The Elements of Style

Color, texture and silhouette are three of the most defining characteristics of style. When these elements are combined well they have the ability to create magnificent beauty...



  Color: 
There is nothing more delicate than white.
    Texture: 
        The combination of textures is incredible. I love the demure detailing 
    on the dress combined with boldness of the gold necklace.
        Silhouette:
A well tailored dress, that fits in all the right places goes a very long way.
                                                         

*Tailoring is essential in any good wardrobe, if something does not fit always look to see if it can be tailored. I have fallen in love with many pieces that did not properly fit, but with a little tailoring they have easily been transformed into favorites. If you do not know of a good tailor ask your friends or local dry cleaner. 


    Color: 
This color is fabulous!!!
    Texture: 
A patent pump will always be a classic and can easily be dressed up or down. 
Silhouette: 
I'm a big fan of really tall heels. I also love the shape of the toes on these, not too pointy but not too round, very versatile. 



Color:
I love the vintage feel this color gives this clutch. It is absolutely sensational. 
Texture:
The texture in conjunction with the color is marvelous. The detailing of the texture truly transforms this piece, without it it would be just another colorful clutch. 
Silhouette:
I love the shape and size of this clutch. Nothing drives me nuts more than a beautiful bag that holds nothing! It's nice and thin and fits well in one's hand making it easy to carry and manage. 



Color:
Pink and white will eternally be a classic and feminine color combination. The addition of a dark clutch is an excellent accessory color and adds boldness and depth to the overall look. 
Texture:
I love the texture of the lace and the silky smoothness of the top. Lace is one of those classic textiles that has the ability to turn an ordinary garment into an extraordinary piece.
Silhouette:
The slender fit of the skirt when combined with the loose and billowy bright top bring a modern edge to this outfit. Silhouettes tend to either be classic or edgy and therefore are often one of the most defining characteristics of style. Pieces with classic silhouettes can easily span decades while those with edgier lines may fall out of style more easily. 


Color:
What sets these stunning heels apart from other black pumps is obviously their unique gold heel and sole. I adore this combination and think it is fantastic! 
Texture:
The podesua in combination with the smooth and shiny gold is marvelous. Black and gold are such classic elements and I think this is a very creative union of the two. 
Silhouette:
Obviously, these are not your average black heels. The platform and shape of the heel are very unique and combine to create an elegant statement. 




Color:
To be honest, I think some color could transform this dress.  This is a stunning piece and yet I do not think this particular color does it any justice. 
Texture:
I am quite find however of the material, I think it lays well and has a pretty sheen to it. The way the lower portion of the skirt has been sewn also adds a delightful texture to the overall dress, which I think makes it  far more interesting. 
Silhouette:
By far and wide the shinning star of this dress. The tailored bodice and a-line skirt are exceptional. This dress truly transcends time with its classic lines. Created today by Zac Posen I can easily envision a starlet of the 1950's wearing this on the red carpet.
