As part of this week, Lauren sent me several style quotes that she lives by:
“Fashion fades, style is eternal.” — Coco Chanel
“Give a girl the right shoes and she can conquer the world.” — Better Midler
and
“Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.” — Leonardo DaVinci
I think the last one is especially pertinent with this a dress from Cache that Lauren bought for New Year’s Eve:

“I love the feel of the fabric and the jewel-encrusted one-shoulder feature, and the color really pops,” Lauren says. “It definitely makes me feel very feminine and somewhat empowered.”
This is a great dress. It’s a very basic, but very flattering cut. And when you add in the visual interest from the single sleeve and the ruching, I think it’s very sophisticated.
Also, the bangles are from the not-so-super-secret hometown favorite, importer Jun Lee on Summer.
