European and American,
our fashion takes
from both sides of the ocean.
Violetta of VM Creation Atelier,
who you will find here,
& I take a look at Fall fashions,
including accessories, and talk about how an American girl
would wear something and how her counterpart in Europe would dress.
Kinda fun isn't it?
Diane von Furstenberg Fall 2012
wonderful color combinations,
I'm really loving the tones of aubergines & navies livened up
with red and lime greens...
love the casualness of this look, so completely American,
imagine a little turtleneck under the blazer too...
adore the pegged leg of the pant.
& I think a high-heeled strappy sandal would be pretty with the red top.
long chains layered on...
this Alexander McQueen bag from Sak's 5th Avenue
seems perfect to me, not that furry thing on the model.
add this leather coat, this turtleneck, these glasses
& a great pair of sleek flat-heeled boots,
you've got an oh-so-totally-American look.
egads, this is getting so serious...
therefore...
I'll show you what we wear in Texas
well, not these hideous horrible shoes...
this is what we DO NOT WEAR in Texas,
even the gayest of our gay guys dress well.
2 phones, well, you know she's so busy...
& I think these rock !!
& this exemplifies American dressing,
from Donna Karan,
the spare leather top paired with the designer's signature draping skirt,
fabulous tone-on-tone handbag and shoes.
or this casually elegant ensemble with layers of dangling necklaces,
just so beautiful, the longer fuller leg pant, loafers...comfortable, can go anywhere.
please visit Violetta, I feel certain her creativity and fashion savvy will come
shining through...
