Favourite Fragrances for Fall 2011

Ever have a hard time picking out the right fragrance? No problem! LVP's guide to some of the best fragrances for Fall 2011 is right here in your hand and is going to make your life just that much easier!

Perfumes are a necessity of course, but also work great as gifts (especially when you have absolutely no idea what to give that special someone)

Not a fan of very sweet, nor very spice & overpowering fragrances, this set is just perfect - but also keeping in mind the season, this lot mostly consists of more spicy-ish scents rather than the summer florals. Enjoy!

NYFW 2011 Street Style - Part I

Fashion week is a great time to spot crazy, fun, and interesting looks, not to mention the perfectly composed outfits from the industry's leading ladies and men. 

LVP has it's pick of it's favourite street style looks. However, we had so many we could not fit them in one composite with doing justice to the pictures, so here's part 1, come back tomorrow for part 2!!

I . Laurel Patin - Assistant Beauty Editor at Teen Vogue - We love the daring green pants, and the pairing with natural tan leather brown loafers and sling bag

II . Sheena Smith - Accessories Editor at Teen Vogue - We love the fall themed palette - Burberry Sweater, Daughter of the Revolution Jeans, Miu Miu Bag

III . This style is effortlessly chic. The mix of prints is perfectly balance with the monochromatic color palette (it looks really comfortable too) - and LVP just loves the clutch! This amazing photo is from The Sartorialist

IV. Katherine Bernard - Features Assistant at Vogue US with an amazing Kate Spade NYTimes Clutch (we thought it was the actual paper!)

V. Christina Peres of Fashionologie - Again, we love the tan leather accents and the simple but classic look of pairing the blazer with jeans. We love the umbrella too ;)

VI . One of our favorites, this fashionista spotted at the Helmut Lang Show, pairs this seasons Jewel Tones (more on that later) perfectly and completes the look with a dark leather tote. We love the whole look!

VII . Hanneli Mustaparta - A contributing photographer to Vogue blends her wardrobe from summer to fall seamlessly with pairing a bright and fun pant - echoing summer's palette but also playing with this season's staple - with a perfect green silky top. We love the funky shades too - and the eco friendly/healthy take on transport!

VIII .  A classic and perfect look, blogger Jessica Stein pairs red bottoms with a simple and plain black top and leopard print flats. Refinery 29 even named it one of the safe go-to perfect outfits!

Hope you enjoyed and come back tomorrow for Part II 

Fall Fashion: Who wears the pants in your relationship?

So I usually change up the posts, but this time in honor of New York Fashion Week, I'm doing a couple consecutive fashion posts - however for this fall - not for next spring/summer. Honestly as much as I love #nyfw, i feel it gets so overwhelming to stay on top of it....I'm just getting into changing my wardrobe for fall, and they're already releasing S/S 12 styles..I have to make notes to remember in 6 months time!! ;) (So didn't mean any  of the above in a negative way...just a thought!)

Enjoy today's post!

Don't forget: This print can be a little overwhelming, and your look can get gaudy very fast!

Make sure you pair animal prints with lots of neutrals, especially black, whether its black leggings and/or a black tote, and/or a black top.  Remember not to have one to many animal print items on!

Hope you enjoy!
