on neutral ground

mixing neutrals can be just as much fun as incorporating a burst of color into your ensemble.    think more than just black and white though.  shades of taupe, oatmeal, brown, navy and khaki all work well together and are far from vanilla!

Aryn K Spring 2011

I’ve been a fan of Aryn K for sometime now but recently got the opportunity to get a sneak peak at the upcoming Spring line at Ink 48 Hotel in NYC.

LA based designer April Oh keeps up with trends without being over the top.  She somehow finds a great balance that just works.

So the first thing I noticed about Spring 2011 for Aryn K is that it’s all about embellishments.  Lots of sequins, chains and even rhinestones!  Their color scheme consists of peaches, vibrant pinks and pale greens with some neutrals thrown in here and there.

As far as styles go, you can expect maxi dresses, tapered pants and cute blazers with their most expensive piece capping out at about $150?!

Nothing like fun, on trend fashion at very humble price points. 

While you can’t shop for Spring 2011 just yet, you can still score some amazing pieces from their current lines here.

You can also shop Aryn K on Piperlime.  Check out Rachel Zoe’s picks – she loves Aryn K too!

Hooray for Aryn K!

Kasil X Taylor Jacobson

Taylor Jacobson

Rachel Zoe’s former assistant can now add designer to her resume.  Since leaving Camp Zoe last Fall, Tay has been a busy little bee.  Her first design project is a collaboration with Kasil denim that is being sold online at Revolveclothing.com and Tobi.com.  Taylor created two unique styles; the Minx, which is ultra skinny and the Geek which is more of a loose, trouser fit.

Says Taylor “All of my jeans have matte black hardware and very little detail because I like clean lines.” 

I can so appreciate this!  If the design is spot-on, it doesn’t need a lot of bells and whistles.
