Tibi Tribute

Wearing: Tibi Suit (resort collection) | Steve Madden Heels | Prada Sunnies

Elevated. This is the word that not only my manager abuses, but is perfect to describe what Amy Smilovic has done to Tibi's Fall13 collection. Boxy neoprene sweatshirts, turtleneck dickeys {giggle like an 8 year old boy}, pony-hair pullovers, and long leather shorts were the functional pieces that graced the runway this season. Not to mention the thigh high leather boots that brought sexy back to utilitarian sportswear. I was lucky enough to head backstage before the show, chat with Amy, and sport an incredible suit from her resort collection. Can't wait to work with the adorable ladies behind Tibi more soon. For now, check out some of my favorite looks...

BTW: If you want to come with me to Paris Fashion Week - vote for my picture on Fashiolista HERE.

Day One

Wearing: Jonathan Simkhai Skirt c/o American Two Shot | Tibi Crop Long Sleeve (coming soon) | Prada Sunnies | Ash Wedges | 3.1 Phillip Lim Bag 

Okay, so day one of fashion is officially over, and so are my toes. Man oh man I forgot what it was like to walk in heels literally all day (rather than for a quick outfit post). By 10am this morning I found myself in the front row of the BCBG Maxazria fashion show, I'd say that's a good start. The show was everything I hoped it would be, from street chic leather and fur pieces to grunge silhouettes it was perfection in a catwalk. Did I mention almost every model was wearing a beanie!? After a few presentations and shows in-between I ended with the Sachin & Babi runway show in Meatpacking. There was a changing of the tops/beanie/sunnies at some point during this crazy long first day of New York fashion week. NEXT...

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.

Leather Dungarees

Wearing: ASOS Dungarees | Vintage Rolling Stones Tee - Similar | Juicy Couture Bag

They have arrived - and have exceeded my expectations! The perfect dungarees obviously brought to you by ASOS are too too good. I'm obsessed guys, and even more obsessed now that I realized they are identical to the 3.1 Phillip Lim overalls seen in the latest resort collection (here). Getting the look for less, works for me! Look for me in my leather dungarees - this Fall (yes, that rhymed). 

My girl Serena (who also took my photo's) is wearing: Tibi Skirt | ASOS Sweater | YSL Bag
