Tory Burch Gold Kylie Dress
Posted on August 9, 2007 at 11:52 pm (PST) | Comments Off
I just read both Bergdorf Blondes and The Debutante Divorcee, both by Vogue contributor and fashion maven in the making, Plum Sykes. Plum and her twin sister Lucy are from Britain, but they’re part of the late 20s, early 30s New York social set that includes Tinsley Mortimer, Lauren Davis, and all those fantastically glamorous women, many of whom had their names used in Plum’s books. Those fictional characters wore some astoundingly glamorous outfits, and this Tory Burch Gold Kylie Dress is pretty much the type of thing I imagined they would wear. Tory Burch herself is part of this in-crowd, so it makes sense that she knows how to dress them. The flirty silk shift comes covered in metallic gold paillettes, making it shimmer in the evening and dazzle in the daytime. It’s $750 from Active Endeavors, so order it today if, like me, you’re mesmerized by impossibly chic New York socialites. It’s beyond!

If you haven’t picked up Vogue’s August issue, there is a great spread called, True to Form. Besides the most amazing sculpted shapes of the Fall season, every dress on every page is accessorized with gloves. In the most beautiful eye-popping shades they really make the outfits look polished. I love these Opera length leather gloves by Carolina Amato. These gorgeous gloves come in this great Purple color and are lined with 100% silk. Gloves like these will make any plain outfit something special!! Available at eluxury - $285.00
Lee Mathews: A Designer’s Designer

For those days when you just want to dress up and be pretty, Lee Mathews will come in hand. Hailing from Sydney, Australia, Mathews creates clothing of such great quality that each piece is unlikely to be found anywhere else in the world or perfectly the same as one in the same size. The reason why is that Mathews and her staff hand-dye and hand-sew all of the clothing themselves, along with help from some of the locals. Inspired by treasured vintage pieces, she crafts each piece with so much care that it could never be mass-produced in a factory. The Delaunay Jacket is proof of her skills. The fine details, the fabric, the lovely chocolate color, all show care and respect for craftsmanship. One would expect something so precious to be hyperexpensive, but this wonderful jacket is actually on sale for $199.
Wrapped in Crocodile

This is the powerhouse clutch for women to carry around this summer. Featured in both Harpers Bazaar and Vogue, B. Romanek’s Crocodile Clutch is supreme. In this deep midnight blue, this clutch is one long strip of crocodile skin that is wrapped around twice until it comes to a sharp point. One of the key features about this clutch is the sexy matching suede lining and magnetic closure. With so much character, this clutch needed to be priced at $1,865.
Suits Up

Who doesn’t love the dress and jacket suit ensembles that Christian Lacroix sends down the runway every Haute Couture season? So en vogue! Wearing a set would be sure to impress those who need to be impressed or for those days when you just feel like being fancy. However, you can have a more modern and simple set for a fraction of the price of Lacroix’s genius. Zambesi’s jacket and dress is exquisite when paired together, but that is not the only option you have; the rendezevous cropped jacket, $569, would look great with a pair of skinny jeans, a great simple top, and heels for a laidback cocktail. The matching corkscrew dress, $489, is simply chic when paired with a pair of Karen Walker sunglasses, perfect for work or a Sunday brunch.
