Trend Watch Wednesday: Style Watch A - Z


Do ya'll ever read Elle Magazine? I don't get to read it as much as I'd like anymore, but you probably are familiar with Joe Zee, the Creative Director for Elle Magazine. He's worked with every major designer under the sun and is one of my personal fashion heroes. I've been admiring his styling handiwork for YEARS. But, you might know him better from a little show on MTV called "The City".



Now simply put, Joe has the coolest job known to man. He is literally paid to go shopping and pick out amazing clothes and accessories for the pages of Elle. I was talking to a friend of mine (coincidentally also named Lesley, but with an "ey") at Junior League last night and we decided that this sort of job might not work out so well for us. Because we have a little problem known to some as "shopaholism."

We'd never be able to pick out only a few pieces for a feature...I mean, how could one girl choose only one Alexander Wang dress or one pair of Stella McCartney trousers??

Anywho...Joe has come up with a list of everything you need for this season, starting with the letter A and going all the way to letter Z. Think of it as a grown-up, uber-stylish version of the Alphabet Song. Here are some of the highlights and my favorite pieces Joe chose:

Aviators...

...and Houndstooth...


...and Cocktail Dresses, oh my!
