Paris Fashion Week AW 2012/13...Meric

Before Chanel, Paris, March 2012.

Inspiration for the rich, embellished, opulence of the season ahead. 

Echo her deeply romantic look with velvet-ey pieces:

 J Brand velvet skinny pants, Twelfth St.by Cynthia Vincent Ombre velvet blazer, Carven structured velvet dress, McQ Alexander McQueen velvet tuxedo jacket, Anna Sui owl velvet varsity jacket, River Island studded velvet loafers, Glamorous velvet skater skirt or Isabel Marant Becky velvet skirt

Deepa Gurnani double crystal headband, Maison Michel Ilona floral chain headband, River Island Diamante dragonfly headband, or ASOS Diamante Tiara stretch headband (we might not be princesses in real life, but it is still fun to dress like one sometimes!)

Thank you @pinar for letting us know Meric's name!

Paris Couture Fashion Week AW 2012/13...Yulia

Russian model Yulia Lobova, after Basil Soda Couture, Paris, July 2012.

Even though this was on a hot summer's day in Paris, Yulia's outfit (and make-up) is perfect inspiration for this coming A/W's opulent, decadent looks. And a luxe, embroidered jacket is an easy way to incorporate the look into your existing wardrobe - just pop it over a plain top and pants.
