Project Alabama Goldleaf Cocktail Dress
“. . .because everyone needs an affordable showstopper dress in her life!”
Ted Muehling Black Lace Earrings
“Santa, if I may be so bold . . . I have been lusting after these sumptuous Ted Muehling Lace Earrings ever since I saw them on Kate Spade. Could this this be the year?”
3.
Oscar de la Renta Grande Tweed Paillette Embroidered Dress
“This tweed embroidered dress from Oscar de la Renta is unexpectedly whimsical while still appropriate for the fussiest of ladies’ lunches.”
4.
Authier Quilted Jacket
“This parka has sex appeal and comfort in spades. If I was skiing in Gstaad over New Year’s, this is what I would wear. The olive color in so yummy.”
5.
Jimmy Choo Rabbit Fur & Leather Biker Boot
“I think even I might be able to rock these Jimmy Choo rabbit lined leather biker boots, especially on the weekend with jeans tucked in. I’d lighten the load up by pairing them with a feminine blouse. And did I mention that these would look perfect with the Ted Muehling lace earrings?”
An exclusive peek at the looks from designers featured in the Mercedes-Benz Fall Fashion Week whose creations will be serving as inspiration for many of the more reasonably priced lines. Spoiler alert: the timeless marriage of black and white is back.
