Dress Code Obsession - R Zoe is doing a contemporary line!

It's true readers.......our much beloved Rachel Zoe is doing a fabulous contemporary line!  This line is scheduled to debut in fall 2011 and has already been snapped up by Neiman Marcus and Bergdorf Goodman.  Just flipping through the media images, I think it looks very wearable and very Zoe.  And yippee for all of the career wear!  Finally a great place to find something stylish and chic for work.  Amazingly enough, this makes me look forward to another fall (even though I would give my right toe for it to stop snowing and icing!).  To read the mummy-to-be's thoughts on her new collection head over to style.com.  And here's a little sneak preview to enjoy in the meantime!

Dress Code Obsession - YSL snake tribute sandal

Happy Monday readers!
  Here's a little something to get you off on the right foot this Monday morning.  After all of the nasty weather we had last week all I can think about is SPRING!  What better way to begin your spring wardrobe than with the perfect pair of shoes.  I believe I have found them!  The classic YSL tribute sandal has captivated me for years.  Ideal proportions and a sky scraping heel make this a lust-worthy shoe.  However, add in the most fabulous snake skin in neutral colors and I just faint!  I would pair this with the all-white trend that was so strong on the runways this season.  But, honestly, a great snake skin shoe goes with everything....color, solids, prints...everything! 

So, fabulous readers, as you are accumulating your spring wardrobe, be sure you add in a fabulous snake print sandal that you can pair with multiple outfits.  Whether you choose an investment piece like this YSL (or perhaps something a little more cheap and cheerful) I promise you will get your money's worth!

Dress Code Obsession - Valentino Couture

Happy Saturday Lovely Readers!

   It's such a delightfully sunny day here in Big D, and this beautiful weather has put me in the mood for some beautiful clothing.  That's why I thought today would be the perfect day to highlight one of my favorite couture shows from last week.  The Valentino show was full of light, frothy confections that filled me with joy!  The layers of lace and tulle, in the wrong hands, certainly could have gone too princess-y.  But, designers Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pier Paolo Piccioli created elegantly slim proportions and used feather-weight fabrics to perfection. Could we see some of these enchanting gowns at the Oscars?  I certainly would not be surprised!  Cheers to glamour, beauty and the perfect gown!

Dress Code Obsession - Victoria Beckham

I am such a huge fan of Victoria Beckham's style.  She is chic and sophisticated all while being hilariously funny.  I loved this interview by Suzy Menkes and hope you will too! It makes me want to:
a) Be British
b) Be stick skinny (even when preggers, like Beckham)
c) Purchase one of her beautifully body-conscious sheaths immediately.




Also, here are a few of my most favorite looks from her Spring 2011 show.

Love this vibrant color and assymetric folds

So Chic, So Victoria

Love the metallic mix

Throw a jacket over it and wear to work or add a big necklace for a party



No words.....just love.



So clean and minimal.....love the sophisticated color.
