Fashion Week Survival

Fashion Week Survival: hmm

Three wise women once said "I'm a survivor. I'm gonna make it. I will survive. Keep on survivin." Still don't know? They just sort of performed at the Superbowl... {cough Destiny's Child cough}. To survive the most stressful yet exciting time of the year in the fashion world, a few things are of crucial importance. First and probably most imperative, the bag. In my case - it's the 3.1 Phillip Lim Satchel I bought myself a few weeks ago. This will change throughout the week so an eye popping clutch and so on, but you know what I mean. What would fashion week be without a leather baseball cap (this one's from ASOS), crossing my fingers everyone else leaves theres at home. A pair of classic but oh-so-cool pumps (Alexander Wang) and then sneakers (Lanvin) for when you get blisters (guaranteed) and are running in-between shows. Long days lead to oily faces, no ones perfect guys - bring in the oil absorbing sheets. Why Perrier you may ask? Because water just doesn't cut it when your in need of a good ole thirst quencher. Though now that I think of it, there's always a beverage sponsor at Lincoln Center so maybe I'll leave this one at home. I don't even want to think about the number of people I'll be bumping into and saying hi to at the shows, so clean smelling breath is a must...hello new best friend (Take 5 gum). Karen Walker sunnies, duh. Camera, double duh. Bright red Tibi suit, hell yes (I'll be wearing this to the Tibi show). Good luck to all, mainly me.

Denim Checks

Wearing: Current/Elliot Jeans | Marc by Marc Jacobs Shirt | Vintage Blazer - Similar | ASOS Baseball Cap | Alexander Wang Pumps 

Denim on denim is never overkill in my opinion, and I think most you can agree. The outfit inspiration behind the above was simply me wanting to bring out the green in the plaid using the green in my new wang pumps. The obvious choice would be all black and probably something leather, but I was feeling rather spunky yesterday (which meant not being afraid of a little color for me). Don't worry though, Sunday I'll be posting an all black outfit again {blarg}.

Front Slit

Wearing: J Brand Jeans | Alexander Wang Pumps | She Inside Sweatshirt | ASOS Baseball Cap

J Brand hits the nail on the head with these front slit wax skinny jeans that I really can't get enough of. I attempted to slit my own jeans in the front after seeing this style in Elin Kling's Nowhere collection a while back...but it was an epic fail. So happy I found this awesome pair and can't wait to wear them more. These are also my new wang heels, how cool is the green?
Sorry I've been MIA this week - I've been dealing with some personal things :/ Anyway, it's a gorgeous day in NYC which is a great change from the freezing cold weather - so happy to not be wearing a jacket!

COMME des F*DOWN

Wearing: The Cut Tee | Work Custom Pants | Zara Jacket | Alexander Wang Heels | 3.1 Phillip Lim Bag

This look I wore the other day defines what I loved so much about visiting Stockholm, Sweden this past summer - the fashion. Skinny pants, pointy toe heels, a casual tee, and long sleek coat (with a little New York edge). Crossing my fingers that I'll get to travel back to that amazing place again this summer for Stockholm Fashion Week. But first, NYFW... ah so soon!

LeoSleeves

Wearing: H&M Top (in stores now) | Work Custom Leather Pants | Alexander Wang Heels | Blue&Cream Beanie 

If you haven't stopped by H&M lately, then you haven't seen their latest collections (shame on you). This shirt is just one of the many in a collection of bold prints and structured pieces. Pretty high fashion looking if you ask me. There's even a full leopard print suit that I'm thinking of sporting during fashion week next month. That, and a leather baseball cap would be sure to catch the eyes of Tommy Ton and more...

'Tis the Season

Wearing: H&M Pants - Similar | Vintage Cardigan | Alexander Wang Heels (via sample sale) | Ray Ban Sunnies

Now that Thanksgiving is over, we can focus on a more important holiday.. one full of presents, pretty lights, and incredible music we for some reason only listen to one month of the year - this should change. I'm currently working on my holiday wish list and want to hear what you guys are asking Santa for this year (I maybe still believe in him)!

Rebecca Minkoff: 3 Ways

Look 1: Rebecca Minkoff Jacket & Bag | ASOS Dungarees | Rachel Roy Loafers 
Look 2: Rebecca Minkoff Jacket & Bag | James Jeans | Theory Tee | Alexander Wang Heels
Look 3: Rebecca Minkoff JacketBag | LF Skirt - Similar | American Apparel Crop Top | Zara Booties 

When asked to style 1 bag, and 1 jacket, 3 different ways - I was of course up for the challenge. I'm obsessed with this leather sleeve jacket and even though its red, has turned out to be very versatile. The bag is adorable too, and perfect for when I'm going out at night. From the time I started blogging until now, I've watched Rebecca Minkoff grow her brand and expand in ways unimaginable for such a short period of time. The team over at RM has grabbed social media by the horns, and have jumped on the blogger ship more than other brand I know/work with. They truly know what it takes... not to mention the designs and products have become better and better with every season. The RM runway show was one of my favorites this past fashion week - and even the newly launched jewelry is right up my alley. ALERT: Rebecca Minkoff is a brand to watch.

Hailing Hands

Wearing: Vintage Sweatshirt | ASOS Jeans | Alexander Wang Heels 

Here they are guys, the heels behind the story (this story). How lucky was I to find these babies in a random thrift store at a great price?! And how about this weather! It's still pretty warm, but cooling down a lot, enough to wear a graphic sweatshirt with some trash denim jeans. I love you Fall.

Major Find



Wearing: Storets Skirt (co) | Vintage Blouse (from Local Clothing) | Jennifer Zeuner Nameplate (co) | Maya Brenner Arrow Necklace (co) 

I have the greatest story for you guys.. ready? For the longest time I really wanted this pair of Alexander Wang Heels (ask any of my friends, they'll tell you it's true). You might have seen them before and may be thinking they are overdone, but I think they are the most perfect pump, both classy and edgy. Anyways, while on an East Village thrifting adventure yesterday I stopped in the most random little store (I had never heard of) just out of curiosity. And guess what? There they were, sitting on the shelf of this consignment shop for only $180! Did I mention these shoes retail for about $600! There was no way these could be my size, what were they even doing here - looking brand new and spiffy. But they were, and they fit perfectly! Now that's what I call major thrifting success, or maybe just fate. I'll wear them in an outfit this week to show you guys just how perfect they are.

Perfect Prints

  
Wearing: Clover Canyon Pants | Mango Top | Alexander Wang Wallet

Shopping in Saks the other day, I was stopped in my tracks by a pair of perfectly printed pants that I just couldn't pass up. The combination of stripes and florals, not to the mention they're silk and wide-legged... could it get any better? Clover Canyon is an awesome brand that I definitely suggest you guys check out. ALSO, how great is this Alexander Wallet my amazing boyfriend gave me for my birthday?! Gotta love guys with style.

Backwards Fashion


If you haven't had your eyes closed lately, you've seen an interesting trend taking over the fashion industry. We're all familiar with the "racer back" style, seen in everything from tank tops to swimsuits. Only the most inventive of designers would think to flip this - introducing the newest form of backwards fashion, the racer-front. I personally love this style because it enhances the assets and creates the perfect canvas to set an awesome bib necklace or collar. It's kind of a sexy take on the muscle tee. Warning to all those who are well endowed in the chest area, you might not be able to pull this look off. The tank I'm wearing here is from H&M and also comes in a heather grey. Both are available in stores now... 

Alexander Wang (of course) offers some awesome options for this racer-front tank trend.
