Zara Mens & Womens Fall 2013

This is pretty much going to be my wardrobe come fall. Leather pants, plaid shirts, wool wide brim fedoras, and long overcoats. C'est tres chic, no?

Theysken's Theory Resort 2014

Besides cult favorites like Alexander Wang, Phillip Lim, and Proenza Schouler, Olivier Theyskens can create an effortless collection that will surely create a frenzy among all the downtown chic, no fuss fashionistas. With a strict palette of white, black, and navy, the collection showcased a mix of classifications from wide leg pants, bandeaus, skirts, shorts, bombers, and plenty of dresses. The perfect collection for every simple, yet super rad (and fabulous) chic.

Stella McCartney Resort 2014

I loved the juxtaposition of patterns between the floral and reptile prints in Stella's Resort 2014 collection. While the color palette was very much feminine, I enjoyed how the collection was balanced with a touch of masculinity from her classic sharp suits to the oversized bombers. The dresses too, those were absolute beauties. Easy Breazzzy.

Catherine Martin and Miuccia Prada Dress Gatsby Exhibition

It's been awhile since I've been so excited about a film, but anything Baz Lurhmann and you've got me jumping up and down! I thought the Catherine Martin and Miuccia Prada Dress Gatsby Exhibition was a great way to gather buzz about it's upcoming release. The exhibit was well executed and a great way to inspire others of the roaring 20s. It's also been awhile since I loved the OST of a film, but with Jay Z behind the production, the results are incredible. Cannot stop playing, repeat is definitely on.

Aymeline Valade for Vogue Spain

With spring in full mode and summer quickly approaching, I'm still itching for a vacation. This editorial of Aymeline on the beach for Vogue Spain doesn't help my yearning for a beachy vacay, but I do love this spread. How amaze does she look in her flower crown decked in blue hued looks by Givenchy, Balmain, Hermes, and Jason Wu? Chic, sexy, and def beach appropriate.

"A Long-Board Story" Feat. Anne-Marie Van Dijk for Vogue Netherlands

Lately I've been doing a ton of research on bikes and skateboards, particularly long boards. It's been awhile since I tried to skate or even bike. Coming from UCSB where 90% of the students either biked, surfed, or skated, I've actually grown to miss being on a set of wheels. I can't wait for the summer, I'll definitely have invested in either a bike or a board. Oh, and I'll be chic doing whichever of course. MORE & MORE VANS! ;)

Street Style: Christine Centenera

Vogue Austrailia's Christine Centenera is probably one of the baddest bitches in the game right now (and for the past few years) when it comes to street style. While she's almost always dressed in black, she's got her swag behind her that makes her looks even that more bad. From Balenciaga, Chanel, Celine, Givenchy, and Balmain, this chic has it going all the time.

Paris Fashion Week Favs FW 2013: Part One

Givenchy // Ricardo Tisci is just one of those designers who's just oh so gangsta in what he does it's almost always flawless. Does he ever get it wrong? With his cult following behind him including Ciara, Kanye West, Liv Tyler, Jessica Chastain, and many more, the man behind the fashion house continues to make a strong statement with his FW 13 collection. With sweaters in various mediums from embellished, printed, to sheer, Tisci sent out an array styled with show stopping skirts that made each look more and more drool worthy. I thought the Bambi printed tops were absolutely delightful and a fun lighthearted twist to the dark colored palette of the collection. J'adore!



Viktor & Rolf // I never really saw a collection by V&R that I really liked, because I always thought they were avant garde in a more artistic way than it ever being beautiful in a wearable sense. Then they sent down their FW13 collection and I thought it was the perfect balance between their artistic aesthetic and wearability. While no one can ever go wrong with a black and white scheme, I thought their play on pleats, bows, leather, and prints were fresh, fun, and chic. What do you guys think?



Valentino // Absolutely beautiful. A collection that was purely and absolutely beautiful from start to end. Each ensemble was more elegant than the next, from reds to blues, nudes to blacks, the collection was minimally extravagant but extraordinarily luxurious. I thought the fine China print was a great touch to the collection. Kudos to Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pier Paolo Piccioli for a job well done!



Emilio Pucci // I may be biased because of my undying crush on Peter Dundas, but I did thoroughly enjoy his FW 13 collection that was just as sexy as his last. From the thigh boots to the bangin' mini dresses, I literally wanted to rock and roll, which essentially is the DNA for the Pucci woman. A collection for any woman with attitude for sure.



Lanvin // I will always be a huge fan of Alber and I'm pretty positive if I was a woman, I'd be dressing in Lanvin all the time just like my red carpet fav, Emma Stone. I love how simple his silhouettes can be yet how potentially dramatic it can also be given the amazing attention to detail, play on shapes and proportion, and let's not forget the statement jewels. This season, Alber played with tiered ruffles of chiffon, fur stoles, embellished and printed florals, and statement word necklaces for a little twist of fun. I thought the overall collection was fun, flirty, chic, and classic Lanvin.
