Military Chic, Natalia

Harper's Bazaar Russia's Natalia Alverdian wowed street style addicts like myself with this amazing military inspired and lace combo in February during the Milan F/W 2010 collections. A combination that subsequently graced the racks of fashion-favorite boutiques like Miu Miu this fall.

The super-chic stylist nailed the look again during the Milan SS2011 collections; this time in a version adapted for the warmer Fall climate. Winter or Fall, she never falls out of line.

lace and suede

Here's another favorite lace look of mine. I love how Victoria, of Stiletterne, pairs this excellent vintage skirt with this adorable suede bomber. The skirt is brilliant. Its weight is perfect- not too transparent not too heavy. I also love that she layers it over this black bodysuit. So discrete. And I also love her bag. I have to find some more mini-vintage handbags with long shoulder straps.

baby lace

From the runway to the pavé and cobble stone streets of Milan and Paris, lace proved that it is not to be taken delicately this season. ADR, Caroline, Shala, and the adorably preggers Miroslava Duma are a testament to its allure. Miroslava is radiant in this black multi-tiered mini. Also, love her straw hat and beaded headband combo. Very sweet.

"go 'head, baby"

Do you know the LL Cool J song "Jingling Baby", the chorus of which is "go 'head, baby"? Well the song popped into my head last Wednesday when I spotted Shala arriving at the Valentino Fall 2010 couture show. Looking stunning as always in a Valentino mini, she was jingling along in a breathtaking pair of Azzedine Alaïa python sandals with multiple tiers of bells.

Gold Leaf

Hello Darlings! I made it to Paris for the couture shows. So excited about being here and so excited to shoot the gorgeous people who attend the shows. Here's an image that I shot this evening of Caroline. She shines in this little gold number. I'm off to get some rest now. Until tomorrow, a big kiss.

Incredible

The images speak for themselves. Stunning, Incredible, Spectacular! ADR in a Dolce Gabbana lace dress and leopard print YSL archive wedges.

Sporty Lace

Love the way Djiga mixes this season's favorite trends: a cool denim jacket, an army green sweatshirt, a ruffle-lace skirt made by her mom, and ever-cool Ann Demeulemeester strappy sandals.

Child of the '80s

Giulia raids her mother's closet to achieve the perfect '80s inspired look. Updating her mother's parka and sweater with market-found lace leggings and H&M field boots, her look comes off edgy-cool. BTW, I am convinced that I recently saw that sweater somewhere. I can't remember where. Or maybe it was a dream. But it was offered in fuchsia and bright blue. Oh! And, one of my favorite looks from the '80s are lace tights. I was sooo happy when they made a comeback in 2001/2002, and I'm happy to see them back again. They add spice to any look!
