Work & Play

September 17, 2014

Swiss Dot Pants & Leopard Heels

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.

Black & White Work Outfit

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!

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!
