Bye Bye Summer

In one week we'll be glued to our computers taking in some of the best street style looks that FF11 has to offer. But before we delve into next season's must haves, here's a look at my friend Maria in some of the looks that she lived in this Summer.

Here in a yellow top, a color that we couldn't get enough of. In fact, just this morning I found a pair of H&M yellow skinny jeans that I've been searching for months. I was so happy, I wore them to work. Reworking my look cost me 20 minutes, so I was bit late arriving at the office. But, it was totally worth it. TGIF!



Oh, and her pleated skirt, very popular this past Winter, and super super fresh for the Summer. I know that I personally couldn't do with out my favorite white, pleated skirt. What about you, do you have a favorite pleated skirt that you've lived in for the past few months?



OH, oh and her grandmother's Louis Vuitton Noé? Gorgeous!

Suspenders, an accessory borrowed from the boys + relaxed slouchy button down + denim shorts and derby boots. Maria styling here screamssss effortlessly cool!



*A note on denim shorts. There's always talk about how they need to go. But, some how they make it back every summer. Let's just accept it. They've become a summer staple and will probably be around for a while. And I say why not. It's good to show leg! Especially when they are as beautiful as Maria's.

And here a fuchsia, 40s-inspired silhouette to transition us into the Fall. Can anyone guess which 40s-style dresses I'm daydreaming about?

Victoria Young | Back to School Inspiration

With NYFW only two-and-a-half weeks away, all the amazing back to school editorials and all the buzz about Marc Jacobs going to Dior, this image of Victoria after the Miu Miu FW11 show popped into my head. You see, I'm currently in search of a cool varsity jacket for fall's first cool breezes. And, a pair of Mary Jane/good girl pumps like these Louis Vuitton honeys that Victoria snapped up post show will contrast the stilettos that I wear on the nights when I'm not so nice (wink). And if SS12 is indeed Marc's last collection for Louis Vuitton, then it's time to acquire a memento or two.
