What I'm Wearing: Summer Lovin'

Tanks by Elizabeth and James
Earrings at Planet Blue

I am always bringing my blazer with me wherever I regardless of the temp outside. It is my 'go to' piece and I have quite a few! I've been rocking this style all summer long and those are the BEST boots EVER! I wear them practically everyday!
xo,
Erin.

Rose Byrne. Love her.

Did you know?

Did you know that all of labels and care labels are screen printed onto recylced and fabric remains from previous collections? Waste not.

Met Gala.

The lovely, Hilary Rhoda, sporting the honorable man of the evening, Alexander McQueen. She was one of the few to go short. I love how this jacket combination drapes and the white is beautiful with her pomegranate lip shade!

Oh Wednesday Addams! How this screams Met Gala to me! Christina is wearing a very intricate piece of art by Zac Posen. I love how she is completely covered by not at the same time plus the giant mermaid tail in textures of black lace, taffets and what not is just amazing. Just wish her hair was slicked all the way back!

My new favorite red carpet love, Emma Stone(so funny in Easy A!) totally rocked this Lanvin frock! She was one of the few that actually wore a bold print! The silhouette is always flattering and I love the mini train. Her pink lip is a great touch and those earrings are to die for!

Model, Jessica Stam, wears Tommy Hilfiger like a dream! I love how the hemline is so subtle and that you can,of course, see her awesome heels! I love her full bouncy curls and her glimmering touches of jewelry are beautiful touch!

Of course, SJP would be on here! She is wearing Alexander McQueen(she has in the past-remember her and Lee wearing plaid!) and looks stunning! Fitted, long and look at that intricate bead work! Her hais is perfect for this look!

Look at lovely Liv sporting a custom Givenchy by Riccardo Tischi. I love how the dress is completely textured but keeps her svelte and chic and plus the ombre effect is stunning! She ties it all together with the bold yellow clutch with relaxed hair and make-up! She always makes everything look so effortless! Loves!

Shalom Harlow wearing Marchesa, which never disappoints! Sheer, volume, texture, ahhh so much I love it! The hair and makeup top this off beautifully!

Ok Diane Kruger is my absolute favorite! On pretty much any and every red carpet! I love love her!! Her hair is so old Hollywood with a modern twist ad her make-up let's her eyes speak and a red lip is always gracious on her! She is wearing the brilliant Jason Wu. Loving the embellishment of the nude top and that black high, high slit! It is absolutely gorgeous! She looks great!


Ok so those were my top for Met Gala 2011! I will definitely post more later on color! Plus my favorite couple from the Met Gala! Who were your favorites?
I hope everyone has a great day!
Cheers, Erin.

Abigail Breslin.

Wow, look who is all grown up?? Abigail Breslin looks great in Elizabeth & James top, jean and red peep toes at Tribeca Film Festival in NYC and then wearing Alice + Olivia at a dinner hosted by A+O designer, Stacey Bendet. Loving her new blonde locks too!

Picnic + Dinner.

How awesome is this? These paper bag inspired clutches are made from italian leather and comes in variety of colors with a hidden magnetic closure. The bigger style is referred to as Dinner and the smaller, Picnic. How appropriate. Need to have ASAP.

You can still purchase the Nire` T-shorts and tote bags on our site beginning Monday April 18!
These are a few photos for you to get a sneak peek of our Fall 2011 collection! Next week there will be 2 select pieces from our Fall 2011 collection on our website for you to purchase before... well everyone else! Keep a look out for that announcement!

Orange You Ready?

Wedges by Tabitha
Clutches by Rebecca Minkoff

...with spring a stones throw away, bright colors are already in our horizon. One of my personal faves are the energizing shades of fresh squeezed citrus juice...Mix and match all of these for a refreshing introduction to spring. Enjoy!

Oscar. Party.

Ok I was a little underwhelmed (exception- Mila Kunis...loved the lavender) with the Oscar red carpet this year. It was the Oscar after party and/or viewing party red carpets I was loving. Emma Stone looks amazing in the Chanel. I love different.
Happy Monday!
