links à la mode #163.

What a way to end the week : my recent post on Vogue's Met Gala takeover of New York City has been chosen for Links à la Mode! The collective this week's all about going back to the '90s where classic pieces were de rigeur {two posts on the iconic Audrey and Katherine Hepburn} as well as how much money it takes to be an A-list style blogger.

Investment Chic

Maybe it's the return of 90's minimalism, but these days it seems like the word on the street is all about getting back to the basics. Investing in the classics, returning to classically understated style and timeless beauty. Of course we all have to update this notion of "classic" to fit into our world today, which is why identifying what that means is a never-ending conversation. This week's links will give you some inspiration to that "classic" look that's just right for you.

Links à la Mode #124

I can't believe my Zara Fall 2013 post was selected for this week's IFB Links à la Mode! This is the first time that I participated in it and I can't believe I made it to the weekly roundup. My jaw completely dropped when I spotted my post in the list of 20 links, I couldn't believe it at all! I was really, really happy and now I'm even more motivated to blog and create new content for all of you. Read the post below for all the other links!

Naughty Nineties

It was Halloween in 1988, I decided to dress up as a Hippie. A woman said something I have never forgotten... "You know you're getting old when kids start dressing up like you did as a teenager." Well, this is the year it's really happening to me. As someone who loved alternative chic in the 90's (a little grunge, a little goth, a little punk, a little ska) it's nice to see some of those styles "coming back" for nostalgia if not for anything else. While, I personally will take a seat back, having already lived it before, this week's links have all kinds of 90's themes to them. From Michelle Williams (hey Dawson's Creek hit in '99) to St. Laurent's grunge inspired collection, to the 10 Alternative Fashion blogs to watch, it's there, so just click!

    links à la mode #132 + tumblr makeover.

    I'm so thrilled that Jenine picked me for the Links à la Mode again! This is my third time already and I can't tell you how excited I felt when I saw the link of my Chanel post on the weekly roundup. Expect everything from the latest trends from the Spring 2014 runway to different ways to style affordable fashion from this week's links, mine being the trends and the reasons why you should die for Chanel's Spring 2014. On another note, I've recently gave my Tumblr blog a makeover and I'm really happy with the the way it turned out. Do check it out for me and tell me what you think about it!

    Making the Effort

    Making the effort every day has been on my mind lately. It's fall, the typical time for dressing up. Fashion Month opens the floodgates to trendy people. And while, life may have other things in store for you: unusually warm October, working at home, not working at all... etc, making an effort still matters. Yesterday I was just talking about how making an effort doesn't have to be too much work. It's just a matter of planning things a little. That's what the links this week tell me, they peek into trends for next year, they organize the trends this year, and give a little inspiration for the upcoming holiday we all love: Halloween!

    Falling for Fall

    Fashion Week, September Issues, Back to School (or just back to work) Shopping... Nothing is hotter than September for fashion. Even though fashion week's clothes don't hit the stores until next year, seeing the trends on both the runways and on the fashion elite gives us inspiration for what to wear now. Luckily we have amazing links to the fall finds we'll be falling for.

      elegance à la monique lhuillier

       While scrolling through Style.com's increasing list of S/S 2014 shows, I spotted this soft, dreamy white gown and then and there, I felt like I've died and gone to couture heaven. It was all decked out in winter white (which is one of the biggest, or even the biggest trend of S/S 2014 so far) and had subtle lace of just watching the gown float down the runway made me swoon. Not surprisingly, it was made by frequent red-carpet favourite and uber-amazing bridal designer, Monique Lhuillier.

      Monique has always been about unapologetically feminine gowns and this season was no exception. What I love about her aesthetic is that she can turn anything into an occasion and for Spring 2014, she aptly combined sexy with sophisticated, sparkly with colourful, and as every designer aspires to be, practical with luxe. For this collection, she was inspired by real women and their lives, and turned everyday wardrobe essentials (think tees, jackets, frocks) into luxury pieces worthy of the red carpet by giving them a fabric makeover. Delicate Chantilly lace, sheer cloque and tufts of organza fleurs adorned the pieces which came in fresh spring hues such as hot pink, burnt orange, chocolate and winter white. From the runway came defined yet free-spirited silhouettes that came in the form of lace high-waisted pencil skirts, bandeau tops and bold eveningwear complete with detachable separates, designed with practicality in mind. 
      My favourite was the silk linen gazar bandeau in a vibrant pink and matched with a full draped skirt. It was sexy yet tasteful with it's peekaboo waist above the skirt. Overall, the collection was extremely wearable yet Monique managed to maintain her signature elegant, romantic, sophisticated and feminine aesthetic. A fabulous fashion confection, don't you agree?
