A Sneaking Suspicion

September 11, 2014

Black & Gold Tweed Shorts

Real talk: I loved getting dressed up for NYFW, but was already ready to kick my heels to the curb by the end of the third day.  After a day of meetings and showroom visits, I decided to give my feet a break and threw on a pair of gold snake-print slip-on sneakers.  I mean, if you’re gonna go casual for fashion week, it better be cool.

Black & Gold Outfit

I wore this look to the French Connection holiday launch party in SoHo.  Normally, I wouldn’t reach for pearls and tweed for a night on the town, but a little red lip and some slip-on sneakers took this outfit from uptown to downtown just like that.  And as for the rest of my NYFW in heels?  I had a sneaking suspicion that didn’t last very long (see what I did there?).

On the Up and Up

September 9, 2014

Jewel Toned Floral Skirt

There are two ways I usually wear my hair: pin-straight or in a loose curl.  As nuts as this might seem, I have never ever worn my hair up on the blog before and I rarely wear it up in real life (with the exception of the gym).  So when the team from The Stylisted swung by an NYFW pre-party hosted by Krista for hair and makeup, I figured: no time like the present (which is my grownup way of saying YOLO).

Emerald Spaghetti Strap Top & Gold Floral Skirt

So we indulged in mimosas (lots of them) and hairspray (lots of it) before heading over to the RewardStyle Party on the rooftop of Empire Hotel.  I decided on a messy low bun full of braids and enough volume to make my baby Bump-It (circa 2008) jealous.  It was the perfect updo to match my jewel-toned cami and floral pencil skirt, making for the kind of look that you wouldn’t expect had one too many cocktails all weekend long.  Cheers friends!
