ttF Fashion Staples Series Diary: Burberry’s 3D Debut
Burberry Prorsum made fashion history tonight when the label live-streamed its Fall 2010 collection around the world. I was lucky enough to be invited to the Los Angeles event, hosted by The Daily Beast’s Tina Brown, at Milk Studio. Because of the time zone difference, we were the only city that didn’t see the show while Kate Hudson, Kristen Stewart, Mary-Kate Olsen and Claire Danes watched in London from the front row.
My blazer and new lia sophia chain and pearl necklace took me from the office straight to the event—and matched oh so well with the 3D Burberry glasses we were given for our virtual front row seat. And it took me long enough but I finally am taking a liking to the over the knee boot. Burberry’s leather ones for fall were absolutely killer. And they didn’t look trashy whatsoever since they were paired with knee-length skirts and covetable outerwear.

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.

Trenches
There were many trench coats on the runway in New York, but none compared to the beauties shown at Burberry Prorsum’s 25th anniversary show. I still love my classic black Burberry raincoat that saved my life during the year I spent in London, but these pastel beauties were to die for, especially the lavender one.

Models Alexa Chung and Hilary Rhoda celebrated “Burberry Day” in New York wearing the exact same blue Burberry dress. But the way they styled it shows the versatility of a feminine sheath. It can look edgy and cool when paired with a rolled-up blazer, studded belt and platform booties. Most hipsters have this combo down pat. But I’m more of a Charlotte than a Carrie so I prefer Hilary’s classic look: a thin black belt and a fabulous pair of Manolos.

From New York to Paris, designers accessorized their models with stacks of bangles. The bracelets are much chunkier than last year’s trend. Chloe Sevigny showed off Louis Vuitton’s tribal chic bangles over New Year’s, leading me to find inexpensive options to get her look. But I still haven’t had a chance to go to Forever 21. So, last night I decided to try to make due with what is already in my jewelry chest.
I discovered bracelets I haven’t worn for years! I’m embarrassed to say it, but sometimes you have to be told something is en vogue to want to wear it again. I was specifically inspired by the way Marc Jacobs mixed ethnic pieces with decadent gold for the Marc Jacobs and Louis Vuitton runway.
After about 30 minutes of trying different combinations, this what I cam up with: (Side note: You might not want to spend as long as I did trying on bracelets. It took two hours for the red to go away on my wrists!)
Oh, and my dog, Bunny, liked playing with the bangles too!
