NYC Fashion Week Spring 2011: Yigal Azrouel

I knew I had to peruse through Yigal Azrouel's Spring 2011 line--and true to form, there were some geometric pieces mixed with structural ones. Sheer fabrics were utilized with a color palette of white and melon; and Azrouel included an array of looks--ranging from pants and shorts, to skirts and dresses. So versatile! Makes me think back on when I met him almost a year ago...read about it here!

OPI versus Sally Hansen

I'm kind of over the black nailpolish thing--not because it looks bad, but it's a little bit harsh don't you think? I've opted for a perfect blend of gray and taupe (perfect for Fall) and found two great nailpolishes: OPI's "You Don't Know Jacques!" and Sally Hansen's "Commander in Chic." I use both and they are a great alternative to extreme black.

Sidenote...

Happy Labor Day!

Sunkist

 Cardigan: J.Crew

Tank/Skirt/Belt: Forever 21

Shoes: Madden Girl

Watch: Marc by Marc Jacobs

I don't know why I don't wear my favorite J.Crew cardigan more often. I love the scalloped detailing, the bright color, and the soft light merino wool. Paired it with a chambray skirt, the usual heels and I was ready to go out for the day. Although I must say, as comfortable as those shoes are, walking the steep hills of San Francisco can be a bit of a challenge, but at least I got to work out my legs?

Gray + Pink

Top: Forever 21

Jeans: Levi's

Shoes: Elizabeth and James

Watch: Marc by Marc Jacobs

Purse: Louis Vuitton

Again with the gray and black, but decided to add that little pop of color with this braided pink belt found in the Levi's sample closet! Instead of tucking the shirt all the way in, I am kind of into messily tucking it in the front, and leaving the back untouched. Happy Friday!

Floral Fantasy

Contrary to belief, I am a romantic at heart--I love the flowers, candles, chocolates, the whole shebang--what girl doesn't? I especially love fresh flowers and I currently have beautiful sunflowers adorning my kitchen table, which has ultimately inspired me to create a mini trend board of floral dresses. Something about it just makes me want to lay in the shade along the banks of a river and read a good book. So cheesy and cliche, I know, but can't you just picture it?
