Last Sunday, I attended my good friend's (first!) baby shower. The plan was to eat, play fun mother-to-be games, and open gifts. Since the festivities were held outside and the weatherman predicted partly cloudy skies, I needed you to help me put together a cute layered outfit.

I started you off with this Temperley London Mini Trapeze Belt ($325); I love the soft gold tone and Grecian influence. Let's see the results!

Look #1, created by maria212134, is incredibly delicate. The soft hues are lovely.

This Sunday, I'm attending my good friend's (first!) baby shower. The plan is to eat, play fun mother-to-be games, and open gifts. Since the festivities will be held outside and the weatherman predicts partly cloudy skies, I need you to help me put together a cute layered outfit. No short skirts please, it's going to be gusty!

I'll start you off with this Temperley London Mini Trapeze Belt ($325); I love the soft gold tone and Grecian influence.

>> Soon after Maybelline announced it would be be taking over from five-year Bryant Park cosmetics sponsor MAC, MAC — presumedly, as New York Times' Eric Wilson put it, tired of having to share "a rather circuslike stage with other sponsors who were competing for attention, sometimes including makers of doughnuts, cameras, toilets and Big Macs" — announced that it would be producing the tentatively-titled MAC and Milk Fashion Week with Milk Studios at the same time as the traditional New York Fashion Week.

The event can be seen as either a complement or a competitor to Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week, but on the record, anyway, there seem to be no hard feelings.  Milk Studios founder Mazdack Rassi says of the initiative: "This week is not an alternative show space, it's a way of cultivating designers and helping them come up with new ways of selling their clothes."  And Zach Eichman, a VP of IMG Fashion, which produces the shows at Bryant Park, told the New York Times last week the company welcomed the MAC and Milk event and that bus service between shows would be available when possible. “We can’t do every show in the tents. We hope they will be successful.”
