Oh Holy Zoe!

Omg ooc I am so incredibly excited that Rachel Zoe's new clothing line has officially hit stores!! I got a sneak peek earlier this week at my store of choice (Neiman Marcus Austin) and the line is siiiiiiiiick!! Major cred goes out to R.Zoe because I honestly think she had a lot of creative influence in her line, because I seriously could see her in EVERY piece of the pilot collection (well except maybe the denim). The line is super retro, and while not as Boho chic as I was hoping, It is extremely well refined and thought out. From careful sequin selection, to subtle touches of leather, and to the designer look of the buttons and closures, the line is in my eyes a success; especially after Zoe's QVC line of faux furs last year. Zoe made a great business move doing a high end line. As of right now Neiman Marcus is the only retailer in Austin that is carrying the line.


This is my fist fave look in the collection, The long faux fur vest.  Zoe did a great job making sure the faux fur has some dimension and is higher quality. The color is also great, and I like the leather detailing around the fur which makes it more versatile.

The next is this amazing camel wool suit!! The suit is so retro and has an retro Halston feel. The military jacket is double breasted and has buttons and a belt. It is retailing for $525. The pants however are the best part. They are super high waisted and a true tailored trouser. The fabrication is thick enough that they lay nice and would be flattering on different body types. The pants run at $375 and are totally worth it. I paired it with the ivory metallic bow blouse which also looks great paired with just the trousers.

The 3rd look is by far in my opinion the best look in the collection. It is this incredible camel colored wool dress with black leather piping and an exposed zipper down the back. Its got a slight cap sleeve but it definitely works. The dress is super mini though, so all you tall ladies, this might not be the right one for you unless you pair it with tights! :) This is a great transition piece into fall.




until next time lovies.

Shop Nasty Gal!

 So for a while now I've been a huge fan of Nasty Gal! My friend Jenny told me about it, and immediately I love the crazy nasty name for of all things, a super trend forward fashion website. The site offers everything from paper thin basics to shoes and accessories. Im just going to obsess about my current faves.

Dusty Drape Blazer $68
First is this amazing Dusty Drape Blazer. I not only love this color, but also the lightweight ease of it. It reminds me a lot of The Row, and you can do a million things with it. The styling on Nasty Gal is amazing as well. Whoever styles their site is a fashion genius. The chiffon drape of this blazer is a refreshing alternative to the super structured boyfriend blazers we've been seeing for the passed few seasons (Elizabeth and James I still love you, and keep rocking those blazers out)






There are truly styles for everyone on this website. Whether your style is super

Electric Garden Dress $38
feminine and girly or if its a little more edgy to rockabilly. My next fave totally explains my previous statement. This Electric Garden Dress is the perfect transition piece to take into fall. Ive been in love with this dress for a while, and honestly i need to just order it already. The dress at first glance is fairly girly with the floral detailing, while at closer look there are some super sexy mesh cutouts on the dress. I love how they have paired it with the light wash denim jacket, and the platform combat boots. Its a perfect mix of girly with an edge.







Nasty Gal also has amazing accessories and shoes. Some are a little more than I can personally see myself in, but they are definitely conversation pieces. Check out some of these nasty finds below.
Jeffery Campbell Nude Pump $138

Ram Ring $18
Joyrich Keith Harring Duffle $138
