TIME TO TAKE A LEAP OF FAITH:

IN THIS SEASON'S JUMPSUIT!

I'm obsessed. It's official. I am besotted with this Spring's jumpsuit. Sleeved, capped or long, it really doesn't matter as long as I can pull the ensemble up in one fell swoop and call it a day. Something somewhat reminiscent of the 1980s or maybe it was the '70s? Whatever genre it more appropriately suits, this trend is one I feel is worthy a song of praise. 

While thumbing through the order books at Nordstrom ARDEN FAIR, I came across an item I absolutely had to have. Black, palazzo'd with a high neck, low back and a tie (!), it was a breath of fresh air. Sick of the usual maxi dress or cocktail ensemble laden with leather, I was in love. Sure, I ordered it for a client, but I secretly hoped it wouldn't work out. I wanted it. Celine makes it and it solidifies all that I know to be true about fashion. Clean and sophisticated, but playful and sexy still. This jumpsuit had me at hello.

PRICE UPON REQUEST

If Celine isn't quite in your budget, below are some alternatives that certainly meet my fashion standards and my accountant's budget standards. :-) Think of the jumpsuit like you would think of an elegant pant suit or a pant/blouse combination. Throw on a cropped blazer and it serves either purpose. So chic, so elegant and absolutely stunning on a woman with long, long legs. Beware those under 5'3" of this look unless of course it's a romper (shorts). You will only seem shorter in the pant version of this trend.

LET'S GO SHOPPING:

WITH CELINE.

LEIGHTON MEESTER CARRYING A CELINE SHOPPER BAG, $2,250

 So chic and so flawlessly perfect for a jaunt this Spring. Celine's big shopper bag hit the streets last Spring and is back with a vengeance. I love that it comes in so many different colors, shapes and sizes and that it exudes a timeless look that brings a certain joie de vivre to your fashion step.

ALEXA CHUNG CARRYING LARGE CELINE SHOPPER BAG

Celebrities have been drawn to this bag for its unique structure, but also because it's not in the hands of just anybody. It's a bag for the true fashionista and one who doesn't care about screaming, "I'm wearing designer." After all, those that do that, really don't know jack about fashion. If you have to show people you can buy designer, you probably aren't all that deserving of the label to begin with... I'm just sayin'. Subtle, high fashion purchases like this Celine bag will qualify your admittance into the true fashionista category.
