There’s this dilemma in every fashionista’s lives.  What to wear that’s laid back enough for the weekend, but appropriate enough to lunch or dine in a nice restaurant?  Most of us get lazy and turn into the boring black.  Black leggings, black caftan… and before you know it, the sunny weekend will turn gloomy.  So lighten up, and by lighten up we don’t mean go with neon colors, we mean be a cool, calm and classy weekender.  Check this Box Pleated Dress by Brian Reyes.  Notice the pleat details ending in a sweet bow on the waist.  The plunging neckline screams sexy, but balanced by the elbow-length sleeves.  Wear it with your sexy stilettos or classy Chanel ballet flats.

Okay people, it’s time for that transitional dressing and it’s now making perfect sense to wear something a little bit short but still have enough cover for that chilly wind.  So today we picked a vintage jersey dress from Mike & Chris Stetson, which would bring the cuteness of 80′s casual look, but still looked like it came down from the recent Fashion Week runway.  Wear it with your highest heels or your trendy gladiator flats, it goes with almost anything in your closet.

A lady should never forget to wear accessories.  If you’re applying Coco Chanel’s principle of taking off one piece of jewelry before you leave the house with your ‘final’ look, feel free to do so, but never take this one off.  Pair the classic cuteness with a cute piece from Tom Binns, the Effleurer Gold Cuff, which imitates the fluid form of a leaf.  It’s simple, elegant, but you won’t believe how much attention it will get you.

Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen did well with their Spring ’09 collection from Elizabeth and James.  That’s right, we’re loving their feminine design and bold accessories.  And we can’t wait for their shoe collaboration with Steve Madden to drop, but for now, these beautiful creations will do.

We feel like being bold today, as history is happening: we have a new President in office.

However it’s still hours to the Inaugural Ball and we’re still imagining what we’ll wear if we’re invited.  Something conservative?  Err… nope.  Something flowy?  So last year.  Animal prints?  Too wild. Something mini?  Too cold outside.  We have to wear something!  Oh well, we’ll just catch one of the many afterparties ‘coz we’re in love with this dress.
