Kitten Couture: Lovely Lariats

As many of you know from this blog and my other blogs, I am the designer of Kitten Couture which is resort inspired lifestyle wear that is perfect to wear for a variety of occassions. This month I launched a new collection of lariats which I feel to be a way that each person can wear in an individual way. Whether you tie them or wrap them, it's unique to you and what you're wearing. I have included a sampling; however, feel free to visit my site to find more that you'll love.





The Erika Lariat is like the baby of my collection. I love the use of Carnelian that dominates this piece as well as the Mother of Pearl and Snail Shell as well. It's such a great piece that reminds me of elements of sunset and wears well whether you're in the summer or in the fall. It's great to have a classic piece that's perfect for all seasons.





Although all pieces that I create envoke a resort life, Ariel Lariat brings in the beach and everything that you can think of that goes with it. This turquoise piece with Botswana Agate and use of Mother of Pearl looks so nice with turquoise dresses or simple pieces like a white tank and a pair of jeans. It truly is a great look.





The Giselle Lariat is a perfect Spring and Fall piece that uses Citrine, Botswana Agate, Tiger Eye and other shells to present a neutral palate with slight pops of color. This piece works well with a variety of looks.





The Melanie Lariat is a great neutral piece that brings in cream and brown. I love that it incorporates Tiger Eye, polished wooden pieces, shell and other elements that make this a great piece to add to your outfit.

Nan Kempner: American Chic @ The Met

Amazing things are going on all over this blog and others that I am associated with. Although See Pretty Things has many posts on there, I can never be without Kitten Couture Blog for too long, it's the original and what lead the way to all the things that I write about. In that vein, when you think about classics and what leads the way, I have amazing pictures from the Nan Kempner: American Chic event at the Met that were taken and attended by Julie of Coutorture! I love being apart of this network to either be apart of fun events such as Lucky Shops (had fun bulking up my closets at a discounted price) or simply getting great footage of an event.

At this event, there were a variety of pieces exhibited that reflected many of our classic designers and I must say that it's breathtaking and I would have loved to see this in person during this event! For more pictures, take a click on the title link to see more items!








This amazing piece by Valentino is absolutely stunning and gives "lady in red" an entirely new meaning. Although in my normal day to day activities I would be a tad overdressed in this ensemble, we all could imagine wearing something like this to a special launch or fabulous gala.







This YSL dress reminds me of something that is geisha related. I love learning about these women and something I learned was that in Japanese culture, they felt that seeing the lower arm pouring tea or seeing their neck area was something of a sensual element. I think that this idea relates to this dress. I love that it is a sweeping dress and that this neck detail is delicate and yet very sexy.







I love the idea behind this outfit. I love the dress and the sheer cape. Another fabulous YSL ensemble and the color is so rich that anyone would look regal wearing this. Seeing these pieces and the statements that they make inspires you as you design. I think regardless of what we design or purchase, we want to wear something that makes a statement about what we are or where we are going. This exhibit has so many of these looks that it's fun to take a few moments and check it out!
