Natalia Alaverdian, Girl Crush in (Red)

OK, my love affair with red continues. And my girl crush for Natalia deepened. She looks brilliant in red.

Military Chic, Natalia

Harper's Bazaar Russia's Natalia Alverdian wowed street style addicts like myself with this amazing military inspired and lace combo in February during the Milan F/W 2010 collections. A combination that subsequently graced the racks of fashion-favorite boutiques like Miu Miu this fall.

The super-chic stylist nailed the look again during the Milan SS2011 collections; this time in a version adapted for the warmer Fall climate. Winter or Fall, she never falls out of line.

One

Two stylish versions of the one shoulder neckline. Miroslava's dress is actually symmetrical but she channels her inner stylist, loses one shoulder (which she strategically places under her belt to the left) and layers this gorgeous pleated dress over a white tank top for a cool optical effect.

Natalia is a girl after my heart (I love her style) with this mini-version paired with her incredible oversize leopard print clutch and YSL bridge sandals.

icon faded blue, cut and torn... and more

Did you ever think that the cut-off jean (a frayed slither here on Jessica) would ever reach its current position as an iconic symbol of cool? These "denim panties," as Daria Veledeyeva, EIC of Harper's Russia, calls the wardrobe staple of her friend and colleague Natalia Alaverdian, are a product of the grunge era, a Kate Moss favorite, an off-duty model must and a music-festival uniform, are still going super-strong on the streets and have made their way onto the racks of retailers such as J-Crew and Club Monaco. And I'd place a small wager that they will be around for a little while longer. I myself am day dreaming of layering them over oatmeal and grey Wolford tights in the fall. You?

And the more: great inspiration for fall accessories by way of Jessica's vintage bag and boots.
As I get in the mood to hit the stores for a little "back to school" shopping, Jessica's vintage handbag comes as the perfect source of inspiration. I want to show you a bag that I think I'll pick up at Barney's tomorrow (in case you didn't know, my family and I have been in East Hampton since the beginning of the month. My husband says that I should go into the city tomorrow for some shopping, he's had enough of me. Gosh darn it. Being forced into the city for shopping! Who does he think he is?). The bag is by J.W.Hulme, what do you think? If you're interested in checking out some of their other bags, visit J.W.Hulme Co.

But, it's really Jessica's boots that I am drooling over. Yes I used the term drooling. Don't you? I've decided that I am going to O.D. on this style this season. Here are links to my top-three choices: Chloe, Proenza Schouler and A.P.C. Which ones do you like?? I think that they are a chic solution to prevent fashion week-induced achy feet.

Natalia's pleats please

Natalia looking flirty chic in this fun pleated mini.

P.S. I think that my new favorite color combo from fall 2009 has definitely got to be black with different shades of red. So theatrical! What about you, do you like?

The Cutoff

Denim cutoffs were a favorite among fashion's most stylish this past fashion month. My favorite versions included acid washed ones worn by Natalia from Harper's Russia.



And these extra chic vintage ones with exposed pocket lining.
