The Scene
When Peaches left for NYC a few weeks ago, he re-gifted us with a couple of bottles of champagne. Lucky us! So tonight Mr. Diabolina and I popped open a bottle. On a Wednesday. To celebrate we'd made it this far :)







While Mr. D watched Top Chef, I devoured a much tastier treat: the Nordstrom catalouge.





Am a sucker for the Toledo illustrations.












And all the yellow accents





Especially with statement necklaces












Plus the polka dots





And prints













And especially polka dots WITH prints. Ugh. Nothing like fashion to get me past hump day.

The Scene



Rainy outside today. Built the outfit around the tights and the boots.










Am obsessing over the tights Marc showed for Fall.





Love the styling of the show - so many seemingly disparate pieces working in perfect harmony.












Today I chose the navy blue dress in my own attempt to create a little contrast, a little pop. And because navy has been catching my eye lately.















Tops








And skirts















Shoes







And coats










Layers





And patterns












Loving it paired with a rich clay brown







And layers of fabulous gray













Think the overall look ended up a bit clownier than the last time I wore it with monochromatic YSLs instead of today's contrasting BCBGs. Lots of mouths agape at the office. Ugh. Kept my coat on most of the day. Whatevs - you win some, you lose some. It's JUST fashion ;)














Am loving that the shape, material AND color of my dress was very similar to this Marni look for Fall.




Adore the idea of pairing it with a dusty pink shoe.
















Also digging that florals are sticking around for fall...AH-gain!





So luxe looking with all the contrasting textures and patterns. They create such dimension.













But the solids at Marni were pretty amazing too.





You know how I feel about this yellow. Especially with that necklace.














I want all the Marni accessories, per usual. F.






So many necks and wrists in bloom.










My little Louis Vuitton ears today don't really compare. Boo.








Though I did pretty well with my own contrasting tights and shoes today. Those people at work don't know nuffin'.


And this bag on the runway - not too different from today's putty colored Marc bag. YAY! Makes me feel like I just SAVED $2,000.


I'll toast to that ;)
