This 2 piece dress suit by Nantette Lepore is so damn cute.  I love the chocolate brown with a pink trim color palette here…LOVE that color combination and it is everything you would expect from Nanette Lepore.  Nanette Lepore was born in Ohio and is a very well known fashion designer based in NYC.  New York Magazine has said that she is “known for her feminine STYLE and fine detailing, Nanette Lepore makes ultra-chic clothes that are the same time easy to wear.”  That just about sums it all up doesn’t it?  When the GODS send me Nanette Lepore I have only 1 policy and that is “to accept all gifts of beauty that come my way”.   This sassy little number would look amazing with these Giuseppe Zanotti heels with silver mesh and since I believe in accepting all gifts of beauty I’ll just wait till the GODS point me in the direction of these heels…  all items on blog are for sale and please tell your friends in Atlanta about doubletake boutique and follow me on Twitter & Facebook and yes of course you can watch my YouTube channel.  Toodles for now.  Daniel your luxury curator!

I know you can’t see the striped Theory button up blouse very well but take my word this blouse looks like it was tailored fit.  I love a good tailored fit blouse / shirt, in fact very little is as grand as wearing a blouse / shirt that feels like it was tailored for you.  Well maybe a 2 week vacation in Capri is grander …  The thing I really love is if you can score yourself a beautiful blouse for next to nothing my best advice is to take it to your alterations place and have them tailor it for you.  Shouldn’t ever blouse you put on fit you like an Hermes glove?  I think so….  I put the Theory blouse with this white cotton skirt by Laundry by Shelli Segal and topped it off with this spectacular floral print Kay Unger jacket.  I know this ensemble looks like it should attend a garden party but we can always have a garden party in our heads in the dead of winter…  All items are for sale and please stop by doubletake boutique next time your in Atlanta and follow me on Twitter & Facebook and as always enjoy my YouTube channel.  Toodles for now.  Daniel your luxury curator!

Yes I love it when I find Nanette Lepore and Trina Turk but what I really love is finding a vintage piece by Philippe Adec such as this jacket…. At one point Philippe Adec was sold in Neiman Marcus but those days are gone so when I find a Adec jacket that was made in France I get excited.  Please don’t get me wrong I love Nanette Lepore and Trina Turk, these 2 great American designers are STYLISH and progressive all within one scoop.  Just check out the detail work on the black knit top by Lepore and the satin trim work on the velvet pleated Turk skirt and you’ll see just how much these 2 women pay attention to detail.  From top to bottom starting with the Nanette Lepore top and Philippe Adec jacket down to the velvet skirt by Trina Turk, this ensemble is dying for full on attention, and won’t have any problems getting it.  Simple chic once again has struck.    All items on blog are for sale and please stop by doubletake boutique next time you’re in Atlanta and follow me on Twitter & Facebook and indulge yourself with my very informative YouTube channel.  Toodles for now.   Daniel your luxury curator!

This outfit is for the woman on the go, who knows where she is going but she is in motion.  This silk abstract top by Tahari is classic and elegant and looks fantastic with the herringbone pattern pink wool skirt by Lilly Pulitzer.  I love to mix up patterns and then anchor it with a solid jacket such as this khaki Theory one.  This entire ensemble: Tahari silk top, Lilly Pulitzer skirt and Theory jacket all got gobbled up when I slung open the door and pillaged.  Quick simple and tasteful is what a professional thrifter hunts for, throw in a brand name and you cranked it up a notch.  Pulling patterns and mixing fabrics to create an alluring ensemble is what I live for.  All items on blog are for sale and please stop by doubletake boutique next time you are in Atlanta and follow me on Twitter & Facebook and yes please tune nightly to my YouTube channel.  Toodles for now.  Daniel your luxury curator!

This posting is very interesting to me because the first item I found were the black Laundry by Shelli Segal slacks with the peekaboo floral cutouts, click on the image of the photo to see the detail, looked very familiar to me.  I had found these slacks once before and posted my blog about it except the slacks weren’t designed by Laundry the first time but Vivienne Tam….  Yes these slacks are identical to what I had found previously.  Like that famous question what came first the chicken or the egg but in this case Vivienne Tam or Laundry?  Who knocked off who I can’t say but all I can say is that these slacks are gorgeous and chic.  I have a sneaky feeling that knocking off designers is common in this industry ( wink wink).  Knowing that I had seen these slacks once before didn’t stop me from buying them especially when the very next item I found was this Cynthia Steffe sheer top that looks super charged with these Laundry black slacks.  Tying every item up nice and neatly I found this Laundry by Shelli Segal jacket with the satin ribbon tie and these brand new BCBG high heels…  yes you heard me correctly brand new heels… these heels would retail for $275-295…  This is a simple chic elegant ensemble that can go from morning to dusk without a hitch or in the case of these black Laundry slacks a hiccup…  All items on blog are for sale and please stop by doubletake next time you are in Atlanta and follow me on Twitter & Facebook and enjoy my YouTube channel.  Toodles for now.  Daniel your luxury curator!

I found this incredibly gorgeous wrap cotton blouse by Neiman Marcus made with handkerchief fabric so it’s soft to the 10th degree.  It ties in the back, click on the photo to see the backside of the blouse, and this top is elegant chic.  Wear this top with anything and you’ll be the ‘star’.  I know both of these slacks are a bit on the ‘spring / summer’ side of life but when the universe opens its loving arms to you and gives you slacks by Womyn & Ferragamo you just have to accept your fate and enjoy the ride.  Both brands Womyn & Ferragamo are expensive and luxurious and in this case colorful.  This ensemble is definitely worth saving till spring / summer for because I have a sneaky feeling these patterns never go out of STYLE.  All items on my blog are for sale and please stop by my boutique doubletake when in Atlanta and follow me on Twitter & Facebook and enjoy my YouTube channel.  Toodles for now.  Daniel your luxury curator!

Is there such a thing as overindulging one’s self??  I sure hope not because if we can’t indulge ourselves here and there then why get out of bed???  With this blog posting I will indulge my clients in chic luxury with this DVF top and silk Akris skirt.  Each time I find a DVF I can’t help but wonder how it got there and who gave up a DVF???  I know women that have their original DVF wrap dress from the 70′s and cherish it even more today so how a DVF item lands in the clutches of a thrift store is beyond my imagination… This white DVF top is in immaculate condition, pristine at it’s finest…I put the white top with this 3 layered silk skirt by Akris, another one of my absolute favorite brands.  The slit up the side of the skirt allows the layers to flow,  revealing layers of patterns and prints this extraordinary skirt offers.  DVF and Akris make the most amazing team, if they were on  The Amazing Race I’m quite sure they would win the prize..

Its interesting how things happen in life….  I had found this gorgeous silver baby doll cut Micheal Kors jacket and gushed over the color with my new friend HollyBeth who just happens to be 1 of the nicest people you’ll ever meet.  Yes I use her products and LOVE them because first of all they are organic and secondly they work!  She took me out for homemade hot cocoa and she mentioned that she was going to go get some silver ribbon for some packages and I said “silver ribbon is STYLISH”.  So silver was the word for the day and this silver Kors jacket is not only hot but timeless.  You can wear this silver jacket anywhere / anyplace and feel like the world threw you a party..  I love that feeling…  I found this sultry luscious black silk Nicole Miller velvet skirt and gushed ever more, as if that’s even possible…  I love this ensemble all you need is the perfect camisole underneath and you would be ready for that close up!  All items on my blog are up for sale and please stop by doubletake boutique when you are in Atlanta.  Follow me on Twitter & Facebook and enjoy my YouTube channel please.  Toodles for now.  Daniel your luxury curator!
