{the tenth muse}

I am loving Diego Uchitel's luminous story for Gravure Magazine starring the beautiful Anastasia who is an ethereal goddess in vintage pieces echoing early twentieth century style. These images give me thoughts of drifting to the sheer romance of cozy winter nights...

{casual chic}

Happy Monday my Deshabille readers. I didn't mean to go missing for so long, but as you know working in the fashion industry means travel, long hours and sometimes mini vacay's for peace of mind. I took a little trip to South Lake Tahoe for some R&R where I took long walks along the lake, sat in cafes and took in the last days of the warm sun against my skin. I am not certain when I will get a chance to post next, but for now I am leaving you with a snap of my most luxuriously relaxing weekend...bye for now.

{maximize}

The black maxi skirt is a closet staple that started receiving an increasing amount of play over Summer, so why not carry the look into Fall and maximize your wardrobe. If you're looking for some transitioning styling inspiration make use of your Summer maxi skirt and add a long sleeve blouse for a sleek sophisticated look.

{br outlet}

While the rest of the retail industry is in recovery mode a rising star has emerged, the outlet mall. Outlets have become top of mind for many shoppers mainly because the strong focus on value. Outlets offer anywhere from 30% to 70% off retail prices from their brand stores. BRFS, Banana Republic Factory Store, is the go-to for many customers who are looking for their quintessential wear to work outfit, chic weekend wear and luxe lounge wear. As a Senior Merchant at BRFS and avid fashion blogger, I took the opportunity to share our Fall collection with my readers. The Short Sleeve Textured Printed Belted Dress, Pointelle Crew Cardigan & Crocodile Patent Clutch are perfect pieces to help you transition into Fall. Head to an Outlet Mall near you and shop over 200 new Fall styles at BRFS. Run don't walk...

Be sure to check out additional looks on the Banana Republic Factory Store facebook page. A special someone will be featured on our FB page this week, look out for it!
