Outfit of the Day October 30, 2009

We have tamed this fabulous animal print dress by Kay Unger with an ultra chic tuxedo inspired jacket by Phoebe Couture. The dress is so perfect on its own with its ruffle front neckline and body skimming silhouette. The pink, red and black color palette interplay perfectly with this graduating cheetah print. By adding the jacket with its petal shaped tail, gold button detail and satin lapel we have created unique style in this fashion savvy ensemble.

Outfit of the Day October 29, 2009

Comfortable and casual, Haven's knit jersey dress is an easy throw-on piece that looks great back to leggings and ballet flats or tights and boots. Pulling from the colorful print on the skirt, we popped a bright green Last Tango tank under-layer to add more color to this mostly chocolate brown palette. An orange or yellow tank or bandeau top would be great accents too! We added a great chunky necklace that mixes colors of bronze, browns and blues to answer to the statement necklace trend this season.

Outfit of the Day October 28, 2009

Right now our new favorite tee is this deep purple long sleeve Lilla P version with its abstract ruffle running down the front, asymmetric neckline, and ultra soft fabric.  It looks great back to jeans or even your favorite skirts. We paired it with Peace of Cloth's winter white trouser and DEPT's army green military inspired jacket for unique style and an outfit that can take you to the office or endless other day time occasions. We added a sweet heart-shaped silver drop necklace to soften the look. Chandelier earrings would be a great alternate.

Outfit of the Day October 27, 2009

Hale Bob's prints and color pallets are always eye catching. This warm color way on silk is rich and beautiful. The metallic embellished neckline adds just the right amount of ornamentation to make this dress a great day to night piece. Its length makes it long enough to wear as a dress and short enough to also wear as a tunic over leggings or skinny jeans. We love the way this one drapes over the body giving great shape as well as a little wiggle room. We added bronze beads to continue the focus at the neckline.

Outfit of the Day October 26, 2009

Since the boyfriend cardi is so important this season we thought we would show you yet another way to sport Press's black boyfriend cardigan. You saw it on October 22 over a sexy Nicole Miller dress. Today, it's all dressed up layered over Fumblin' Foe's high drama ivory ruffle top. Paired with Liquid's black trousers and a basic pump, you can definitely wear this ensemble to the office. So your waist does not get lost in all those ruffles and layers we cinched it with Hyde's black patent leather stretch waist belt with gold detail. Remove the cardi and add a satin skirt to be ready for your next cocktail party. We love the versatility of all four pieces.

Outfit of the Day October 23, 2009

Heads will be turning in this eye catching electric blue dress by Liquid. It's the perfect party dress with a sexy v-neckline adorned with soft flowy ruffles.  It is dressier on its own; however, if you need a sleeve just add a layer. We added Joy Joy's sparkle cardi for a touch of glitz and glimmer. Accessorizing with a black patent HYDE belt pulls it together and you can wear a gold necklace like this multi-layered chain link we have shown. Slide on your black patent leather pumps and be the talk of the party.

Outfit of the Day October 22, 2009

Is that a boyfriend cardi over a sexy Nicole Miller dress? That's right! We were able to make this sexy body skimming Nicole Miller office appropriate by layering it with Press' "on trend" black boyfriend cardigan. To seal the deal we added a short strand of pearls. At the end of the day shed the cardigan, slide on those stilettos and you are ready for Happy Hour! You will go from counting numbers to counting numbers!

Outfit of the Day October 21, 2009

We had fun with this yellow and brown color pallet. Haven's 100% silk dress is fabulous on its own. We added warmth with Joy Joy's medium weight jacket in yellow and chocolate brown. Don't be afraid to mix your prints and patterns. Hyde's chocolate brown stretch canvas belt accentuates the waist nicely. And, the bronze beads add just enough accessorizing for this exciting ensemble. Wear an opaque brown tight or legging with a boot for a comfortable and fashionable look.

Outfit of the Day October 20, 2009

Haven's foe wrap dress makes an impression with its 70's flair. The color combination eases us into fall and the versatility will carry us through it. Wrap dresses look great on most body types and are ultra flattering on women with curves. This short version will look fun with tights and boots or leggings and flats.  The self belt is tied loosely to the side or you can throw on a chunky leather belt to vary the look. The knit jersey fabric makes this dress easy to layer with a jacket or cardi.  This would make a great "date night" or "girls-night-out outfit". The cut-away shoulder (difficult to see in picture) detail gives this ensemble a little sex appeal.

Outfit of the Day October 19, 2009

We took a dressy gold, bronze and gunmetal colored cropped jacket by Jade and paired it back to a fun Friday night green and gold cami by Notice to create an unexpected combination of shape and shimmer. The cami is so special on its own with its zipper detail straps, double layer of ruffles and dressy fabric. Adding the jacket gave the pairing another level of sophistication by mixing the prints and patterns. With the volume on top we kept the bottom narrow with David Kahn's Heidi skinny jeans in a dark wash. This outfit is Friday night fabulous!

Outfit of the Day October 16, 2009

Fall doesn’t mean push those super mini’s to the back of the closet. We love this BB Dakota black and white mini bubble dress worn all by itself, but as the weather gets colder we can pile on the layers. Underneath we added Press' classic white button-up and over we added Press' classic cardi in fall's hottest color.  Accessorize with a multi-strand beaded statement necklace like this black and white one shown. HYDE's black soft belt creates and accentuates the waistline. To keep those exposed legs warm add an opaque tight or legging to wear with flats or an over the knee boot.

