I know I’m a little late on the game but I had to include something about Alexander McQueen’s Spring/Summer 2010 Campaign featuring Raquel Zimmermann. I just love this photograph!
The reptile collection as a whole, on the other hand, leaves me with mixed feelings. When I saw Camilla Belle I was in love but then Lily Cole, Noot Seear and Daphe Guiness showed up on the red carpet even before Anna Paquin shocked people in reptile at the SAG Awards. That’s the problem with such a recognizable print: you get sick of it very quickly. Still, if I could get my hands on one of the designs, I’m sure I would totally rock it. But the armadillo shoes? Not so much…

ttF Fashion Staples Series Diary: Super Bowl Sunday
I’m not a fan of this picture but I think it’s important for fashion bloggers to show all outfits—even on days when you’ve only gotten four hours of sleep. So is this my most stylish look? No. But it definitley worked for party in Santa Monica that temporarily turned into a frat house to watch the Saints win the game.

ttF Fashion Staples Series Diary: Chain Reaction
Tonight I attended Traver Rains’ The Ranch LA Exhibit presented by Gaudy PR. Traver, who is the co-designer of Heatherette with Richie Rich, was debuting a new line of t-shirts and showing his impressive photography skills. One side of the room featured his Montana series of models is stunning clothing shot in his home state (Traver’s brother even handmade the remarkable wood frames.)
My outfit ended up matching the other side of the room, filled with more provocative photographs of naked cowboys and a sexed up Aubrey O’Day.

ttF Fashion Staples Series Diary: National Wear Red Day
Wearing red today was a must to celebrate National Wear Red Day, a movement to show support for women’s heart disease. If you wore red today, too, Fashion Pulse Daily is having a contest through February 9th in support of the Go Red for Women campaign.
If you missed out, that’s okay. You can participate any day by downloading the Wear Red Day kit. I’ll be wearing red again next week when I attend Heart Truth’s Red Dress fashion show in New York. So feel free to show your support then and make sure you follow me on Twitter for up-to-the-minute updates from fashion week!

ttF Fashion Staples Series Diary: All Buttoned Up
Black pants and a white button-up often has the tendency to make you look like a waiter. But puff sleeves and a brooch—and a pop of orange at the wrist—take the outfit of catering territory.

ttF Fashion Staples Series Diary: Cirque du Style
I was meeting with some producers after work today about a possible reality show so I wanted to look professional, but still stylish with a small splash of sexy. My DvF dress is conservative but snug enough to show off my figure. And I glammed it up a bit by pinning a brooch to the black circus collar. Fingers crossed my look worked and I can tell you guys about the show soon!

ttF Fashion Staples Series: Black in Check
The greatest part about a long boyfriend cardigan is it doubles as a dress. I usually add a belt but it made the sweater a little too short for work. The tights were a pretty recent purchase. Aside from a Goldilocks Halloween costume, I hadn’t even thought about white legwear since grade school. But a friend told me how she likes to wear white tights with t-strap pumps and I was in Target and saw a pair for $5. I figured I’d give them a try and I ended up liking the way they look. Good things can happen when you take fashion chances.

ttF Fashion Staples Series Diary: Instant DIY
I’m still exhausted from Grammys weekend so I couldn’t put much effort into my outfit today. The soft cardigan went perfectly with my sleepy mood, ballet flat were ideal for walking to lunch at Black Dog and a sparkly colorful necklace pulled the look together. I bought these beads years ago and just pinned the brooch on two of the three strands to add a little more oomph.
