Cop This Look: Zoë Kravitz

cop this look zoe kravitz leather dress

Zoë Kravitz, daughter of bohemian beauty Lisa Bonet and rock star Lenny Kravitz, is naturally quite the trendsetter. Her innately cool sense of style is definitely an inspiration for me. Recently she was spotted at an event looking super chic in an Alexander Wang mini leather shift dress and sleek pointy pumps. This outfit is so effortless but edgy and glamorous at the same time which makes it totally memorable. No wonder why she has hot boyfriend Penn Badgely by her side and tons of acting and modeling projects coming up! As soon as this leather-look dress by Evil Twin hit the site it reminded me of her flawless ensemble.  Learn how to get her look:

Evil Twin SS’12: Black Magic Woman

Bustiers, leather fringe, ripped denim, and maxi skirts, all done in sun-baked, earthy hues like ochre and rust, make up the majority of Evil Twin‘s new S/S ’12 lookbook.  The overall feel can only truly be captured by a weekend at Coachella (or a slightly more gothic Woodstock), but we think the Aussie brand is as close as you can get to a sun-beaten desert without booking a plane ticket to California.

With names like the “Joplin” and “Brown Sugar,” Evil Twin isn’t trying to hide where their inspiration comes from. Think rocker meets hippie meets cowgirl, and anything that would help you get in touch with your wild side. If you need further explanation, we can put it in clearer music terms for you – they’ve dubbed the lookbook “Black Magic Woman,” after the 1968 bluesy rock single from none other than Fleetwood Mac.

Build This Look: Mixing Work with Play

Most office environments can be a bit blah when it comes to showcasing personal style. But not ours! Yes, our office is probably better than yours ;) We have young ladies running around that bring something fresh to the office everyday and I LOVE it. Our business casual is probably on a different scale then most. So I thought I should show you how we do it.

One thing I am a big fan of is mixing patterns. I think it brings out what is really going on in my head. I will definitely be that old crazy lady where nothing on matches…and look forward to it! But until then here is the clever way of pairing prints without catching too many crazy looks.

What Goes Around….

…Always comes back around.

The art of velvet wearing is said to have originated in Kashmir at the top of the 14th century and was reserved for the nobility. That’s why we cannot contain our excitement about Jeffery Campbell’s Night Walk shoe in these chic velvety jewel tones. While we can’t promise that your Night Walk’s will come with a band of faithful minions or a dynasty of your own, we can assure you that once you slip these on there will be no confusion about who is the head b***h in charge.

What To Wear: First Date Edition!

First dates always have the potential of being super awkward and the anticipation can be extremely nerve-racking, so the last thing you need to be worrying about is your outfit.  Here’s a look that will have you feeling amazing and comfortable all night, even if the date turns out to be just the opposite.

This first date look features Free People’s (The Best of Both Worlds Buttondown Top in Shell), providing just the right amount of flirty and sexy with sheer fabric on the sleeves and lower body.   To keep things sexy but casual, we paired this top with The Tight Jean in Very Stretch OD Black by Cheap Monday.  Adding the necessary touch of edge is The Berlin Bomber by Unif, which also serves as a great outer layer with its faux fur collar trim and the flirty delicateness of the Damsel Shoe in Natural Floral by Jeffrey Campbell adds the perfect contrast to the whole outfit. Finally, as with any outfit, accessories are not to be forgotten.  Featured here are The Houligan Felt Hat by *Accessories Boutique, The Badu Ring by Soho Collection, The Double Chain Spike Necklace, The Pyramid Stud Handpiece, and The Open Crystal Ring, all by Luv AJ.

Eliza Dushku in Sam Edelman and Wildfox

Eliza Dushku recently looked stunning in her sleek, modern getup rooted in classic black and cream, retro T-strap shoes, and perfect red lip and nails. Looking to borrow her style? You’re in luck! She is sporting the uber sexy Scarlett Shoe in Egyptian Gold and Black by Sam Edelman and the Foxy Two Finger Ring by Wildfox. This is a great look to wear out because it is not over the top but it also doesn’t sacrifice fashionable details. Let us know, do you dig this look as much as us?

The inner spikes are much more flat and dull than the outer. So you will just be attacking innocent passerby’s and not yourself!
