runway inspired.

September 24, 2012

While I’m so excited to be experiencing my first fall in NYC, a few runway shows from NYFW have me already counting down the months until spring!  Bloglovin‘ is challenging bloggers to create a runway inspired post from Rebecca Minkoff’s Spring/Summer 2013 collection and I thought it would be the perfect opportunity to take elements from her spring collection and integrate them into my fall wardrobe.

My favorite elements from RM’s show were the graphic lines and baroque-style prints — a balanced contrast between traditional patterns and modern details.  So when I found this baroque graphic print dress from Topshop, I knew it would pair perfectly with a peplum top for a look that’s both edgy and sophisticated.

Top: Topshop
Dress: Topshop (worn as a skirt)
Necklace: H&M (similar)
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff
Shoes: Pour la Victoire

With fall quickly approaching, it’s time we put away the bright colors and introduce richer shades into our wardrobe.  As the weather cools down, I’ll be sharing some of this season’s major color trends to help bring your wardrobe up to date.

Lesson #1: Red is out.  Oxblood is in.  Not a big fan of the name, but I’m obsessed with the color.  It’s a dark shade of burgundy with hints of brown and its richness just exudes warm and cozy feelings!  Check out my favorite oxblood items below and let me know what you think of this fall color trend.

1. J.Crew Edie Attaché Bag — $298
2. ShoeMint Hillary Bow Flat — $79.95
3. Topshop Sleeveless Peplum Top — $36
4. Essie Downtown Brown Nail Polish — $8
5. AllSaints Prism Pipe Skinny Jeans — $120

connect the dots.

September 19, 2012

So my sweater weather post might’ve been an understatement after a tornado watch was issued for NYC and much of the east coast yesterday.  Don’t worry, nothing but heavy rain and gusts of wind (strong enough to give me a little tussle!) in my neck of the woods.  Luckily, I actually got to enjoy said sweater weather and took these photos before the storm rolled in.

Top: Old Navy (check in stores)
Shorts: Topshop
Necklace: Spike the Punch
Watch: Michael Kors
Bag: Coach
Shoes: Pour la Victoire (similar)
Lipstick: Revlon Raspberry Pie
