Look of the Day: J.Crew Stripes, Ribbon and Pouf *Update*

 

Perfect Fit Stripe Boat Neck, $39.50, Elastic Convertible Belt, $19.50, Chino Bubble Skirt, $69.50, All J.Crew

Hello, lil' cutie! Wanting this ensemble of stripes, ribbons and pouf. Such a fresh color combination too. Love the grey stripes with black bow tied sash and creamy base.

I bought a couple of striped tees from Forever 21 that have magically proved to go with everything. I've worn them with several skirts, but I don't believe I own a solid cream one. Which means I need it right?;)

The Chino Bubble Skirt also reminds me of the Anthropologie Modern Gallica skirt that I missed out on. I found a medium but it was too big and a small never popped back up. 

Review Update: So I received the J.Crew top and skirt. I should have paid more attention to the name of the skirt. For some reason I was envisioning a light cream skirt with a cotton sateen texture. Probably because that is what I've been wanting lol. 

No, it is definitely chino fabric. A light yellowish beige, and it doesn't have sewn in tucks and swirls as shown. It just looks like a wrinkled mess, but maybe that can be fixed with a good steaming. I won't know because I'm returning mine. If it goes on sale for half off I might think about trying it.

The striped shirt is cute but not sure if I want to keep it for $40.

I didn't get the belt because I thought I could just use ribbon but of course now it is the thing I'm wanting most. Anyone had a chance to try it yet?

Look of the Day: Crochet Leather Dress

I'm obsessed with the crochet like knit of this leather tunic. I'm equally obsessed with the light blue color of the python bag. Gah. 

I think 3 Women has definitely permeated my brain, because I normally wouldn't look twice at white shoes(even if tinted pink).

1. Kiki de Montparnasse silk blend slip, $495 2. Dior Bonnie Croc Sandals, $1,150 3. Joseph Leather Knit Tunic, $1,745 4. Pamela Love Bird Skull Ring, $590 5. Chloe Paraty Python Bag, $3,825 6. Chloe Abélie Sunglasses, $250 

 

See the look on Shelley Duvall's face? Actually, she just isn't pleased with Pinky at that moment.

UK & US Vogue Street Style

I've enjoyed following UK Vogue's "Today I'm Wearing" monthly street style feature. Have you seen it? So far they have showcased Alexa Chung, model Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and currently Olivia Palermo.

I get what they are trying to do with the camera photo style shots, making it seem personal and unplanned, but I wish they would have just handed them a decent camera to use.

They have also been doing a similar column over at Vogue.com for some time. I believe it started with Lauren Santo Domingo showing what she wore for seven days, but has been since edited to "Five Days, Five Looks, One Girl." 

You can view the weekly looks of Meredith Melling Burke, super intern Emily Weiss and other Vogue worker bees. If you can't tell, Meredith has been my favorite so far.

Look of the Day: Kate Moss in Shaggy Vest

Looking like the old Kate in oversized vest, ahead of the Chanel Fall 2010 shaggy fur trend.

Look of the Day: Kate Moss in Long Skirt & Leather Jacket

 

I didn't include these images with the last post because I thought they deserved their own. Years later, I'm still loving Kate's ensemble of long, sheer skirt, white tee and vintage leather jacket(though I would update the shoe situation for this decade). Is the skirt Prada, anyone know?

Golden Globes 2010 Favorite: Maggie Gyllenhaal

Maggie Gyllenhaal's Roland Mouret was my favorite last night. Emily Blunt's Dolce Gabbana dress was a very close second, but the the salmon pink color and origami like folds on the RM had me swooning. Feminine and modern!

 

Emily Blunt in a swirl of loveliness. Did her Dolce gown remind anyone else of Charlize Theron's Dior by John Galliano dress at the 2004 Golden Globes? Something about the ruffles going down the bottom.

Look of the Day: 20's via the 70's

I can't even see all of the chevron print dress and want it. I'm also crushing on the wood platform heels with scalloped edges. Finding something similar is at the top of my spring wish list.

Look of the Day: Gatsby Girls

I love both of these outfits so much. I've developed a lace obsession lately, and I love that furl of lace coming out from under the coat(but it is Galliano, what is there not to love?). The outfit on the left is is all gleam quieted down by the great combination of matte black and distressed brown.

Oh, and can we talk about the clouds of tulle enveloping their heads? So darkly romantic. I'm obsessed with hair items lately so don't be surprised if more pop up this week.

Left: Vera Wang Metal dress and rust buckled sling backs Right: John Galliano Jacquard wool coat, dress, tights, and leather shoes.

Look of the Day: Isabella Blow

"I do like to push," Blow admits, but her style is not merely a pose; it is a way of being.

Such a fierce image of someone so fragile.

Look of the Day: Diane Kruger + Chanel Gloves

I could probably post a Diane Kruger picture once a week, but you may get sick of her, and I don't want that to happen. If you read my blog you obviously know I love her coat(animal print!), but what really has me swooning would be the mint green Chanel gloves she is wearing. Perfection.
