Style.com quote:
"Their clothes mostly read as new—not old—Mugler. They borrowed certain signatures from the house's expansive vocabulary: the strong shoulders on the jackets, the shorn lapels, something of the originator's talent as a colorist. But they were quieter than Mugler's own brand of bombast, and less witty; they brought out the sinister side of suiting, the darker connotations of uniform"

Making an Entrance: Bright Red double-breasted jacket, maroon pants, leather gloves and luxe "fanny/hip" pack, Louis Vuitton Fall/Winter 2011

Tim Blanks of Style.com summed it up like this: A Motel Red blouson unzipped to reveal a peek of quilted black leather (Lynch's motels concealed dark secrets, too). The footwear was schizophrenia in a shoe. And the final evening jacket in dusty black dévoré velvet looked well and truly worn in, almost Amish in its sobriety, bar the sprinkle of sequins that added a sparkle of sin. It was the last flicker of light in a suitably strange parade.

Bobbi Brown Taupe (upper eyelid) + Mac Gold (lower eyeliner)

2010 A/W Trend! Inevitably we will see some things again and again every year..... While I browse through Lucky mag. my eyes were drawn by this classic and simple cape.

(left below) The camel cape w/ brown trim is by Lauren Moffat

 Navy w/ red trim is so fun and eye-catching too!

She also has this timeless tartan textile outwear and skirt available on her website!

Lauren Moffat's design is simple yet classic.  You can also find unexpected colored textile which she made into fun skirts and dresses! Her pieces give you both Vintage and Modern look in one. Find a chance to visit her blog, would you! ^^

Inspired by her pieces, I dug out my tartan dress which I bought last year. It is so cheap that I didn't realize it is very much for "teenagers".....until I read the label. I didn't even know about the movie "NEW MOON" back then. lol. Well, I adore the pattern so much therefore, here it shows again!

This look was created last year and I had 2 dresses underneath w/ a wool vest on top...it was COLD!
You see, the tartan/plaid pattern is so classic that you'd never get tired of it!
