Chloé Silk chiffon blouse

Updated Feb 4, 2008

1st to recommend

Description

When I was in college, my favorite movie was Secretary with Maggie Gyllenhaal. I, at the time, thought it was a sweet love story and, more importantly, loved the clothes in it. Gyllenhaal was rocking the retro 40s chic and I absolutely adored it. This silk chiffon blouse would have fit in perfectly in the movie and that means, I would wear it be perfect for a business suit. The slightly sheer nature of it suggests that it would be perfect under a nice skirt suit. The delicate bow allowing me to be both glamorous and professional.

Anya Hindmarch Shirley patent tote

Updated Feb 4, 2008

1st to recommend

Description

What is it about large handbags that make them so appealing? Is it the ease with which they fit our life into them? Is it the almost dwarfing air about them? Is it the handles that mean they are always carried and never slung over the shoulder? Whatever it is, I love the large handbags of the world. I love the handbags that look like they should belong to "the ladies who lunch". And this patent Anya Hindmarch handbag definitely fits in this category. Shiny black, gold accent hardware and it's just oh, so cute

Miu Miu Single-breasted blazer

Updated Feb 4, 2008

1st to recommend

Description

Suit jackets are hard too find. Either they are too boxy, or too long or just have a plain unflattering cut. That's why I adore to see suit jackets like this. This jacket hits right at the right spot, at the hip. It has two perfect buttons which means this jacket would work just as well over a dress as it would over a skirt and blouse.

Proenza Schouler Vine print blouse

Updated Feb 4, 2008

1st to recommend

Description

This blouse looks a little messy, but don't be fooled. When on it sits slimly on the body and the scarf at the top makes you feel like you just walked out of a old school movie. I prefer it best tucked into wide leg pants with a discreetly matching set of shoes and a purse. Perfect for a business casual day in the office.

Moschino High waisted pencil skirt

3 people recommended this item

Description

When did it stop being okay to be a woman? Woman and men dress the same now, and while I don't want you to think that I'm anti-feminist...I don't see what's so wrong with women being able to dress like...women. I know, though it baffles my mostly male coworkers sometimes, that I like to dress up. Knee length skirts like this one dominate my wardrobe. It's basic, black and is long enough that it's just plain nice.

Jimmy Choo Orleans leather slingbacks

Updated Feb 4, 2008

1st to recommend

Description

Oh Jimmy Choo, I love you. No matter what the year is, no matter what the fashion is, no matter what I always, always, always love the shoes that you make. They work for everything from casual to work. These shoes fall on the business side of the world and oh, how much better they make the business world. I love the comfortable height heel (a mere 80mm) and the basic black nature that has been spiced up by the styling on the front of the pointy toe.

Jimmy Choo Loren patent pumps

Updated Feb 4, 2008

1st to recommend

Description

My shoe closet explodes with black shoes, black ballet flats, black slingbacks, black pumps, black boots. Black pumps are the quintessential wardrobe accessory! And these black pumps have the Jimmy Choo seal of excellence (so to say). I love the tiny little gold ring at the toe and the slightly high heel. Perhaps 100mm isn't comfortable walking heel height, but they are perfect for slight jaunts around the office.

K Karl Lagerfeld Fran cotton shirt

Updated Feb 4, 2008

1st to recommend

Description

White shirts are so essential to any wardrobe. This white shirt mixes up white a bit, It has that masculine bib styling which, when paired right, can somehow make you feel all that much more feminine. It's like dressing in a boyfriends shirt to make that suit valid the next day.

Nanette Lepore Ruched pencil skirt

Updated Feb 4, 2008

1st to recommend

Description

Nanette Lepore has a way of making even the simplest item (a black skirt for instance) feel fun and feminine. I love this ruched skirt. It's knee length and black, which means on the more relaxed days in the office it would be charming with a basic starched white shirt. It can also flip to night easily. Pair it with something daring and slim for a nice night out on the town outfit.

Prisma Ponte Pencil Skirt

Updated Feb 4, 2008

1st to recommend

Description

Forget diamonds! I think that black skirts are a girl's best friend. Black skirts like this one are just so charming and can be used for everything. I like the knee length of this black skirt. It's a nice full pencil skirt with a high waist. This skirt would be perfect for the office and still could be worn on a weekend.

Greyton Pencil Skirt

Updated Feb 4, 2008

1st to recommend

Description

Grey and black have to be my all time favorite color combination and when you pull those together in a nice tweed with a skinny black leather belt, you have a skirt that I wish I could make my new uniform. This skirt is in a pencil cut that hits right at the knee. Can we say adorable?

