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?

Christian Bale as Bruce Wayne and Anne Hathaway as Catwoman in this summer's The Dark Knight Rises

I think we knew this would happen the moment it was announced that Catwoman would be making an appearance in the last of Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight trilogy, but cats are making a bit of a splash in the fashion world. There's just something about felines- you can go from super cute to super sexy in a second with cat-inspired clothes, which is probably why people are eating them up. Here are my favorite cat-inspired picks:


wolf or rottweiler?

When I saw this Just Cavalli T-shirt I immediately thought of the infamous Givenchy Rottweiler T worn by literally everyone last year (Kanye, Rihanna, and every model off duty). People either loved or hated the shirt, and now it looks like Just Cavalli has its own canine shirt.

If you ask me, both shirts are a little over-priced (the Just Cavalli one retails at $195, and I'm sure the Givenchy one is even more) but if you are in to trendy tees, these are worthwhile investments.

So, are you a fan of the Cavalli Wolf or the Givenchy Rottweiler?

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?

Looking for an investment piece this fall? Take a fall staple (leather) and dye it a deep wine red. Dresses, jackets, bags -anything is fair game for this dynamic duo!
