Fall Flea Market Finds

Flea markets have always been a source of inspiration for me, especially since I never know what I may find while browsing.  I thoroughly enjoy meandering through the stalls, uncovering hidden gems, and chatting with friendly vendors. Inspiration may come in the form of colorful bikes, vintage perfume bottles, holiday decorations, or luxurious coats from decades past.  Even if I leave

Lacey Looks

It's all about ruffles and lace in bright and bold colors at BCBG this season.  When paired with rhinestones, it's an ultra feminine mix that's perfect for the upcoming holidays.

Winter 2011-2012 Fashion. SKIRTS. What skirts are in fashion this season.

Skirt is an indispensable thing in the wardrobe of every woman. This winter you'll be plenty to choose from. Fashion designers represented a big variety of colors, styles, textures, variations of detail, so that we can say that the skirt in the cold season will be one of the most stylish woman's wardrobe items.

Now is the time to get rid of jeans and pants and put on a skirt and heels.

Leaher skirts.
The fashion hit of this season. A leather skirt is an amazing way to turn heads and get noticed. It can turn a woman into a lady vamp, and it can turn a teenage girl into a woman. It's one piece of clothing that can look cold and hard in a closet, but warm and sexy when it's worn right way.
Leather skirts from Jean Paul Gaultier, Ports 1961, Tommy Hilfiger, Aigner, Holly Fulton, Chanel and Hermes

Warm skirts.
This season you don't have to choose between beauty and health. This winter designers advise to wear fur skirts.
Fur skirts seen at Betty Jackson, Matthew Williamson and Albino.

High waist skirts.
You should wear high waist skirt with thin polo-neck sweater or blouse tucking it into your skirt.
Seen at Temperley London, Badgley Mischka, Antonio Marras, Sonia Rykiel, Nicole Farhi and Roccobarocco.

Pencil skirts.
Designers refreshed classical models with bright prints, appliqué, flounces and patch pockets.
Pencil skirts from Zac Posen, DKNY, Donna Karan, Ports 1961, J. Saunders, Tsumori Chisato and Elie Saab.

Mini skirts.
Mini skirts are extremely fashionable this season. But fashion designers advise to forget about tight-fitting skirts and choose trapezoid cut.
Seen at Issa London, Acne, Ungaro, Thakoon, Tibi and Herve Leger

Saturday Soirées

I spent my Saturday evening hopping to various events around L.A., and the d.RA Clothing sample sale was my first stop. Hosted by a handful of popular bloggers in collaboration with Lookbook.nu, it was a high energy shopping party. With a strong mix of fall 2011 and spring 2012 clothing from dRA and Kasil Workshop, jewelry by Social Grace, shoes by Seychelles, and various snacks and beverages

Mango Merchandising

Mango's holiday windows caught my attention last month with their mix of studs, chains, red knitwear, and leopard prints.  Watch this space for more holiday windows, as this is the best time of year for window shopping.
