Fall For Fringe

(Via Stephanie Fishwick)

I am loving Fall's "fringe benefits in fashion." In fact, I have always loved fringe, and have a few good but old pieces in my closet - a vintage Chanel bag, great Armani trousers, and a silk dress with fringe. If you do, too, it's time to take them out! Fringe adds instant flair and flirtiness to any outfit. It also nods towards Western, but I shy away from the cowgirl look.  For 2014, fringe takes on a global chic vibe.  In my hunt for all things fringed and fabulous, I found many good pieces, and the edit was not easy. The most wonderful fringed finds were also the most expensive.  I tried, folks. So let's think investment pieces!

My Fringed Finds For Fall

Sunday Brunch Dress

(Via Ooh la Frou Frou)

Sunday Brunch. What a lovely tradition.  With Mother's Day this weekend, a good amount of you will be taking Mom to brunch, or being wined and dined yourself.  And that's my inspiration for today.  Sunday Brunch calls for taking a minute and planning your outfit - making an effort. The meal itself, is a step up from your normal bowl of cereal, and your look should be elevated, too.  The perfect answer to "special" is a Dress!

Here: 10 Sunday Brunch Dresses

Red Valentino Butterfly Coat Dress
Always elegant with a touch of playfulness, Red Valentino dresses are the chic choice for any occasion. I also will say that Valentino does "short" better than any other designer.
Neiman Marcus

To Be Adored Chiara Dress
Oh how I wish this silk sensation was longer.  It is so my type of look. Love the exposed shoulder.  Fun for a laid back type of brunch.
Nasty Gal

Clover Canyon Corinthian Vase Dress
I am totally smitten with this line of clothing for Spring.  And this Pre-Fall style doesn't disappoint either. It is just a bit less painterly and more graphic, in a very good way, than the Spring line. Watch this dress move in a video at
Neiman Marcus

Forever Unique 
Structured Dress with Bow
Isn't this dress smart? The fabulous structure and details are uncommon today.  The peplum is figure flattering, too.  Wear it to The Four Seasons in Chicago or Beverly Hills, Jean Georges NYC or your own Country Club for Mother's Day Brunch.
ASOS

Matthew Williamson Silk Floral Print
What a pretty printed piece! Easy to wear, too.
Style Bop

Dolce Vita Frock by Tracy Reese
Love this feminine fit and flare dress. It just screams Spring and Summer!
Tracy Reese

Free People Wisteria Maxi
I like a good maxi for a Sunday Brunch, especially when dining outside. This one is gorgeous and gauzy. I think it fits the bill.
Free People

Rebecca Taylor Lace Shift Dress
This is usually not my style but it deserves a closer look. When enlarged, the details are just so pretty. Its' generous cut and elbow link sleeves will be quite flattering to most.
Nordstrom's

Jean Paul Gaultier Maxi
Double layered and just lovely! It's a modern take on Hawaiian print.
Find it at 
Shop Bop or Nordstrom's

DKNY'S Asymmetrical Stretch Dress
So very modern with a feminine touch of edge.  Love it!
DKNY
