Sister blogging duo Rachel et Nicole are at it again, rocking pieces from the Fall 2012 Nicole Miller Artelier collection. This time they brought some interesting accessories along for the ride….

Nicole transformed our beaded feather applique dress into a blouse by pairing it with our cotton metal shorts.  Her studded bowtie completes this ‘borrowed from the boys’ look, which is perfect for Fall ensembles that call for more structure than the flowing silhouettes of Summer.

If gold and purple are colors of royalty, Rachel looks like rock royalty in our 70s hippie-inspired guitar printed dress with an extra set of ears (those were all hers!).
