Dream Come True: Marchesa Fall 2013 Collection

When I saw the Marchesa Fall 2013 Runway show at NY Fashion Week, like always I was blown away! Marchesa is so dedicated to crafting not just clothes but works of art. Their unique composition of embroidered detailing, perfect tailoring, and feminine structures allows them to create gorgeous one-of-a-kind pieces. This collection wash not a let down! With a romantic baroque theme, Marchesa played with soft shapes that worked well with floral embroidered fabric along with structured gowns and pant suits; there was something for everyone in this collection! I know that we can definitely expect to see star lights wearing some of these gowns down the red carpet and will be praised for Best Dressed because Marchesa is made for stars!

Get This Style: Kristen Swewart

Take the office out on the town! Blazers are in, and going fast. This trend is taking office wear and making it a must have for a fun night out. Kristen Stewart makes this look hot at the screening of On The Road.

Love this look? We’ll show you how to piece it together! Run way ready or not, you’ll be looking great in this ensemble.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Blazers, Blazers, we love blazers. This tuxedo style blazer, Like the one Kristen Stewart wears, is an layering piece that can be dressed up or down. We’ve created a business casual look by pairing this Lush Tuxedo Blazer with this Sis Sis Forget Me Knot Tank . Together, the blazer is a defining statement pice of this outfit, but still casual enough to wear to around town.

 

 Black skinny jeans are an item that everyone should have in their closets. These jeans are versatile  and can be worn with a variety of outfits. These Lucky Brand Sofia Skinny Jeans  in this outfit compliment the black in the lapel of the blazer and are a great base to this look.

What really catches my eye here are the Red Heels. They grab attention and make this outfit stand out. Our  Delicious Burgundy Mealy Heel  is the perfect way to add a burst of color. Tip: this is also a solution for those who don’t think they can wear colored pumps. Its a simple way to give color, easy to add without out taking away from the rest of the outfit, and really makes this outfit pop. 

The last item I would add to complete this ensemble is this simple necklace. The Wing Its Way Necklace gives the look the finishing piece that it needs to make it ready to go.
