Victoria Young | Back to School Inspiration

With NYFW only two-and-a-half weeks away, all the amazing back to school editorials and all the buzz about Marc Jacobs going to Dior, this image of Victoria after the Miu Miu FW11 show popped into my head. You see, I'm currently in search of a cool varsity jacket for fall's first cool breezes. And, a pair of Mary Jane/good girl pumps like these Louis Vuitton honeys that Victoria snapped up post show will contrast the stilettos that I wear on the nights when I'm not so nice (wink). And if SS12 is indeed Marc's last collection for Louis Vuitton, then it's time to acquire a memento or two.

Ruby Aldridge | Off-Duty Perfection

Ruby perfects a staple model's "off-duty" look of t-shirt and cut-offs with a vintage denim jacket.

Chic Neutrals In Milan

For the Milan Men's SS12 we saw lots of luxe neutrals including sands, beach-stone greys and various hues of clay. This image brings the color factor home to me. But, it's the way that she effortless combines this summer's best womenswear trends that really impresses me. Her floppy hat, the soft silhouette of her over-all look, the voluminous blazer, the soft trousers, the over size clutch (the bag in her other hand is the cherry) and these sick sick transparent wedges scream "I'm kicking some A$$ with my chicness."

Anya Ziourova | My Kind of Tomboy

Anya looks gorgeous in anything she wears. I love her in this beautiful Celine button-down and these grey jeans. Her shoes are amazing! Lots of inspiration here for the tomboy in us all!

But wait a minute. Doesn't her look actually make you think "tomboy grown up?" Like, it's essentially what we wore when we were teenagers. But, the jeans are definitely much tighter and the sandals too high and dainty, a fashion situation which we would have scoffed at for being too feminine. However, now that we are all grown up and have become fully acquainted with the benefits of being women, body con jeans (skinny) and killer heels have a different, very sweet-not rotten ring. No? Don't you agree? In fact, I like the sound of "sexy tomboy" personally. I like it a lot. Today at age 35, sexy tomboy is the only tomboy that I want to be.
Have a lovely weekend. Lots of kisses with a punch.

Natuka Karkashadze | Couture Casual Chic

Stylist Natuka Karkashadze's pearl-adorned, cutout sleeves and printed embellished trousers were a perfect look for the couture shows. She definitely set the tone for couture casual chic. Brava!

Stunning T-back Jumpsuit

I'm having a jumpsuit moment this weekend. Here is a pant version with a stunning "T" back.

Claire Thomson-Jonville | Little easy black play suit

Paired with killer Vanessa Bruno wedges and Alexander Wang's Rocco satchel, Claire steps out in full stride in this chic little black play suit.

Marcela Jocobina | Menswear meets boudoir-inspired

Menswear meets boudoir-inspired, one of my absolute favorite ways to mix masculine and femine dress. Plus, Marcela's ladylike handbag and derby bloots totally play their part. Sweet where needed, but with some kick-ass too. It's like she's saying, "I wear the proverbial pants in this fashion situation."

Marcela writes the blog London Loves Me.

Stephanie LaCava | Little black riding hood

Stephanie's little hooded black dress with white piping detail is playfully chic. But, do you see her custom-made ankle cuffs? Fetish glam, love it! I'd say good girl gone bad. ;-))

Andrea Porro | Stylish Growl

It's all about a stylish growl, Andrea Porro in a Givenchy Fall 11 Rottweiler t-shirt.

Aurora Sansone | Perfect for Summer

In a colorful Aquilano Rimondi floral dress styled with starfish earrings and crystal petal sandals, Aurora, in her signature maxi length, is Summer perfection! Her heart pendant is also super sweet.
