GET THE LOOK:: Metric at ACL 2012

Last weekend I went to Austin City Limits music festival, and along with the live music and the people watching, I also loved what Emily Haines of Metric wore! No, I wasn’t close enough to the stage to see her sunglasses, but luckily there were screens big enough for me to confirm that they were in fact, Miu Miu. 

It might have been my favorite performance, or maybe I was just blinded by those glittery glasses and that leather vest. It got me thinking about the oversized leather vest being sold at Zara right now. When I first saw the vest in the Zara lookbook I couldn’t think of very many ways in which I could wear it, but now  all I can think about is countless ways to wear it! It is the perfect layer for fall, it’ll keep you warm but you won’t be boiling. And the Miu Miu’s aren’t quite attainable – so I’m considering this diy version.

WHAT TAYLOR WORE:: FASHION WEEK 2013

Day two of our Fashion Week recap, it had to be Miss Tomasi Hill. You never know what she’s going to do next, whether she’ll pull out all the stops or just go simple with a collared shirt and jeans. One thing is a constant though: that hair. It’s always hard to choose a favorite, but in this case I could not get over that floral print dress with her cropped leather moto jacket. I think what excites me most about that look is that we can all pull it off! We all have a pretty dress that could stand to be toughened up by a little leather. And if you haven’t seen the word transition enough lately, then here it is again. It’s simply the best way to transition your leg baring dresses into fall. 

Which is your favorite TTH look?

WHAT SHE WORE:: MIRA DUMA, FASHION WEEK 2013

Fashion Week (month) can be overwhelming. Not only do all of the runway shows occur simultaneously, but a plethora of street style shots accompany them. In an effort to organize my thoughts, (and organize my pins!) I’ll be posting my fashion week favorites all week. Stay tuned for my favorite outfits, my favorite street style mavens, and if I can manage to sift through the shows, my favorites of those too! Of course, I had to start the week off with my number one girl, Miroslava Duma. She shows us petite brunettes how to work what our mamas gave us. And as you can see from this collection of fashion week outfits, she always changes it up! I think her best look was the embellished Burberry trench. I meannnn. Someone pretty please diy that.

Let me know if there are any fashionistas you’d like to request!

WHAT THEY WORE: FNO Japan

Anna Wintour really poured her resources into this year’s Fashion’s Night Out Japan in an effort to reinvigorate Japan’s retail industry following the earthquake, quite the worthy cause. And the event certainly got my attention along with the rest of the world’s fashionistas I’m sure.

If this doesn’t make you want to hop on a plane to Tokyo, I don’t know what will!

WHAT SHE WORE:: POPPY DELEVIGNE AT LFW

Poppy Delevigne was a standout for me at London Fashion Week. From her Christopher Kane gorilla dress (which still looks good!) to her green Sass and Bide blazer. And all topped off with her red Ray-Bans — points for anyone who can rock red and green in the summertime. You might also know Poppy’s sister Cara, also a model, I’m sure you’d recognize her if you frequent Asos (Cara has caused me many an Asos purchase!) in addition to being the face of Burberry.

I wouldn’t mind a few of their genes 😉

WHAT THEY WORE:: FASHION’S NIGHT OUT

What did you all do for FNO? What did you wear? Lots of lovely looks here, I’m honestly having a hard time picking a favorite. It’s a stylish collection from London to New York to Paris to LA!
I’m partial to Rachel Bilson… but then there’s SJP in her leather dress, ADR in a purple gladiator frock, Jess Hart in bold houndstooth, Nicole Richie in all her hippie glory, Emmanuelle Alt in Parisian chic, the always sexy angels, and who could forget – the Olsens! Who can choose a fav?

Mission impossible.

WHAT SHE WORE:: EMMA WATSON

It was a big month for Emma Watson, with her final Harry Potter flick premiering all over the world – imagine having that many fashion ops! Here’s what Emma wore on and off the red carpet.
What would you wear if you had to look smashing every day for weeks?? Food for thought.

Off the red carpet, Emma’s staples are Burberry trenches, black skinny jeans, and ballet flats – a look that always looks pulled together and is so simple to recreate! For evening, try your trench over a mini dress for a look that’s easy and sophisticated.

WHAT (ALEXA) WORE:: GLASTONBURY 2011

I’ll admit this is a bit of an Alexa fest, but let’s be honest, she is the queen of festivalwear. (Second only to Kate Moss who seems most at home in a muddy field). If you love Alexa’s white summery dress as much as I do, you might be excited to know it’s for sale on Topshop.com right NOW!

The question is, is Alexa’s influence over me powerful enough to cause a $70 purchase? 

Perhaps.
