Chic of the Week be a lady… Lady_Diane!

If you've spent 5 minutes on Closet Couture, you've seen Lady_Diane's gorgeous, creative outfits. But have you checked out her closet? Unless you've copied her YORKSHIRE TERRIER to your closet, you obviously haven't… because how could you resist!?

Lady_Diane's collection is just stunning, so you must follow her. >>


And do take a look at the outfits she's made. The way she styles her wardrobe reminds us why we love fashion so much (not that we had forgotten)!

How We'd Wear: Tube Scarf

Attached Blog Image

Tube scarves are an easier way to wear a scarf, all tied up and ready to go. Here's how we styled fall's new-but-ubiquitous accessory, using Zucca's alpaca wool twist tube scarf from LaGarconne.

If you want to style it yourself, here's where it lives on Closet Couture. >>

Ashley

Alyson: This scarf is so cute with other slouchy neutrals!

Neohippie Tube Scarf

Aihui: Long flights can be uncomfortable and exhausting. I can never tell how cold or hot the flight can be. The solution? Wear a chic outfit with a fitting jacket and scarf!

Comfy on the plan

Chris: I LOVE this scarf – I really love all scarves, truth be told, but there is something about this one (aka the Snood, which is a horrible sounding name) that just works. And it might be perfect for my coat that I cannot figure out (it has a tough neckline, so this might add what it needs). What do you think?

How We'd Wear: a Waistcoat

Call it a waistcoat, call it a vest, call it a gilet, but call it soon and call it often. Boy-chic, the 80s and good tailoring have never been more en vogue than they are this fall. And waistcoats are perfect for transitional weather, going over long-sleeved T's and under jackets like a charm.

We love this piece from Band of Outsiders' Boy line… You can buy it at La Garconne, in black or grey.

We styled the black one for you… If you want to put it in your closet to style, you can find it on Closet Couture, here. >>

Ashley says, “I would pair this with a structured flannel for a masculine inspired look.”

Waistcoat <3

Alyson says, “I love how a vest adds structure to a flouncy blouse.”

Waistcoat Weather

Chris's look is an uptown take on vest wearing, a playful element when wearing iconic accessories.

Only the Very Vest for Chris

SJP Must Read: Sarah Jessica Central!

Sarah Jessica Parker is so much more than the sum of her parts (Sex and the City/Matthew Broderick/fab indie performances). And no one gets that more than Sarah Jessica Central, the blog of all things SJP… Which is why we were so excited that they posted about our Style Sarah Jessica Parker contest.

Sex and the City 2 fans… their SJP gallery with SATC2 costume shots is not to be missed!

And if you haven't gotten enough SATC2 fashion, check in with CosmoGuy.com, too… he's also all over dishing on the shoot and the costumes.

Our Sarah Jessica Parker Styling Contest is up until November 17, so there's still time to make SJP outfits and nab the $200 Barney's New York gift card for your very own!
