Mad About Maje

Maje Fall/Winter 2012

In addition to being known as one of the most romantic destinations in the world, Paris is also associated with an unparalleled chicness in terms of fashion. French label Maje is no exception and is quickly gaining a major following from fashionistas around the globe. This fall/winter collection is filled with ultra-cool, wearable pieces. I am loving the leather accents, lace and pops of bright colors. It is priced a little high, but has great construction and detail nonetheless. I guess I'll be keeping my eyes posted for sales! Have a great day~Xx Steph

A rainy, humid week called for layers and loose fitting clothes. I love the combination of leather and lace, an edgier look paired with something more delicate and feminine. Boyfriend jeans always add that extra bit of comfort especially when it's humid. No matter how much my husband dislikes them, I'm not ditching them anytime soon:)

Crochet vs Lace

Crochet continues to emerge at numerous Ready-to-Wear fashion shows, from the likes of Isabel Marant, Alexander Wang and Comme Des Garcons. In the past, it could easily come across dowdy, but it has taken a turn for the better. I still am partial to lace. It is more feminine, delicate and whimsical. However, this season's crochet styles have made me take a second look! Luckily, there is plenty of both fabrics available in just about every boutique nationwide.
