Color Theory: Black and Blue Ombre

August 5, 2013


Ombre is still going strong as a fashion trend, and this fall will see the dip-dyed style get a little cooler. 

Jonathan Saunders and Proenza Schouler featured pieces in their Fall 2013 presentations that transformed from the lightest of blues to the darkest of noirs (and sometimes back again). 

Whoever said that black and blue didn't go together clearly hasn't been paying attention to runway shows as of late, because the two colors together couldn't look better.


Go black & blue from head-to-two with a lovely dyed dress, or use the trend as an accent with a fun ombre manicure! Go as big or little as you want, but definitely check out this trend.

Miu Miu Fall 2013 Ad Campaign









Loving Miu Miu's fall 2013 ad campaign. Captures the retro-glam, sultry side of the collection as well as the adventurous practicality of the clothes. Who says you can't go exploring in a mermaid dress, neck scarf, and five-inch mary janes?

Hidden Treasures: The Ruby LA

In case you were wondering how I spent my summer, I interned here at The Ruby, which is basically the world's coolest fashion closet, with everything available for rental for stylists to use! It was an absolutely fabulous way for me to learn about the Los Angeles fashion scene and meet plenty of cool people, and I even got to accompany stylist and co-owner of The Ruby Maya Krispin on a few styling jobs!

Style.com just did a post about The Ruby on their new Style Map feature, which you can read about here.

Baby I'll Rule

August 1, 2013

It's quite clear that we are suffering from a case of royal fever at the moment. Between the royal baby, the new song by Lorde, and all the ermine trims popping up all over fall runways, we've got a real obsession with being blue-blooded right now.


Dolce & Gabbana and Alexander McQueen led the royal movement with their gilded runway shows, but quite a few designers showcased medieval-influenced designs and accessories. Lanvin took a more modern approach, but their full skirts and pretty tiaras screamed Disney princess all grown up.

The key to this look: gold, brocade, and wonderfully tailored bodices. Think details, jewelry, and rich dyes. It's all about looking regal and, well, royal.
