Raoul Perf Leather Shorts

 

A white on white look with hints of metallic and a pop of pink was just what the doctor ordered for such a fabulous evening of sushi and drinks on a warm summer's night.  The outfit was inspired by these perforated leather shorts from Raoul that I snagged on sale.  My favorite ribbed tank from Vince was worn on top.  Metallic accents in the form of a bold cuff from Kristen Elspeth and a wallet from Comme des Garcons added a bold touch to the ensemble.  Pink mermaid pumps by Charlotte Olympia were like the icing on the cake.  You can subscribe to my YouTube channel to see all my videos.

Alaia Raffia Wedges

 

When I snagged these Alaia sandals during the Net-a-Porter sale I knew I wanted to wear them with a frilly red dress.  I looked in my closet and I couldn't find one so I had to improvise.  I wanted to do the shoes justice, but at the same time I didn't want to take away from their beauty.  I never met a pair of raffia shoes quite like these.  They are insanely comfortable and also make you 6 inches taller.  What could be better?  An Equipment blouse in sangria and J Brand leather shorts came to the rescue.  My favorite ribbed tank from Vince that everyone needs in their closet was utilized once again.  It would be great to have a drawer full of Vince tanks since they are so soft and lightweight.  Vintage gold jewelry in the form of fine chains, a watch, and a ring finished off the ensemble.  You can subscribe to my YouTube channel to see all my videos.

Jimmy Choo Biel Wedges

 

Once I put on these cheetah print shorts from Tibi I knew the perfect pair of shoes to bring out their best features, my patent leather Jimmy Choo wedges in red.  A silk Equipment blouse in white is an item every woman needs in her closet.  It goes with everything and you will find yourself reaching for 100% silk blouses like this one in the heat of the summer in order to keep cool.  A stack of bangles and an embossed clutch from Jimmy Choo completed the ensemble.  You can subscribe to my YouTube channel to see all my videos.

A few people were out waiting around to see the eclipse while we were photographing my pink lace skirt suit outfit.

Jenni Kayne Lace Skirt Suit

 

Feeling pink lately so I slipped into a pink lace skirt suit from Jenni Kayne.  The double pocket lace top is actually a separate piece in the Jenni Kayne collection, but after seeing the model wear the two pieces together I thought I would give it a try.  I was lusting after the pink lace skirt because I am a sucker for any delicate lace pieces.  Since both the top and bottom are such vibrant colors they add a sweet injection of color into my wardrobe.  Ground in neutral accessories like my Sergio Rossi patent sandals with a pop of animal print via a Givenchy chain strap purse, the outfit really looked different from my usual style.  It is always fun to dress up a little more feminine so I went with the feeling and also wore Chanel pearl sunglasses.  You can subscribe to my YouTube channel to see all my videos.

Alaia Studded Suede Sandals

 

These colorful Alaia studded suede sandals called for an all black ensemble.  I happily obliged by wearing BB Dakota crochet shorts and an open back tee from A.L.C. made of the softest material.  A vintage beaded choker and my Chloe python paraty bag completed the bohemian ensemble.  You can subscribe to my YouTube channel to see all my videos.

Rochas Mirrored-Heel Leather Slingbacks

As soon as I saw these sweet retro shoes from Rochas I was smitten.

Rochas Mirrored-Heel Leather Slingbacks

Another day, another outfit vlog, and another pair of Rochas retro looking platforms to inspire a seventies outfit.  Using a dress from Free People circa 2008 made from blue velvet with a silver waist, I styled a look that might have fit in way back then.  Blame it on my favorite new pair of shoes from Rochas.  With shattered mirror detailing along the platform, white leather, and plenty of room for long toes to reach out these shoes managed to sell out in one day.  I haven't seen anything like them before and they are so comfortable.  You can subscribe to my YouTube channel to see all my videos.
