Dear Creatures A/W 2012

The Dear Creatures Fall 2012 line might be it's most playful collection yet. Inspiration for the pieces came from designers Rob & Bianca's playfully feline muses Little Dude and Mouse, 2 cats that the couple have rescued and adopted.

I must admit the Dear Creatures Fall collection is always my favorite season. Dear Creatures has a knack on creating the most perfect Fall coats, sweaters and jackets ever. This Fall season is no different with adorable outwear such as the double breasted Chelsea Coat,  the nautical Harbor Sweater and vintage chic Stella Cardigan. But what I feel is always the true treat for Dear Creatures fans are the company's dresses. Dear Creatures has created some elegant color blocking in the Penny and Gillian dresses, perfect for Holiday parties this year, along with some sharp causal dresses like the Camille and Moby dresses. What Dear Creatures fans can truly get excited about this season is that they have reissued one of their most beloved dresses, the Madeline Dress from A/W 2008. If you didn't have the chance to purchase this iconic dress before I highly recommend purchasing it now. The Madeline dress is up there in my book of definitive dresses.

Ingenue Collection

It has been said that Albert Einstein wore the exact same outfit every single day and had a closet full of the same, shirts, suits, ties, socks and shoes. Now wearing the same outfit everyday would be a little dull, but what about the same colors? Having a closet full of various styles but all in the same colorway may actually work! By having the same colorways you can create a signature look for yourself and getting dressed would be a breeze!  It's very Einstein but without the repetition- now that's genius!

The first brand I would fill my closet with to achieve this color uniformity would be Los Angeles based label Ingenue. Not only are their designs darling, but they have incorporated the chicest of color combinations into their collection- black & white! Having a closet full of Ingenue's girly, Valley of The Dolls inspired dresses, rompers and separates would be the epitome of color coordination perfection and retro sex appeal! Very smart.
