PUNK PRINCESS OF THE RED CARPET

by Elizabeth

New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art Gala, aka the 'it' fashion party of the year, went punk for the costume institute exhibit this year. The Met Gala's 'Punk Chaos to Couture' exhibit opening was hosted by actress, Rooney Mara and designer, Riccardo Tisci of Givenchy. 

All of Hollywood's best came dressed in their best and many embraced the theme with spikes, studs, chains and gothic inspired gowns. 

Here are our picks for Best Punk Looks:

Back to the 80s

by The Social Butterfly

We all loved and adored Sex and the City (SATC) - new episode or rerun, it didn't matter; it was the ultimate girl show! Recently a 'prequel' has premiered showcasing the life of a young Carrie Bradshaw based on the author, Candace Bushnell's book, The Carrie Diaries.

Could The Carrie Diaries have the same impact on the fashion world as SATC or is this another high school TV show about teenage gossip and heartbreaks?

Will the young Carrie Bradshaw, played by actress, AnnaSophia Robb, mirror the Carrie Bradshaw fans fell in love with or will she speak to a new, younger fan base that sees her as a separate character? 

Stay tuned to find out! I am excited to see what comes of the show despite its mixed reviews, I am not ready to give up on it just yet, but I would like to see more fashion talk!

 

Share your thoughts with us! What do you think of the show?

Travelling Essentials

by The Social Butterfly

Airport Chic

 

Travelling in style has never been easier! 

 

1. Easy style with leggings and layers. Never know what climate to expect on a plane. 

2. A scarf to bundle up in.

3. A watch to keep up with changing time zones.

4. No-fuss jewellery that can work with all the outfits you packed.

5. Some sunglasses for when you land. Even the cloudiest of cities can be too bright to bear after a sleepless night. 

6. Lip balm to keep your lips hydrated. 

7. Some great reading material like fashion magazines or a book to keep you entertained.

8. A fabulously large bag to tote around all these goodies.

9. A messy bun does the trick when you need your hair out of your face and a relaxed do.

10. Last but not least fly in style with your BUTTERFLY TWISTS! In a range of styles to suit your personality. They are comfortable, convenient and chic, what more could you ask for :)?

Awe-inspiring Looks for Autumn

by The Social Butterfly

Girl Meets Boy-ish Trend

The White and Black Jacket: Loving this look that can add a little bit of glamour to jeans, and make the perfect contrast with a brightly-hued skirt. Best of all it’s a piece in your closet that can go from day to night!

 

Double Monk Straps – every bootie needs them! We’ve always seen them on men’s footwear but now we can wear them too! Such a great look for ankle boots.


Chic Equestrian

The Equestrian Detail: It’s all in the details and this season it is all about those equestrian bits on your favourite accessories like watches, belts, jewellery, handbags, and tops! Pair this trend with a luxurious autumn hue like cognac to give your outfit a polished, chic look. Update this look by wearing multiple necklace strands and stacking up those bangles.


Colour Crush

The Ox Blood/Bordeaux/ Burgundy/Maroon Madness: I just can’t stop wearing my beautiful burgundy velvet Scarletts! It is a dark yet vibrant colour that epitomizes glamour and confidence. I love this colour and have already started incorporating it into my wardrobe! Nails, lipstick, shoes, skirts, tops, jeans, handbag… the possibilities are endless!


Luxurious in Leather

The Leather Skirt: Luxe leather style is perfection for fall. Too much of a bold look for you? Buy an A-line skirt rather than a pencil skirt or leather skinnies. It is a bit more playful, feminine and less dominatrix. But hey I would go for all three!

 

Brocade Beauty

Metallic Brocade: A detailed delicate fabric with threads of lurex intertwined to make this material feel ultra rich. Talk about recycled fashion! Brocade was huge in the 17th century and now it’s back! I love this elegant metallic brocade on skirts, cropped pants and fitted jackets. Modernize the look with some metallic shoes and a solid coloured top! Too much to handle? Try an all black brocade pattern first!  Subtle but definitely not boring! 

Falling for these Styles
