Every week, Alice + Olivia designer Stacey Bendet puts a feature on her website called 4AM finds--basically a visual list of cool things that she finds, be they clothes, beauty products, furniture, whatever. Gwyneth Paltrow, who does something similar every week in her newsletter GOOP, and wears a lot of Alice + Olivia, guest edited this week's edition of Stacey's feature and shared her current must-haves, some of which actually look affordable (which things she shares on GOOP usually aren't).

Alice+Olivia And Tracy Reese Fall 2011: Pretty Girls

If you need to be gloriously, full-on pretty, look no further than Tracy Reese and Alice+Olivia by Stacey Bendet. These two labels, while definitely having different sensibilities, appreciate that you’re a girl and want to dress you like one. Alice+Olivia by Stacey Bendet: “Life’s a banquet, and most suckers are starving to death.”-Auntie Mame. Stacey Bendet’s inspiration for Alice+Olivia’s Fall Collection was a modern interpretation of Auntie Mame. To this end, her models were presented in a gilded room at the Plaza, surrounded by waiters passing champagne and chocolate, with a burlesque performance by Hazel Honeysuckle thrown in for good measure. Sequins, spangles, beading, rich metallic tweed jackets, and fur--all heaped on together--looked rich, luxe, and playful. The gold skinny pants with the patented Stacey rise and waistband were amazing, as was a relatively simple long-sleeved knee length dress covered in silver sequins.
