Introducing Kassandra – but you can call her Disco K. We met at a Halloween party this week (wink! wink!) and she stopped by the Stiletto City Studio to film her take on the popular “What’s In My Purse” videos!

Pair a Modcloth “Following Dreams” sweater* with its cheeky geometric print of stripes and polka dots with skinny jeans* and a bright pop of color in the form of orange wedges.* Top with a scarf* in matching orange – sure to keep you snug as the weather turns cooler! Don’t forget a touch of jewelry with bold, mock safety pin earrings.* Designer Betsey Johnson adds her own flair of fun to a wristlet purse* in the shape of a taxi cab!

That’s definitely the case with What Katie Did Lingerie – the retro-inspired lingerie brand that recreates the sexy looks of silver screen starlets of the ‘40s and ‘50s. They recently paired with one of my favorite vintage reproduction designers, ReVamp Vintage, for a fashion show unlike any other.
Click the video below to see the show!
The catwalk took the form of a classic burlesque routine. Models provided a seductive but elegant and playful tease – we’re keeping it PG folks! – showing off ReVamp dresses and pantsuits on the outside, then stripping down to their What Katie Did Lingerie underneath. It was a great way to showcase both designers – and as expected, the crowd went wild!

It’s usually a combination of looks I’ve always been attracted to: punk, mod, elegant vintage and modern trends. Today I was feeling some punky women’s fashion. With the weather turning cooler, it’s time to pull out a fluffy, faux-fur vest, pencil skirt and some fun checkered boots. I added a funky statement necklace and bold lipstick.
Vest purchased at TopShop London. Boots from Amazon.com.

I have to hand it to fashion designers – it’s not easy getting a collection off the ground and putting on a show. I attended shows nearly every night of the weeklong affair and saw so many pretty and unique takes on style for the 2014 Spring/ Summer season for women’s fashion.
Many of the shows were major productions with music acts and performance artists coming out between runway walks. It was awe-inspiring to see the slinky professional models doing their best catwalk but I also enjoyed the more edgy vibe of Mad Girl Productions’ Sugar Art & Fashion Show where the models were encouraged to show a little rebel personality or do some wild primal dances (it does make it a little harder to get pictures of the clothes however!)
Click here to see a video of my three tops picks for designs I would most want to own: Sue Wong, Nuvula, and Emily Daccarett.
Here is some of the eye candy from the week:

LA Fashion Week has been happening all over Tinsel Town this week with fashion shows from Downtown to Hollywood. My dance card has been rather full trying to hit as many events as possible to check some well-known and emerging designers. Lots of women’s fashion ideas for Spring/Summer 2014. Each event has been its own creative feast for the eyes and I must say the people watching in the audience has been almost as entertaining. The fashion crowd knows how to pull out some style! I saw a lot of bling, stilettos and general “bring it” attitude. A nice change from going out and seeing people in flip-flops and track suits (which pains my eyes!)
Most of the shows have featured several designer showcases back to back and few music acts and performance artists to mix things up. While some fashion collections I was admittedly underwhelmed by, three stood out to me for ultra unique silhouettes, interesting cuts, use of textures and patterns. And of course, my picks all seem to have a little retro influence (what can I say, I love that!) but use it in very modern, wearable ways.
My favorites included:
Sue Wong, Nuvula, Emily Daccarett
Check out what they showed on the runway:
Stay tuned for a full report of all the shows I saw during during LA Fashion Week!
Stay stylish,

In my previous post, I showed how-to put together a look with Myrtlewood. Today, I styled a look around Bea+Dot, a playful line that can be worn out ‘n’ about during the day or for fun nights out with the girls or clubbing.
Here’s how to style a look around a Bea+Dot dress from Modcloth:

Pair with some accessories that embrace your inner child such as a smiling handbag*, owl wallet* and pencil bracelet.* The chic tortoiseshell sunglasses* will protect your eyes, while a pop of bright red, patent wedges* on your toes keep you grounded.

Today, I styled a look around Myrtlewood, which offers feminine, classic pieces that will always be in style as other trends come and go. Great for date nights or an elegant work day look.
Here’s how to style a look around a Myrtlewood dress from Modcloth:
The lovely floral print “Flaunt Every Facet” dress* will give you a ladylike flair paired with vintage-style emerald jewel earrings*. A ring of laurel leaves* picks up on the floral theme, as the mock book clutch purse* shows off your love of romantic literature. Black, suede, t-strap, 3 1/2 height heels* complete the look.
