BURBERRY RESORT 2013

Oh my gosh, oh my gosh...Burberry is AMAZING. We just love how their looks just ooze of being tailored impeccably well. Those jackets are just...well...there aren't many words to describe what they are. Although we cannot afford these awing looks, we'll let you in on some of the things we're seeing and will probably use in our own dressing inspiration...the short jacket paired with pencil skirts, the continued use of the paper bag pant (these are expensive but you get the idea), and the use of metallic and taupe (you may see us use this combo in the future). Oh and that's the first we've seen a paper bag skirt! Maybe we'll go vintage and find a skirt bigger in the waist and belt it in. Never thought of that (we'll let you know how it goes). Very cool.

SLOUCHY SHIRT, SLOUCHY PANT

This outfit was definitely inspired by an image we saw and had no idea where it came from. But we loved the look of it. You've seen us wear these pants here and here, and we swear every time they look different. I however must admit, that the more I see this the more I'm on the fence with the look. I guess sometimes copying something already so chic can be hard.  I don't know... I just keep going back and forth about it. At one point I'll like it, at the next I won't. Does any one else feel like that on certain days?

MODEST LOOKBOOK - Kristen Bell at the CMA's

So pretty right? Here is Kristen Bell on the red carpet before hosting the Coutnry Music Awards a bit ago. She's in such a beautiful Reem Acra dress, that we couldn't resist showing you. And you know what? We saw such a similar Chanel dress on the famous model Karolina Kurkova in Cannes a couple of weeks ago (we didin't post it since it's awfully sheer). It kind of starts to make you realize how so many clothes that designers make come from similar textile sources.  We didn't fully realize the concept until we saw this and this and made the mistake of saying that one dress's maker was the other. Oh well. Don't you think it would be kind of interesting to be a textile designer? You almost dictate what's going to be in style for the next season. That's kind of cool. 

T-SHIRT AND PENCIL SKIRT

 

 

OK so we told you we were going to try this. Leelee's t-shirt and pencil skirt combo was too good not to try. We feel like you all should experiment with it too. It's definitely effortless. And of course, it leaves room for all kinds of accessories. Who doesn't like that?

BLOG HIGHLIGHT - Hedvig from Northern Light

 

We've been so impressed with Hedvig (originally from Norway, now residing in London) and her blog Northern Light. She's got a really cool mix of class and edge  and you can probably tell we really admire and appreciate when this is done well. It's funny because we've seen her image pop up plenty of times on blogs like Jak & Jil, but never put it together that she had her own blog! So now we get to view the looks straight from her. Yay! Anyway, she's got some great legs, so things can be a bit short at times, but overall we just love her sense of style. We say you should definitely check her out!
