Workwear Inspiration: Holts Muse black and white

  Errmehgerd..This is so my puuurr-fect work outfit! lol.  I am so inlove with the black and white with a pop of red.  Its's so tastefully done! I am loving everything from the Giorgio Armani Bag in red (sooo cute!) to the peplum three-quarter length blazer.  The blazer is the basic black but the style is anything but basic! I was hesitating to purchase a striped skirt as I thought it would be somewhat difficult to find pairings for it, but this has convinced me! lol.

Dries Van Noten in the spotlight: Julia Roberts in Tokyo

I fell inlove with Dries Van Noten's Fall 2010 collection previewing it at style.com recently...It seems that I'm not the only one!  Spotted! Julia Roberts in one of his fall pieces, a Floral Sheath in 3/4 sleeve...Breath-takingly gorgeous! LUV. 

One of the floral sheaths from his ready to wear Fall 2010 collection--similar to the one Julia Roberts wore at a Tokyo press conference for her new movie, Eat, Pray, Love.

I love the femininity of the floral dresses--it's simple in that there are no extra frills but the bright, bold colours gives it that extra pop.

Fall 2010 Ready-to-Wear: Loves it.

The world of fashion moves two steps ahead of the normal world, and anticipates the ever-changing trends of the public.  I always get excited about fall during summer and thus, I couldn't wait to get my hands on the sneak peak of Fall 2010 Ready-to-Wear collection.  I had my eye on one designer in particular, Chloe.

For those that know me well, I rarely spend my hard earned $$$ on the designer clothing.  I much rather invest in another lux, handbags.  Ever so often, however, I do venture to the designers to get ideas on the upcoming season and what looks good and what may not. 

Chloe
Under the hands of what style.com has mentioned to be the first female designer at the Fashion house of Chloe since Phoebe Philo, Hannah Macgibbon shows her take on the Chloe Fashion 2010 Ready-to-Wear collection.  Exciting! Finally! A woman back to take the healm.  Mind you, she was also a protege of Ms. Philo, who I believe has her own line now (must put on the list to check out!).

So her colour of choice was quite obvious from the first few photos of the Runaway show in Paris.  Lots of neutrals, beige and camel tones.  In fact, one of the most recognizable pieces she has which I've seen so far in two mags, is the Jumpsuit--one being in the Fall preview section of the July 2010 of Harper's worn by Cameron Diaz. 

I love that this colour is once again the dominant colour for fall.  It's fresh and chic, casual but yet dressy.  As style.com desribes it, it's 'grown up' and a new take on the fashion house and it's old flirty, feminine style.  The mens wear inspired looks are just gorgeous.
