Rent The Runway

November 10, 2009

What?!?! Really?!?! You can order a dress, have it delivered and then return it after you’ve worn it?!?!

I have countless dresses in my closet that I have only worn for one occasion, this is a girl’s dream come true!!

I have been embracing the statement necklace all season long, and I am happy to see that this trend is continuing for Spring of next year. From layered looks to chunky hardware, these necklaces were all over the Spring 2010 runways…

I loved this shot from the November issue of Parisian Vogue.

I love the Isabel Marant boots the most! I saw an imitation pair at Lord & Taylor over the weekend that only cost $275, a fraction of the cost of Isabel Marant!

Winter Coat Wonders!

October 16, 2009

I am a huge fan of a vintage fur in winter, but this year I am thinking that I should buy nice wool/cashmere winter coat that can last me for about 10 years.

There are so many styles to choose from! These are the ones that caught my eye thus far…

Also, Lula’s Issue 9 is filled with photo shoots of red-headed models, loves it!

So I am changing my costume again…. Alexander Wang’s Spring 2010 collection was inspired by old-school football days and it was so chic!

I am going to put a costume together to be an Alexander Wang Footballer!!

All I need is a french terry sweatshirt (or red and white striped shirt) with shoulder pads, tube socks and a leather headband!  Super excited to pull this look together!

Flea Market Finds

October 5, 2009

I hit up the flea markets and vintage stores this weekend and found a few great pieces!

At the Garage Flea Market in Chelsea I picked up this necklace… The woman asked for $45 and I got her down to $20! Love the geo shapes!

Opening Ceremony does it again! Spike Jonze joined with Opening Ceremony to create a collection of faux fur duds to launch at the same time as the opening of his new film, Where The Wild Things Areon October 16th. I think it is a brilliant idea! What more could you want than faux fur clothing inspired by your favorite childhood book?!

A very good friend of mine, Michelle Adams has launched a new web magazine, Lonny with her friend Patrick Cline. They are inspired by LONdon and NY and it is evident in each page of the magazine. From fashion to interiors, the inspiration is endless!

Michelle so graciously asked me to be a part of the very first issue!

 I am featured here with my favorite top 10 favorite items!

 DESMITTEN

 I am so proud of Michelle, and cannot thank her enough for including me in this amazing achievement!
