You all never cease to amaze me: the same day I write about the boyfriend shirt, I look in the Look Book and someone is already all over the trend! Talk about fashion ESP. Pharah is very much the daddy's girl in her dad's shirt, but it looks great, and what an easy look to throw together.

Here's what she's wearing:

  • Shirt: H&M (her Dad's)
  • Leggings: Zara
  • Belt: H&M

Congrats to Pharah!

Le Train Bleu is currently offering half off on most styles in its online store. What I like about this Portland-based store is that it also ships internationally to Western Europe, Canada, Australia, Japan and more! Go here to see if they ship to your hood.
What I like more are their unique clothes, like this Cacharel Purple Chemise, on sale for $145 (originally $290). It's not your average jumper because it has a drop waist and it's bright purple! What a perfect way to spice up your Summer gear.

Giorgio Armani

Fall 2007 Couture: Giorgio Armani Prive

Clad in Giorgio Armani Prive, an attention-loving fashionista can go from the office straight to the red carpet in an instant.

Clad in Giorgio Armani Prive, an attention-loving fashionista can go from the office straight to the red carpet in an instant. By work-appropriate attire, I mean an office that demands high-fashion, high-drama and glamour to the max (think The Devil Wears Prada). That's exactly what Armani delivered this time.

Suits with tulip skirts and low necklines oozed sexy sophistication that only a confident woman can pull off. And to break up the all-black look, Armani infused a pop of color - fuchsia, bright blue, purple - to each suit.

Colorful feathers and flowers served as voluminous shawls, while tilted hats with glitter screamed "Isabella Blow!" Interesting necklines prevailed, including lower-than-low sweethearts. Some red-carpet-worthy gowns were fitted, while most were overly poofy. And of course, bouts of fuchsia and hot pink popped up on the runway in the forms of clutches, jackets and frocks.

It wouldn't be Armani if a couple menswear-inspired pieces didn't shine through. Skinny ties and black fitted suits looked like they were taken directly from David Bowie's closet.

I have to say I'm impressed that Armani pumped up the volume, the drama and the sex appeal. I guess his fans have a siren side, too!

Jewelry

Glitterati: Becky Kelso

Like many artists, Becky Kelso's designs reflect her life experiences.

Like many artists, Becky Kelso's designs reflect her life experiences. Becky's education in design, her frequent travels, and upbringing in a family that appreciates art were all important influences in the creation of her jewelry collection.

Becky studied illustration and fashion design at the Fashion Institute in Southern California. However, it wasn't until 11 years later, and living in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico, for two years, that she found herself applying her educational background and experiences to design jewelry. It was in Mexico when she first explored the art of jewelry making.

Her fine jewelry has an antique look that is delicate and feminine and exhibits her cross-cultural interests. "I try not to follow huge trends, but instead I try to follow my heart in the direction it takes me," explains Becky. With a colorful gold-based collection, and one of her favorite stones being the Fabworthy tourmaline, her pieces are $200 and beyond and there is a large selection at Ylang 23.
