London Fashion Week: House of CCUOCO’s Persephone Collection

October 8, 2015 in Fashion

San Francisco-based brand House of CCUOCO made yet another splash at London Fashion Week this season.

After getting to witness the beauty of the Spring/Summer 2015 collection in person last year, I was excited to see what the Spring/Summer 2016 season would hold.

Designer Candice Cuoco took a brief hiatus from designing for House of CCUOCO this Spring to design for – Drumroll please – Project Runway! It’s been a blast watching her conquer challenge after challenge each week and I can’t wait for the exciting conclusion.

Sitting in San Francisco viewing pictures may be a far cry from standing backstage at a runway show as I did last season, but they took my breath away nonetheless.

Cape Shopping

August 21, 2014 in Fashion

With my every waking moment consumed with daydreams about London Fashion Week I’ve got capes on the brain. I love the classic style and fun, flattering silhouette – It’s the perfect retro inspired topper for my trip. The hard part is going to be narrowing it down to the perfect one!

Here are my favorite picks so far…

{L’Agence Faux Leather Capelet – On SALE at Neiman!}

This cropped capelet is classic with clean lines, but the faux leather material gives it a little something extra – It’s an eye-catching texture that will give a look the perfect finishing touch.

Part Little Red Riding Hood, part Belle from Beauty And The Beast – I just adore this lipstick red version. Tres chic!

{Valentine Capelet from Humble Chic}

This is a very versatile piece – The neutral grey will go with anything from jeans to a little black dress, and the buttons & detailing give it a little oomph.

Also… Can we please talk about this cape dress? Valentino – J’adore!

Fashion Week Inspiration

August 13, 2014 in Fashion

I’m beside myself with excitement for my upcoming trip to London for Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week. Not only do I utterly adore London, but I get to watch my brilliant friend, San Francisco fashion designer Candice Cuoco, show her CCUOCO collection!

I’ve attended NYFW before but this will be my first time at London Fashion Week, so wat’s the first thing that I did after making the decision to go? Buy my dream bag and start planning my outfits, of course! And no, common sense is not a factor when it comes to handbags. 🙂

I love visual inspiration and Pinterest immediately became one of my favorite social media platforms when it launched. Keep scrolling for some of my London Fashion Week inspiration!

{Bold outerwear & fun capes are high up there on my To Buy List for the trip!}

{Eye-catching accessories & layered statement jewelry are non-negotiable}

{I’m not a pink-wearing girl but everything about this look kills me – The statement coat, the too-fun-for-words black lace bunny ears, the killer footwear, the bold handbag…}
