Madewell Fall 2015

I like looking at the runway first and then hunting down the best things from the more mainstream. I love Madewell to finish a wardrobe and add wearable pieces. P.S. don't miss the 40% off on top of sale on the site. Check out what's coming your way:

A perfect summer dress

Last week I was in Manhattan on the upper east side having lunch and a woman walked in to Sant Ambroeus wearing this Calypso dress. It was the perfect cut and the silk looked elegant but not fussy. I ordered it immediately and was happy to get it on sale.

Illesteva boca sunglasses
Sophie Anderson bag
Jennifer Meyer studs (in sliver too which I prefer with this set)
Balenciaga sandals

Fall Fashion 2015

This is about the time I start pouring over all the ready to wear for the upcoming season. This inspires me for fall and gets the creative wheels flowing for clients come August and September. When I look at ready to wear I am looking for themes, shapes, colors and textures.  Most of runway is not everyday so my job is to take a part of it and make it everyday chic and wearable.

Fall Fashion coming your way:

Chloe: skinny neck scarves, pea coats with lapels, jumpsuits, tall boots, chocolate brown, faux fur, 70's galore

Marni: chocolate brown, snake skin, belts, fur

Pantone Color Forecast for Fall 2015

Start looking for these colors now as you hunt the sale racks at all of the major stores. Retail is a little slow this summer and everything is on sale. I like to start fall shopping now so that I have a good amount of transitional items to wear September-October when it is still 80 in LA.

What to scoop up from the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale

After two weeks of glorious vacation I am back at it and wanted to make some anniversary picks from Nordstrom. I picked things that would roll right into fall. Much more on fall fashion later. Very excited.
