The Commentary

Needed a no brainer outfit today. Not feeling a Monday after a great weekend. Enter the perfect Valentine: Phllip Lim. 

You know I love me some blue dresses. Happy they've been all over the red carpet lately. Plus my little eye spies that pops of blue are IT on the Fall 2011 runways and on the streets at NYFW right now.

Paired with the studded belt and leopard heels I felt classic and chic.

The only thing missing today was an approving look from my valentine.



 Wish I could've given him a kiss with my orange lips.

Obsessed with orange lips is my new Native American name, fyi.

The Inspiration

The Scene


Got through the work day with glimpses of the new Sex and the City movie.




These gilded Louboutins made me want to weep with joy at my desk.










Don't have particularly high hopes for the plotline.





Carrie as a smug married? Blechy.















I'm in it for the girls.























And - DUH - the fashion. Looks like Pat Field is bringing back the Dior newsprint dress.












But before you think Mrs. Big has turned into a recycling recessionista - check out her
TDF Louboutin lace and sequin booties. Custom made. And easily over a $1000.






In the evening I drooled over Rachel Zoe's fabulous Fashion Week adventures. Most notably, a DVF preview of delish pom pom hats and the faux fur vests Rachel will start hawking on QVC September 12.
















But the real star of RZP tonight was Taylor.





And her Rolex










Chanel bag



Louboutin over the knee boots








Fendi stripes






Dolce and Gabanna spots














Raybans



And plaid.












Looks like Rachel and SJP better watch out, there's a new TV fashionista in town.

The Commentary


Love this blank canvas of a dress.



Especially with touches of turquoise.











Heart me a blue dress






















Glamorous for evening


















And sophisticated for day
























Added the belt today to minimize the volume.






















Simple, low cost way to reinvent a dress.






















A contrasting belt reads particularly fierce and fashionable.

























Love how the browns work with today's look.
















And do you still looooove the turquoise Manolos?





So very Dries Von Noten.













Think Rachel and SJP would die.
