This past Saturday we partnered up with clothing line Per Se to showcase some of our favorite trends for spring 2010. Our goal was really to show how a mother and daughter can make the same (or very similar) pieces work, and that those pieces should be ones you will have in your closet for a lifetime. Using a lot of our own accessories and shoes, we personalized the Per Se pieces to make them feel like us. We had so much fun working with designer Susan Klope and the rest of the Per Se/Carlisle team. Hope these pictures inspire you to start thinking about what you’ll be wearing this spring…if it ever gets here, that is! Below, me and mom workin’ the same tweed dress…very ladies who lunch 
This was one of my favorite looks for both of us. I loved how they both mixed bohemian, yet urban elements.
Mom in the black mirrored jacket and ruffle skirt accessorized with a fab Lanvin necklace. She looked so HOT in this combo!
If I could live in these cropped black pants, I would (and maybe I just will…). I have accumulated so many pairs of them over the years, so when I tell you that Per Se’s are really great you should believe me–I have tried them all! Worn with their adorable shrunken neon jacket and a St. James tee. Accessorized with the requisite MKS bracelets.
When we first went in to style the looks for the event, we both gravitated immediately towards these sequin dresses. How perfect would they have been for New Year’s Eve?! Mom wore hers with her favorite Prada heels (consigned) and a great leather coat. I went a little wild with this one and had it shortened about nine inches! You have to go all out with a dress like this! Accessorized with a Lanvin necklace and Fendi heels. Thanks to all who came out for the event! We loved seeing/meeting you all. – L
You girls are just super chic! I’m definitely loving the first dress and Lauren’s shoe collection!! 
I love the tweed dresses and neon jacket! Tres chic.

February 10, 2010 5:45 pmAdore the photos and the clothes. Lauren, what flats are you wearing with the cropped black pants? They look strong & substantial compared to the delicateness of most ballet flats. I love them! And do tell more about the “requisite MKS bracelets”…
February 10, 2010 6:20 pmthe flats are by French Sole and the bracelets are by Mary Kate Steinmiller and sold at Charlotte Ronson in NYC!

February 12, 2010 4:24 pmSuzanne and Lauren: It was an absolute pleasure partnering with you and watching the wonderful chemistry you have with our designer, Susan Klope. This event was the result of that authentic relationship truly working and the fact that both of you have such great personal senses of style. We love women with drive, opinions, personal style, and a sense of self. You have it in spades! Thanks again for your thoughtful partnership.
All the best,
