Hello, my Style Star Sisters. Yes, I admit I absolutely love the fall season. The plethora of fabulous jackets, wraps, leathers, and suedes are definitely among my favorite pieces to wear on those brisk days. I think outerwear is by far one of the most important pieces to invest in. Think about it! You have several months to play with textures, shapes, colors and lengths. The options are endless. 

Fashion icons …How to dress like your                            style icons

 Recently, we lost one of my favorite actresses, Diahann Carroll.  

Even at a young age while watching Julia, I was mesmerized by her classic, sophisticated style, and her ever-present confidence. Besides my beautiful mother, (pic below)

Brenda, who had endless sophistication and style, and Diana Ross, I always wanted to emulate them and show up as my best self. So, I started thinking what would my beloved style icons wear this season? I have selected a few fabulous lux and affordable pieces that are sure to turn heads even on a chilly day.  

                       Fee-Fi Faux Fur

I absolutely love a swing coat. It is hands down my go-to favorite accessory for fall. Check out this lovely faux wrap.

 I think going with the navy is best. I can see all my ladies rocking this lovely Ellen Tracy wrap coat. This is a great piece for chilly days. I’m sure my mom and Ms. Carroll would approve. It can be found on the Lord & Taylor site for around $180. 

                    Fabulous tweeds

I love the classic Chanel tweed jackets. I want them all! St. John knits are the best to show timeless sophistication. Unless you find these luxury pieces at a really good consignment shop or designer sale, you will pay thousands. Don’t fret my style stars. You can easily find great lookalikes for a fraction of  the cost. Check out my selections below. 

This Zara find is $129 and great for an office party or night out.

 If you want to splurge on some designer finds, I think St. John’s is a smart choice. 

 This St. John metallic tweed jacket is over $400. It’s truly gorgeous.  You can wear this with pants, a skirt, or jeans. Sometimes style stars, a luxury item is a good investment if you can wear it for many seasons and several ways. 

This St. John’s knit jacket I saw this past weekend at Off Saks Fifth Avenue. It is on sale now for $729.99. 

Now,  back to more affordable finds. 

This is one of my favorite finds. A faux chinchilla wrap is perfect. And, check out the price of $79.99. A real bargain. 

The options are plentiful if you want to dress like a diva. Remember, you don’t  have to go broke to look like a million bucks. 

Your Style Star Sister,

Natasha

Hi my style  star sisters! I hope you have all enjoyed your summer. Now, throw those flip flops in the back of the closet after you shake off the sand from St. Tropez. It’s time to get back to some serious business. Which, of course, is “What will I wear for fall and spring?” This is the question every fashionista asks themselves everyday. Well, style stars no need to pull out your hair extensions. I have the answer for your next wardrobe and her name is Beverley Olivacce. 

Beverley Olivacce 

I had the pleasure of watching the creative magic of Beverley Olivacce at her champagne flowing show. This lovely London born designer knows exactly what every woman should have in her closet. Her pieces are sophisticated, ultra- feminine and timeless. I will share some of my favorite pieces.  

Casual Elegance

I loved the white casual denim suit styled with a glittery top. This can easily be worned day or night. Check out the belted trench coat and trench dress.  Always a timeless piece every woman should own.  

This cute lbd has side cut outs. It can be worn with sneakers, but a black sandal  will elevate this look. 

LUXE 

Beverley Olivacce is known for her evening wear. And, she did not disappoint with her colorful silk dresses and fur trimmed pieces. 

These dresses are truly timeless and sophisticated. So, style star sisters, checkout Beverley Olivacce’s collection for some of the best luxury dresses around. Go to http://www.BeverleyOlivacce.com and get holiday ready ladies!

Ok my Style Star Sisters, we are officially in the fall season. And, I must admit I love the transition from summer dresses to jackets, wraps, and boots. This season I noticed a trend with the color white. That’s right, white! For years, fashion mags and stylists warned us to stay away from white after Labor day.  Let’s just say, throw that rule out.  Embrace white as if it’s the new black. While you consider this color trend, I found a few pieces on how to mix white into your fall looks.

DRESSES 

I really love this dress from AQ/AQ. This is called the Pembroke midi structured dress. I love the sexy details. It really does have a great architectural look. At $162.50, this would be great for dinner or a holiday party.

Now, AQ/AQ has another sexy white dress that I will have to grab before it’s sold out. This dress below is called the Aphaea one sleeve mini dress for $156.00.

I would pair this with a high heel bootie as shown below.

For those who just want to add a little white to your ensemble opt for a cool bootie. I happen to love what the designer Schultz has for the season. This bootie has a great silver metal toe and a cowboy cut  detail. This adds a fresh sophisticated look. Available on line now at Schultz. 

Rosangela bootie

 Hayden 

This is another Schultz find called the Hayden. The lower heel is still sexy, but the stitched detail is eye catching. Available for $300 now on line.

 

Weekend Max Mara coat

This is the splurge item from Max Mara. I love the cream color, sleek collar, and belt.  The classic and sophisticated piece is timeless. This above item is called the Gimmy wool belted coat. At $850, it may be a great investment piece.

Etsy 

Of course as a budget fashion gal, I found a great affordable white coat with a wide collar and belt. This is very stylish. Honestly, I like it more than the Max Mara coat. At $179.50, you don’t have to go broke to look fabulous. Just check Etsy or to Constantine fashion. 

Venus

I happen to like Venus’ white coat  with faux leather details. Now, this is such a specific piece that I wouldn’t wear it every day. But, for just $69.99, it goes well with leggings and boots. This is a cute look on a sunny fall day.

Jumpsuits

I am in love with this jumpsuit. The slight wide legs and belt adds a sophisticated sexy look. You can find this cool classy jumpsuit on the Maykool website for just $25.99.

Another great jumpsuit I found has an attached cape. The details are amazing. One would think you spent alot. But, this is only $35.95 and can be found on the ChicMe site.

So my style stars, I say go for white stand out pieces. Be bold and remember, you don’t have to break the bank to look fabulous!

Your Style Star Sister,

Natasha
