The Most Fashionable Friday during NYFW

10 Feb 2014

It is currently Sunday evening in the middle of Fashion Week and I have a few broken ribs. It all went down after the Timo Weiland show when I slipped on black ice on the sidewalk. For an athletic girl to fall during the first night of Fashion Week is just such an outrageous concept, but here I am the unstoppable warrior doing my thing, platform boots and all. I thought it would be a fun idea to share the details of my weekend, and what exactly goes on during a day in the life of a show-going diva like me. Why? Doing what a Real Housewives character does. “Life isn’t all diamonds and roses, but it should be!” Right on. Friday: September 7, 2014. 7 AM Wake up. Dear... Read More

NYFW: Day 3 Ruffian and Mara Hoffman

09 Feb 2014

Here is a round-up from two of Saturday’s shows. Stay tuned later for more news from the runway! Ruffian: Set to the sounds of church bells, and described with “monastic opulence, tailored volume and sober religious silhouettes” in the programs, there was a clear religious influence in the Ruffian Fall 2014 show. The best part of the collection was the unicorn tapestry print, which in jacket formation was wearable and cool. Styling with red tights brought some much-needed lightness and color, and worked well. While I prefer the recent nods to the 90s over a throwback to the Renaissance, I thought the collection was beautiful and well done. Also, the hats were pretty freaking awesome. Mara Hoffman: It is my opinion that Mara Hoffman should be in charge... Read More

Daisy Marc Jacobs Tweet Shop

Art by Langley Fox, Beats by DJ duo The Jane Doze, and #MJDAISYCHAIN were all key elements to the success of the Daisy Marc Jacobs Tweet Shop event last night. Among the crowd of bloggers and editors was Anna Kendrick, Phoebe Tonkin and Jamie Chung. Many guests got creative with their poses in the photobooth, which featured huge bottles of the Daisy perfume in a field of…wait for it… daisys. I even got a photo of my own which I printed out into a little sticker. Guests left with a full-sized “Daisy” perfume, a print by Langley Fox  (who was in attendance herself) and a few glasses of bubbly in their systems. The most incredible thing about the shop is that no money is exchanged.... Read More

New York Fashion Week might start on Thursday, but it’s game on today as far as I’m concerned – with invites flooding in, interns secured, and hats and belts in their almost-ready position on the floor of my closet and at the ready. But in reality, Fashion Week or not, it’s all about personal style and what mood I am in that very day, which puts me in such a love hate relationship with New York on a daily basis. My next six days or so will take me on tour of our fair city, traveling to the Upper West Side, Chelsea, TriBeCa, SoHo, the Meatpacking District, the Garment Center, the Upper East Side, Murray Hill, Wall Street and even Brooklyn to see shows. I want to wear... Read More

The Pre-Fashion Week Prep

The role of spectator sports is to watch and join in from the comforts of your living room couch. The pros are obvious: you can stay in your pajamas and admire all the exciting happenings from afar. But when I can, I love the role of participating in a sport, even if its from the sidelines. You can have your fantasy football, and the Golden Globes red carpet. Screw Sochi. Sound the trumpets and pass the torch, New York Fashion Week is less than two days away and the third impending Polar vortex is taking precedent over my February calendar. I have limited time to start bundling up like a pro (you know what that means), and join the marathon that is New York Fashion Week. I... Read More

Go Team

Many consider this Sunday to be the nation’s biggest holiday. We’re not talking about Thanksgiving, New Year’s, or Fourth of July. Nope, we’re talking about the Super Bowl. This year, the Denver Broncos will face off against the Seattle Seahawks and Bruno Mars will be center stage as the NFL’s halftime performer. That just about sums up all I know. I’m on team fashun. You might be one of those people across the country that will attend or host a party filled with jersey-clad fans and plenty of chicken wings and chips. If you’re stumped on what to wear — sporty but stylish is the goal. Read on. Sweatshirts and sneakers? Yes, please. A fuzzy blanket to lay on when the new super-hyped commercials hit... Read More

Peter Pilotto X Target

If you love bold intricate prints like I do, get ready for the Brit-based label, Peter Pilotto set to collaborate with Target on Feb 9th. The buzzy hallucinogenic prints, in the name of high fashion, clearly stand out in a crowd. But even more impressive, based on the Target lookbook, is that these intricate and beautiful digital prints in reds, oranges, greens, blues and black and white, seem to translate well to the Target audience. (hehe) I recently recovered from the last high-low collaboration that hit the streets. It was a sheer success, selling out in mere minutes, (I was up at 4am), both in-store and online, causing the online site to inevitably crash. I got lucky and bought the pick of the litter. White leather pants. A metallic... Read More

Navy Nuances

Us New Yorkers love to complain. Either its too hot, or during the deep freeze, über decides to raise its already sky-high rates, or the fact that the upcoming Superbowl crowds and impending 574,857,209,384th storm might wreak havoc on our city. Yesterday it snowed, and after asking on Twitter why frostbite wasn’t trending, I found it. Hashtag #itsfuckingfreezing. The smiles through my wind-blown hair will only last for so long. Let’s face it, winter sucks. The way I see it, I’d much rather sweat, than lose all feelings in my fingers care of a vicious cold front. Unless I’m skiing in the Rocky Mountains, that is. The only road block presented here is a fashion conundrum. Trying to look chic in this weather is borderline irritating. Ditto... Read More
