Runway to Real Way: Neon & Neutral

2011-06-16T13:20:00.000-04:00

This look is based on the Spring 2011 runway look by Aquilano.Rimondi. The neon orange blazer is complimented with neutral shorts and clutch. Gold-tone accessories carry on the neutral scheme. I love the chain-anklet sandals because they are so sophisticated and sexy. The green tee and the blue collar necklace keep things interesting... And the outcome is a sleek and dressy look that is fresh for this season.

Modern Shift Dress

2011-06-09T15:07:00.011-04:00

How about a splash of lemon yellow for the summer. This outfit features a charming shift dress with front draped detail by Karen Millen. The top handle bag from Dolce & Gabbana has woven rafia details to play off the braided detail on the Prada platform sandals. Wear this to the office and top it with a wide-brimmed straw hat to protect your precious skin from the harmful UV rays when you go outside. :)

A Sleek White Suit

2011-06-08T13:04:00.002-04:00

This set recently received an honorary mention from the White Looks contest on Polyvore. The judge said "This fabulous set features a stunning white look with a little retro charm, which comes from the incorporation of a beautifully designed floral top. Furthermore, this set contains a lot of wonderful brands like: Alexander McQueen, Michael Kors, Balenciaga, Viktor&Rolf, and Chanel. Its definitely a must see. Check it out and comment/like to support this member's work if you like this just as much as I do."

Well, I feel very honored to received such a nice review and want to share it with you.

Givenchy Leopard Halter Top

2011-06-07T13:27:00.010-04:00

This halter top by Givenchy has subtle leopard print and very chic zipper details. I make a dressy casual outfit with a pair of sleek white shorts, wooden heel sandals and a quilted handbag.

Trend: Cold Shoulders

2011-06-05T14:50:00.000-04:00

I recently noticed that some tops and dresses have cut out at the shoulders. They are chicly called 'Cold Shoulder'. I think it's a nice trend for the hot summer. Take a look at this collection. You can click on the individual image to see a larger image and description.

The Brown Family

2011-05-17T15:07:00.000-04:00

Another office-friendly outfit with brown tone-on-tone.

Why it works:
- The outfit consists of neutral brown pieces.
- The draped skirt's volume is offset with the fitted top. The deep V-neck and the buttons lead the eyes to the focal point of the skirt at the middle of the waist.
- The chunky locket necklace keeps the eyes from staying only at the middle section of your body.
- The inner cami keeps the outfit office friendly.
- The shoes with tall ankle cuffs work well with the skirt which is relatively short.
- The jacket's relaxed fit plays off the skirt's silhouette.
- To add a little surprise, the simple structured bag provides contrast to the relaxed fit pieces.

45. Milan

2011-05-14T11:38:00.000-04:00

Number 45 in the 60 City Challenge is Milan. The street style here seems to be on a trendier and sexier side.

Why this outfit works:
- The jacket, halter top, and skirt feature diagonal lines.
- The yellow color in the skirt and accessories pop over the neutral colors of the jacket, top, shoes and bag.
- The fitted short jacket echoes the silhouette of the top and does not hide the silhouette and the details of the skirt.
