Delpozo Fall 2013
Madrid-based label Delpozo made it’s New York Fashion Week debut over the weekend with an utterly impressive couture-like collection. Recently appointed creative director Josep Font combined organic architecture and the femininity of the Victorian era into futuristic yet elegant dresses, waist defining skirts with scalloped pleats, embellished wool tunics and pants, and delicate chiffon gowns. And of course, the unexpected color combinations made it all that much more delightful. I mean, burgundy and salmon? Swoon.
DIY Tassel Earrings
This week’s DIY was inspired by a reader’s request, asking us to recreate a pair of vintage Yves Saint Laurent tassel earrings. Tassels?! No need to ask us twice. Hanging from a belt, off a bag, or from the ears . . . tassels are high up in our favorite jubuliant accessories category, alongside the ever-so exuberant pom pom. And the best part about these simple yet elegant tassel earrings is that they are completely customizable!
You’ll need:
- 25 meters (79 feet) of bunka cord
- 2 corrugated brass beads 5/8″
- 2 corrugated brass caps 1/2″
- 2 eyepins
- 2 earwires
- E6000
- pliers

3.1 Phillip Lim Fall 2013
Dear Phillip, you had me at your first look this season: an embossed pink neoprene coat with a detachable leather bib. And then you continued to woo me with cross-body bags, motorcycle jackets, denim covered in custom patches, angora sweater dresses, and over-the-knee sandal boots. This cool-girl persona you’ve so masterfully created?! I want to be her.
Mirror Mirror On The Wall
Whether it be convex, federal, portholes, or eagle mirrors, circular mirrors are traditional, classic and chic accessories for the home. Did you know that some of the more traditional federal convex mirrors have thirteen balls surrounding them representing the original states of the union? There are some great options on Etsy, Ebay, and West Elm in case you’re in the market for one!
