Designer Spotlight: Trifari
Trifari, created by Gustavo Trifari in 1918, has become a very popular name in the jewelry business. Known for it's exquisite designs and perfect stones, one of the special things about Trifari is that since 1937 they marked every single piece they made. They are the only major jeweler who did so as far as we know.

What We Love: About November
November is upon us and we can't believe it. The weather is starting to get a bit cooler here in Palm Beach and it's finally starting to feel like Fall.
1. Sarah Jessica Parker on the November cover of Elle wearing House of Lavande Original Collection: where to start.. first of all, SJP looks gorgeous and we love the necklace on her. The entire Original Collection will be available late November and is on pre-order right now, including the Everglades necklace she is wearing. Call us to make sure you get yours when it comes out 561.802.3737
2. Cooler weather, Thanksgiving, Pumpkin Pie: Everything about Fall we are loving, especially since the humidity is starting to move out and the cool air is starting to move in! (You know when we are wearing light sweaters that its a big change in Palm Beach)
3. Starbucks Seasonal Drinks.. especially the Pumpkin Spice Latte: Many people believe that it isn't truly Fall until Starbucks starts serving their Pumpkin Lattes and it's the truth! We've seen an increase in Starbucks cups laying around our office lately.
4. Dark and warm colors especially with makeup: We love this Tom Ford burgundy lip color and are very excited to start wearing these colors on an daily basis especially since they are becoming a huge trend, not only with makeup but with clothes, shoes and accessories as well!

Iconic Woman of Style: The Duchess of Cambridge
With her famous locks of hair and impeccable Royal style, it's no wonder many young women look to Kate Middleton as a style icon.
It would be hard to choose just a handful of outfits that we love from the Duchess of Cambridge but we think we've done a good job picking some of out favorite styles we've seen. (And of course we had to put in a photo of Prince William as well!) We had to throw in that very Royal McQueen wedding dress as well as her many looks from designers Temperley, Issa, Jenny Packham and the high street stores like Zara and Reiss and all the outfits in between.
As far as jewelry, the Duchess keeps it simple. Simple bracelets, brooches and earrings. Occasionally she will bring out chandelier earrings (simple in design) for a night on the red carpet.

Collars are huge in the fashion scene this season and we love them! This gold spike collar is right on trend. Add some hardware to your outfit with this collar or something similar.
2. 1950's Diamante Earrings
If you want something ultra classy and sparkly, look no farther. These diamante earrings are not only perfectly vintage but they will add sparkle to any outfit. If you aren't into big earrings, these button studs are perfect for transitioning your Fashion Week outfit from runway to after-party.

IFBCON: Bloggers in Style
Earlier this week House of Lavande spent a couple of days learning from, meeting and snapping pictures of the lovely ladies of the blogging world. A fantastic time was had by all at this year's International Fashion Bloggers Conference. Keynote interviews of Derek Blasberg and Iman provided a unique look into the world of two of the industries most talented minds. If you weren't able to attend this year, you can watch a live stream of all of the panels here. They are full of informative information. In our opinion, a must watch!
Of course being in New York City with the start of fashion week and hundreds of fashion bloggers in one place, meant there was amazing style no matter which way you looked. Here are just a few of our favorite looks from the conference.

Fashion Week Must Haves
Fashion Week is a week filled with excitement but also can be very busy and hectic which makes it easy to miss those "essential" items while deciding what to take with you from show to show. We've put together a short but important list of the items you will definitely need to make it through the day.
1. A Big Handbag - Fashion Week is the one week you will need to get bring out your "luggage". If you already love carrying around a large handbag than you'll love this week, but if you aren't we suggest investing in one that has a handle as well as a shoulder strap.
2. A Camera - this is essential. Whether you have a large one or small one, bring it. We suggest bringing a small camera with a powerful lense like this Olympus Pen E-PI1.
3. Wet Ones - you never know if you or someone else will spill those delicious drinks all over your brand new dress.
4. Umbrella - another essential, weather can be unpredictable and you don't want to get caught in the rain without one rushing to the next show.
5. Lip Balm - Kiehl's makes an awesome lip balm in a great travel size that is easy to throw in your purse or pocket. Keep those lips lookin' good ladies!
6. Big Black Sunglasses - keeps the sun out of your eyes. Also helps you from having to make eye-contact with anyone you might not want to.
7. iPad - the new notepad. Take notes, keep your Twitter followers up-to-date.
8. iPhone + Mophie Juice Pack Plus Case - you won't be running out of battery anytime soon with this on your phone. (plus it comes in different colors)
9. Coffee - whether it be Starbucks or your local coffee shop, you might want to get one in the morning if it's going to be a long day. The last thing you want is to be caught yawning at a show or in a photo.
10. Ballerina Flats - after walking around in your sky-high heels, you'll be glad you brought these in your bag.
11. Planner/Diary - keep your week and events organized with sleek and chic one like from Smythson.

What We Love About September
Fall may not officially start until later this month, but with Labor Day upon us, we are all ready to break out our fall closets and enjoy those Pumpkin Spice Lattes and cooler weather again. Here's everything we love about September this year at House of Lavande.
Fashion Week We love everything about Fashion Week. The atmosphere it brings to each city it is held in, the clothes, the models, the street style. September couldn't be more of a favorite month because of this simple week.
Gwyneth Paltrow + Stand Up to Cancer Gwyneth will produce the third biennial SU2C telecast with other Hollywood celebs manning the phones. Not only is this telecast for a good reason (this multi-network fundraising extravaganza raked in more than $80 million for cancer research and treatment in 2010) but you also might get to speak to a celeb.. phone away on September 7th!
The return of TV Season's return in September on TV and that's a big deal. Many shows leave you hanging at the end of their season finale and we are looking forward to catching up with our favorite casts like Modern Family, Revenge and so many more!
Fashion's Night Out This year we will be at Henri Bendel's for FNO. (check back tomorrow for more details) But what we love most about Fashion's Night Out is the style. You can find so much inspiration from the the different street styles and designer styles that happen all in this one night. Don't miss out - check to find where you can get all of this on September 6th at http://fashionsnightout.com/
National Milkshake Day Who wouldn't love a national milkshake day? We just recently found out about this "holiday" on September 12th and can't wait to be able to drink more than one milkshake in a day without feeling guilty!

Jewelry Trend: Stacked Bangles
It's fair to say at this point that everyone is obsessed with stacking bracelets. Big, small, colorful and jeweled, the one thing that remains a constant is the more the merrier. A go to favorite of ours is the victorian gold filled bangle with the added glitz of the 1920's deco channel set bracelet. Add in a little flare with an animal cuff or vintage YSL and you've got a combo that won't miss. It's definitely time to welcome vintage to this party.
