Look of the Day (X2)

Both Rosie and Emma looked so amazing that it was impossible for me to choose just one look of the day.

Cool Combo: Orange & Black

Because I have no intention of resembling a jack-o-lantern, I’ve always tended to avoid wearing orange and black together. Something about this combination scared me away. However, after stumbling across these street-style photos and realizing how chic this pairing can be, I decided to reconsider.

Upon further investigation, I saw that many of my favorite designers incorporated the orange and black combo in their Fall 2011 collections.

1. Preen 2. Burberry 3. Proenza Schouler 4. Peter Som

For those of you who, like me, don’t consider orange to be the most flattering of colors, I suggest trying the look with orange pants, skirts, or accessories. I have included lots of great options in the collage below. Enjoy!

Here is a behind the scenes look at the Burberry S/S 2010 campaign featured in the post below.

The Watsons Do Burberry

Shots from the new Burberry S/S campaign have surfaced featuring the highest grossing actress of the decade and Christopher Bailey’s favorite young starlet, Emma Watson. Shot by famed fashion photographer Mario Testino, the campaign also includes Emma’s brother Alex Watson as well as models George Craig, Matt Gilmour, and Max Hurd.
