Style Stalker - Misha Nonoo for Aldo Rise SS2015

American contemporary womenswear designer, Misha Nonoo, collaborated with Aldo's shoe and handbag design teams to create accessories for her Spring/Summer 2015 runway show.  Watch this behind the scenes video below which shows Misha in action the day before the big show.  It's here that she talks working with Aldo, and the inspiration behind the collection.

The pieces are appealing to my particular style aesthetic as I tend to be drown to more sophisticated, classic silhouettes that offer a splash of color to my neutral wardrobe.   The color palette of the pieces are black, white, navy, gold metallic and orchid.

Aeaniel - $100.00

Aquino - $65.00

Birchell - $160.00

The Aeaniel is the ballerina flat.  It can easily be paired with palazzo pants or a sporty skirt.  Birchell is the strappy high heel sandal.  It is versatile as well with just the right degree of sexiness.   Lastly, the oversized clutch is the perfect marriage between softness and structure.  The purse also features a rose gold chain and clasp which adds chic details.

Memphis Fashion Week Outfit Recap (What I Wore) - Day 2

Words can not describe how perfect this venue was for the shows on Night two.  Nothing better to accompany the frigid temps outside than a log cabin with fireplace located in the center of the Memphis Zoo at the Teton Trek. 

I wanted to glam up my look for the night, so I wore diamond accessories with a very bright red, bold lip (c/o MAC Rih Rih Woo).  Dressing warmly was also a must with temps dipping low into the 30s, I wore my vintage fur coats, leather over the knee boots as well as my leather skirt.

Periwinkle Hues with a Snakeskin Statement

With warmer temps on the rise, I have been scouring thrift stores for dresses and boy have I had some awesome luck.  I found this beautiful dress at the Goodwill for $4.99 (yes people...that cheap).

I paired this simply dress with a snake skin statement necklace from H&M that was gifted to me by a friend.  Snake skin is one of my favorite prints, and oftentimes I wear it as a neutral.  It just seems to work with everything.
