ttF Fashion Staples Series Diary: Romantic Ruffles
I completely forgot about this skirt when I was planning July’s staples. I would have used it instead of the cutoffs. It’s a different take on denim, with the pencil shape and flirty ruffles. And whenever I wear it I feel coyly sexy. The tiered top only upped the ruffle factor.
I didn’t want to compete with the rose gold embellishment on my shoes. So, I skipped the gold and silver jewelry and instead went for more subtle quartz. My friend Dahvi—as well as Spencer Pratt—is all into the meaning of these energy stones. I just think they look pretty. Although, I will admit, every since she brought me back a “transitional stone” from New York, good things have been happening.

ttF Fashion Staples Series Diary: BBQ Sparkle
Memorial Day weekend has been a fabulously fun end to May. I had planned to wear this outfit to a bbq tonight but I never made it out of my bikini. Yes, the day was that fun. But I figured I might as well post it since I put it together this morning with intentions to sparkle while eating burgers under the stars.

ttF Fashion Staples Series Diary: Farmer Chic
When worn under a skirt, American Apparel’s spandex dress acts almost as shapewear. It certainly made me feel better in my linen skirt! I initially layered with a cardigan but since I always wear cardis, I switched it up last minute with a button-down. It reminded me of one of my favorite movies, when Amber in Clueless says of Tai, “She could be a farmer in those clothes.” Granted, no farmers I know wear ruffles and pumps but the shirt certainly gave my outfit a country feel.

Rebecca Taylor is one of my favorite designers to wear. She’s just so incredibly feminine and girlie—and she used faux fur for fall. Major plus.
I just came across this video I did at fashion week with Fashion Luvr Rob, reviewing the show in under a minute. It made me crave some new pieces from the designer. Below are some of faves currently available. Mena Suvari was wearing the jumpsuit with a floral belt and matching booties at the show.
ttF Fashion Diary: Winter Florals
Happy Valentine’s Day! To tell you the truth, I actually forgot about the holiday because all that’s on my mind is fashion this week. But when I remembered it was heart day, I decided to take my daily photo in the Heart Truth booth at the tents, posing with a dress Fergie wore in a past show.
Since I was seeing Rebecca Taylor in the morning, I wore one of my favorite pieces I own from the designer and I threw my hair into Spring’s trendy side braid after it refused to cooperate.
Like usual, Rebecca made me want just about every piece in her collection and I was beyond thrilled she went faux in this fur-filled season. Luca Luca was also a highlight today. There was so much movement in the gowns and pleated skirts. I was under-impressed with Hervé Léger but overly impressed with Malandrino. Catherine Malandrino went tribal ultra luxe for fall with textured leathers, leopard, cavewoman chic jewelry and killer platform shoes. The blue velvet look below was my fave at the presentation.

Sunday afternoon I’ll be attending Rebecca Taylor’s Fall 2010 show. Here’s a sneak peek:
The fall 2010 collection was inspired by a mixture of 70’s Parisian attitude and an urban New York City girl. With a renewed love for classic sportswear, silhouettes have been re-worked with a twist to give subtle edge on signature feminine designs. The palette includes dusty hues and new neutrals contrasted with military olives and hints of old gold. Fabrics are washed to provide a worn, overly-loved appeal and are combined with cashmere wool suits, leopard faux furs and down quilted coats, together giving this collection an affordable luxe quality.
