Work & Play

September 17, 2014

During Fashion Week, everyone wants to know what shows you went to and how many more you have lined up. The truth of the matter is, going to shows at Lincoln Center is a treat, but for me, NYFW was a balance between work and play. I still punched in at my 9-to-5 during the day and headed to events during the evening and weekends.

So on days where I played double duty, my outfit followed suit. This particular look was leaning more towards work wear, but details like the leather trim on a pair of slim dotted pants, the rich shade of burgundy on the clutch and the killer statement necklace took it from office to runway show in no time flat. For more on NYFW, check out my video recap!

Refined & Relaxed

September 8, 2014

Just in case you haven’t checked your Instagram feed in the last 15 seconds, it’s New York Fashion Week guys. That means everyone and their (stylish) mother is in town for a week of runway shows, presentations and parties. It’s incredibly inspiring, partly dizzying and sometimes maddening, but regardless … I feel lucky to partake in a little part of the craziness.

I started off the week light — in schedule and in style — wearing my new favorite pair of black drawstring pants and a burgundy tank. Definitely a lighter look on the fashion week style scale, but this relaxed outfit went from launch party to runway show to dive bar to couch all in a matter of one night — a feat that I’m pretty sure Anna Wintour would approve of. More goodness from my NYFW adventures to come — until then, follow me on Instagram for the latest and greatest. Happy NYFW loves!

Wear:
Top: LOFT
Pants: LOFT
Sunglasses: Karen Walker
Necklace: LOFT (in stores later this year, similar here and here)
Cuff: Ann Taylor
Bag: Chicwich (c/o) (similar here and here)

A Flare for Leopard

September 4, 2014

Although my style has changed over the years, there’s one thing that’s in it for the long haul: my love for leopard. I don’t care what form it comes in — top, shoes, bag, underwear (sorry, don’t have a link for that one!) — if it’s spotted, I need it. If it’s a leopard skirt — game over. This flared skirt is the latest addition to my animal printed arsenal. I love it with all-black accessories (top, bag, sunglasses), but I can’t wait to play around with other pairings. Leopard is a neutral after all!
