Style Inspiration: Miranda Kerr at NYFW 2013

You can never go wrong with black, especially for a black tie wedding or other up-coming special occasion. Here I decided to recreate a look for less inspired by New York Fashion Week 2013 fashionable attendee, Miranda Kerr. She looked effortlessly beautiful in Dolce & Gabbana black velvet? skirt with satin and lace detailing throughout combined with a matching sheer black scalloped lace caplet top tucked under the skirt. She opted for minimal jewelry, wavy side-swept hair, and a super natural makeup look with the slightest touch of blush, lip gloss, and red nail polish.

In my look for less, I think either a Vince Camuto black mermaid skirt or a sheer maxi skirt topped with a black satin bridal-style belt would go well with a tucked in short-sleeved black lace top. I would wear a black or skin-tone cami or bandeau top under the shear blouse as I am not as risqué as Miranda (i.e., no wardrobe malfunctions a` la Miranda Kerr = crisis averted ;). For jewelry, rather than diamond stud earrings, I kicked it up a notch and added these tear-drop pearl earrings and a Michael Kors crystal-accented bangle for an elegant touch of sparkle. Finally, I chose Sole Society's Giselle black patent almond toe pumps and a black clutch with gold embellishments. Oh, and don't forget a pop of red nail polish!

White jeans and Floral

Forget the old saying that you can't wear white after Labor Day. I as well as many other fashionistas agree that white can be transitioned to suit any season, so there is no need to put away your white jeans because of the colder months ahead. Here, I have chosen to pair white skinny jeans with a floral and black lace blouse, which can be worn loosely tucked into the jeans or do the trendy half tuck. Then I selected a pair of black suede booties to match the blouse's black trim and lace. A cobalt blue cross-body bag ties the whole look together for a fun day of shopping with friends or to catch a movie with your beau.

Navy Glamour

I just entered the Polyvore contest on recreating the 2013 Emmy red carpet looks of our favorite celebrities. Although I am up against so many beautiful creations of other members, I attempted making my own. Hey, the way I look at it, practice makes perfect and anyone can do it!
