Last July I had the opportunity to attend the New York Times event, Times Talk, hosted by Diane von Furstenberg, Prabal Gurung and Norma Kamali [to read more about it click here]. Sitting among fashion leaders was an amazing opportunity, but listening to Diane speak about fashion and business was beyond inspirational.

For Fall ‘12, her collection featured seducing dresses, bold color and a dash of surrealism. Among my favorite looks is this bold-printed comma? apostrophe? overcoat and matching skirt. Needless to say, this lady is my ultimate muse… and you can quote me on that.

To emulate this look, I used Mitzi by Zoya and Vinyl by Orly.

To get these ladyfingers:

1. Paint one nail of your choice lime green and the rest black

2. Using a dotter tool (or a bobby pin), create dots using the opposite color

3. Paint a little tail along the dots using the corresponding color

4. Top it off with top coat
