Balmain One Sleeve Gathered and Torn Mini Dress

First to recommend

Description

Christophe Decarnin recreated the image of Balmain into the trashy-chic modern day Parisian aesthetic that it is. It is this meticulously helmed drama that was instantaneously craved by Carine Roitfeld et al. His creations are strikingly forward and require a lot of poise, a lot of audacity, and a lot of money! Not everyone is willing to plop five figures for one dress but with something like this, a current season dress on sale at an online boutique? Ce n'est possible! It's unheard of but clearly at your disposal. Enjoy. (via Luisa Via Roma)

Alexander McQueen Striped Column Dress

First to recommend

Description

Alright, so not every single woman in the world has a body like Michaela Kocianova. That shouldn't stop you from wearing this dress. It is almost universally flattering and gives an hourglass shape to any figure with its trompe l'oeil jersey pattern. Strong shoulders complete the look. It's amazing how one piece can exemplify many different layers, and this dress does just that.

3.1 Phillip Lim Leather Gem Neck Piece

First to recommend

3 people recommended this item

Description

Phillip Lim gets hotter by the minute. Since I first saw - and was fortunate enough to have met - the designer a few years ago, he has snowballed to fashion stardom. I have always loved his silk scarves, but this new jewelry is fantastic.

Alberta Ferretti Jewel Embellished Tunic Dress

First to recommend

Description

I've always associated Alberta Ferretti with a grownup but directional sense of style. It is a woman's collection designed by a woman and it is reflected in the clothes entirely. There is not always a need to be gaudy or to show a lot of skin. Even when covered up, Ferretti's clothes bring out the inner sexiness of a woman.

Bottega Veneta Ruffle Bowler Bag

First to recommend

Description

Bottega Veneta is best known for their accessories. The liberal use of detail on this bag is very Bottega and their very signature is the immense attention to detail. A bowler is transformed into a dual image, that of fashion and that of art. The play with texture is genius.

Calvin Klein Lovie Cocoon Bouclé Coat

First to recommend

Description

Belted and cinched coats are all the rage right now, but why not take a break from the norm and opt for a roomier cocoon coat from Calvin Klein? Comfort and style can go hand in hand.

Chloé Heloise East West Bag

First to recommend

Description

The great thing with Chloé is that they always make standout bags and are very sturdy ang long-lasting. Chloé just never loses its cool factor, no matter who is at the head of the design team. That is just how Gaby Aghion intended it to be and this bag should make her proud.

Derek Lam Velvet Tunic Dress

Why this Derek Lam dress? Perfect as a standalone and equally as stunning when with skinny jeans, wide leg trousers, a coat, tights, etc. You name it, it works!

Fendi: Patent leather B bag

Description

I've always been a fan of the Fendi B Bag. It's just an eye-popping design with it's two colossal buckles. In this papaya color, it's even more appealing and covetable.
