Outfit of the Day in Black Halo & BB Dakota on October 29, 2010

Sparkle spectacularly in this fabulous, future-like ensemble by Black Halo and BB Dakota. First, we took our Zsa Zsa Sheath dress, which we found to be super  inspiring with her strong, black seams lining the bodice and added our sharp shouldered blazer by BB Dakota for the perfect balance. Decorating her neck, we decided on this v-shaped, metallic, bib necklace to add some brightness. With the introduction of Marcia Moran's druzy collection to FCB we are wanting to add her cocktail rings to every outfit, but today it was an absolute MISS if we DIDN'T have this titanium blinger on her finger, FOR SURE!

Outfit of the Day in Hale Bob & 7 For All Mankind Denim October 27, 2010

Leave the accessorizing for another day with this embellished top by Hale Bob. The stretch silk feels absolutely amazing while the color pops beautifully against every skin tone! Notice the tie back found at the natural waistline. This is key in maintaining a narrow waistline. We like to pair this caftan style top with a wide leg trouser for extra glam appeal, creating a more balanced look. We chose the Ginger jean by 7 For All Mankind this go around as it should be a staple in every woman's closet. Keeping the accessories at a minimal we just grabbed the ever essential Big Buddha Jackson Wallet Clutch.

Outfit of the Day in DEPT & Seychelles October 21, 2010

We all love a great tunic and legging outfit here at French Cuff Boutique and this ensemble represents the latest trend we have been seeing for this fall. The soft style of this blouson sweater is matched with edginess found in the detail on the cozy tunic and played up with some fun edgy accessories and the fabulous over the knee boot. The silhouette of this DEPT tunic sweater is all the rage with a fuller, blousy top balanced by a slim fitted hem to the skirt and sleeves. We paired this cowl neck sweater with our Last Tango leggings and Seychelles boot and accessorized with a skinny belt by Elise M, stacked on House of Harlow bangles and a double wrap anaconda bracelet by Leighelena.

Outfit of the Day in BB Dakota & 7 For All Mankind on October 20, 2010

Fall fashion often brings us deep shades of black and gray, but you can always add a pop of color in your accessories, as we did today. We saw the pendant necklace begin its big come back in the summer and the trend is still strong this fall for all ages to enjoy. This 18karet gold plated Blue Druzy Pendant Necklace by Marcia Moran is stunning and statement-making, as it creates a colorful centerpiece for this otherwise dark neutral ensemble. We paired David Kahn's Pencil Leg Denim back to this BB Dakota Aiken Charcoal Gray Sweater for a casual chic appeal. BB Dakota gives us this fabulous pullover sweater with a blouson shape and three-quarter sleeve. The blousy full top is so on trend and flatters the shape with a hem that comes in to fit the hips and a wide boat neck. Need an extra layer?

Outfit of the Day in Kay Unger and CC Couture on October 13, 2010

Warm up your fierce, red C.C. Couture jacket by pairing it with this camel and brown, animal print romper by Kay Unger. Bright red and camel are walking hand in hand this Fall in so many fashion editorials, so when this jacket arrived in shipment we immediately knew how we wanted it to be introduced!! This is such a spicy combo we decided to continue the fun and mirror the angular, shawl collar with some chocolate, diamond printed tights by Spanx. Finishing this tonal look we added a brown suede pump by Seychelles to create that long lean leg. Tip: Be careful when pairing tights with open-toed shoes. This pump is heavy in nature with the thick, suede straps over the foot and chunky heel, allowing a brown tight to be worn without even blinking an eye!

Outfit of the Day in Rolando Santana & BB Dakota October 6, 2010

What a smashing cap shouldered sheath from Rolando Santana. It is completely covered in matte finish black and white sequins for a glam yet not flashy finish. The creative pattern gives it an almost lace-like appearance that radiates sheer elegance. Perfect for any after hour scene as is, but the addition of BB Dakota's black blazer extends the wearability of this dress. The shawl collared, sharp shouldered blazer with its nipped in waist gives you a super feminine but powerful silhouette. Sleeves "jshuzshed" or rolled up to expose the light silvery lining make this a very versatile must have for your wardrobe. These two pieces seperate or together are fabulous and right on trend.

Outfit of the Day in Joseph Ribkoff & David Kahn October 5, 2010

Try a little sparkle in the daytime! This basic white tank and black jeans by David Kahn are two closet staples that are brought to life by adding this tie-front cardi by Joseph Ribkoff. This piece is working double time as  the waterfall, tie-front  hides a multitude of sins while adding that special feminine detail. Notice the subtle shine that is created by a super fine metallic weaved evenly through the fabric. Tip: The deep v-neck created by the cardi against the white tank calls for a long pendant necklace to fill the space perfectly. We chose our Marcia Moran titanium druzy pendant since it brings a natural, yet super glam feel. For more information about this and other "Outfit of the Day" postings visit FrenchCuffCo.com.

Outfit of the Day in BB Dakota & 7 For All Mankind on October 4, 2010

We think its "a-ok" to have a little fun with your favorite accessories, like this perfect little animal printed scarf by Topaz Designs. Instead of layering it around the neck, which always looks great, we've shaken things up a tiny bit by cinching it around this silk, safari inspired button down by BB Dakota. By pairing such soft bodied pieces together, you create an effortless breezy look. We added a dark denim trouser by 7 for all mankind for the perfect hip to floor line, creating a tiny waist and legs for miles! Ladies, give your sleeves a little "fold and push" , (otherwise known as a "jzhuzsh") up the arm for extra style points!

Outfit of the Day in 360 Sweaters & Nicole Miller on October 1, 2010

"Knit one pearl two" as the old saying goes. 306 Sweaters brings us this black and & white sweater coat with a wonderful hand-knit look. The body of the sweater is in an interesting nubby pearl stitch knit, while the collar cuffs and front border in the reverse knit stitch. Nicole Miller's body-hugging pencil skirt in a black, subtly iridescent, fabric beautifully balances the fuller shaping of the coat. Pop this black & white palette with just about any color of choice. Today, we chose DEPT's brightly orange stretch-cotton tank for its comfort and style. To accentuate the waist we added a flattering python printed waist belt by Elise M. For more information about this and other "Outfit of the Day" postings, visit FrenchCuffCo.com.
