and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart

i carry your heart (i carry it in my heart)

~e.e. cummings 

A sweetly romantic ensemble - a cream coloured blouse with ruffled bib (from ModCloth), a black and cream tweed skirt (from John Lewis), both embellished with black rick rack trim. and a basic black pump from Chinese Laundry. A tailored fuschia cashmere cardigan sweater adds a pop of colour, and amber-and-rose chandelier antiqued earrings complete the look.

A Dazzle of Zebras

You'll be ready to run with a dazzle of zebras in this zany outfit. A black cashmere sweater with a bell hem is paired with a hot pink wool mini skirt from John Lewis. The outfit gets funky with zebra print tights and black patent leather platform Mary Janes from Giuseppe Zanotti. Add some bling with the necklace from Etsy that has hot pink, zebra print, and turquoise beads.

Completely Condimental

Combine grey-and-mustard Glen plaid trousers (from Nottinghall) with a ketchup-y red cowl neck cami (from Nordstrom), and you have a completely condimental outfit. The real beauty, though, is the very trendy ModCloth drapey grey cardigan. A copper and silver necklace from Etsy and grey ankle boots from Dorothy Parker are all that is needed to complete the ensemble.

Ring in the New Year

What better time of year to dress up than New Year's Eve? You can bring in the new year with style in this outfit that pairs a gold Dupioni silk belted jacket with petal hemline from Eskaton Studios with a provocative eggplant velvet skirt from Ipseity. Dance the night away in sparkly slingbacks, and be the belle of the ball in a stunning Van Cleef & Arpels amethyst-and-diamond necklace.

Happy Holidays!

Dressing for the holidays doesn't mean you have to wear a green-and-red ensemble, or worse, a hideous Grandma-sweater festooned with ribbons,sparkles, and appliqués.

You can get your holiday on Victorian style with a stunning outfit like this one, with a burgundy jacket from Mechanical Bunny and a black pencil skirt with kick-pleat flare from Veronica Varlow (and let's keep those fishnet stockings, shall we?). Accessorize with a black-and-burgundy Pandora slingback and a stunning steampunk necklace from Etsy.

Winter Glam

A retro ski sweater matched with a pink wool skirt will keep you warm when the winter winds blow. Add some glam to the comfort with tuxedo-spat-inspired boots from EllE. A chunky necklace from Etsy in onyx and turquoise, with just a hint of pink, adds a touch of color pop.

Leaves of Grass

This summery outfit pairs a white skirt embellished with a flower design at the hem with a green silk blouse with waterfall collar by Paul Smith.

With a Jimmy Choo "Eliza" patten sandals with a green stiletto heel

Like Bees To Honey

I adore this dress from Unique Vintage! It's so retro-chic with a houndstooth pattern, empire waist, and Peter Pan collar.

With houndstooth-and-yellow pumps from oh...Deer!

And a bumblebee bracelet from Etsy and a bracelet with black Swarovski crystals by Alyssa Smith.

Putting On The Glitz

This outfit is all about glitz and glam, with an elaborately embellished skirt from Adam + Eve and a Prussian blue top with fluid cowl neck, graceful bell sleeves, and a textured satiny sash (from ModCloth).  There's a subtle medieval air to this outfit, as well.

With Christian Louboutin "Eugenie" suede blue pumps

And this stunning choker (from Etsy)

Sunset Romance

Sentimental, romantic, and dreamy. This dress by Betty Jackson conjures fantasies of dining at an elegant restaurant, sipping wine on the deck, watching the sun set over the water.

With silver sandals by Chinese Laundry

And this ultra-feminine rose quartz necklace (from Etsy)

Jungle Twist

This outfit is a classic black-red-white combo with a twist. A demure lace-and-bow blouse by Miss Selfridge is paired with a racy Lucky 13 leopard-print pencil skirt accented with a red ribbon at the waist.





And to complete the outfit, Bowtiful pumps by Jimmy Choo.
