Travel: Travel: Holiday in Italy

Posted By: KK on 08/11/09 7:23 AM | Categories: Travel

GB: I'm heading to perfect Porto Ercole for a couple of weeks for LOTS of family time, dips in the delicious Mediterranean and… come on… pizza. The look is very relaxed so I tend to spend my life in pareos and easy Boho-looking dresses.

On the plane: No matter the destination, I like to look (somewhat) put together when traveling. Jeans and ballet flats are essential as is a big roomy bag for wrap, laptop, magazines, etc.

To the Beach : PE life revolves around the port and while sarongs are the cover-up of choice, I like to bring an extra pair of shorts so I can go from the beach or boat to shopping or an early aperitivo at the Bar del Porto.

What to Wear: In the Mall

Posted By: KK on 08/11/09 2:26 AM | Categories: What to Wear

Here is a great question we received from Sheila this week. We put this outfit together around the black jumpsuit, with silver and grey
accessories and then found the leopard print sheath and voila, two
great looks to wear again and again. Really great for summer to fall transition.

"I'd like to see a last minute outfit that you could run into a local store that all malls have and get an outfit from head to toe, including all accessories – in an emergency – that you could just grab off the rack and look amazing to go to dinner or a show – spontaneity is key here. Thank you for your time."

Elle MacPherson Bar and Culotte Boyshort ($65), Cosabella Pearl Bar ($37), Cosabella Bootie Lace Thong ($18), Cosabella Soire Mesh G-String ($16), Monica Seductive Bra ($40) was $150.

LG:If I wanted to break the bank I would go with Agent Provocateur’s sexy sets, like this coy "Country Girl." For a thriftier thrill try Cosabella’s bra and knickers. Not only do I fancy the lace fabric and fabulous colors yet j’adore the support and shape they give to my décolletage.
