Leather & lace

Last month I joined a few of my favorite bloggers for a brunch hosted by MaxMara at the Four Season’s MKT Restaurant. The brunch was absolutely delicious, and it was so much fun to get an an up-close look at MaxMara’s beautiful fall pieces. It was like an interactive runway show where the models stopped by every table and you could ooh and ahh over the pieces (or caress their gorgeous bags if you’re a creeper like me).

I love mixing edgier pieces like this skirt with faux leather paneling and these studded shoes, with softer, sweeter pieces like this frilly, lacy top. It keeps things interesting, and not too rocker-girl -wannabe or “froo froo,” as my dad would say.
