I made a list of people I would absolutely love to sit down and have lunch with. Karl Lagerfeld is on my list. The man is a genius, along with being completely unpredictable and bordering on insane at times. But every great genius in this world’s history has been plagued with insanity (think Van Gogh and the cutting off of his ear). While this top can be scary, it is also intriguing. The K Karl Lagerfeld Anja Vest Top showcases the genius, with a red motif printed on the front of the black cotton top. His face becomes the highlight of your outfit, and those that question who the man is obviously don’t know the sheer fashion genius.

While browsing the sale section of NAP, this t-shirt caught my eye. It is simple, feminine, and CHEAP! Yes, marked down 50% off. The single pocket with a bow on the front is the perfect touch to give the Burberry Cap Sleeve T-Shirt an extra touch. The material is a demi-sheer navy and there is a crew neck top. It is simple, sure, but the bow and pocket are the perfect preppy cute touch for me.

Long and lean is the theme of the season. Luckily, I have both parts down (at 5′10), but it is time I re-vamp my wardrobe with some great pieces to make my legs look endless. The Nanette Lepore Ruched Skirt is a sleek pencil style in a deep navy with an exposed back zip. The skirt fits high on the waist, and is perfect to pair with a fitted tucked top, like the Nanette Lepore Silk Top. This top is a vibrant teal with a crew neckline and knot and keyhole detail. Both are sleek and sexy, and the prices are not bad either.

In college I had a psychology class with many of my guy friends and a teacher that was beautiful. Even I admit it, she was beautiful. And everyday she put together an outfit that would make all of the guys oh and ah. All I could think was ‘Hey teacher, leave those kids alone!’. But looking prim, proper, and mysterious is alluring. The Dolce & Gabbana Silk Blouse covers your top, yet is sheer so it draws subtle attention. The self-tie bow neck reminds me of my sexy psych teacher, and it is not a bad thing. There are button fastening on the front, a cuffed shoulder seam, and a slight puff on the sleeves.

Only until I was in my 20’s did I finally embrace the color purple. For the longest time I swore that it made me look like a bruise, until one day I learned that purple is one of the most flattering colors for someone with blond hair and blue eyes. Now that I embrace the color purple, there are many viable options to look stylish from head to toe. The Dior Hammered Silk Belted Top is made with textural hammered silk with a chic satin weave. The pintucked pleating down the bodice adds a stunning dimension along with the elaborately draped panel. Because of the extra fabric on the front, if your not in perfect shape this top will hide any extra muffin, cake, or carb you ate. There is an adjustable snakeskin belt with a crystal-encrusted buckle that can be tightened above the subtle flare at the hem. A completely stunning number that will only call for the simplest pants or skirt.
