Sucession Spring 2012 Lookbook

I was recently introduced to the L.A. based label Secession.  While the collection is for most part casual luxe t-shirt dressing I was most attracted to the eye-catching linear graphics that are inspired by the designer, Sharlene Durfey's own photography, vintage textile collections and love of graphic design.

Introducing Everly (Full Lookbook)

I was recently introduced to the L.A. based label Everly just a few weeks back and was charmed by the  simple, feminine looks that were designed by 2 sisters.  Iwas completely surprised when I later learned that the price point of the collection is well under $100 with pieces starting at just $46 for a dress!  The collection incorporates easy-to-wear wardrobe staples in animal prints, graphic chevrons, dots and zig zag stripe.

Although there are a couple of body con dresses most of the silhouettes skim over the body giving plenty of room for eating, moving and just life in general.  Everly just exudes that effortless kind of pretty but not trying to hard attitude that could take you from the everyday to a great date night look.

Meghan Los Angeles Fall 2011

A few weeks ago I went to a clothing preview where I had the chance to be introduced to the collection Meghan LA by Meghan Fabulous, the LA based designer who discovered her passion for design at an early age.  After finding her way to NYC and attending F.I.T, Meghan followed up with an apprenticeship at the CDFA, which enabled her to have mentorship, & work with noted fashion designers Calvin Klein, Bill Blass, Todd Oldham & Versace.  The designer is already a fave amongst celebrities like Kristen Bell, Mena Suvari, Bai Ling, Kimora Lee Simmons, Ke$ha and more.

I was attracted to the Boho glam 70s feel of the collection especially with the gold and silver sequin, the whimsical sleeves the bell sleeves and all the lace/satin in gold, ivory and black.  Maybe it was the colors or maybe it was the Mongolian lamb or the soft and feminine design details that are given a slight rock-&-roll edge  but I couldn’t help but think Kate Hudson in Almost Famous.

I also loved how detail heavy every piece is without being over the top.  Metallic applique lace looks so right on a graphic little babydoll cami, Candy color beads add flair to a simple little black tank and even distressed holey tank tops are given new life with the addition of colored stitching and beads.

Meghan Los Angeles can be found in boutiques & department stores worldwide including Henri Bendel, Nordstroms, Neiman Marcus, Kitson, Intermix, Bughatti/Dubai & Beymen/Egypt & Istanbul.  You can also buy Meghan LA online at MeghanShop.com.
