red leather pants

In 2011 I pledge to swap out some of the same old same ol' black leather pants for some red hot leather bitches. You heard it here first. Hold me to it?

Anyone else have fashion resolutions?

p.s. Elin's pants are from COS, jacket from DAGMAR, sweater from Acne, shoes from Margiela, sunglasses from Karen Walker. What a stunner that Elin.

Smitten over these feminine and statementy jewels. Sort of the perfect finish to a boring holiday dress, no?

chanel pre-fall 2011 paris-byzance

"The season's theme, Paris-Byzance, Lagerfeld explained, was inspired by the Empress Theodora and the lost culture of Byzantium. In typically rapid-fire mode, he noted: "Theodora was a circus artist who became empress, like Chanel, who was a little singer and became a fashion empress." Ba-domp-bomp! Mostly, however, the reference came via Coco's Byzantine-inspired Gripoix jewelry, which is instantly recognizable even today." - style.com

Ohhhhh Karl!

teatum jones

"This is the debut spring '11 collection of Teatum Jones - the brainchild of London-based designers Catherine Teatum and Rob Jones. The signature print that is woven throughout the collection manifests this idea in a mash-up of 17th century Spanish Baroque art motifs and microscopic human cell imagery. Though highly abstract and elaborately conceived (not to mention impeccably tailored), Teatum Jones' pieces also embody a certain effortlessness in the sleek, billowy, incredibly easy-to-wear silhouettes, plus the gorge sandblasted silk is super luxe and ridiculously comfy." -Refinery 29

OMDrapery!

the next generation of outfit bloggers: editors

Watch out outfit bloggers - looks like editor outfit postings are on the rise!

Not only has Refinery 29 launched a "What We're Wearing" column in which R29 editors and interns share their outfits but Joanna Hillman, Bazaar's senior fashion market editor (and street style aficionado), is embarking on a similar month-long style journey called "Joanna's Wardrobe Diaries: 30 Days of Style." Through December, Joanne is posting her daily looks and shares what she’s wearing and how she puts it all together.

If this trend continues, I can only hope that Marie Claire follow suit starting with my fave - accessories editor Taylor Tomasi-Hill.

What do you think, can magazine and online editors become the next generation of outfit-blogger-superstars?

les perles de chanel

Looky looky, it's Chanel's Spring 2011 nail polish lineup! Les Vernis in Pearl Drop, Black Pearl and Peche Nacree.

"Gabrielle ‘Coco’ Chanel believed the light-reflecting property of pearls enhanced a woman’s natural beauty by bringing a delicate luminosity to her skin. Peter Philips, Global Creative Director of CHANEL Makeup, captures this quality in a radiant Spring 2011 Collection, LES PERLES DE CHANEL. Pearlized shades of black and white are accented with pinks and corals, brightening the complexion and creating a natural glow."

Ohhh that Coco! The polish will be available in January on Chanel.com and Chanel counters for $23. And on that note, I need a mani.
