Faux Fur Friday

So, I have mentioned my love for Rachel over and over. I am not so sure I have shown the same love for faux fur. I am obsessed. I think I could like real fur, but I am an animal lover, so that just doesn't fly. Check out Rachel's faux fur vest for QVC, for a steal at $79.90. I.Die.

White Now

A) It is Labor Day already, B) It is September 3rd, C) It is Labor Day already. I know I have blogged about what to wear with Fall fast approaching, but somehow I thought I had some time on my hands before the 3 day weekend hit me in the face.

I have mentioned here that white (imho) is not only okay post labor day, but wearing of the non color should be encouraged. Who made that rule anyway? We all know rules were made to be broken.....

Some fabulous white to wear well after the leaves change and the temperature drops.

1. Camilla Skovgaard Cutout Booties with Lug Sole, $472
2. Balmain Bow Embellished Silk Blouse, $4,435
3. Alice & Olivia Elyse Silk Dress, $420

The September Issue.

Groupe Love

As opposed to groupie love, but there really is no difference here. I am a Gilt Groupe groupie. Seriously, I am smitten. I literally plan my lunch around the noon openings and import the sale dates to my outlook calendar. Check out my latest score - a Rebecca Minkoff Clutch bag. I had been drooling over several of the colors at Bloomies and I was lucky enough to snag this one at last weeks Gilt sale (well, this bag in a gorgeous buttery tan color, but you get the idea.)

Studio 54

As we all learned, history repeats itself. The same goes for certain fashion trends. Some we embrace, others we shudder away from. Much to my delight, we have seen the return of the 70's....

I have become slightly obsessed with the Studio 54 era and basically the 1970's in general. It may have something to do with my love for all things gold and sequins? I love the looks of Rachel Zoe and Nicole Richie who embody the era oh so well. It was a time when Halston was king, his fluid jersey dresses the requisite club 'uniform'. I really wish I was around to see the glitz and glamour surrounding the (in)famous nightclub in 1977. If those walls could talk................

Here some pieces that scream Studio 54 in all its (short lived) glory:

{Diane Von Furstenberg, Net-a-Porter}

{Halston, Net-a-Porter}

{CC Skye, Couture Candy}

{3.1 Philip Lim, Net-a-Porter}

Style File - Maxi, Maxi, Maxi

One of my favorite things in life are maxi dresses. I love, love, love them. They are just so comfortable, chic and perfect for the sweltering temps we are about to encounter.

Truly, a dress that can take you from day to night effortlessly. Swap flat gladiators for chunky platforms, add some heavy metal accessories and voila: instant update.

Be wary of super large prints and shapeless silhouettes that put you into the muumuu category (ed note - after much research I can safely say that is indeed the correct spelling).

Two of my faves:

This Twist Dye Maxi Dress from Forever21 is quite the bargain, but looks so much more expensive than it's $30 price tag.

There is something very special about this Rachel Pally Shirred Long Dress and I just can't put my finger on it. I will be scooping it up come pay-day!
