Midnights Mayhem with Me | October 3, 2022

Guest In Residence ‘Layer Up! Vest in Steel’ – $245.00

More very cozy cashmere courtesy of her friend Gigi Hadid made its way into the latest Midnights Mayhem episode.

I’m obsessed with the interplay of not only warm and cool tones here via her steely blue-grey top and warm brown skirt but also in the harsh contrast of materials.

One of my personal favourite style tricks is to create tension via fashun by mixing very opposing materials – like Taylor does here with soft and cozy cashmere with edgy, slick leather.

Get the look: French Connection, $88.00

BP. ‘Wide Leg Stretch Cotton Corduroy Pants’ – $55.00 (sold out)

As Taylor knows, details are everything. I love the way the warm tones of the chevron in her top play nicely with these mustard cords she opted to wear. That distinctive pocket detail attaching to belt loops make this one a little more unique.

Worn with: Mother top

Venroy ‘Oversized Woven Stripe Shirt’ – $170.00

The great thing about separates is their ability to be so versatile and styled in multiple ways. I’m delighted to see this striped button up back that we first saw Taylor wear in intimate photos with good friend Blake Lively over the summer.

Smythe ‘90s Blazer’ – $695.00

I’ve recently made it a personal goal for myself to develop an enviable blazer collection and let me tell you, the warm brown fall girl colour and perfectly just oversized silhouette of this one by Smythe is doing something to me.

I also love the way the colour of this blazer (and the corresponding crushed velvet curtains behind her) ties in with the palette and aesthetic served to us thus far.

Aquazzura ‘So Vera Crystal Embellished Sandals’ – $1,350.00 $539.99

If you know anything about me it’s that I am a sucker for an ankle strap sandal so I happily approve of this crystal embellished option to finish out the altogether sleek, sexy, and chic styling for this outing.

I have no notes.

Worn with: Rahaminov earrings, Michael Kors dress, and Anne Sisteron ring

Michael Kors ‘Embellished One Sleeve Cutout Gown’ – $7,990.00

Taylor has worn many sequinned gowns over the years. She has, in fact, even worn many black sequinned garments. In my predictions post for this event, most of my guesses centered on a more ‘business bitch’ bent on what is very much a signature Taylor lewk. Not only to reflect the gravity of the honour she was being bestowed with (Songwriter of the Decade) but also to grasp a sense of familiarity of her recognizable style (sparkles!) just with a more serious edge. 

I love how the midi length here conveys a sense of maturity and composure, without going over-the-top dress-code wise (this isn’t the Oscars) like a full-length gown would. The slit and the cut out keeps things svelte and a little sexy, but the professional length and additional coverage from the asymmetrical long sleeve provide a nice balance that reign the lewk in from going overboard. 

I also appreciate the overall styling here with the low, sleek pony. While a kicky high, voluminous pony would have bumped up the ‘fun’ factor, I think keeping it low and simple and clean complements the overall sharpness and modern tones of the dress. Kohl-rimmed eyes and her signature red lip make this instantly Taylor, but also a little vampy and sexy. 

All in all an excellent outing in my opinion. What did you think?

Midnights photoshoot | October 21, 2022

See by Chloé ‘Ruffled Stripe Gauze Top’ – $450.00 (sold out)

If you know me you know that I have not only been waiting a long time for a TS70s aesthetic to come to life, but that I love seeing Taylor in Chloé.

All that to say that the Midnights photoshoot is one of the best things to ever happen. The rich textures, the distinctly retro silhouettes, the Stevie Nicksification of her hair contrasted with her glam eye makeup, the commitment on behalf of whoever decorated this set to really create that dingy 70s motel mood. Combined it’s all just really incredible and I’m so grateful.

Get the look: Alexis, $74.99
