Not since Sex and the City have we seen a television show shape the fashion zeitgeist with quite the reach as AMC’s Mad Men. For fall it's all about the suit, tweed, polka dots and a pencil skirt, designers and fans alike can not get enough of Mad Men’s proto-feminist heroines—Joan, Betty and Peggy—with their lady like style. We are here to tell you the fashion Gods have spoken - tis the season of 'The Lady'! This Fall play around with polka dots, cardigans, full skirts (think Mad Men 2010) for instant ladylike polish and what better way then to get your hands on the uber wallet friendly finds at a|Wear!
We are absolutely head over heels in love with the haute polka dot dress we scored on a|Wear - our one stop shop for trendy looks that won't break the bank! What we here at H&S love about this trend is the experimenting - how one can translate a ladylike look, ( from being demure to showing off a bit of décolleté all with class) and make it modern - and the pieces on a|Wear do just that!
So be a lady and show off your style literately with bookish to Grace Kelly like accessories, proper polka dots, and smart cover-ups for an oh so ladylike season!
We here at H&S are obsessed with French fashion designer and legend Sonia Rykiel whom is known the world over for creating knitwear in 1962 when she was unable to find soft sweaters to wear while pregnant. Her idea was a hit— actually genius! Rykiel gained immediate worldwide attention and was crowned “Queen of Knits” in 1970. Even today, her knitwear—typically in black and gray, splashes of color,embellishments and stripes—is Rykiel’s signature, though it’s not her only forte; the flame-haired designer also produces fabulous cocktail dresses and gowns, beautifully accented blouses and skirts, and elegant suiting. A legend in France and in the fashion world, the knitwear queen does not come cheap and since we don't have a Rykiel budget we shop for our embellished knitwear at our fave online boutique a|wear! From uber haute knits to beautifully crafted dresses and blouses a|wear is a fashionista on a budget's dream when it comes to luxuriating in couture on a buck! Sonia Rykiel represents a certain idea of deluxe which is (in our books) connected to high prices. On the flip-side a|wear offers women the possibility of owning a beautiful piece of fashion without going bankrupt. Bravo a|wear ... bravo!
