What Lisa Loves

H&M Biker Jacket | DSW Diba Kayden Boot | BaubleBar Coral Technicolor Block Gem Bib | Anthropologie Rastro Embroidered Scarf

Since October is now in full swing, I've decided to compile a list of loves that I am currently obsessing over. There's something super inspiring about this month, and I don't know if it's the change of color in the leaves or the richness of everything around me. I just feel like things are going to 'fall' into place. Next weekend I'll be shopping for apples, and spending time with family. The following weekend I will be starting to put together my final portfolio. I am very excited, if you can't tell. So enjoy some of my favorites right now that might just inspire you! Have a great Autumn weekend!
 
Always,
Mostly Lisa

Not to be too cheesy, but I remember when I was younger always trying on my mother's perfume. She has this great vanity with a huge mirror that has been around since I can remember, and I would always try to emulate her with the scents that she wore. Her favorite perfume is still Estee Lauder's Pleasure, and was a favorite of mine while I was in high school. It made me feel like a woman, or maybe just more sophisticated. I think that is what I love about perfumes, they can make you feel something just by a few spritzes that you put on. As I've gotten older I've switched up what scents I wear on a daily basis, some are designer fragrances and some are basics. These are just a few of my favorites at the moment, but I am sure some will stay with me forever.  (Image credit: The Glitter Guide)
 
 
So I ask you, what are your favorite scents?
 
Always,
Mostly Lisa
Alice + Olivia 
     For Spring 2013, the Alice + Olivia girl lives in 1950s chic. An 'American dream' silhouette with little white gloves and cardigans that drape over her shoulders. Dresses that you can wear after hours and feel flirty in. Bright colors that won't attract too much attention to a girl that is sweet to the core. 
 
Badgley Mischka 
     With inspiration from 'A Midnight Summer's Dream', the Badgley Mischka girl is one who likes to frolick in the woods. She doesn't care if her updo comes undone, it just adds to the overall appearance she creates. She wears gowns that sparkle and are adorned with tulle and lace. She is ethereal for Spring. 
Carmen Marc Valvo 
     Oversized peplums, bold and bright red and blues, and glitter everywhere. The Carmen Marc Valvo wearer is a sophisticated woman who knows what she wants and gets it by wearing all or nothing style choices. But she also knows that you should always be restrained too, with pretty floral prints and beaded sheaths.
 
Christian Siriano

     The Christian Siriano woman is inspired by the ballet. She's intricate and articulate. Liking to dance in soft pinks and blues, and most especially gorgeous shades of white. She likes elegant, structured dresses that are embellished with feathers and pearls. Spring 2013 will be her season.
 
Jason Wu 

     With inspiration from some "erotically charged" images by Helmut Lang and the "dream-like" photographs of Lillian Bassman, the Jason Wu woman is magically combined in her style for Spring 2013. She can be lady like and bad ass at the same time. She can expose skin in tasteful leather harnesses. Her palette of colors are muted, like dark blues and darker hues of white.
 
Monique Lhuiller 
     The Monique Lhuiller woman is inspired by Claude Monet. She finds the beauty that is underneath the water's surface. Being comfortable in her own skin, she can wear bodycon printed sheaths to strapless dresses with peplums. The red carpet will stand in stark contrast to the ethereal and gorgeous shades of blue for Spring 2013. 
 

Karen Walker 
     The Karen Walker woman is a little offbeat, but that's only because she has her own sense of style. High-waisted pants, funky prints and sweet frocks are a must for her wardrobe. Pastels and luminescent fabrics offer a feminine touch. She also likes being a tomboy by the way her outfits fit her body, but that's to be comfortable during Spring. 
 


 Marc by Marc Jacobs 




     The Marc by Marc Jacobs wearer is women and men. They are the "cool kids" in school. You know, the ones who you envy because they are always wearing the latest trends. These women and men wear stripes and layers because it's just what they do. They look back on different eras and incorporate it into their wardrobe. Gingham prints and rebel hues will all be in their sights for Spring 2013.
 
 Oscar de la Renta 
     You can do no wrong with the ODLR woman. She's a classic. Her silhouette is reminiscent of Audrey Hepburn. She knows a well tailored pencil skirt and blazer will never go out of style. She's whimsical and chic. Modesty is her strong suit, always making sure her skirt ends over her knee. Not saying that a small slit on her dress, that shows a hint of leg, is too risque. Her Spring 2013 will be pops of pink, blues, and greens.
 
Reem Acra 
     The well-dressed woman wears Reem Acra. She's a woman-about-town. Sexy dresses and gowns with daring illusions will no doubt delight the wearer. Her silhouette is show stopping and sexy. Spring 2013 will bring out sequins and glitter.   
Tadashi Shoji 
     The Tadashi Shoji woman travels The Silk Road. She begins her travels in Italy and ventures all the way to China. Stopping along the way with capped sleeves and lace skirts. She loves embroidery that showcases neutrals, reds, and blues. Her Spring will be busy.
 
Tory Burch 
     The Tory Burch woman for Spring 2013 is going to be boho chic. She wears fitted skirts, longer hems, and obsesses over embellished jackets. She enjoys Spring's sunny days, and often grows flowers in her garden.
