My Obsession Of The Season: Tights

No longer relegated to toddlers, worn with a jumper, skirt and top, or even peeking out under jeans, tights (black, grey, etc.) are very of-the-moment chic. My newfound obsession began brewing last winter, but was pumped up full speed after visiting Vogue in Manhattan this past week and viewing the endless parade of fashionistas donning them. So in honor of my obsession du jour, this week we will take an adventure through the wonderful world of tights and all of the possibilities that exist with them. Muah!

Eyes on Bird of Prey

There are many different opinions out on LA-based line Bird of Prey. Complaints range from the line having no clear theme, to looking like a hippie mess. My little haute heart happens to adore the Spring 2008 pieces shown during Mercedes Benz Fashion Week held at Smashbox Studios on October 18, 2007 in Culver City, California. There is something very fresh about the line to me- the colors are appealing, and the cuts and fabrics are very LA laidback-glam. Check it out!!!
