Back to Classics

When it comes to shoes, it's all about the simple details that make the shoes look even more exquisite. For Chloé Fall Winter 2011, Hannah MacGibbon featured these shoes on the runway. A classic black patent leather pump with an added velvet bow tie. I thought this is aboslutely stunning. It's romantic and adorable. I'm just getting tired of those major high platform pumps, it is time to bring back the simple flat ball heel with a classic stiletto pump. Thank god Chloé doesn't fall the trends of what other designers do. These shoes would look flawless with a tight black long pencil skirt and a white/cream chiffon blouse top for a spin on a classic style.

One of the key pieces that stood out the most at the Chloé Fall Winter 2011 show was this over sized multi-block quilt print poncho. I thought this raved the Chloé name with a mix of Native American style and Menswear. Absolutely a bold statement to wear with anything underneath. This is totally a new direction for the French house of Chloé. The detailing of the stitching is beautifully crafted. I just wished more women are brave enough to wear something like this on any given day of the week. Hopefully I can find a similar style poncho to this.

Creative director Hannah MacGibbon for Chloé featured these stunning bucket shoulder bags that came in numerous color tones of: olive, beige, ivory, cognac, and different tones and textures of python skin. At first I wasn't really a huge fan of these handbags but after seeing it at the Fall Winter 2011 show, I am just going crazy about them. I know Coach has a very similar style like these bucket bags which they discontinue making them. I'm hoping that I can get my grab of a very similar style that I can use for this coming Spring. I think these bucket bags bring a utility and on the go type style that works perfectly with any look day look. I would personally wear a cognac/brown color with slate gray fitted trousers with a matching safari jacket for that cool and ease sensibility.
