Off the Runway: {Badgley Mischka Fall 2012 RTW}

Edgy and dark yet chic.  There is a continuum of the sheen of metallics and sequins throughout this collection and that adds the perfect touch to the dark tones and the occasional dose of color in the looks.  Every detail is seemingly either glamourous or industrial, playing an important part to accompany the classic feminine silhouettes.

The Latest: {A 70's Vibe}

I found this pair of denim at a great price as I scanned through a sale rack about a month ago and was intrigued by the intense bell-bottom flare of these turquoise pants.  I considered the purchase I'd be making and the kind of investment it would be and took the plunge with this unique item.  They are definitely a little different from what I already own but I can't wait to style them again.

Off the Runway: {Marchesa Spring 2012 RTW}

The looks are soft and feminine yet whimsical.  So very ethereal but clearly sophisticated with the grandeur of the gowns.  The bead-work is divine and the subdued color palette of the grey and ivory is the perfect backdrop for the intricate textures.
