Style Taylor Made

My latest style crush is Marie Claire Accessories Editor Taylor Tomasi Hill. Hill's deeply personal; part urban eclectic, part luxe style is mind blowing. She possesses the kind of style I strive for daily, but never seem to achieve. Every Fashion Week she knocks it out of the park and this year has been no exception. For Spring I plan to experiment with some of the key elements of her looks below:

1) Sneakers and Skirts- Hill combines comfort and chic in these standout looks.  The studded Loubs are killing, the utility skirt with tulle is feminine and edgy at once, and the Grey outfit with hints of Turq is divine. This is hands down the look I am most excited to try. 

2) Longer Hemlines- Hill proves that longer hemlines don't have to be dowdy. In fact with the right styling they are downright sexy. Add a killer heel or a little leather, leopard, or lace to do the trick.

3) Splashes of Color- Color is huge for spring and Hill demonstrates how to work it into your look with ease. Go bold with an oversized blazer or add a hint of interest and fun with a colorful clutch. In both cases Hill keeps her look balanced by pairing color with neutrals and keeping the overall look sharp by picking tailored silhouettes.

4) No Nonsense Neutrals- In my book you can never go wrong with neutrals. Hill's pairing of interesting silhouettes in neutral whites, blacks, greys, and olives (my favorite “new” neutral) creates a look that appears effortless as well as chic.

Like Burger King Have it your Way!- Jeff Silverman Made-to-Order Shoes:

The coveted for Jeff Silverman

OMG! I think the fashion gods may have read my mind. At JeffSilverman.com the masses get to be their own designer and customize shoes and handbags to their liking.  I could muse on and on about how dope I think this is, but instead here is the scoop from the horses mouth. According to the website the process goes a little something like this:

Have you ever wanted to design your own shoes or handbags?
Have you known exactly what you were looking for, but couldn't find it anywhere?
Are you tired of people telling you what's fashionable, and want to just decide for yourself?
Welcome. You should feel right at home here.
We can create almost anything you want. Once you submit your instructions (via email, Photoshop image or any other means you prefer), we'll provide high-resolution photographs from six different angles to make sure it's exactly what you want. No more than three weeks later, the shoes will arrive on your doorstep. Sound too easy?

Umm.............. can I say awesome!!!!!!!!!!! I have been on a search for the perfect black handbag for like a year now. I think I might test this out and see if it is really as awesome as it seems! More to come.........
