Get Bethenny Frankel’s Façonnable Cotton and Viscose Cap Sleeve Top, Elie Tahari Katie Skirt, L.K. Bennett Poppy Belt and Gio Diev Nikko Pumps, Worn On the Cover of Michigan Avenue Summer 2012 Plus Her Fashion Spread

Faith — Wed, 30 May 2012 21:20:28 +0000

I’ve been watching Bethenny Ever After religiously for the past week, so I am thrilled to see Mrs. Frankel on the cover of Michigan Avenue’s Summer 2012 issue. She looks like the perfect lady who lunches in a Façonnable Cotton and Viscose Cap Sleeve Top, Elie Tahari Katie Skirt, L.K. Bennett Poppy Belt and Gio Diev Nikko Pumps.

A great look for the office and a stylish mix of brands.

Her top is pretty basic: I have never shopped from Façonnable, but it is definitely a go-to for luxurious staples. Any working woman has a great relationship with Elie Tahari and Bethenny’s skirt features an eye-catching paisley print in a length that is wearable for a number of occasions. Her belt is a splurge, but you will have it in your wardrobe forever with good upkeep! Last, but not least are her shoes which are total conversation pieces: Gio Diev makes some of the hottest footwear in the industry and I would love to see more celebrities rocking the brand.

Faith — Wed, 30 May 2012 20:43:50 +0000

Kate Beckinsale is one of my favorite actresses and I am always excited to see her out and about as she is absolutely gorgeous! She was spotted in Malibu in an all-white look with bright accessories: a Dot Dash Tiered Necklace by Tom Binns and Pierre Hardy’s Canvas Multi Colored Wedges.

If I wasn’t so clumsy, I would attempt a look like this! It is so simple and chic and the vibrant accessories give it some life. Her tiered necklace features multi-colored epoxy covered crystals and is quite a splurge, but Tom Binns jewelry is unlike anything else in the industry. Kate’s wedges are a study in colorblocking, measuring at 6″ tall: not for the faint of heart though undoubtedly comfortable.

Tom Binns’s Dot Dash Tiered Necklace retails for $1285 and Pierre Hardy’s Canvas Multi Colored Wedges for $695. Visit www.forwardforward.com to purchase.
