Plums & Passions
created by LadyLux with Polyvore.
Now that the glitz and glamour of Fashion Weeks around the world has receded for a bit, and the holiday party circuit hasn’t started, we are ready for a fabulously laid-back outfit to sport during the fall chills.
When we saw the Hubba Jumper from Erhart Street Wear, we knew we were on to something. What a great way to stay warm and stylish! This is an easy style that can be dressed up or down, and is sure to look killer on most body types. Accented with a racer back, princess seams, and a bubble hem, and delivered in a pretty charcoal color, it is sure to delight as a perfect layering piece.
To make sure we keep our ensemble LUX and feminine, we paired the casual jumper with a pretty blouse. The Button Back Top from Poppy Sam is a darling cotton poplin number with four feminine pearl buttons in the back, and a flattering A-Line design.
Grey looks fantastic with periwinkle, so we wanted to throw in some pieces in that color scheme. To make sure our casual divas are warm, we paired a Nuno Felt Scarf Stormy Night from NESchwab. We often profile Nancy Schwab, as we find her scarves to be fun, warm, beautiful and feminine all at the same time. According to Nancy herself, “Ebony black, on handpainted black silk, is mixed with dark charcoal and deep periwinkle that makes it wearable with just about every other color you love.” The icing on this snuggle-worthy, elegant cake? The fibers are hand-mixed and organic, for a true LUX item! To match our scarf, we picked the Angela Bag from ZJN4U, which is roomy enough for work or play, while retaining a high-end look and feel.
We know that no outfit is complete without some “bling”, so we picked these classic, casual glam pieces: Hammered Classic Goldfilled Hoop Earrings from TAH, Mutli Strand Necklace with Ribbon from Marie Marie Jewelry and Vintage Jewelry Finding Adjustable Ring from Mattie Reid Chicago. The earrings feature 14-gage, gold filled and hammered wire oval hoops. We nabbed a beautiful melange of silver and gold chains for an updated spin on a multi-strand necklace with a ribbon closure. And finally, we topped our ensemble with a large vintage ring, which was repurposed from another jewelry piece, and set on top of fabric. A casual spin on a cocktail ring, we are pretty sure there’s not another one like this in the world.
About LadyLux:
Once upon a time, there was girl named LUX. She believed in humanity, doing good for the sake of good, and all things beautiful in our world. As she grew older and began to take stock of the world around her, her mission in life became clear: be a Change Agent. The tasks associated with being an “Agent” is to use her mind and voice to help fix what is broken in the world and empower the people in it to do the same. Thus was born The Lady LUX Network.
At LadyLUX, our motto is “Good for the Sake of Good.” We believe in doing good and being good, while looking good. We believe in fashion, life, love, philanthropy, eco-luxury and laughter. We empower women to follow their passions, live authentically, and to honestly know and love themselves. Choosing health and your best self, being good to others and good to the environment is simply living the LUX life. In each outfit we put together, we always include organic and “green” items that were created with the idea of sustainability.

We got so hooked on retro glam fashion after putting together last week’s set, we decided to repeat the retro theme this week. The minute we found the Meibury dress by Mahtab Azimi, we knew it was “the one” to build the ensemble around. A simple and sophisticated dress, it flows freely to the floor, while hugging a woman’s curves. What a flattering design for just about any body type! Maxi dresses are extremely hot this season, and allow any woman to feel like a princess. The slit detail on the sleeve is a perfect addition to this elegant and simple.
Because our our dress is dark, we decided to offset it with a cream colored purse. The Oversized Heather Envelope Clutch in Cream Capo by Brynn Chicago spoke to us with its supple leathers and an oversized design. Finally a clutch that can actually fit all of your belongings. Our favorite thing about this lovely handbag though, is the fact that it’s individually handcrafted in the Windy City!
Speaking of wind, we are well into the fall, and the weather will start to get colder and colder (well, for those of us who have seasons anyway). This means one thing: we all need a fabulous scarf to add to our closets. The Enchanted Cashmere Nuno Felt Scarf by NESchwab is as warm as it is elegant. Made with cashmere, fine merino wool, silk and bamboo fibers, it’s extremely sheer, thin and elegant. The designer herself calls it a “sheer symphony of fiber, color and texture”, and we tend to agree. The icing on this fabulous cake? It’s handcolored and handpainted!
We were so compelled by Cimber Designs in Jewelry’s glamorous pieces, that we chose two items to include in our set. The Black & Gold Snowflake ring is perfect to dress up our dress. Containing a mixture of semi precious stones, it’s a one-of-a-kind creation that’s worthy of a royal hand. The Black Onyx Briolettes will delight and play with light as they dangle from your ear at a cocktail party. In a true LadyLUX fashion, these two beauties are handmade.
They say that it’s what on the inside that counts. So what does a lady wear underneath her fabulous glam ensemble? Well, we would never tell, because we are real ladies! But we also know that a true lady would wear Smashing Darling inside and out. The Sassafrass Camisole from On The Inside Lingerie is sure to delight as it supports. You can even match it with Forget Me Not panties for a delicate lace set.
