This first look was one of my favorites. Its classy, minimalistic, and dare I say, a bit sexy. I paired this form-fitting velvet MINKPINK dress with this gem vest by Habsa. When I put on this outfit, all of my insecurities melted away and I felt 100% fierce. 

This second look is so fun! I rarely wear such colorful outfits but some special occasions just call for it. I started out with a tutu dress form Lauren Conrads collection (yes, more velvet.) and added some of Chloes fabulous accessories. This vintage-inspired Dior necklace is the perfect statement piece for almost every neckline. It was made in the early 2000s but was inspired a collection from the 1970s. To add even more texture, I went with a tweed Chanel bag from the mid-90s. (Dont you love how the flecks of color in the tweed match the dress and blazer?) I love the little bijoux chain. (Good job, Mr. Lagerfeld.)

Kim K made this Gucci dress famous back in 2012. (After wearing this dress, I have a newfound appreciation for Mrs. Kardashian-Wests gravity-defying breasts.) I love how the timeless wrap shape looks with this open necklace by Cecile Jeanne. 

Last but certainly not least, I fell in love with this beautiful Balmain skirt. The skirt is special enough on its own but to really put it over the top, I added some pretty spectacular accessories. This vintage Saint Laurent sun cuff won my heart. Its a rare haute couture piece designed in the 1980s by Robert Goossens. Fun fact: it was included in the Metropolitan Arts and Design Museum Exhibition on Fashion Jewelry. It coordinated seamlessly with a Christian Lacroix necklace and either of these velvet YSL or Chanel bags.

Chloes got such a unique and stunning collection. It had me swooning. Hard. She travels to Paris to find pieces and also offers customized city packages that let travelers shop around just like the locals. (WHAT? Sign me up!) What do you think about Chloes collection?
