We asked fashion designer and stylist, Brooke Atwood, to give us some New Year’s Eve fashion picks inspired only by the grapefruit image below. Her picks, like Brooke, are sheer, classic and flashy with a color scheme fitting a grapefruit, a femme fatale and a New Year.

This week, the artichoke serves as our muse. Layered shades of mid-century green with the faintest striae of deep purple. Edges so sharp they can leave a temporary mark in your hand and a center so buttery it will leave an indelible mark in your soul.
We all know the pleasures of eating strawberries and some extol their aphrodisiacal properties, but none so well as Madame Tallien. Born to the aristocracy, given six names, and raised by nuns, this strawberry lover survived a march to the guillotine, bearing the fruit (ten) of multiple lovers and husbands (including the notoriously seedy and filthy Napoleon Bonaparte), several stints in prison and all of the great political and social shifts of the late 1700s. A style maven and risk-taker throughout her life, she insisted on bathing solely in the cure-all juice of strawberries.
I’m all about living a thoughtful, introspective existence, but some things are better left unexamined.
Like the Easter Bunny.
