Fit For A Royal

With the entire world [im]patiently waiting for Kate Middleton to give birth, it leaves us common folk with many questions to be answered — What will Kate’s post-baby style be like? The same, more, or less L.K. Bennett? What will the baby wear? Who will be the first designer to dress the royal baby? Will the royal gynecologist get his or her own reality TV show? Do royals actually give birth or does the baby magically appear in a cashmere blanket woven with 24k gold?

But today I’m not answering any of these questions…however, if you’re interested in royal things, luxury things, or both then I suggest you keep reading.

WERK From Home

Most people have the same concerns when it comes to working from home: getting easily distracted, not leaving your apartment, and when it comes to the creative industry, being uninspired. Well thankfully there’s nothing good on TV during the day, I tend to have plenty of meetings and events, and I’ve figured out a way to WERK from home.

So for those of you who are in the same boat (whether you’re in fashion or not) or those thinking about making the switch…I want to show you how you can WERK from home. It’s much more fun. I promise.

Currently Obsessing Over: My Moda Operandi Wishlist

It’s no secret that I am absolutely obsessed with the only website where you can literally buy straight from the runway–Moda Operandi. Check out your favorite looks on Style.com and buy them a few days later on Moda Operandi…can it get any better? Now that’s fashion forward!

Here are the pieces I’m loving from the currently available Fall 2012 collections on Moda Operandi.

PhotobucketMary Katrantzou

Mary Katrantzou is a designer who has intrigued me the last few seasons. Basing your brand on these crazy prints is quite a risk…but there’s people like me who can’t get enough of them! So, does anyone have $31,000 to spare so I can get this dress? 🙂

Helmut Lang

May or may not have already ordered these leggings already…

Proenza Schouler

It’s Proenza…need I say more? Okay I will. That jacket will one day be mine (even if I have to do questionable things to obtain it).

Peter Pilotto

If I can no longer get my hands on Proenza Spring ’10 (best. collection. ever.) Peter Pilotto Fall 2012 is the next best thing. The colors and prints are incredible and I’m loving everything about this outfit.

PhotobucketFendi Ski

Haven’t been skiing in a while, but I’d definitely reconsider if I get to wear Fendi.

Chi City Closet: Fendi Spring 2011 Platform Sandals

Platforms are one of the biggest trends for Spring 2011. When I first saw them on the runway, I wasn’t exactly sure how I felt about them. Then I saw the Fendi Spring 2011 runway platform sandals up close this past weekend, and I really fell in love.

The moment I tried them on, I knew I had to have them…so now they are part of my Chi City Closet 🙂

So with that said, Spring needs to come ASAP. My Spring shoe collection is growing fast and I am getting antsy to wear them!
