple, feminine denim Chanel dress in powder blue accessorized with a black beret, black flats, and offset with perfect cherry-red lips and nails. She kept it simple with an elegant watch and silver clutch and let the unique ensemble do all the talking.
