remixing fashion and luxury for reality

My first "look" on ShopStyle.com…

Shopbop did my post for me tonight. Thanks guys. I must concur with your selections here. I’d pick a favorite but I’d wear them all!

Rachel Pally Dress — 4 Ways to Wear It

April 10 was the premiere for "Perfect Stranger". Halle Berry… gurl is lookin’ good. I’d like to age reversely too!

Halle Berry — Luxe

Berry Berry good. I am feelin’ the dress, with the shoes, with the backdrop. That takes some coordination. Check out how her heel insets match the red carpet and text behind her. The dress has a unique neckline, not just a standard whatever you call that neck but I love how the two straps connect into a Y. Y Strap?

Clea Lewis — Suxe

Clea, you look lost. Were you on your way to church or to a gathering of home dressmakers. Well I must hand it to you — you do match the red carpet too!

Christy Turlington — Luxe

This barely qualifies because I’d NEVER pick out that top for myself. But Christy has her Outfit Composition down. I love that she was a little daring with those ankle boots and black opaque tights. The thin black sash was a must in order to "tie" the look together. And her lacy somethin’ somethin’  peeking out from under her demure tunic is deceptively innocent. She also picked the perfect hairstyle to complement this frilly girly outfit — clean, straight, simple.

Julia Stiles — Suxe

Julia Hoolia! What were you thinking? You should have saved this for Easter. This dress is for women twice your age… or at least NOT the red carpet. I also am not feelin’ the Amish pumps to further frump this look out.

Adriana Lima — Suxe

This look is playboy bunny-esque and I’m hoping that’s not what Adriana was going for. If she was well good job gurl!

So overall… I am un-enthused about the style factor here at the Perfect Stranger Premiere other than the featured star Halle herself. Maybe that’s the cardinal unspoken rule. Do not look better than the star. I can live with that!

I don’t know whether it was the oversatisfactory Zappos customer service or the fact that I really love these boots (see yesterday’s post) but I was so inspired by new Frye Boots that I have to talk about them some more (I also loved the Cognac Nappa Boots from RSVP but first things first).

Zappos should have provided a picture of what these boots look like when they are unfolded. I will defn. wear these with anything that exposes the leg lines. If you didn’t know, slouchy mid-calf length boots are really flattering to the leg — See graphic below. Cowboy boots, slouchy leather or suede boots, even Uggs actually especially Uggs, these all help to create more shape around the calf and minimize the midth of your legs.

The boots in this picture are actually a slightly different boot from Frye but when mine are unfolded they are comparabe, prob. even better since they are wider at the top — more calf-enhancing-gap!

I also wanted to treat myself to picking out a cute outfit to wear with my new boots. I’m all ready for the Sharks game with my hubby tomorrow.
