Romeo & Juliet by Wildfox: FW 2012
What Should I Wear? Party Party Party!
There is always so much stress and pressure when it comes to finding the right New Years Eve outfit! So let me make it easier with my suggestions!
1. Joie Skipper Sequin Dress ($415)
This is the essential piece to have s the party dress to have with its femine and fun sequins! The Skipper dress is perfect and sexy for any New Years Eve or Xmas Party.
2. Les Petites Masculine Coat in Brique ($545)
To top off the dress and overall outfit, I recommend adding some fun color with this great statement piece for the Fall Winter seasons from Les Petites. The rich wool fabric keeps you warm and gives the fun party dress a hit of glamour.
3. Rosegold Lane Heels (Sale, $132)
Sexy shoes are perfect for your night out, so I recommend the Rosegold Lane Heels. The on-trend style features an upper with sexy cut-outs and a peep-toe. With a concealed platform and a covered stiletto heel, you’ll have a noticeable lift without crossing the line.
4. House of Harlow Textured Ring ($38)
5. House of Harlow Horseshoe Bangle ($48)
Keep the jewelry minimal as you don’t want to take away from the fabulous dress. I suggest going with a Textured Ring and the Horseshoe Bangle. Simple, Easy and it won’t break budget!
6. Messy Tousled Hair
I recommend tousled flirty hair that is down which provides a sexy look to when you’re partying the night away!
What Should I Wear? Family
Since this is a family affair you want to be tasteful and respectful, especially if it is the boyfriends or husbands family dinner! You definitely don’t want to send the wrong message by walking in looking like the harlot! With that being said you don’t want to go unnoticed either, so an outfit that is classy, fashionable and on trend works best!
1. Charli Millie Dress in Dark Grey ($165)
The classic look and fit of the Millie dress is perfect and comfortable with its stretchy and soft fabric. The length is perfect for the occasion and hugs the body nicely without being inappropriate.
2. Muubaa Bronson Sheepskin Cowl Neck Coat ($795)
To add a shield against the cold weather I recommend the Bronson Coat which provides amazing warmth and demands attention as it is right on trend with this seasons look and radiates luxury with its impeccably smooth and soft leather and shearling lining.
3. House of Harlow Gold Coin Necklace ($198)
4. House of Harlow Horseshoe Bangle ($48)
To break up the dress and add some depth to the dress, I suggest going for the Gold Coin Necklace and the Horseshoe Cuff for a little luck and elegance.
5. House of Harlow Norah Snake Skin Pump ($258)
Since the dress is a solid colour, shoes are the perfect option to incorporate a nice print or pattern to your outfit. So take advantage and spice it up with the Norah Snake Skin Pumps.
6. Swept Low Bun
I have chosen a swept low bun as it provides an elegant look that is soft and romantic
What Should I Wear? Fun Alternative To A Dress
During the holiday season everyone feels they must be decked out for the parties however, for some holiday occasions you can still be “dressed up” without actually having to wear a dress! It’s all in pairing the right colors, fits and accessories.
1. Joie Lenora Top ($225)
The rich vibrant red of the Joie Lenora top is amazing on any skin color and perfect for the holiday season. The flowy fit is not only super comfortable and sexy but great for those big holiday dinners!
2. 7 For All Man kind Kaylie Bootcut ($225)
Dark indigo denim is always a go to option as it gives a more “dressier” feel. The fitted cut and the slight flare at the bottom of the Kaylie Bootcut flatters the lower body perfectly and is big for the seasons denim trends.
3. Muubaa Aviatress Jacket ($600)
I recommend adding the beautifully cool Aviatress Jacket ($600) to keep you warm when you’re outside in the cold weather. The chocolate brown leather jacket has multiple variations, which allows you to wear it a multitude of ways (as is, vest, fur collar attached or without). The Aviatress jacket is a guaranteed wardrobe piece that can carry you through all seasons.
4. Noe Suede Pump in Red
I recommend adding the classic Red suede pumps by Noe to keep in the red fever to compliment the top.
