Fashion Meets Art

Keeping it short and sweet today, and letting the necklace do all the talking. After all, it's not called a statement piece for nothing.

Have a great weekend!

Put a Bow on It. Or Two.

If you have been following my blog for a while now, you'll know that I tend to favor structured silhouettes and sleek shapes that are more often than not punctuated with an unexpected detail, such as a pop of color or a hint of sparkle. This coat checks all the right boxes for me: Clean lines, sleek modern tailoring, and a classic timeless color - all wrapped up with a pretty little bow. It is the beautifully executed, subtle but stand-out details like this one that make an outfit worth writing home about. Or, as I'd like to say, Heaven is in the details. Not just when it comes to my outfits, but in the orchestration of the tapestry of my life. 

Thank you for visiting, and have a wonderful weekend!

Black is the New Black

The Pantone color of the year for 2014 may be Radiant Orchid (which I love btw), but black-on-black is an eternally chic color palette that's here to stay. All-black ensembles when done right exude a quiet sense of refinement and have a sharp aesthetic that never goes out of style. I typically add some texture to my all-black outfits to keep the look from being too, well, black. In this look the texture comes via the shoulder detail and the clutch, both in steel gray to stay within the monochromatic chic territory.

Have a great weekend!