Outfit of the Day October 15, 2009

Mixing and matching your separates is a great way to get more mileage out of your current wardrobe. We took this fabulous gray tweed Kay Unger jacket that was part of a dress suit and paired it back to our nicely fitting trousers by Liquid. Yes, gray and brown look great together, as we pulled in BOHO Chic's animal print blouse that has a perfect harmony of colors like bronze, blues, grays and browns. Our conservative jacket helped tame that wild printed zipper-front top for the office.

Outfit of the Day October 14, 2009

Jade always makes a great jacket. This double-breasted medium weight plaid one is so versatile. We love the length - not too long and not too short. It is sure to coordinate with many pieces in your closet. We layered it over Lilla P's knotted collar tee in this beautiful violet color. We love it when a long sleeve under layer pokes out of a 3/4-sleeve top layer, as shown here. Nicole Millers shirred detail pencil skirt in black is a great bottom to any top. Its body conscious fit gives great shape to many body types.  For dimension we cinched the waist with Hyde's wide woven black leather belt that is truly seasonless.

Outfit of the Day October 13, 2009

As we have said before, our favorite fall "go to" casual outfit is jeans, a tee and a great jacket or sweater for layering. Here we again took our fabulous David Kahn black skinny jeans and added David Cline's super cool black, white & silver rose tee. What brings this ensemble into "casual chic" mode is the addition of Phoebe Couture's rose detail bolero, which also looks great over your favorite cocktail dress. Add your stilettos or boots and a multilayer necklace to complete this urban look.

Outfit of the Day October 12, 2009

We love this navy military-inspired vest by J Cooper. It will give structure to just about any outfit. For a softer look we layered it over the antique white lacy Kay Celine top we showed you on October 8. Then we paired them back to J Cooper's cream, brown and gold plaid menswear inspired trouser for a conservative look. A great pair of riding boots would be our pick to complete this ensemble.

Outfit of the Day October 9, 2009

Here we go again with Notice's fabulous animal print silver and black pencil skirt that we showed you on October 6. We are showing it yet another way with this heather gray classic v-neck sweater by Press. We could have stopped here and just added a black belt for a more conservative daytime look.  However, we decided to kick in some color by bringing back our dramatic magenta top by Fumblin’ Foe that we showed you on September 24. We love mixing and matching great pieces to optimize what we have in our closets.  Its fun and smart to work your wardrobe taking full advantage of versatility. Piling on the pearls, a strong fashion statement this season, gives this ensemble the royal treatment and we all deserve that!

Outfit of the Day October 8, 2009

This adorable cropped jacket is classic and timeless with its double breasted closure, smart fit and vintage print. The 3/4 sleeve deems it worthy of layers for colder times or mild weather when worn by itself. The flower pins are a fabulous accessory but they are removable if you wish! I love it layered over our Kay Celine lacy top in antique white. This top is stretchy and comfortable but you can still dress it up or dress it down. With all those lacy ruffles you can keep the jewelry as simple as a pair of pearl earrings. On the bottom we added this classic and versatile charcoal pleated skirt by Notice. Its length makes if perfect to wear with bare legs now and opaque tights later.

Outfit of the Day October 7, 2009

This fabulous medium weight cropped jacket by Joy Joy will take you from fall to spring seamlessly. Its delightful plaid color combination may even put an extra spring in your step. The little cute side pockets add just the right amount of convenience and flair. Underneath we have Lilla P's easy throw on v-neck tee in turquoise to add yet another layer of color. Both pieces pop against David Kahn's white denim bootcut jeans. As we have said before, it is okay to transition your white jeans into fall.

Outfit of the Day October 6, 2009

"Wow" is the response you will get with this great red coat by CC Couture. This bold look is softened by its ruffle neckline and the weight is perfect for our Houston weather. Underneath is a crisp white button-down shirt by Notice. Its shirred side detailing offers style and shape that can make this top a stand-alone piece once you remove the jacket. And how could you miss that dynamite black and silver animal print pencil skirt, also by Notice. The print is subtle but still makes a nice statement. Its versatility is limitless.

Outfit of the Day October 5, 2009

Your day dresses can easily be made office appropriate by adding just the right layers. With Ikat print still trending strong we took our 100% silk sleeveless dress by Liquid and layered it under this classic burgundy cardigan by Press. All these colors work so well together and bring us into fall with a bang. We cinched the waist with Hyde's chocolate brown soft belt for added shape and dimension. We could not resist adding one more pop of color with the coral pedant necklace. There is nothing boring about all these fabulous colors rolled up into one great outfit!

Outfit of the Day October 2, 2009

How many peasant blouses have you purchased over the last couple of seasons? They have been so popular and all the different styles and prints have made them fun to wear. You can easily transition them into the fall by adding a chunky warm layer. We took our brightly printed Kay Celine peasant blouse and topped it with this grey double-breasted sweater by Press. With all this volume on the top we kept the bottom slim by pairing them back to David Kahn's new black skinny jean. These jeans are a soft denim and are perfectly skinny without the stovepipe fit.

Items are currently available a French Cuff Boutique and will soon be available on FrenchCuffCo.com. In limited quantities, we offer sizes 0-12 and XS-XL.

Outfit of the Day October 1, 2009

Yes, you can transition your white denim into fall. We did it simply by adding this Boho Chic animal print top with its warm tones and topped it with our Marni inspired light weight coat by Lui. The top has amazing side ruching detail that creates this wonderful  pleating across the tummy. The pleating can surprisingly hide our lumps and bumps. To accent all those warm tones in the top we added this long strand of beads that we wrapped three times for that layered look.
