Designer Spotlight: Nanette Lepore

Since I've been posting this blog, I always keep my eyes (and camera!) open whenever I go shopping or flip through a magazine or catalogue. Looking back through some of my finds, I noticed alot of stuff from Nanette Lepore . So, I looked through her website and collections, and I LOVE what I see. It's somewhat of a cross between Chanel and Betsey Johnson, black/white and sophisticated but with enough lace and frills to keep the look young.

but first, some of her adorable stuff.

NL does nautical better than I've seen before, with pieces that are wearable .

I love this striped (if you look close!) jacket. It's young and fresh, especially with the oversized red buttons. And of course, cheetah! How did I not find this yesterday?

I saw this coat in Nordstrom, and let me tell you, it is even more fabulous in person. The pattern sparkles . And I just love this skirt! I think my mom passed on her weakness for black and white.

Yay shoes. Chunky heels without feeling like your Grandma's orthopedics, and funky patterns.

This is my favorite thing of hers that I've seen. It's so elegant and sophisticated!
