Black December Lace

Black lace is one of those items you can never have too much of - its always makes you look and feel feminine, chic, and fashionable. Its also surprisingly easy to wear- because of its inherit ornateness it requires minimal accessories and is therefore much less effort than any other LBD.

I love how lace pieces allow you to create a certain mood- retro, glamorous, Italian bombshell, ultra feminine, whatever. Even your choice in hairstyle can change the whole mood of the dress: voluminous layers, soft old hollywood waves, a faux bob, or even a Dolce Gabbana-style french twist with whispy strands near your face. 
Most of all, lace makes you feel like a woman- its delicate but very alluring and pretty much makes you feel like the best version of you. :)

Styling Neutrals: November Favorites

Its November and instead of my favorite color being sparkle for all holidays coming up its actually nudes, putty, and camel. All these neutrals can be worn in such a variety of chic ways you really can't lose. From sweaters to layers to solid silk cocktail dresses, you can never go wrong. You can pair neutrals with black (ala Blumarine Fall runway)  or add a pop of red or berry with a gorgeous fall lip or accessory. Here are my favorites.

Blumarine Fall 2011 RTW Runway

For me, Blumarine's fall RTW collection is probably the most wearable line of the season- layers of black and nude are the kind of universal chic that's appreciated wherever you go.    
I adore layering neutrals upon neutrals and love to complete the look with a unique earring or delicate gold necklace as gold compliments camel and tan like no other.  
If you ever find yourself feeling a little dull in neutrals -try adding small pops of color like an incredible burgundy lip or accessory - any gem tone will add a richness to the neutral. You can also add snakeskin prints accessories or nails - one of my favorite accessories right now.
Have a lovely weekend everyone!! :)

...Enchanted Forest...

There is something about fall that makes me want to be outdoors and emerse myself in its changing colors and fading beauty..




Have a lovely fall day everyone!
