Turn On, Tune In & Drop Out

The Beatles, Woodstock, and all things 1960's and mod are shagging their way back to style. Designer company 3.1 Phillip Lim created the nostalgic resurgence that America needed to re-inject in it's culture. While runway looks are typically impossible to wear in everyday and even festive circumstances, key pieces from 3.1 Phillip Lim can be worn daily. Assymetrical jackets, fur vests and hippie fabrics add a swanky 60's vibe to your necessary Fall wardrobe. Here's are some of the RTW Fall 2009 collection inspired by bohemians, British rockers and rebellious teens by 3.1 Phillip Lim:

Tie Those Laces

Remember learning how to tie your shoelaces and the excitement of finally looping those "bunny ears" into a perfect bow! The memory can stay constant with these two necessary Autumn shoes : Harajuku Lovers 'Packard' Oxford & Aldo Shoes 'Maune'. Each are a beautiful transition to the dark colors of Fall and apply to a majority of key items like leggings and pencil skirts. A lovely bonus of affordability is added to their appeal...

Harajuku Lovers 'Packard' Oxford $99

Aldo Shoes 'Maune' $99

Aldo Shoes 'Tumlin' $100

Take an arthimetic approach and follow the fashion in geometric shapes. Just pull out a protractor and measure these lines and angles to grid your wardrobe:

Cubana Armada

Cuban heels are marching loudly into Spring '09! A medium to high broad heel that curves to the back, it has a similar appearance to the block heel. However, the cuban heel is showing it's strength to those high-towering heels who are dominating today's trends. Easy to walk in and simple to style, finding a feisty cuban heel will lead you to an endless command to your clothing choices.
