You don't have to transplant to Lala land for the glamour of Tinseltown. Michael Kors' Very Hollywood brings the red carpet to you with scene-stealing notes of mandarin, iced bergamont, wet jasmine, ylang-ylang, raspberry, gardenia, Italian orris, vertiver and creamy amber. And for wearing you are awarded the statuesque multi-faceted sparkling bottle.
No doubt Richard Gere's wardrobe in An Officer and a Gentleman added to his swagger; it wouldn't have been as romantic-or sexy-if he'd marched into the factory to sweep Deborah Winger off her feet in anything other than his sartorially correct naval uniform.
With that said, it's not at all coincidence that menswear-including military pieces-have inspired the shapes and silhouettes of women's fashion for decades; which-as argued by many fashion historians-is when modern fashion for women actually began.
Whenever its inspired origins, we can be thankful for the modern military look above. Topshop's trench belted coat is the base for this strong ensemble while Roja's curve-skimming tube skirt with faux leather inset proves durable and stylish. Forever 21's jagged cut-out hoop earrings and assorted chain bracelet are the perfect hardware to accessorize with and Marciano's Martha cutout tote handbag is the perfect carryall for your beauty armor. Finally, rest assured Michael Antonio's Macey boot will ensure your march is stylishly in step.
Of course you've noticed actresses, music artists and style icons completing their ensembles with Alexander McQueen's Faithful bootie. A perfect example of summer-to-fall transitional footwear, splurging on this moto-bootie can toughen up your biker-inspired looks and balance out the frilliest of frocks. Wear the ankle collar zipped up for sleek style or unzip and snap the collar down for an edgier vibe.
Steve Madden's 5-inch-heeled leather Seryna is the perfect save in comparison to the "motorcycle jacket in a boot" if your Benjamins don't add up to McQueens.
Steal this style with GOjane's zipper trim fold-over bootie in crinkle patent; also available in red.
style is so personal . . . it is a visual extension of thoughts, feelings and moods, which is why it can change ever so subtly or in the most grandeur fashion and, when it is genuine, can never truly be wrong.
