I always say that I'm "having a fill-in-the-blank moment"...last fall I was having a navy blue moment, last summer I was having a maxi dress moment. And right now, I'm sort of having two moments at the same time. I keep catching bits of "Saturday Night Fever" on cable, which has fueled my '70's moment, and I've been working with a musician who is egging on my rocker moment...
In the '70's (for women at least...the men's fashion was just scary...), it was all about drapey sex-appeal, plunging necklines, slouchy bags, sky-high platforms and flowing caftans. Basically, all my favortie things. I always wish I could go back in time and head to Studio 54 just once...and honestly, it's really just so I could wear Halston for the evening. So when I saw this leather clutch with a tie-dye effect from Dulce, I immediately wanted to pair it with a silk-jersey jumpsuit and some serious gold platforms for a fabulous, '70's-inspired night out. It's wood handle gives it some heft and a cool dose of casual...so you could also easily pair it with flared jeans and a peasant top for a fabulous little lunch date.
And my other moment? I've been all about the rocker-chic lately. I'm completely obsessed with my shiny black leggings (and anything else black for that matter), have been piling on an overdose of studding, and secretly coveted every single piece from Stella Zotis' latest collection (see a couple posts below...). However, at heart I am still a little glam girl who loves bright prints and only wears gold jewelry. So when I saw this bracelet from my best-kept-jewelry-secret Banana Republic, I was in instant love. The studded grey suede is edgy, but the fact that the studs are both tiny and gold make it glamorous and feminine. I'm going to wear this with my massively oversized gold watch and fully expect it to become one of my (totally affordable!) signature pieces.
