Street Style Sunday

I wasn't too into the street looks this past week, plus my brain is working super slowly thanks to a
ll the candy and chocolate I've been eating... So I hope everyone has a safe and happy Halloween!

Celine pre-fall 2010

Celine's pre-fall collection made me very happy.

And then it made me add wide-leg trousers and cigarette pants to the be-on-the-lookout thrift list.

So chic and flattering with heels.

The skinny pants are adorable, as is the fluffy top.
And the last is perfect inspiration for my little black dress: long-sleeved and short, with pockets!

Olive Oyl, Style Icon

I randomly came across a mention of Olive Oil, remembered the character Olive Oyl from Popeye cartoons, did a quick google search and found a funny fashion relationship!

So many vintage trends that are going on right now, nearly a hundred years later: turbans, full skirt, granny boots, visible socks...

[ WANT: Elbow-length gloves ]

All I want for Christmas is a coat with amazing sleeves like this Lefranc Ferrant jacket and some elbow length gloves.

[ The 90's: she's a total Monet ]

I've re-watched Clueless more times than I can count. I was eleven when Clueless came out in '95 and I think my fashion "sense" involved overalls and a floral t-shirt. I completely envied Cher's crazy automated closet. I also like to credit this movie as my first introduction to Paul Rudd, mmm. I've watched the movie countless times over the years and am always somehow entertained and captured. Turns out it was based on Jane Austen's 1815 comedy-of-manners Emma...

Watching it now inspires both "OMG THAT'S SOOO 90'S!" and "Wow! Alicia Silverstone and Brittany Murphy look so young!" reactions, as well as rekindling an old desire to wear a little suit with knee socks like Cher and Dionne do in the opening scene...

[Note to self: bring back the water bottle chain holder]

Hmmm does "plaid, over-the-knee socks, mini purses and blazers" sound familiar to anyone?

To my profound surprise and disappointment I did not grow up to look anything like this in high school.

Thanks Hollywood!

Did Cher get that outfit from Mrs. Claus' garage sale?

[ Giovanna ]

By now, stylista Giovanna Battaglia hardly needs an introduction. Years ago, I read a single-page feature on her in American Vogue (or some such magazine, I couldn't locate it online and I'm too lazy to dig through my old magazines) and was very captured by the fact that she rides around on her scooter in billowy little skirts and heels and didn't have anything in her tiny studio besides a bed and dress racks.

While a sexy, sassy Italian fashion editor and I have, well, nothing in common, I am nevertheless completely mesmerized and inspired by all aspects of her style. She follows her own rules, when it comes to fashion and everything else. Hell, her last name means "battle" in Italian! Bring it on!

Loves the short skirts and bare legs
