On Top of the Styles
When you’re not pouring over classic fashion tomes for inspiration, adorn them with these glamourous quartz crystal bookends.
Books, Chapters; bookends, Dana Jordan.
Accessorized
You’re never fully dressed without a smile—which is exactly what these sparkly and colourful trinkets will bring to your face. Keep them in sight (and at easy access) with silver dessert stands and attractive glass jars.
Silver stand, Kate Spade clock, Teatro Verde; glass jar, Restoration Hardware; cuffs, Fleuri Boutique; necklace, Magi Accessori; ring, Dana Jordan.
Roman Holiday
Slinky, strappy Zanotti heels featuring a gold ankle bracelet bring unexpected edge to your basic black dress.
From Davids.
Queen of the Jungle
Though a feminine profile somewhat tames their wild side, these animal print Manolos will instantly turn a weekday outfit into a killer power suit.
From Browns.
Walk the Walk
If the vibrant burnt-orange shade on these Michael Kors shoes isn’t excuse enough to pick up a new pair of ballerina flats, how about the fact that they’re really comfortable?
From Capezio.
Dressing Up
You’ll no doubt take a shine to a classic Ferragamo clutch in a metallic bronze and this exquisite satin bow purse. The question is, which to take as a date to your next black tie event?
Ferragamo clutch, Davids; bow clutch, Mendocino.
Cases in Point
Yes, sometimes it is what’s outside that counts. Full of personality, these clutches don’t complete an outfit—they make the outfit.
Faux ostrich Olga Berg clutch with gold hardware snap closure, Olga Berg snake skin envelope style clutch and La Sera by Franchi bright green quilted clutch. From Capezio.
Rule Brittania
You may as well be stepping out of a chic London townhouse when you top off your ensemble with Burberry’s check bucket hat and Nova check tote.
From Andrew’s.
In the Loop
The fashion insiders’ tip on tightening your belt stylishly this season: give a tired outfit an instant new look with any of these luxe belts.
Michael Kors skinny black belt, leopard print belt, Chadwicks; skinny gold belt, Magi Accessori; Suzi Roher taupe belt with gold buckle, Burberry belt, Andrew’s.
Top Drawers
Pretty delicates stay soft and silky when stored with care. And when nicely arrayed like this, you’ll be able to slip into something more comfortable with ease.
Silk cami and pants, David’s Fine Linens; bras, lace cami, Linea Intima.
Group Dynamics
Dividing your accessories into distinct looks or moods can help inspire you when dressing. For example, Emilio Pucci scarves plus oversized sunglasses plus blanc crystal cuff plus Vintage-style pink crystal earrings equals a chic ensemble for lunching on a patio.
Sunglasses, Magi Accessori; gold chain with coral balls, Chadwicks; scarves, all other jewellery, Andrew’s.
Put Spring in Your Step
When winter’s chill lingers in the forecast yet you’re anxious for spring, a chunky knit in a fresh kelly green shade is an admirable compromise. This one’s styled so that it can be worn as a spring jacket or cardigan.
Jones New York retro cable-knit sweater. From Chadwicks.
Summer Hours
A nautical sailor linen pant is a must-have for summer parties and cruise wear. During the week, pair them with an haute couture pleated shirt for jaunty office style.
From Ross Mayer.
Sweet Indulgence
Getting dressed is hardly a chore, so why treat it like one? Pamper yourself with indulgent sweets and fresh bubbles while you ponder what to wear to tonight’s soiree.
