LOVE LIST | Denim Dresses & How To Wear

 CHALAYAN BLACK dress / SMYTHSON clutch / TIBI boots / KAREN WALKER sunglasses / A.V. MAX rings

PROENZA SCHOULER dress / ZARA clutch / ACNE cardholder / ALEXANDER WANG heels / HIPP X RGB polish / GATHERING EYE collar

WOOD WOOD dress / THEORY vest / 3.1 PHILLIP LIM bag / MODERN VICE boots / EDDIE BORGO ring / SAINT LAURENT PARIS sunglasses Today, I had some fun playing polyvore dress up with one of my favorite summer pieces, the denim dress. Though it is a piece that I have yet to own, denim dresses are appealing because they can be lightweight, comfortable and airy, and come in as many washes are your pairs of jeans.  Above are what I would probably pair the short sleeve, long sleeve, and sleeveless dresses with--from the most love worthy boots by Tibi and Modern Vice to cool clutches and minimalistic hardware.

PRE-FALL '13 Loves III

STELLA MCCARTNEY With a nod to her FW12 collection that featured beautiful baroque scroll and floral motif embroidery, this collection is equally as bold. She expanded her palette into the warm colors by welcoming a pair of hot orange trousers peeking out from an oversize camel coat (not pictured), and then ended with a beautiful colorblocked gown patched with a surprise block of velvet. 

TIBI This collection definitely encompassed the city girl roaming the concrete jungle during fashion week, IMO. Casual basics were presented in ultra luxe materials and cut to a tee. The neon accented buildings in the skyscape pants are fantastic, as are those lust-worthy ankle boots. Pointy black ankle boots just GET ME.

CELINE Of course, Phoebe did it again. This prefall season has really made me dwell in my oversized black coat   more often lately, and I'm loving it. Larger than life (and perhaps wearability) proportions contrasted with sharply tailored skirts, trousers, and blouses make for a great collection if you ask me. Also, can we talk about those grand platform wedges please?!

ALEXANDER MCQUEEN Sarah Burton continues to give off more good vibes with the most recent collection. There was the same drama and dignified elegance (without frivolity) in the strong, and almost basic, silhouettes. The most difficult thing was trying to get a single theme out of this collection. I saw a pilgrim -vampire-victorian era-snow queen, what do you see?

ACNE I wasn't really feeling the collection until I examined it in its entirety. The gradual transition from sharp lines and an austere palette to puffy, almost frothy, silhouettes and a last delicate floral number was what persuaded me. I would also like to one of the comforter-esque coats and the two buckled ankle boots, please.
