Clean, crisp, and white

Keira wore another great dress from Erdem on Late Night with Seth Meyers while promoting The Imitation Game back in November. This dress has lots of texture and pattern to it. It has lots going on and yet it manages to be clean and crisp. Starting from the top, a design that reminds me of tiny sunflowers. This works into a high waisted skirt portion. The layered look is a replica from the purple Erdem she wore at the SAG this year, my favourite feature of the dress. I love the cut out feature throughout the bottom. Ends with a popping pair of red heels - makes the white dress even brighter.

Bend it Like Beckham

I love the shape of this outfit. Slant to the left with the top, slant to the right with the skirt. It's so balanced. The black top has an interesting shape. Half shoulder covered, half not. I think showing the arms highlights the shirt really well. I love the layered look to the skirt. Like a fall breeze is within it. Great use of boots to cover up the legs, for some reason I just think it looks better than exposed calves. Though this is an all black everything look, the different materials allow the black to play in different strengths of shine factor.

Summer Heat Meets Winter Chills via Fall Boots

Fall is a transition period from heat to cold and fashion reflects this. The airiness of the outfit is fitted with a pair of brown boots: summer moving into winter.

What really struck me with this Tory Burch number was the great use of colour. Red is a great middle ground to make black and brown work in the same palette. Plus the model's hair also plays into the palette. The single patterned stripe from the black work works nicely into a busy patterned skirt which leads to the simplicity of brown boots. The skirt reminds me of a vintage shawl, especially with the frills at the end.

Definitely a runway look I'd love to replicate.

Chalk coloured sidewalk

Busy working grownup meets child without a care in the world. I love the two worlds colliding. A great middle ground by D&G. The jacket is perfectly fitted with a great parallel button combo, open pockets and v-neck. Great for a Fall stroll.

On to the skirt. I love the colour and freedom. I instantly thought of a blank canvas like a sidewalk being awakened with beautiful, fun imagery. It provides a youthful vibe. Paired together with a gorgeous purse and black heels, the colours and focus stay on the skirt.

RTW blue flower shower

I am a sucker for floral. On top of that, blue floral and I am sold. I love this look for it's simplicity. It's a true RTW piece. Really enjoy the shower of blue and blue+white flowers. I like the leaves are there to add a contrast of black. The sleeves are a great wide width to complement the flow of the dress.
