Two words best describe Jack and Lazaro’s Fall ‘12 collection: oversized and angular. This season Proenza Schouler pushes silhouettes forward with scaled-up varsity jackets and kimono-wrapped skirts fully equipped with karate-inspired black belts. I’m pining over this look in particular which has an oriental yet all-American vibe.

This post is dedicated to Jena of chicityfashion.com, who not only is a fellow Chicago gal, but also shares my love for Proenza Schouler. Check out her Miss Ladyfinger interview here!

To emulate this look, I used Brilliant White by CND, Glenn by Julep Nail Vernis and Vinyl by Orly.

To get these ladyfingers:

1. Paint your full nail white

2. Using a nail art brush, paint thin red vertical stripes across

3. Apply a black tip along the bottom of your nail

4. Paint a red stripe down the center

5. Using a nail art brush, paint a thinner black line in the center of the red

6. Using a dotter tool (or a bobby pin), apply black dots in between the thin red lines

7. Top it off with top coat
