Überchic Presents: Lanphear September

Kate Lanphear is a master at monochromatic dressing, an expert at accessorizing, a specialist at simple yet chic clothing and an all around fashion icon.

That’s why Überchic will be devoting the rest of September to the platinum haired editrix’s style.

Washington D.C. native Lanphear has worked at Vogue Australia and Harper’s Bazaar but is now the Style Editor at US Elle where she never fails to deliver the magazine’s best content.

This week we look at how Lanphear excels at sticking to the gray scale, with only the occasional touch of denim or plaid, without once looking anything less than spectacular.

Look Of The Week: By The Sea

By the sea, Mr. Todd, that's the life I covet,

By the sea, Mr. Todd, ooh, I know you'd love it!

By the sea,
With the fishies splashing!

By the sea!
Wouldn't that be smashing?

By the seaside,
Hoo, hoo!

By the beautiful sea . . .

Wang + Gap

While Alexander Wang’s motorcycle is earning all the fashion buzz, my personal fave is the blazer. Khaki has always been kind of a boring fabric, but if you pair the kick ass blazer with all black and some statement jewelry you get a rocking look that is anything but dull.

Try this

Bored? Tired of the same old routine? In need of something fresh for spring?

Try. . .

…piling your hair up in the highest chignon like Lily D. and Jessica S.

…running errands, going to breakfast or doing anything common in a sparkly vest or an intricate dress.

…going to your next party as the picture of understated elegance in pure black and only one or two knockout accessories.

…forgoing gigantic totes in favor of spring’s highly desirable mini bags.

…wearing all your necklaces at once.
