Reach New Heights with Brian Atwood

At only 5"1, I have long understood the magic behind a good pair of heels. And really who couldn't benefit from a few extra inches?

This ex-model began his fashion design career working with Versace, but now Brian Atwood has created his own brand of effortlessly chic shoes. All 5 inches of these Miri leather ankle boots by Brian Atwood are worth the investment. The luxe-hipster boots are highly verstile in taupe, and retail for $785 at Net-A-Porter.

Mad for Plaid

A perfect hybrid between comfy and fashion, some shirts aren't worth taking off. Though I am generally opposed to consecutive days wear, I once lasted a week in my green and blue version of this top.

If you haven't already, you will surely go mad for plaid with this Plaid School Boy Shirt by Elizabeth and James. With a just right loose fit and slightly ruched sleeves, you'll want it in every colour it comes in. The top has a three-button gusset at the back for adjustment options, and retails for $245 at ShopBop.

Love Him Lim

Every girl has one man she can't get enough of. And that man for me is Phillip Lim. With tailored cuts and daring accents, Lim tops my "must-have" list each season. There I said it, I love him.

When it comes to ruffles from Phillip Lim, more are always better. Made of layered silk ruffles, the Tiered Flounce Skirt has all the charm and versatilty that 3.1 Phillip Lim has to offer. Retailing for $550, pick up your size at Nordstrom's stores before it sells out completely.
