Styled to the Skin

"Python's hot this season", to quote The Devil Wears Prada, whether we like it or not! Along with fur of just about any kind (Sorry PETA!).
Python is just about everywhere and on virtually everything.
Prada's python and suede, color blocking boots are splattered across different magazines such as Vogue and Harper's Bazaar and throughout the advertisements. Keeping close to the snake-skin style, Prada flaunts bags as well.
Following suit Gucci gives a spectacular show from bags to heels to belts.
Chloé, always close behind, gives a stunning example of a classic knee high boot, with twist of tricolor-ed python. Fashion is all about being bold, if you think you've got that under your python belt, take a look at Chloé's 100% silk, golden-tan snakeskin printed shirt dress! Talk about stopping traffic, and that's without any accessories.
If snakeskin is too close to the edge for you maybe you need a little luxury in your wardrobe, if so, you're in luck: Fur is back; and designers are not holding back! The furs that are being used are ranging anywhere from fox fur to chinchilla to sable to Mongolian lamb (especially popular with Fendi), and, as seen in Fendi's Fall 2011 show, sometimes a combination of all four!
If edgy isn't your thing and luxury, no matter how much it hurts to admit, just isn't in your price range; think classy! Tortoiseshell is coming back! I first noticed it in the August issue of Vogue. A pair of tortoiseshell glasses (D&G), are the perfect compliment to a sophisticated and elegant look!
Fingers crossed that Mother Nature keeps the warm weather through September!
Love, Lace & Lemons
