Runway Inspiration: {Nina Ricci Pre-Fall 2012}

* love the vintage vibe of this dress, with the exquisite detail of a flocked butterfly motif borrowed from a kimono the designer picked up in Japan and of course the unusual, yet adorable fishnet gloves

* the little black dress updated with details of passementerie-trimmed velvet and the other in a stretch radzimi

* a trio of inspiration to turn everyday work outfits into something spectacular

* the leopard-print overcoat, albeit a bit longer, still a coveted staple in one's wardrobe

* the never-ending flattering neutral, the blush, paired with a bold red lip

* these are my favourites; love the pairing of a chunky knit striped sweater with a lace pencil or a always flattering a-line skirt

* lastly, a lovely fuchsia sweater with a draped and twisted pencil skirt in army green; love the color combination and juxtaposition of feminine with a hint of military influence

Fashion Inspiration: {Fall Fashion + Catching Up}

{Hello again! It has been hectic since my last post, i.e., returning to work after four months french language training, the birth of my second grandchild, beautiful Léa, seen here, here and here and finally with her big brother, Zachary. Zachary, Léa and her parents (my oldest daughter, Amanda and her boyfriend) are living with us until my their new home is finish being built, sometime mid-November... so family life has been terrific to say the least... and now for this post, I absolutely love hats and graphic prints so couldn't resist posting this editorial... p.s. welcome to September, my favourite month of the year (has nothing to do that my birthday falls on the 14th!) hope your long weekend is going along beautifully so far, xoxo}

Editorial Inspiration: {White Magic}

{... hope you had (and are still having, for my American friends) a fantastic (long) weekend?... what better way to start the week than with the lovely Heather Marks donned in a gorgeous sheer chantilly lace dress (by Brioni), a viscose top and viscose/polyester-blend short (by Max Mara) and knit lace cardigan and skirt and satin bra top (by Chanel)... have a wonderful Monday in your area of the world!}

Fashion Inspiration: {DIY Scarf Dress}

{isn't this DIY scarf dress absolutely gorgeous?... I have always loved scarves and love wearing halter tops in summer from scarves... now with this ingenious DIY, I can also put my scarves to another use and wear them as a dress... love it!}

{...to begin with start with approximately two 31" square size scarves and pin together...next, create an hour glass shape (portioned to your body and wide enough to slip in and out of); the hourglass shape is not sewn in straight (vertical) alignment with the sides of the scarves ~ instead, it is placed at a slight (left-hand) bias. this is important to establishing the asymmetric effect of the finished product... sew together...}

{...mark on both sides of the dress (either with thread or tailor's chalk) where your straps will go.... plan on placing them approximately 10" apart using either your grommets or a needle & thread... attach 2 chain straps (it's up to you whether these match or not)... the shorter strap (to be worn on the right) should measure about 8.5" long; the longer strap (to be worn on the left) should measure about 12-13" long}

{finished product should look like the photograph below...pay attention to how off-center the straps are ~ this placement is paramount to achieving the correct drape...}

{all photographs and (more detailed) instructions taken from here...}
