25 Bedford: Workwear Refined & Redefined

It is my absolute pleasure to introduce you to the latest and greatest destination for chic work-wear staples, 25 Bedford. Recently founded by a brilliant dear-friend, the brand offers undeniably stylish pieces in modern silhouettes and high-quality fabrications. 

What I appreciate about their made-to-order designs is that you can easy wear them from a board meeting to a dinner date with just the swap of a few accessories. My personal favorite pieces are the Ruffle Blouse (you may remember it from my Instagram post here!) and the Peplum Dress.. both absolutely swoon-worthy. Shopping for the office has never been this fun or fabulous.

Head Over Heels

It's official, I have adored the chic sophistication of the Manolo Blahnik Chaos Sandal for quite some time now. But, once I laid my eyes upon their latest Chaos "Chain" Sandal in grey suede at Barneys NY, I was immediately head over heels. I need these gorgeous ladies on my feet ASAP.

Exquisite Elie Saab SP14 Couture

I love getting to end the week with something over-the-top pretty. There was nothing more exquisite this week than the presentation of Elie Saab's Spring 2014 Couture Collection. These images perfectly capture the incredible feminine details used in the show-stopping gowns.  

Have a lovely weekend!

Beyond Beautiful Backyard Bash

This year I have vowed to cover more weddings on the blog again, and today I am beyond delighted to share with you my sister's gorgeous wedding! Held this past April at our parent's home, the day was simply stunning. (You may remember when I shared a few of my Instagram photos here!) From the incredible spring blooms, to the beautiful table settings, every detail was perfectly thought out. That night the tent was truly filled with so much love for this wonderful couple and nothing made me happier than to see my stunning sister so happy.

Tommy Ton's Paris Street Style Snaps

I have always been a fan of fashion photographer, Tommy Ton's Street Style Shots. I am particularly loving these chosen from his latest photographs in Paris. I adore the infusion of the classic tones, camel and navy, with touches of fur. It has inspired me to throw on this classic navy moto coat and pair it with a pretty fur collar.

Christian Dior Spring 2014 Couture

It's one of my favorite times of the year again.... Couture Week in Paris. This weekend I was delighted to see Raf Simons' incredible work manifest itself in the Christian Dior Spring 2014 Couture show. I absolutely adore the lightness of the collection infused with intricate cutting techniques. See the entire Collection here.

Magical Montauk Wedding

Today, I am delighted to be able to share with you all a dear friend of mine's stunning wedding, which I attended last Summer. Held in the Hamptons, the day was beyond magical from the incredible setting, to the most darling flower girls and of course the couple's deep love for one another. The bride was absolutely exquisite in her custom Katie Ermilio gown, complete with bows running all the way down the back. All in all, the day was simply perfect.

Tote{ally} Perfect

I have been coveting a simple Mansur Gavriel leather tote for quite some time now. They are so chic and sleek ... perfect for everyday use. The company is still relatively new, established only in 2012, but I have a feeling they will be around for quite some time. These are truly the new classic wardrobe staples.

Can't Get Enough of Cate

There were so many beautifully dressed women at the Golden Globes last night, but my absolute favorite was Cate Blanchett in Armani. I think I literally gasped out loud when I saw her gown, especially the stunning back. Who do you think was best dressed last night?

dCc Outfit Obsession: Perfectly Pleated

I am frequently drawn to Giovanna Battaglia's ensembles and this one I simply could not take my eyes off of. While it may be the dead of Winter, I have been craving a micro-pleated knit dress like this one to wear all the way through Summer. This one from Milly is pretty fabulous (& such a steal!) and I would adore it even more in a soft neutral.

Hello, 2014

Well, hello there 2014! Where has the time gone? I am finally back from my two weeks away enjoying family at home and on vacation. I love returning from a break feeling relaxed and rejuvenated for the new year. 2013 was quite wonderful but I have a feeling that 2014 is going to be even better. 

Speaking of making things even better, what would you like to see more of from Daily Cup of Couture in 2014? 

Happy New Year!
