I'm more than a little obsessed with Philip Lim, and this season's collection does nothing to dissuade my infatuation. There's so much beauty and inspiration in the unique nuances Philip Lim is so adept at employing--I can't get enough of those unexpected elements. The collection is a beautiful contradiction of vintage and modern, anchored by navy, olive and maroon. Silhouettes from eras past duet with thoughtful details and pretty patterns that shine in striking colors. What I like about it: I can wear most of the pieces anywhere and never feel that I am over or under dressed.

Must Have (Besides, everything!): The Origami Trimmed Coat -Stunning in its simplicity! I love the gorgeous geometric print and the subtle military influence. This is a great piece because is suitable for both day and evening.

Must Have: Green Tiered Skirt-Wear this versatile piece with a long, slim cardigan or sleek blouse and kitten heels for work. Pair with a chunky knit sweater or a tee shirt and knee high boots for lunch with friends. I've coupled it with: a super soft, tissue weight turtleneck from J Crew, a striking pair of Louboutin ankle boots and my "item of the week" a glossy navy tote by Pringle of Scotland. I love the softness of Falke tights, and the set has the perfect colors to take you through the season. Add a Roberto Cavalli horn pendant necklace to complete the look.

I spent a while tracking down a lot of the items from the runway available for online purchase. Explore your favorite looks by clicking on anything that strikes your fancy including the runway photos. I added a few items from other designers to create a mix and match wardrobe based around the collection. I focused on pieces with interesting details. I hope you have fun checking out these fabulous frocks. Happy Shopping!

Hi Everyone!

Though I'm never fond of seeing summer go, I am really looking forward to autumn and of course, shopping! Fall is my favorite shopping season; I love all the chunky knits and rich weighty fabrics. (And the wonderful accessories that accompany them!) I also like the versatility of layering, and the way a great coat can breathe new life into old attire. What is on your wish list for fall? My list is miles long as you might imagine, but a pretty pair of gray boots is at the top of the queue along with: a leather pencil skirt, maroon stockings, a jewel tone cocktail dress and a fabulous statement coat…or two.
