There is no question that the shoe of the fall season has been the Chanel two-tone slingback pump.  It has graced just about every stylish woman’s foot during fashion month.  The classic styling and neutral beige and black colors of this shoe work just as well dressed up as it does dressed down.  My favorite way to wear them is with denim; the more boyfriend-ish, or ripped hem, the better.  The clean Parisian style mixed with a little street attitude creates the perfect yin and yang.

Chokers made their appearance in a few of the Spring 16 runway shows (Dior, Chanel, J.W. Anderson), but who would have thought they would be THE trend of Spring/Summer?

I love what the “new” chokers did for Raf Simon’s last collection for Dior.  They added an immediate coolness to the looks and an accessibility of sorts to the luxury collection.  And, it seems, just about everyone else has also picked up on this trend.

Here are some of my favorite versions of chokers, all by Fallon.  They range from simple leather string ties to rhinestone decorated versions, and even incorporate the handkerchief trend.  Honestly, even a homemade, wide piece of fabric wrapped around the neck looks perfectly chic.  Do try this one at home.

Chanel never disappoints and the Spring 16 Haute Couture show was no exception.  The creativity and precision in execution, on every level, was extraordinary.

The transformation of the Grand Palais into an eco-garden set was incredible and a beautiful backdrop for the show.  While there was a wide range of designs presented, the last 15 looks were the showstoppers; the dress embellishment and capes were absolutely dreamy.  And fanny packs with your gowns?  How practical!

The makeup and hair perfectly completed it all.  I loved the double line eyeliner and “croissant” hair twist.  It made the looks  glamorous, classic, yet unexpected all at once.  One can dream, right?