Karen Kane Capelet

Updated Feb 12, 2008

1st to recommend

Description

I'm of a mixed mind about romance novels. On one hand I think the books themselves can be rather tawdry and perhaps a bit silly, but on the other hand the clothes they describe in some romance novels catch my fancy. I've had a love for houndstooth since I read a romance novel many many yearns ago and it described an old houndstooth jacket, elegant and timeless. This houndstooth capelet is just that. Perfect for the fall and winter. I like the black and white check..the cut of this capelet makes me want to wear it with a nice black turtleneck or perhaps a little black dress..either way it'll keep that fall chill out.

Byte by Teso Rabbit Fur Capelet

Updated Feb 12, 2008

1st to recommend

Description

Rabbit fur is so soft and cuddly. Though I know I look like dorky in them, I have a pair of fuzzy rabbit fur earmuff that keep me nice and warm. How much better would a full rabbit fur capelet be? This white rabbit fur capelet has an air of innocence about it. And an air of snuffly warmth. White rabbit fur is just what fall needs..and makes this capelet feel vintage!

"Crystal Gazing and Universe" Bracelet with Dark Grey Fashion Pearl and Blue Swarovski Crystal

Updated Feb 25, 2008

1st to recommend

Description

Cold silver, bright turquoise crystals and dark grey pearls...i adore this bracelet. I rewatched the gossip girl episode 'The Handmaiden's Tale' the other day and this bracelet just seems like it belongs over a glove at a masked ball. Even better though, this bracelet seems like it could handle the daily wear circuit too. I'm thinking maybe with a nice float-y spring shirt or with a smartly professional white button up shirt.

Bow Tie Blouse

Updated Feb 25, 2008

1st to recommend

Description

Much to the chagrin of my friends, Secretary is one of my favorite love stories. It is, in no minor way, due to the clothes. I love her slightly vintage wardrobe styling. This bow tie blouse in turquoise silk is perfect! I love the way it looks all dressed up and professional and yet slightly fun. It's a shirt for a modern pin up girl.

Marc Jacobs Knit Straight Skirt

1st to recommend

Description

You know the days, when you are tired and it's cold and you just want to snuggle back into your down comforter. But it's fall and you can't. This knit straight skirt is just the ticket you need. It's professional, but yet it's comfy. Great for those days when you might be needing a little bit more comfort.

School girl style is always awesome. And this grey pleated skirt is above the knee and totally gossip girl. Can't you see the pleats with some patterned tight, or maybe even thigh highs.

Geometric Pattern Blouse + Fitted Wool Skirt

This shiny blouse is awesome. There is the black, red and white pattern and a basic black band, as if it was a mini corset without the restraining leather. The slightly puffed sleeves with the broad black band and the bow--it's absolutely divine! And oh so mod!

Belle by Sigerson Morrison

Description

And what is a better harbinger of autumn than the pointy toed pilgrim heels. Now, I'm sure that the pilgrims didn't wear shoes exactly like this, but they'd be awful fashionable if they did! I like the laces and the warm grey suede color. But best of all, I like how they can be worn with tights and the best skirt of the season.

The first memory I have of my stepmother is a movie she took me to...it was Hocus Pocus. I know I should have been scared, but my only thought was those shoes are awesome! As such I rather enjoy it when witch shoes come back into fashion, they can be incorporated into fashion when there is a tiny bit of victorian influence.

Cynthia Rowley Sincere Grey Heel

Updated Feb 26, 2008

1st to recommend

Description

You know what they say about an over abundance of clothing sometimes being more intriguing than the naked form? Well, I completely understand what they mean. As such I have a tendency to enjoy the steampunk, victorian and even gothic lolita style. These shoes, with their grey flannel and lace and slightly shaped heel have me all a twitter. They don't show the toe, or even much of the foot, but I think encased in them, they would be gloriously intriguing.

Dolce & Gabbana - Leopard Print Blouse

Updated Mar 4, 2008

Description

This blouse has me purring. It's leopard print, but it's not over the top. Rather it's a sweet poufy short short sleeved, high collar affair. I own shirts like this in plainer colors. But I think I could even work this shirt into my work clothes.

Valentino Roma Tiger-Print Fitted Jacket & Pencil Skirt

Updated Mar 4, 2008

1st to recommend

Description

Today seems to be my day to be in love with everything Valentino does. There is something utterly soft and feminine about the cut of this tiger suit even though the pattern is of a fierce predator. The pencil skirt or jacket by themselves would be good wardrobe pieces and together they just get better.

Dkny Ombre Skirt

Updated Mar 6, 2008

1st to recommend

Description

Ombre is not just for parties though. Say I wanted to bring a splash of ombre to work (casual fridays of course). Dkny ombre skirt might be just the thing. In work appropriate colors (ah, the glories of black and gray) and had a suitable length, I'm seeing this skirt with a black cardigan set (air conditioning makes offices cold in the summer!).
