Baroque Era

| comments

Opulence is all the rage these days, and it is time to get out the embellished sweaters, decorated headbands, and heavy, rich prints. Dolce & Gabbana was the leader of the trend, with Oscar de la Renta and Balmain following suit. Will you bring on the glitz this season with your most ornate outfits?

Minimalism has come and gone (thank goodness) so that extravagant fashions can once again reign supreme. Fall has given us plenty of baroque-inspired glitz and glamour, and even accessories are wildly whimsical. For the woman who likes a statement piece to be on her feet, here are some insanely elaborate shoes seen this fall.

Meadham Kirchhoff might have succeeded in creating the frilliest, most glittery flatforms in the history of the universe. Blush pink ruffles, rainbow glitter, and a furry pink pompom give this shoe its decadent look. 

 Tennis shoe heels are popping up on every street style sight, but these Giuseppe Zanotti sneaks may be the brightest of the set. For the spotlight lover who wants to add a little athleticism to her wardrobe- just don't try running in these babies.

Looking for a literal translation of the Greek flat sandal? Try these winged flats by aptly-named Ancient Greek Sandals if you are looking to impress Hermes (the messenger of the Gods, not the luxury French brand, though I'm sure they would get a kick out of these shoes as well!).


Prada is no stranger to the fabulous shoe, and fall's statement piece is no exception. This season's heel comes with a signature curvy heel and plenty of mix-and-match embellishments that will have any foot feeling extremely fancy.

More Marie Antoinette chandelier or Laduree cake than shoe, this Dolce & Gabbana masterpiece is perhaps my favorite shoe of the season. Truly a work of art, this high, high heel comes in both blue and white, both versions lined in gold paint and adorned with tiny pink glass flowers. Sweet and fabulous all at once, this is a truly Great Shoe.

What is your favorite shoe from Fall 2012 collections?

Style Crush: Emma Stone

| comments

Hot off freaking about Stone's latest silver-screen persona, I have turned to the woman behind Gwen Stacy and her exquisite red carpet style. The Amazing Spiderman tour has been long (they've been promoting this thing since April, it feels like!) but that has given dear Emma plenty of opportunities to knock our Wolford socks off with her red carpet choices! From sweet Chanel frocks to vampy Gucci goddess gowns, Emma Stone has proven that she is as sartorially inspirational as she is personality-wise. Honestly, the girl has got it all! Who knows, maybe she may win the title of It Girl for the second year in a row!

Friday, I'm In Love: D&G

| comments


Had my prom dress from last year not been so similar to this D&G dress, I would have been so tempted to get it. I simply cannot resist a full-skirted fifties-fueled baby blue dress.

The Lonely Hearts Club

| comments

What I enjoy most about Valentine's Day is not the excessive romantic lovey-dovey-ness but rather the fact that I can wear as much pink as I want without being judged -not that that really stops me any other day of the year. Still, it is nice to be able to outwardly flaunt my rose-colored clothes without people gawking at me like I'm some kind of My Little Pony.

Anthropologie sunglasses
Steve Madden boots
Ann Taylor leopard skinny belt 

And because I love you, my fabulous readers so much, I have made a collection of fashion-centric Valentine's Day cards that I'm surprised Hallmark didn't already pick up! Haha. They are totally cringe-worthy (they were made on MS Paint, after all) but hopefully someone gets a good laugh out of them.
