Purple Pop

Hey fabulous readers!
LWIS has been quiet for the past few weeks as S & M recuperated from the marathon of trend-spotting and Fashion Week coverage, but now we're back with a brand new section called Style.This! It's simple: every week, we pick one item, be it an article of clothing, or an accessory, and build TWO whole outfits around it.

We're kicking off our first installment with this adorable Linda bow-embellished leather clutch by Marc by Marc Jacobs

   Layered for comfort as well as style, this look incorporates an interesting mixture of textures and a muted palette, so that the clutch creates that perfect pop of colour. Keep a few buttons undone on the shirt to allow the delicate lace to peep through, and this is a look that is as easily at home in the workplace as it is for a lunch date. Since this is a daytime look, the make-up should also be very subtle.

It's the shades of purple for the evening. Cannot stress how simple and ridiculously sensual this entire look goes with the Marc by Marc Jacobs clutch. Simplicity has always been key in the "3S Effect" (Sexy, Sophisticated, Suave) so there is enough glamor without the flash. The accessories are on display here, resting comfortably against the black. It's the right amount of contrast for the evening, just enough to standout so you don't dispensary yourself into the night...unless, you want to.

Here's hoping all of you enjoyed our new addition to LWIS. S&M will continue to make you swoon; all you have to do is come back wanting more.
