Dazzle with tassels

Since I have loved the Lanvin looks on the red carpet this past season, I was intrigued to see their Fall Collection. This look is a great RTW option. I like the business formal meets boots duo, adds a rockin' vibe. Love the high waist which is complemented by the perfect length of the blazer. And of course the tassels, just to add that little something extra.

You can't talk about the Oscars without the queen herself. I absolutely love when an actress opts for something other than a haute couture gown. There's something powerful about it. Lanvin once again creates this great ensemble. A great combination of classic pieces each with a unique flare. The skirt is sleek and sultry with the slit. The belt brings us from sleek to flowy with the top. All this paired with a great blazer. I like that it is larger and longer to connect to all the pieces. I usually love some dash of colour when it comes to a black+white outfit, but I think the difference in shades of black compensate well for it.

Business formal

Searching through the autumn/winter collection as I take a break from applying to jobs, a business piece popped out at me. This stunning black jacket from Alexander McQueen would be perfect for a networking event. The conservative black is lined with velvet to create an hourglass figure. The bow has a unique element of satin and sparkle. I love the plunging neckline for a modern spin. The most perfect jacket. Aside: with adjustments to the neckline or the right shirt beneath, perhaps the Duchess may try this.
