LE CATCH

One is by Givenchy. The other is from Warehouse. Do you know which is which? And which one would you buy?

A polished ladylike dress in daring eye-popping green.

This sequin-embellished dress from Asos is a near replica of the 40s'- inspired beaded dress from Miu Miu's fall collection, but instead of being $4K, it's a mere $154. And, yup, it's in the post, en route to me. I am going to belt it, throw on some red lipstick and wear it with gusto.

As effortless as it gets, in the prettiest, right-now shade of blue.

These opulent baubles look like long-treasured heirlooms, but they're actually new pieces from Elizabeth Cole. I am dying over all the earrings--particularly the crazy amethyst mohawk ones. They're all striking and decadent--and ridiculously affordable (priced between $57-$338). Great for gifting.

Postscript: Throw a classic trench or camel coat on and you're good to go into the winter cold.

Just snapped up some gorgeous new goodies from Zara's website: the star print asymmetrical skirt, the floral blouse with the Peter Pan collar, and the geometric print silk pants (which are definitely rocking a Proenza-ish flair). All perfect for the go-go-go holiday circuit--and post-season, too!
