Camel Coat

Vintage Coat, Gap Cape, Sam Edelman Balenciaga boots, Nightingale bag, Topshop skinny jeans

Here are the full shots of my outfit from the post below. Minutes before walking over to Lincoln Center I was actually in flats. I quickly made the switch half a block away. Just in time too. A few Street Style photographers snapped me and my platform boots as I made my way over to the fountain. The sacrifices one makes for Fashion Week, just to be a little bit taller. ;)

New York in Pictures

Believe it or not, I still have a few photos left to share from my whirlwind stint in New York for Mercedes Benz Fashion Week earlier this month. These pictures were taken between Michael Kors and Milly. I met up with Andy for a much needed glamorous break of coffee and interviews. You can actually check out one of the video interviews for Bond No. 9 perfume on facebook here. I swear we talked a lot more than that though...

Kate Bosworth in Nylon + MFW

I only buy magazines if I like the cover. Is that weird? Really liking the styling on Kate Bosworth for Nylon.

Which shows from Milan Fashion Week spoke the most to you? Aside from the oft talked about Gucci, Bottega Veneta, Dolce and Gabbana, Roberto Cavalli and Jil Sander, I really enjoyed the collection from Moschino Cheap and Chic. The furs, the tights, the brights. Emilio Pucci dazzled again with shimmer embellished dresses and polished pant suits. My only aversion was the combination of knee-length dresses with ankle boots, not the most flattering combination. In my humble opinion, anyway.

New Haircut

For those of you already following me on Twitter, you know I cut my hair again. Yes, I've lopped off several inches from my hair. 5 inches to be exact. It feels super short to me, it always does after a fresh cut, however this is the shortest I've gone in a very long time. I figured a fresh change was due for the Summer.

How do you like it?

L.A.M.B. Fall 2011 RTW

New York Fashion Week came to a close with Gwen Stefani's Fall show, full of theatrics and glamour girls, literally. Gwen sent out six distinct groups of perfectly coiffed and clothed models. The collection started with Soldier girls and was punctuated with Glamour girls. Raga Muffin, London, Buffalo and Mod girls took center stage. The funky vibe set by the eclectic, and a little bit eighties, soundtrack merged well with the larger than life video screen clips playing in loop. My favorite pieces came from the Ragga Muffin and Buffalo girls. Think: Structured jackets, bright colors, blanket plaids and sky-high knit hats.

See the full collection here.

The Night I Saw L.A.M.B.

{Topshop boots, Vintage Camel coat, Alex and Vina ring, YSL clutch}

As much as I wanted to wear my new L.A.M.B. heels, it was far too chilly for them in New York. I went with thigh high boots instead. I hope it's OK that it's taking me a while to go through all of my New York Fashion Week photos and coverage? Thanks for following me along on all of my adventures and updates...

*Soon to come: My coverage of the L.A.M.B. Show!

Elie Tahari Fall 2011 RTW

As the models began their stroll down the runway, I was immediately drawn to the pencil skirts, rich wools, luxurious furs and fluid blouses. The ambient soundtrack set to the show was as airy and whimsical as the delicate pieces showcased. Elie Tahari played with shades of black, white, sepia, wine and deep port. The collection was impeccably styled by Joe Zee. Once again, I’m excited for Fall Wear.

New York at Night during MBFW

{Asos cape, So Low Leggings, Balenciaga Platform loafers, Marc Jacobs watch, H&M rosette clutch}

I chose to kick off New York Fashion Week's Sophomore season at Lincoln Center in my Asos cape. I simply cannot get enough of the color or the silhouette. Bundled up, cozy and warm, I still felt one-hundred percent on trend as I made my way through the throng of photographers to attend my first show of the evening, Elie Tahari.

*Coverage of the show to come soon!

NYFW Fall 2011 Details

A few shots of the accessories I wore while in New York for Mercedes Benz Fashion Week. I stuck to a lot of black, khaki and rose gold accents.

Back from MBFW

One of the shows I had to miss because I was out of town. :(

Hands down one of my favorite models, Anna Selezneva.

A little kitschy souvenir. This way I can always remember a snowy version of New York City.

I wore sequins and khaki last September during NYFW. I kind of kept along the same neutral lines this season as well... you'll see. ;)

Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week was a blast! Thanks to all the shows that invited me out. Hopefully next season I won't be traveling, so I can make them all. I have plenty of pictures to share from the shows I attended and stories to tell as well. I'm sifting through everything now. ...Stay tuned!

Shaggy Society

Some quick photos before I head out into New York City to play. I think I'm going to wear that same skirt during my stay. Hope you're all having a fabulous Tuesday. Can't make it to New York Fashion Week? No worries. Catch some of the LIVE Streaming action here.

L.A.M.B. Spring 2011 Sandals

{L.A.M.B. Kandis sandal}

Look what came in the mail today. Happy Valentine's Day indeed! These sandals are so sexy and feminine. The beauty in the design is the simplicity, with just enough edge. The eighties seem to be where the influence stemmed from. Activewear was big in the eighties and clearly comes to focus in the design of this sandal. Gwen Stefani has the most amazing sense of style, self-confidence and flair. She doesn’t follow trends, she starts them. I can't wait to see what she has up her sleeve next...

Now I really want Spring to arrive. I can't wait to wear them out on the town!!!

Golden Valentine

Thinking of rocking this dress again for dinner tonight. Previously posted here. I'm making homemade pasta for dinner with an italian salad and goat cheese rolls. They say food is the best way to a man's heart, no? I'm also excited because right after dinner, we fly out to NYC!!! See you there.

Happy Valentine's Day, I love you guys!!!

And congratulations to Fashion Agony who won the $100 gift card Chic Shop Giveaway. Happy shopping!!

Soul Mates

With Valentine's Day literally around the corner and Mother's Day not that far off, I was lucky to discover Buy love handbags. These adorable totes come in sets of two. The way best friends usually do. I wanted to give them to the two most important people in my life. My Mother and her Mother, my Grandmother. I chose Strength, because they have both instilled that in me. In a world run by men, they have both shown me how to remain a lady, truly shine and be the best person I can possibly be! As Carrie Bradshaw once cited on Sex and The City, "Maybe our girlfriends are our soul mates and guys are just people to have fun with."

Who is your soul mate?

10% OFF through February + a free Buy Love Give Love shirt with each bag. (I love mine.) Use Promo Code: LOVE.

*Stay tuned, I will also be sharing a special promotional code just for you guys to use as we get closer to Mother's Day! :)
