A fair amount of outfit planning went into this trip to Paris. I needed to pack a lot of pieces that would work with different outfits but also be chic for fashion week. While I will be showing you some of my actual outfits tomorrow, these are some of the looks that inspired me. I’m sticking […]
It’s really hard to look and feel chic when the windchill is 0 degrees but the fashion flock are doing a pretty good job this fashion week. Except for those wearing sandals with bare legs on snowy days. They just look stupid. I’ve tried to put together some of the more appropriate yet interesting looks. I […]
The only bad thing about the fall fashion shows in February is that you want to buy everything you see and wear it immediately. This was never more true than at the Frame Denim Fall 2015 presentation. I’m not tall enough to wear the 1970’s inspired flares but I would love to be wearing the skirts […]
I couldn’t think of a better way to follow up on my HATCH Collection post than to highlight the chic pregnancy style of Miroslava Duma. The Russian founder of Buro 24/7 who is better known as Mira was a fixture at the spring 2015 fashion shows in New York, Milan, and Paris. She has great style […]

New York Fashion Week kicked off last night with a fete at Gracie Mansion and I noticed a theme among a few of the designers. Jenna Lyons of J.Crew, Ralph Lauren, and Carolina Herrera all wore grey and white. A great way to transition your white pieces for after Labor Day. I’ll be attending all […]
You might not be hearing about it on the news but I’m sure you’ve seen on twitter and instagram that it’s fashion week in New York. My approach to attending shows in recent years has been to support some new talent in between all my favorites. While Misha Nonoo is not new, it was first […]
Since I live in New York, I have a lot of friends who work for fashion designers, magazines, and pr firms. I am often privy to how things really work behind the scenes. If you want insight into it too, I suggest reading Who Watches the Watchmen? an Op-Ed piece on the Business of Fashion […]
Big thanks to my style and business idol Aerin Lauder for including me on her list of twitter accounts to follow during fashion week! I love being sandwiched between NY1 Weather, very important to follow when getting dressed each day, and legendary fashion designer Michael Kors.

One of the most exciting shows I attended during fashion week was Belstaff. The Spring 2013 show was their first runway presentation since Martin Cooper has taken over as designer and it didn’t disappoint. The muted tones were a welcome respite after all the color elsewhere that week. There were definitely hints to the motorcycle […]
When I first met Joyann King, the site editor of Harper’s Bazaar, I told her how much I loved “shopping” the magazine. I love that it’s full of pieces at every price level and something for everyone. Now you can actually shop the magazine online. This morning, I attended an intimate breakfast hosted by editor-in-chief […]
The temperature cooled down in New York and the fashion flock is embracing black at the shows. It seems right after all that color this summer and is always my go to on grey days. We have Coco Chanel to thank for the little black dress and I might wear my own today. Also seems […]
When it comes to fashion power couples, it doesn’t get more powerful than Ed Filipowski and Mark Lee. Ed is the co-president of KCD, the special events firm that puts on many of the chicest shows at fashion week like Marc Jacobs, Tory Burch, and Derek Lam. Mark is the CEO of Barneys, the retail […]
One sure fire way to be photographed by the street style photographers during fashion week is to wear color. Mr. Newton captured the inspiring outfit above in Milan for Harper’s Bazaar and I love the combination of neutrals, aqua, orange, and purple. It not only looks nice as an outfit but also in art and […]
I’ve mentioned before that fashion shows are extremely expensive to produce. That’s the reason why some young or smaller designer houses are forced to get creative and show off site from Lincoln Center. Lauren Moffatt showed her Fall 2012 collection at a school on Mott Street Thursday and it couldn’t have been more perfect. According […]
Today is the beginning of Fall 2012 Fashion Week in New York. As you know, one of my favorite aspects besides the runway shows and actually viewing the clothes is seeing the designer’s mood boards full of inspiration. Jason Wu just posted his on tumblr and it already has me excited for his fall collection […]
I was beyond excited to be invited backstage at the Derek Lam Spring 2012 show again by Estee Lauder. It is such a treat to watch makeup artist Tom Pecheux for Estée Lauder and his team work their magic on the models. That’s in addition to Jin Soon Choi for Estée Lauder and her team […]
