Fall 2012: Pastels!

Fashion Week! Grammys! Miley Cyrus's New Bob! Oh My!

This week was a fashion whirlwind; from emerging trends oozing off the runway, to watching our favorite Celebs walk the red carpet at the Grammys. Even amoungst all the excitment, one trend stood out to be quite prominent for Fall 2012.

Trends We Love:

PASTELS! Lately we have been bombarded by spring merchandise! Oranges and Colbalt Blues to Grey and Silver Hues, but nothing - and I mean nothing- compares to opening a giant box and finding an array of Lavendar, Sand, and Ballerina Pink hues! As Telluride is wrapped in a surreal and fluffy blanket of snow, step inside Scarpe and voila! you have enetered a serene oasis, showered in magical raindrops of pastels!


       

Get ahead of the trend and shop pastels now, at ShopScarpe.com!

Hoss creates tops that provide jam-packed style with ease. This poncho embodies that, with a touch of grace. This poncho is so soft and versatile. You can tie the belt in the front for a looser look or wrap it around your body and tie for a waist cinching tunic vibe.

Breaking News: 

Scarpe has been flooded with new items over the past few days! Everything from white skinnies and berry colored denim from Mother Denim, to maxi dresses and ponchos from our new line Hoss, all the way around to Humanoid tanks and knit tees and back to one of a kind handbags from MS. by Martine Sitbon!! Not to mention the bold Enza Costa sweaters, and Hanky Panky thongs and boy shorts!


We love MS by Martine Sitbon's new line of practical yet stylish line of bags. She was the cats meow of the Parisian fashion and we are glad she is back! 

The leather on this MS. by Martine Sitbon tote, is so soft it almost feels like silk! It's a shocking yet heavenly reaction when you first touch this bag, the perfect contrast to the "hard" brick-like print. When you purchase one of these Parisian bags, be prepared for jealous glances and strangers ooh-ing and ahh-ing over your handbag, for years to come!

MS. Brush Stroke Leather Tote

Available in Taupe and Black, this Ms. by Martine Sitbon envelope clutch is the easiest statement bag, ever! Large enough to place your phone, wallet, sunglasses, and keys, yet small enough to carry comfortably. The leather is as smooth as butter and the lines are perfectly minimal.$250

MS. By Martine Sitbon Envelope Clutch

This MS. by Martine Sitbon tote with side tassel pockets, easily makes accessibility beautiful. The side pockets are large enough to put a phone in one and wallet in another for safe and easy access; no one will know the tassels unzip but you! This tote comes with a leather matching strap for transformation into a hip long-shoulder bag!$550

MS by Martine Sitbon Tote 

Light Grey Handbag w/ removable small bag

Two bags in one? It's almost mind blowing, we know! Not only is this Ms. by Martine Sitbon handbag versatile, with the handles and removable shoulder strap, but it actually comes with a removable crossbody purse (chain strap comes inside the pouch)! So, this bag can be worn to work, unzip the pouch and put on the chain to wear the crossbody bag out at night. Now this, Ladies, is perfection!!

Now Unveiling: Fall 2012

A few weeks ago, while shopping the LA showrooms, we were blinded by the fluorescent colors that seemed to pop up everywhere! The showrooms were paved in neon! Electric Blue denim, Hot Pink crop tops, and Lime aide summer sweaters mocked us as we gravitated towards the pastels and stripes.

NYC Fashion Week kicks off today, leaving the entire fashion industry at the edge of their seats. Per usual , during Fashion Week, designers introduce new- and perhaps frightening- trends to the public. The industry stands at attention, drops everything, and worships this single week. Yes, it is quite exciting, however I believe the praise should be put on the public, the "commoners" if you will, for making the final decisions as to what the season's It Trend will be.

For example, last fashion week as the forecasters and editors embedded the A/W '11 trends into stone (or glossy magazine pages- call it what you may) and sealed their vows with a kiss, not one prediction put the emphasis on light,skinny pants anchored by mid-calf booties. With no end to this trend in sight, look around, and guaranteed you will be amongst at least a handful of females wearing this phenomenon.
The point being: today, the world will be exposed to what the designers want you to wear next fall, the industry will absorb and live one extreme to the next, and come next fall, after this week is said and done with, we will see if this Fashion Week made an impression on us at all or if it was just a bunch of bologna.

How They Wore It..

While browsing some favorite fashion sites, I stumbled upon fashion blogger (and fellow Indiana University enthusiast) Jessica Quirk's site "What I Wore." Not only is her nouveau-retro style absolutely precious but she wears our J Brand Pants in Aubergine like a supermodel!

CLOSET ESSENTIALS: The 6 Pieces Every Woman Should Own

1)A dark, lean suit. Bonus points for a jacket and trouser that can be worn seperately!

2)That one show-stopping pencil skirt. Simple and Refined.

Humanoid's Sanura Shelter Skirt

3)C.W.S! The classic Crisp White Shirt.

With a million choices out there, it is best to get one "classic, slim-fit" button down. and one funky button down. Be it oversized, boyfriend, cropped, or asymetrical (like this Organic by John Patrick) the C.W.S is an absolute essential!

4)Jeans! Jeans! Jeans! When you find that perfect pair, it turns into a marriage: you and the jeans. They can be our best friend and our worst enemy, but the search to find that perfect pair- and occasional heartbreak- is well worth it! Trust us! A straight cut in a darker wash is prefered, however there is no way you can go wrong with any of our Mother Denim jeans and/or our AG Ballad Slim Boot jean (not to mention the handfull of colors the Ballad comes in)

AG Ballad

  

5) LBD...no explaination necessary.

Halston Heritage Side Drape Mini Dress

6) And finally one of the most important pieces that every woman must own is a boucle jacket.

A timeless essential that can be worn over a dress, out on the town, or with a pair of whitewashed slouchy jeans and a tank. This is one of the most important clothing investments -aside from the perfect jean of course- that you will make, and believe us when we say that this investment will last forever. Pardon our language but let's just call this one the one-and-done piece.

BACK TO BASICS: Make A Statement At This Year’s Holiday Party With One Simple Rule!

Dressing for holiday festivities can be…well…an experience. We have all stood in front of our closets, paralyzed by that overwhelming feeling: “I have nothing to wear!”  as we examine racks, upon piles, upon heaps of clothing. 

As the holiday season approaches, and the invitations roll in, there is no better time to go back to basics and remember the golden rule: less is more. At Scarpe, we swear by purchasing “pieces” instead of collecting mounds of items that have zero impact. Pieces, that are bold, unique, and quality can transform any outfit, elevating it from cookie-cutter style to fashion editor status.

We can all simplify our closets, and reduce pre-event stress by removing the “blah” closet clutter and filling it with “ahhh” statement pieces.

Acquiring a statement boot is essential, and one of the easiest ways to add luxury and inspiration to any wardrobe. A unique heel and clever fabric patterning, like this waxed suede Amy Bootie by Luxury Rebel, creates a timeless, statement piece for every occasion.