5. House of Harlow Carnelian Dome Ring ($69)
6. C.Pak & Co. Bracelets ($23)
To dress up the outfit, accessorize with the Carnelian Dome Ring and stack your wrist(s) with the affordably chic C.Pak & Co. Bracelets
7. Loose Wavey Hair
Keep it simple and classic. Loose Waves let down are the way to go!
What Should I Wear? Work Function
I would suggest something that is sophisticated and tasteful since you are still in a work/business environment. However, you should spice it up a little for the party to show your co-workers that you have a fun fashionable side!
1. Les Petites Twist Dress in Olive ($375)
The rich Olive colour of the Twist Dress is perfect for the season and the dress is perfect for a work function as it is not too revealing and the draping of the fabrics with the twist detail flatters the body flawlessly.
2. Plastic Island Sydney Biker Jacket in Beige ($225)
To add a bit of edge to your sophisticated and chic outfit, I recommend the Sydney biker Jacket. The cropped length and the neutral Beige tone works well to compliment the Olive green without covering any of the flattering twist details from the dress.
3. , 4. House of Harlow Metal Fringe Earrings in Gold ($135) / Sunburst Cocktail Ring in Khaki ($58)
Since the dress is one colour I would recommend including some statement pieces of jewelry to heighten the look. House of Harlow’s Gold Fringe Earrings and Sunburst Ring compliment the dress and are perfect color combinations.
5. Noe Pump in Beige ($125)
A beige pump is a nice addition to the overall outfit and your existing wardrobe as they are not too high and really comfortable for dancing and mingling. The earthy Beige tone doesn’t take away from the rest of the look and match the Sydney Biker jacket!
6. Pulled Back Hairstyle
To show off the earrings and the front detailing of the dress a pulled back hairstyle is the perfect choice!
What Should I Wear? Romantic Date
Whether it’s the first date or the millionth date, you should always want to dress to impress! Here’s what I recommend to make him fall head over heels again!
1. Mason Gathered Dress with Leather Sleeves ($395)
Make him go “oh la la” with this sexy and flattering Gathered Dress that hides the bumps and gives you that chic appeal with the leather sleeves.
2. Les Petites Hivernal Belted Coat ($510)
The Hivernal Coat is spot on with the latest trends in fashion. The rich Bordeaux color is big for the Fall Winter color scheme and the belted styling is prevalent in this season outerwear trends. The overall look is classic, elegant and guaranteed to keep you warm for that romantic walk out.
3. House of Harlow Feather Lock Ring ($88)
Since the dress stands out you don’t need too many accessories, so the fun Feather Locket Ring is the perfect accessory!
4. Rosegold Lane Heels (Sale, $132)
The black coordinates well with the leather in your dress and the cutout peep toe heel gives the overall outfit depth and edge. It’s a match!
5. Tousled and Flirty Hair
I suggest a hairstyle that is left down, tousled and wavy! The look is very flirty and sexy! Just what your date wants

Who What Wear Features Equipment’s Signature Blouse
Who What Wear Daily has featured one of the newest and hottest pieces hitting stores, Equipment’s Signature Blouse, for their “Working Girl: Gift Guide” segment. Check out what WWWD has to say about the Signature Blouse:
“A silk button-down is nine-to-five staple, and Equipment’s iterations are some of our absolute favorites. While we’d never stop you from picking one up in every color, we’d select this rich olive hue for the WG because it’s a great, cutting-edge neutral that lends itself to a myriad of looks. She can wear it to break up a tan, black, or navy suit, and then pair it with skinny jeans and heels when casual Friday finally rolls around.”
A little about the brand:
Dating back to 1975, Equipment is all about taking menswear and revamping it with feminine appeal; resulting in the brand being known for their refined tailoring and classic pieces for woman. All about perfecting “the shirt”, the label was re-launched in 2010 with an emphasis on sophisticated French minimalism and laid-back California boho style.
Androgynous silhouettes and subtle allure are what Equipment pieces are all about. Women who are strong, chic, adventurous, sexy, and above all, classic will appreciate the Equipment pieces we have in store.
