Street Style: Los Angeles Style. Chartreuse, Florals, Burgundy, Leather Earrings

I took these photos of the lovely and stylish Marlena on New Years Day in Los Angeles. I love the color and texture of her outfit. The burgundy and forest green combined with the pop of chartreuse are so good!  
(Oh and P.S. she is a model for my Etsy Vintage Shop, so expect to see more of her looking fierce!)

Pre Fall 2012: JASON WU wins and is best.

Obviously, designers have been paying attention to my obsession with burgundy, coral, and teal. So pretty much, I'm in love with the Pre-Fall collections this year.  

 There is also an abundance of the "very cool artist aunt who lives in a loft space and was photographed by Warhol and only wears giant bracelets" look.   

 Which, of course, is best.  So I'll be going through my faves...but I am bursting with excitement over...

  

Jason Wu's Pre-Fall Perfection. 

High Waists, Dramatic Lip, Femme Fatale, Feminine Embellishments, Unexpected Colors, all the best rolled into a Jason Wu brain. I think my excitement can't even be contained by just one post. So keep your eyes peeled for more WU!!!

Cape on ANOTHER LEVEL. I so so wanna see it from the back.

I think this dress would look good in any size. Also I love the lines with the shoes. It is sharp and sweet.

Perfectly tailored, incredible colors, detailing. Just put someone a bit bustier in there (ahem) and you have a show stopper. (and also BURGUNDY!!!)

Burgundy & Mint....Color Obsession

I am still crazy obsessed with pastels mixed in with traditional fall colors, and I can't get the burgundy and mint combination out of my head. Check out this other post on Unexpected Color for more color ramblings and Treasuries.

Unexpected Color

I am currently obsessed with creating unexpected color combinations for the Fall and Winter season. Pastels sneaking in where they aren't supposed to be. Chocolate Browns and Fall Leaves next to Lemon Meringue and Blue Skies. Here are three collections of color combos I've been taken with.
