A CHIC COSTUME


A Chic Minimalist was spotted with a 1920s flapper at a Halloween costume party last night! 
This year my costume is Cher from Clueless. You ask why Cher? Well so I could say "Its an Alaia", of course.  We all know that I am obsessed with Mr. Azzedine Alaia the "King of Cling!" and this lovely dress is from a dear friends of mine private ALAIA collection...  I will introduce you to my dear friend soon!

Wishing you a fun and joyous Happy Halloween, please share what is your costume this year?

PEEK-A-BOO


A CHIC MINIMALIST IS WEARING:
Lilac Alaia dress is paired with leather and suede Prada pumps

Peek-a-boo I see you, but you cannot see me well at least till Tuesday.  Thought you might enjoy a little tease or preview of a chic ensemble for my upcoming birthday celebration this Monday.  I am heralding the return of lilac. Mint is lovely as the shade of 2012, but with its presence felt in almost every aspect of fashion of the minute, I am craving something new!

Stay tuned on Tuesday when all the ensemble is revealed, including a sneak peek at the celebration.  A favourite restaurant of mine is always so kind in hosting the event for me thanks darlings...

Hope you will have a lovely Saturday, off to take a peek at Chanel's fall makeup collection.

IT'S AN ALAIA, CASUAL AND CHIC

Hello darlings hope you are all having a wonderful week just a few points of interest.  First take a peek at Karl Lagerfeld's interview for Chanel Spring-Summer 2013, a casual yet chic collection.  It is quite minimal but it has all the subtle trademarks such as pearls and the jacket skirt suit, which are the hallmarks of this brand.



Lastly enjoy this little anecdote between my dear friend Martha and I.

Martha to Kate,
"What a fabulous dress.."

"Kate to Martha
 "It's an Alaia"

Martha to Kate
 "Well of course it is!"

Kate to Martha
"Always casual and chic indeed"

A Chic Minimalist is Wearing
