In The Mood For Love

A little vamp, a little poetry, and an ensemble of red....all the essential components of an outfit to wear when celebrating Cupid.

This outfit features a red silk cami with fitted waist and lace embellishments, black Gwenivere jeggings by  7 for mankind, and red snakeskin boots by Christian Louboutin. The "Pocket Full of Roses" steampunk necklace crowns the ensemble with romance.

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.

Pink Cadillac

In this outfit, men's vintage wool pants get vamped with a black lace trimmed cami (from Coast) and a men's cut jacket in shocking pink (from Planet).

With Gabriella Rocha patent leather pumps

And this black rose choker (from Etsy)

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)

A Party In Paisley

This outfit defies my rules against matchy-matchy, but the skirt is so funky it deserves all the focus.

I found the skirt on ModCloth, and paired it with a simple black top (from Coast) which has a neckline that echoes the paisley pattern in the skirt.

With basic gold flats from Loeffler Randall

And a black-and-gold paisley pendant (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.

Featuring Betty Jackson

I'm really loving some of British designer Betty Jackson's styles.
