Interesting Finds

Funky Footwear: Ashely Olsen in Louis Vuitton shoes at the 37th Annual Chaplin Award Gala in New York

Ashley Olsen took high heels to the next level in these Louis Vuitton high heels. These shoes look interesting enough on the catwalk, but I love seeing it out in broad daylight skipping down actual sidewalks. Unique...


Mary-Had-A-Little-Lamb: Olivia Palermo in Mulberry

Olivia Palermo in a Mulberry frock, studded pumps also by Mulberry, Topshop owl ring, and an Ann Taylor skinny woven belt (note: I love how the socialite still makes affordable purchases at Ann Taylor and Topshop -- one of her frequent shopping stops). Initially I was not so sure about the bottom half of the dress... honestly, I had a dash of inhibition. I could not figure out whether or not it was made of sheep wool or tulle. However, I am biased in terms of Olivia's always impeccable taste. The concept of the dress was a little clearer after I saw it on the Mulberry runway...
... for once, the black mixed with the neutral set on Olivia did not serve as neither beneficial nor edgy. The catwalk version with the nude booties, matching textured clutch, and high-fashion edgy up do' added a classy edge. The nude booties helped elongate rather than widen the model due to the "fluffy" effect of the skirt. Olivia's woven belt "bundles" up her waistline and cuts her height at the waistline -- giving her look a shortening effect. 

The runway version on the other hand retains the femininity while adding a little rock n' roll with her teased do'.
