Lace in the City

A bit of a tomboy, I love wearing pieces that make me feel feminine and girly, and lace has just that effect. For balance, I toughen up the look with leather and raw denim. Boldly shaped silhouettes and sharp accessories can also be used to modernize the timeless fabric and add dimension. Most exciting is the presence of lace in many fall lines including Jason Wu, so expect to see it everywhere. Definitely a look worth investing in, so get to shopping everyone!!

Love how the skyline is captured in my glasses. Such a beautiful city.

I made some super stylin’ new friends while taking pictures! Aren’t they too cute!

Leather and Lace

Sweet and sassy – two words that sum up this outfit. Love the resulting effect of pairing ultra femme with bad girl-esque pieces.  It gives the otherwise sweet look some serious power. Scored this jacket in Florence last summer for a fraction of what it would cost here – obsessed with the ruffles and asymmetric zipper. (Find a similar jacket here.)

Another fun look would be pairing the skirt with a tomboy piece like a schoolboy blazer (shown here). Recreate the look with your own combination of opposites.
