What to Wear: Girls Weekend

This weekend my best friends and I are headed to Paso Robles - a town in California's Central Coast region known for its burgeoning wine industry, and hot springs. Here is what my imagination would pack in our suitcases from the Resort 2011 collections:

Neutral Togs for Horseback Riding

Helmut Lang, Hanii Y, Max Azria and Thakoon

Bright and Bold Wine-tasting Wear

Dior, D Squared, Oscar de la Renta and Just Cavalli

Coquettish Cocktail dresses for a special birthday dinner

Collette Dinnigan, Chris Benz, Antonio Berardi and Giambattista Valli

Fall Fashion: Dream Job

September is here and that always makes me think of new school clothes. Now, I'm years and years from back-to-school supply shopping, but that doesn't mean it's not a great time to be inspired for work clothes.
Remember: Dress for the job you want, not the one you have. Job I want: photo editor for Elle Decor.

Loving neutrals that are beyond the pale:
