And The Oscar Goes To...

I've always loved Oscar de la Renta...

1: He's Dominican like me :)

2: He can dress a woman beautifully, effortlessly, and with ease.

When I saw his Pre-Fall 2011 collection, well accessorized with fur, I knew this would be one collection I had to highlight. Draped in various colors of warm and cozy goodness and styled in an understandable, no bells and whistles, but all the while in a cool way. The collection immediately caught my attention and had me longing for the next runway look.

This coat looks so incredibly warm..."like living in a polar bear" as my roommate puts it. The colors are exquisite with a lady like demeanor.

These couldn't be more my style! Leather, fur, and red lips it works for running around during the day at work and translates perfectly for a night out or weekend excursions.

I'm a sucker for anything sparkly done in an uber chic way. This made me melt! I love anything lame. The two tones, the wide leg pants, and a bold lip... UNCLE!

Luck Be a Lady

I'm not the most graceful thing you've ever seen, but the pristine lady in me is definitely drawn to the comely aesthetic of Oscar de la Renta's designs.

It's no secret that I'm drawn to all things that shimmer and shine. I think this dress is an uplifting take while still being feminine and boisterous in an incredibly appealing tasteful manner. I feel like it's definitely a younger Oscar customer but he's found the perfect balance of intentional flirtation and class.

This dresses reminds me of an outfit Carrie wore in I believe season 2 of Sex and the City. I'm always attracted to metallic and this has the perfect dose of subtle color to add into the mix. An update version that Helen of Troy might wear!
