Low Luv x Erin Wasson

Low Luv x ERIN WASSON Gold Coin Collar Necklace
Low Luv x ERIN WASSON Gold Saint Coin Bunch Ring

I never thought one of the edgiest and most rock and roll fashion models (turned Stylist for Alexander Wang) and now Jewelry designer, would connect with Fashion Chalet. Erin Wasson has put a special spin on Fashion and now Jewelry, too. I'm in love with these new pieces. Unsurprisingly, Wasson's signature low-key, yet edgy, personal style is channeled into collections that exude attitude and are anything but typical.

I'm Seeing Red ... and Gold

Finished dinner and now I'm craving something sweet, in a red hue. How about you?

(1) Erin Wasson brings casual cool back with a red shirt (great options from Wildfox Couture here, here and here) figure in a star printed bikini bottom and mussed up beach hair for added edge..

(2) M.A.C. makes an amazing red lipstick it seems, I just can't seem to find the name? Additional options (Elizabeth Arden and Palladio ) Either goes great with the Rebecca Minkoff MAC clutch.

(3) And then there's Anna Selezneva during New York Fashion Week (taken just after the Ports 1961 S/S 2011 show) in a dreamy Gold jacket... I really want one. Awesome options from Dennis Basso, Vince and this spectacular trench coat from Maison Martin Margiela.

Erin Wasson Encounter

During New York Fashion Week this year, I saw so many familiar famous faces mere inches away from me. Surreal to say the least. Everyone is even prettier in person, if that's even possible? After one of the shows, Lindsey and I were waiting to hail a cab when lo and behold Erin Wasson was shooting right next to us. Before a large SUV pulled up and scooped her inside, Lindsey managed to capture this quick snapshot. Erin is even taller in person too, incredible!

Floating on the Clouds, if I could I'd never come back down

Recently digging editorials and style by: Anja Rubik, Alexa Chung, Amanda Norgaard, Behati Prinsloo, Erin Wasson, Hana Soukupova, Kate Moss, Frida Gustavsson, Natalia Vodianova and Sarah Jessica Parker. Lately loving: dark eyeliner, feathers in my hair, blood red lips, pink, black and teal, red nails, Prada SS 2010, stripes, crowns, and yes, those pink Miu Miu shoes!

Nights Unfolding

A coverage of NY Fashion Week from afar. Snow can be so pretty but also somewhat troublesome. With a bit of luck, I hope I won't have any weather issues thwarting my NYFW plans next season.

Sparkly things, dazzling lips and bold colors. This season I'm seeing strong thoughts, unfolding like arms, into elaborate designs. Mod lips laced in glitter reigned at Doo.Ri while, part Parisian / part Hippie, accents marched on at Erin Wasson x RVCA. Organic, true to form and name, kept things simple and sleek, slightly vamping things up with splashes of seventies hues, bell bottoms and Barbarella hair. Only platforms were missing.

Other noteworthy collections: Richard Chai, Generra, Rag & Bone, Ports 1961, Vena Cava, Charlotte Ronson, Jason Wu, Cynthia Steffe, Alexander Wang, Cushnie et Ochs, Acne and BCBG.

Can't wait to see what comes next!

Who else is digging the Matrix meets Batman appeal at Alexander Wang ? Hello menswear in velvet, I love you.

Pretty Things: Doo.Ri, Erin Fetherston, RVCA, and Hervé Léger

Doo. Ri - Gothic bride meets punk party girl. I fell in love, then in lust, with the sequin and glitter speckled tights. Somewhat reminiscent of daylight breaking against the early morning fog. The half purple, half blue lipstick seems like a challenge to pull off, but once paired with the space age greys and silvers of the clothing (as well as the black as midnight dark eyeliner) it seems to work seamlessly well.


Erin Fetherston - Alice in Wonderland brought back to life, and revamped in a new light of luxe. The bright pops of red and the strappy platform pumps are all part of this dream like state. Jewel encrusted party dresses, exaggerated bubble skirts, and oversize bows on top, turn this two-dimensional cartoon into high fashion. If I were there, I would love to shake Erin Fetherston's hand, give her a hug and then beg to wear one of her incredible creations. Alice isn't chasing after a white rabbit any longer, or asking a smiling cat questions; instead she's cat walking down the path of her very own dazzling dreams!


Hervé Léger - Body hugging, body conscious; we've heard it all. Lithe bodies, neutral tones and simple designs; all leading to the answer of why Hervé Léger's collections are so infamous for their sex appeal and glamour. This Ready to Wear collection introduced us to knee high, leg hugging boots, motorcyle chic leather, sequins and more overstated accents than we ever dreamed of. All in all, another wonderful smattering of ideas.


RVCA - Erin Wasson, model, designer, stylist and now; visonary. Her line in collaboratation with a skate fashion company, is turning one avid skater's head after another. Whereas before, mainstream designer skate lines where next to blah in the dictionary as far as designs, presentation and overall appeal. Skimmed over in the magazines and passed by in the mall. Yet, Erin managed to capture the true skater by heart and and the true fashionista by nature. The line isn't all girly nor all tomboy. It's a happy mix between street beach chic, casual hippie and a touch of haute bohemian couture; all done in true Erin Wasson fashion, of course. Every one of the items in the varied collections have a piece of Erin, and all of it screaming chic!

• Happy Friday!!!
• Planning on a Dog Park Saturday and picnic.
• I have a little something special to share (in the blog) on Sunday.

A Year in Review

I thought it fit today to blog about some of my current favorites for 2009 as well as some favorites that haunted me through 2008 and still today. I am anxiously anticipating the arrival of my body con double-U neck minidress from American Apparel, in black with long sleeves. The perfect classic; alone or layered. Cat has convinced me to hit the mall today for some studded rings (as has MK Olsen) and Melissa talked me into making a stop at the bookstore for the perfect Fashion book. I'm craving multichain necklaces as well. I cannot wait to incorporate all of these trends and new ideas into my blog this year. I do have some secrets up my sleeve, all neatly written out in shopping list format, of course. I hope to score some of them today. If not, there's always tomorrow.

XO

UPDATE: I ended up getting:

• a slew of rings
• a new scarf
• a bracelet
• and some very Carrie Bradshaw shoes!! xx
• I had to order the book online, along with another ring and necklace. :]
  

Marching into November!

As we enter the crisp month of November, I am instantly filled with visions of the Holiday season to come. Brightly colored decor; in glittering green, lavish gold and ruby red; twinkling lights, egg nog and pumpkin pie; the gift of giving and creating new memories; traditions. All, tantalizing the senses.

From grungy to girly, who better to bring life to the holiday spirit of dressing up than the boisterous Balmain, trendsetting Mary Kate Olsen, entrepreneur Erin Wasson and model Hilary Rhoda? From big hair to fun fur, this is the time of year that I treasure most. It's going to be a grand celebration and I can't wait for the festivities to begin! ♥

(8.18) End of Summer / Muse Board

I thought to myself, with summer coming to an end, why not tie in some of the best parts into a Collage? I know many of you aren't looking forward to having to go back to school again (my younger brother included!) Which is why I decided to make this little inspirational "gift" for all of you, my readers, as you head back into classes. From Heath Ledger and Christian Bale; for their impeccable acting and outrageous summer box office sales of "The Dark Knight," to worn in denim street style, fun club pieces, and Runway model garb that surely inspired this Summer. Hopefully this "Muse Board" will inspire you as you get back into school form and have you coming back to my blog for more.
