Runway to Real Way: Neon & Neutral

This look is based on the Spring 2011 runway look by Aquilano.Rimondi. The neon orange blazer is complimented with neutral shorts and clutch. Gold-tone accessories carry on the neutral scheme. I love the chain-anklet sandals because they are so sophisticated and sexy. The green tee and the blue collar necklace keep things interesting... And the outcome is a sleek and dressy look that is fresh for this season.

Modern Shift Dress

How about a splash of lemon yellow for the summer. This outfit features a charming shift dress with front draped detail by Karen Millen. The top handle bag from Dolce & Gabbana has woven rafia details to play off the braided detail on the Prada platform sandals. Wear this to the office and top it with a wide-brimmed straw hat to protect your precious skin from the harmful UV rays when you go outside. :)

Givenchy Leopard Halter Top

This halter top by Givenchy has subtle leopard print and very chic zipper details. I make a dressy casual outfit with a pair of sleek white shorts, wooden heel sandals and a quilted handbag.

42. Melbourne

Number 42 in the 60 City Challenge is Melbourne, Australia. I found this very lovely and romantic picture of Melbourne. It reminded me of Audrey Hepburn and her classic style. This dress in neutral colors seemed to exude that same elegance. Simple pearl earrings, pearl necklace, a clutch from Zara kept with the same theme. The gorgeous Valentino (my favorite designer) satin sandals with crystal and bow embellishment brought a little surprise to the outfit. (You should click to see the big image of the shoes. They are fabulous!!)

41. Athens

Number 41 in the 60 City Challenge is Athens. I couldn't resist Greek's famous white and bright blue palette. The white tunic dress looked so light and airy. The bow detail and the blue embroidery on one side of the hem are very cute as well. I picked a one-shoulder swim
suit for the set. Blue thong sandals with silver tone studs seemed the perfect choice for Greece. Finally, the tote bag and the earrings had similar circular designs in blue. I thought they look Greek and would go well with the outfit. Oh, one last thing. I found Nars lip gloss called Greek Holiday. It's supposed to look like sparkling pink sand. How cute!

39. Casablanca

This is number 39 in the 60 City Challenge. Casablanca is in Morocco. I found so many beautiful pictures of Casablanca and Morocco when I was looking for some to use in the set that I decided to put it on my travel list.

The dress is a kaftan style dress to go with traditional Moroccan costumes. While  the real Moroccan style kaftans are a lot more ornate and elegant, this dress is more in the minimalist side. I dress it up with gold sandals, metallic leather bag with cute lasercut details, and a statement shell necklace.

Pink

The oversized pink flower graphic on the black tee is so pretty. I pair it with black skinny trousers and top it with a pink belted summer jacket. To keep the outfit casual, I choose pink sandals that feature buckle details to play off the same details on the bag. The blue color on the scarf helps break the color monotony.
