Style of the Day with Tiffany

Hello everyone!  It is already Wednesday and that means another Style of the Day.
Today's style is all about the jabot.  We've been getting questions on how to wear the extra long ruffled jabot, and I decided to make it easier by showing how I would like to wear it.

Starting with the jabot as the centerpiece, it is made from a high-end novelty polyester knit that would add an unexpected punch to any outfit.
I chose the awesome short-sleeved jacket to go underneath.  Its lambskin leather panel is ultra smooth and has a beautiful sheen that accentuates the tiered jabot.  The black panels are made of a very fine wool twill that is extremely soft.  The oversized red piping on the shoulder is a blend of Italian wool and mohair that adds that extra pop of color I love.

The pencil skirt is also an amazing piece.  There are smooth lambskin panels on the skirt that contrasts with the other panels made from stretch polyester that are embossed to resemble reptile skin texture.  
Altogether, the jacket and skirt textures pair wonderfully with the jabot.  

The gorgeous neck ruff choker is made of a silk/cotton twill and the red on the trim compliments the red on the jacket shoulders.  The wrist cuff corsage puts the finishing touch on this cool look.  Made with cotton mesh, chains, wire-wrapped balls, and a lovely black seashell, the cuff is an edgy accessory that will have everyone asking where you got it from.

Wednesday's Style of the Day

I love Wednesdays because they mean we are halfway through the week already!  Here is my Wednesday Style of the Day.
Today's style of the day is an edgy mixture with a bit of quirkiness.  The vest is beautifully constructed with a snap closure in the back and leather trim around the bottom.  The criss-cross panels give the whole outfit a modern cool factor.
The white and black twill bloomers contrast with the vest, creating a sense of playfulness to the look.  The novelty silk ruffle necklace is an unexpected touch that adds a touch of whimsy.
The ruffle corsage complements the ruffle in the necklace and is a great accessory to any outfit!

Happy Monday!

Hello everyone! I hope you had a great weekend!  Now it is time for Tiffany's Style of the Day.

I wanted to start this week off fresh, with an outfit that fits into the lovely Spring weather we've been having.  This look is great for a day of shopping or just running errands.  
The top is black and white that subtly blends into grey.  The lace panel that runs down the center front and the peplum on the bottom adds a lovely, lady-like touch to a classic shape that can be worn with anything.
The skirt is a cotton plaid seersucker that gives the whole look a punch of color.  The skirt is gathered and pairs well with the texture in the shirt.  The waist band is covered with a black wool crepe obi belt.
The neck ruff adds a pop of blue and gives this "everyday look" a unique touch.  It is a novelty silk taffeta with an adjustable chain in the back.
Finally, the adorable tote bag is very versatile.  It is made of a glossed denim so it has a wonderful shine. The bottom part is a textured leather and the loop design at the top is made from cotton twill tape.  This bag will fit everything you need and more!

Tiffany's Style of the Day

Hi everyone!  So it's Friday, and that means the second Style of the Day!

The reason I put this look together is because the jacket just caught my eye.  It is beautifully constructed, and the leather details add an edge to the overall look.  It is made of a textured wool that is black and white creating a heather grey appearance.  Please do not hesitate to contact for the pricing of this awesome jacket!

I wanted the look to have a slimmer silhouette so the white pencil skirt helped to reinforce that idea.  It buttons down the center front and is a great addition to any wardrobe.  It is a great twist on a classic silhouette.

Finally, the bracelet on the wrist and white scarflette adds a touch of volume to an otherwise streamlined look.  The white in the scarflette also pulled the color of the skirt together.  It is a great texture that mixes nicely with the jacket.

Tiffany's Style of the Day


Hello Everyone!  My name is Tiffany and this is my first style of the day.  I hope you enjoy them for the next couple of weeks!

The reason I picked this outfit out was mainly for the color in the skirt.  It is a beautiful green colored velveteen with a printed lace to give it a dark feminine touch.  
Then I started thinking about what top to pair with the skirt and kept it simple, not to take away from the bottoms and picked a textured black wool capelet.  The silver snaps and chain gave it a slight military feel which I liked how it contrasted with the more feminine skirt. 
The belt is actually a ruff choker necklace that can be worn as either. 
The scarflette's grey color helped pull the grey from the belt together.
Finally, the beautiful rose gave this look a touch of fantasy and romance.
