White wouldn't you?

Well it is officially fall (even though it is going to be a hot and sunny day in Boston today) so the question today is would you wear white after Labor Day?  My friend Aleena and I were discussing this issue and I said I typically do not wear white jeans, cropped pants, or linen pants in the fall/winter.  Although, I continue to wear white blouses and cardigans and I still carry my winter white handbags in the fall and winter.   However, after seeing some of these great 2010 fall looks featuring white and ivory pants by Thakoon Panichgul, Gucci, Jill Stewart, Reed Krakoff, and Isabel Marant I would definitely reconsider.  I love the looks so much that I think having a pair of white pants is now a fall/winter wardrobe essential!

What are your thoughts on wearing white pants in the fall and winter?

Fashion Now

This past Saturday I had the wonderful opportunity to be one of 4 judges in a "Model for the Day" contest.  This was an open casting call where the lucky chosen model will have the opportunity to walk the real runway with professional models during the Simon Fashion Show Now on October 1st at 7pm.

Other judges included Tim Ayers, Agency Director with Model Club Inc, Corinne Demadis, Booking Agent with Model Club Inc, and Candy O'Terry, Magic 106.7's on air personality.

For this event I wore a reversible Built by Wendy dress from Flock.  Flock is definitely becoming one of my favorite boutiques in Boston and Dani, one of the store owners is so stylish, knowledgeable, and helpful.

Built by Wendy Bauhaus side tie reversible dress,  Anthropologie belt (seen here), Ann Taylor booties (seen here), and earrings and bangle gifted from my lovely aunt Anjana and cousin Poonam from London

This is what the dress looks like without the belt. (sorry but the belt caused a few wrinkles) Next time I might turn the dress inside out and wear it as a navy dress. I think adding a pair of brown flat boots would create a really nice relaxed and casual look.

 Here is more information on the fashion events for those of you who live in the area.

Animal Prints and Bollywood

Today is my mom's 60th birthday! I think she is style'n in her animal print sari.



{Mom-Happy Birthday from all us gals!}

 Since I can remember my mom has had a weakness for stylish handbags and shoes.  ( It is a good thing we have the same shoe size)  Birthday's are always a great excuse to add a new handbag to the collection and here is my mom's latest addition.  (I will definitely be borrowing this bag from her)

Tory Burch deep clay norah satchel

light brown snake print wallet

My mom also adores anything Bollywood so I thought I would share her playlist today. These are some of her favorite songs right now and they are perfect for the gym or a nice long run outside.   Now you really don't have an excuse to skip your workout today!

Style Trend: Navy and Yellow

 I am sure many of you have seen this Miu Miu fall campaign. I just love the combination of navy and yellow and these images are so inspiring to me.  

So, a couple of weeks ago I stopped into Anthropologie to buy this belt for my friend's wedding and of course I ended up with extra items. I bought this yellow belt and this Ruffian little navy tea dress (on sale) and I wore the outfit for our anniversary dinner in Nantucket. 

What color combinations are you excited to try this fall?

Fall For BCBG Maxazria

I received the BCBG Maxazria Fall 2010 catalog in the mail yesterday and I must say I love this collection.  The fall looks are chic, versatile and effortless. And these looks really provide great inspiration for my individual and personal style.   Here's a peek at some of my favorite looks from the fall 2010 catalog.

Where do you draw inspiration from when creating your personal style?

Get the Skinny: Part II

{Gap skinny jeans, Old Navy hoodie, Stride Rite shoes}

Remember the post I did here on skinny jeans last week?  Well turns out skinny jeans are great for the little ones too.  I admit I was skeptical because they kind of look like they would be too tight.  But my mom got these for my daughter so I gave them a try and surprisingly these jeans are soft and comfortable.  Don't you think they are perfect for the playground,  preschool, or even a playdate?

I hope you are having a great week so far.  Mine is off to a busy start and I would love to turn back time to Sunday.  It was such a relaxing and lazy day.
