I don't think we've done one of these in a while...and I'm totally procrastinating on getting this discovery done..


 


1.  Favorite "affordable" designers?


Nanette Lepore, Theory, DVF, Elie Tahari


 


2.  Favorite big-time designers?


Chanel, Missoni, Luisa Beccaria


 


3.  Favorite basics


J. Crew


 


4.  Favorite Icons


Catherine Deneuve.  The woman makes everything look good!  Audry Hepburn - because I have brown hair and love ballet flats!


5.  Favorite current dressers


I don't really have one.  I feel like so many people dress the same (I guess I'm not too into the whole big stylist thing) but I generally like what Michelle Williams and Zoey Deschanel wear.  They always look pretty and not like they try too hard.


6.  Favorite pieces


(this changes from season to season, but right now...)  My Cole Haan tall Air Austen boots - perfect and comfy for the weekends, but I can still get away with them at work.  My Paul & Joe kimono top...so pretty and fun...I can wear it to work and feel all pretty and ethereal.  My DVFs.  Those three dresses work so hard all year round. 


7.  Favorite brand of jeans


As represented in my closet, Joe's and Seven are currently tied.  I love the Seven boycut as a flattering straight leg, and love my Joe's socialites for a good jean with heels.


8.  Favorite shoes


My leopard Choos.  They are hot and they make me feel hot when I wear them.  Plus, my cats think they are teeny animals and try to nuzzle them.  It's cute.  A close second would be my tall, pointy black boots.  They are Cole Haan and really comfortable, yet still very hot.


9.  Favorite weekend look


Either a skirt or jeans and flats with a long sleeve tee and a fun necklace. 


10.  Favorite Colors


Teal, all shades of pink, peach, purples with warm undertones and greys.


11.  Wardrobe holes


I've been working on the patterned top problem, and I think things should be back in balance by the end of this year.


12.  Favorite jewelry


(other than my wedding/engagement rings) my black pearl pendant and my coral beads.  I wear those beads a ridiculous amount, but they look so good, especially with green.


 


Feel free to add categories that I've forgotten!

1.  Favorite "affordable" designers?


Rachel Pally, Mike & Chris, DVF, Development, 3.1 Phillip Lim, Betsey Johnson (she's nuts and I LOVE it, you can tell people like her are just full of joie de vivre) 


2.  Favorite big-time designers?


Marc Jacobs, Moschino, Zero Maria Cornejo, Thakoon, Chanel, Matthew Williamson 


3.  Favorite basics


Rachel Pally dresses (I bought 4 with me), Park Vogel cashmere tee, Juicy merino wool hoodie, J. Crew wifebeaters.


4.  Favorite Icons


I don't really do icons...I need to do History of Fashion 101.


5.  Favorite current dressers


Rachel Bilson, hands down. Gwen Stefani's second


6.  Favorite pieces


Mike & Chris hoodies, Grey Ant scarf dress, French Connection kimono-style wool jacket.


7.  Favorite brand of jeans


I like AG, Joe's, and Taverniti So. I'm eagerly dying to try Rag and Bone...I'm planning on hauling ass to Blue Genes while in the ATL. I guess I'll be better off answering the question later.


8.  Favorite shoes



  • Black leather Chanel Ballet flats

  • Chocolate suede Frye Bari slouch boots

  • Converse sneakers that I can't bear to throw away, even as they enter year 4 with me....they're just so wonderfully broken in!

9.  Favorite weekend look


What I wore last weekend milling around the ATL



  • Mike & Chris Oliver trench hoodie

  • royal blue UO graphic tee w/Marie Antoinette.

  • Anthro/Marimekko skirt

  • chocolate suede Frye Bari suede boots

  • UO green canvas tote w/floral graphic

  • Bebe charm earrings

10.  Favorite Colors


Burgundy/plum is a perennial favorite. People keep telling me that it's my color.


I also like greens, most pinks, black, brown, and a good burnt orange/rust.


11.  Wardrobe holes


Since I couldn't bring everything to the ATL with me and I have a walk in closet here I feel I like have a wardrobe hole everywhere.


The big ones are:



  • boots: especially flat ones for kicking around. I'm convinced I'll be saying this until I'm dead. I love knee high boots but boots don't love my calves.

  • jeans: they're all falling apart. I stopped buying jeans when I went business casual, but now I need them again!

  • going out tops: I never go clubbing or anything, so I definitely don't have much of this stuff.

12.  Favorite jewelry


jlear's heart charm necklace, my new Behnaz for Target NYC charm bracelet, white gold/diamond studs.


13. Next purchase


Jeans! I feel like I have no jeans! Must buy jeans!

1.  Favorite "affordable" designers?
Qualifier: people in this category are only affordable because they show up regularly at my Loehmann's marked down from retail price by like 70%. So, that would be: theory, Nanette Lepore, Rebecca Taylor, BCBG, Laundry. Not especially affordable but not the most expensive things on earth: Catherine Malandrino, Vince (love their knits), Michelle Mason, Twelfth Street. Found a great line at Loehmann's the other day that I'd never heard of, Wyeth. I could have bought everything! 


2  Favorite big-time designers?
Chanel, Chloe, Marni, Temperley, Gucci. 


3.  Favorite basics
t-shirts and turtlenecks.


4.  Favorite Icons
I really do have to say Audrey Hepburn, but I'm mostly thinking of her in Breakfast at Tiffany's, so that has a lot to do with my love for a lot of those incredibly classic sixties clothes.


5.  Favorite current dressers
Definitely Rachel Bilson. I don't like everything she wears, but when I do I LOVE it, and she always looks like herself.


6.  Favorite pieces
black H&M sweater (it's magical, it looks a bazillion times classier than it has any right to); red silk halter dress; pewter Botkier; new off-black Nanette Lepore fancy jeans.


7.  Favorite brand of jeans
Joe's.


8.  Favorite shoes
Brown python-trim Max Studio peep-toes, BR ballet flats.


9.  Favorite weekend look
Jeans, t-shirt or t-neck layered with something, and pretty flats.


10.  Favorite Colors
Right now I'm really into neutrals, especially gray, and navy. Have also been rediscovering how wonderful black can be.


11.  Wardrobe holes
Dressy clothes, evening shoes, jewelry, evening bags. I almost never have any reason to dress up, but since I started my new job, my boss has been sending me to cocktail-hour events and I've been scrambling to come up with stuff that I think looks polished enough.


12.  Favorite jewelry
My mother's wedding ring and my baroque-looking tiger eye pendant necklace.


13. Next Purchase
Dark polished-looking skinny jeans and possibly dark brown knee boots.

Casual skirt, top, some sort of interesting jewelry, sandals/flats
