Gatsby Glamour for the Modern Gal

This summer, the 20s continue to be a strong influence - and it's no wonder why!! We are luving this look from the glam drop waist dresses, to the pretty pearls and fabulous fringes...and let's not forget Gatby's reputation for soirees bubbling with never-ending champagne! Designers have been jazzing up the Jazz Age couture with a modern twist and contemporary details that make the old look oh-so-wonderfully new again.

 

For your signature twist on “The Modern Gatsby Girl,” rather than resorting to peacock feathers and full-on-flapper, pair 20's inspired pieces with leggings! Leggings are a simple way to bring the haute-couture creations to easy street chic while keeping the look demure and mysterious.  Find a seductive sequence top or a fab fur (faux of course!) and accessorize with vintage looking jewels like these precious pearl droplets.  Then throw on black and gold heels like these gorgeous Gucci's and you'll be ready to Charleston the night away!

Get the Look: Wild Thing

The Fall 2012 runway is taking a fierce walk on the wild side! Leopard is an awesome go-to closet staple that lets you show your playful side while still staying crisp and conservative. 

We luv the idea of pairing a fab feline blazer with an all black ensemble. Velvet loafers are a perfect way to complete the look but if you're really feeling curious, opt for the wow-factor with wear-if-you-dare Alexander McQueen lace-up sandals!

Sandals: Alexander McQueen, Leggings: LUA, Blazer: Balmain, Cuff: Chanel Vintage

Looking classy and chic never felt so flirty and feminine. Give your rubber LUAs a serious side by dressing them up with a collared shirt! We are especially luving Tibi's take on the oxford.
