Russian "It" Girl - Miroslava Duma

They don't call her the Russian "It" Girl for nothing. Mira Duma is the editor for Harper's Bazzar (Russia), as well as a writer for numerous publications and magazines. Her style is funky, but super cute! I love how she can mix it up - preppy, urban, edgy - and still have her own signature style. Check out some of her outfit choices below.

Rachel Zoe Collection - Pre-Fall 2012

Oh wow - it has been a long time since I last blogged. Sorry! It has been crazy busy in my world lately. But I'm going to try and catch up on my blogging.

For today's post, I wanted to oogle over the Rachel Zoe Pre-Fall 2012 Collection. I am so glad this stylist turned to design. Her gorgeous pieces give me inspiration and creativity. This collection is a mix of gold, black, maxi, leather, sequins, fur and whatever else fashion-wise you can think of. Oh, and buttons, lots of buttons! I love the way every outfit is styled - it is the RZ collection afterall - styling is what she does best. Below are some of my favorite looks.

 

 

Trend Alert–Faux Fur Vests

I love this trend and I especially love to see how fashion forward gals mix it up. Of course, my favorite look is Rachel Zoe’s – that’s exactly how I would wear that fur vest. This trend can be paired with just about anything and still look fabulous. Just remember, because of the bulkiness in this outerwear, make sure to keep your bottoms slim with skinny jeans, leggings, or a fitted dress with tights. You have to keep the proportions balanced! .

Zara - Dress Like a Princess

Duchess Kate Middleton recently stepped out wearing something all of us can afford. The lace tulip dress Kate wore to a charity event is from Zara and will only put you back $99. Unfortunately, the dress is sold out online (probably thanks to Kate’s endorsement). I love how she paired it with all black – tights, pumps, jacket and clutch. Exactly how I’ve been wearing my dresses this season. This royal lady knows how to dress, even on a budget.

Lust List – Celine Luggage Tote

The Celine Luggage Tote has been on my lust list for a while now. This perfect tote bag had been sported by celebrities of all ranks – from Reese Witherspoon to Kourntey Kardashian. The bag is the perfect trendy design – minimal and classic. It can be worn to the office and then taken out into the town. Top retailers, including Saks Fifth and Nieman Marcus, have said this bag is their top performer. With graduation coming up – I may have to take the plunge….. The only problem is (like Chanel) this bag can’t be bought online and our local stores don’t carry it. I wonder if I can find it in our neighboring city – SF. Will be putting a trip to the city on the calendar.

Below are pics of some celebrities sporting this tote. This bag is not everyone’s favorite, so share your opinions – love it, hate it or eh…..

Versace for H&M

Versace for H&M hits stores on November 19th, but you can see previews of the items on the H&M website. To tell you honestly, I’m not that in love. Some of the pieces are cute. I really like the hot pink dress – it would be perfect for a special occasion. However, the prices are what throw me off. I know, I know – it’s Versace, but its also H&M. Maybe when they hit the sales racks…. What do you think – will you be adding these items onto your Christmas lists?

Fashion Fail – Christina Aguilera

This girl has been pulling a lot of fashion no-no’s lately and this is no exception. The singer stepped out wearing some underwear over tights with a long leather jacket and a baseball cap. I have no words for this….none…. What is going on with this girl – such an amazing talent. I thinks she’s losing it.
