label love | bcbg, ports 1961, and ruffian

only mid-way through new york fashion week and I’m already blown away by the s/s 2011 collections. free-flowing with nudes/blushes, subtle prints and color-blocking? yes, yes, and yes! I love that designers are going for easy and effortless, yet sophisticated. looking forward to seeing what else is in store for the remainder of nyfw. below are some favorites (bcbg, ports 1961 and ruffian), paired with onyx feather statement pieces. what are some of your favorite nyfw collections thus far? – j. woodson

mix n' match | fall weddings

early fall weddings. simply treacherous to style right? you can't wear coral and look like summer, but the leaves haven't turned yet so you can't wear tights and look like halloween. here are three early-fall wedding options--with shoes added-- just throw on a cardigan or blazer.

classic (with a twist).  A textured gold lame and brocade dress (mod cloth, $107) , with a patterned nude clutch (alexander mcqueen knuckle duster box clutch.) and blue elephant  heels by omelle.

modern. the vibrant color spectrum and soft draping of this dress (anthropologie) contrast with the architectural heels of these jeffery campbell pumps (on sale for $99). The result: a polished artsy look.

edgy. the volumunious sleeves of this dress (mod cloth) paired with via manzoni booties (anthropologie) make this an instant winner. go full throttle by skipping the cardigan and opting for a leather jacket instead.

onyx feather press | lanalou style

the lovely lana from lanalou style did a feature on onyx feather. she did such a brilliant job collaging the images from each line. since i'm a lanalou style addict this is such an honor. check out the feature here.
