Princesses in Plaid

This week's fashion inspiration is from the one and only, and always glamourous: Kate Middleton.

Miss Middleton is wearing a plaid skirt, with a black turtleneck and blazer, touched off with boots and tights. I add my own style to this ever classic outfit, by wearing a black and white bow collar blouse under a black blazer, and instead of boots: knee socks and booties! (knee socks are Alex Turner of the Arctic Monkey's, approved ;) ) how do you wear the plaid skirt?

Fun Fact: these pictures are taken at the Pratt Institute Library (Brooklyn's first public library) and the stacks are made with glass floors designed by Tiffany and Co!! How much more glamourous can a library get?

Sequins and Autumn Sun

I. adore. sequins.

But how does one wear sequins on a normal day, with no promise of a fancy event to go to? The simple solution: You dress them down. I took these gorgeous gray and silver embellished scallop hemline shorts (and made them winter wear-able, another plus) by throwing them together with a pair of black opaque tights, and a gray sweater, that I've messily tucked in. Easy and chic! Not to mention, glamourous!

Another addition to my outfit is this coat!! This warm, cozy coat has become my new favorite staple this season. It has the appearance of an oversized men's sports coat, but the cut is just feminine enough. And it also has secret pockets on the inside :) If there's anything I love more than sequins, it's pockets. I like to have my pockets.
