The $400 Budget

"The trends that resonated with me had a bit of the masculine about them: oversize proportions, meanswear tailoring."

My Fall Inspirations
1. "The Marc Jacobs show was one of the more dramatic moments of Fall Fashion Week. It was lit by a giant orb suspended over the runway, like the sun"
2. "One of my favorite collections was Valentino. The outfit looks regal, but because it?s short it's young and fun."
3. "Eddie Borgo was inspired by Cleopatra. This necklace has that historical reference but looks vaguely futuristic."
