Katherine Kwei's S/S 2011 Collection Preview
On Tuesday night, I had the lovely pleasure of attending a preview for Katherine Kwei’s Spring/Summer 2011 collection. With many thanks to the amazing Bianca and Mallory of Small Girls PR, I got to scope out boho, poetic-chic bags with fringe, super-soft leather, and tie-dye motifs. I kid you not, these bags are sweetly feminine, tough and so, so, so soft! (I’m posing with a...

Maybe it’s a new, standard bag. Or a little gem of some sort, a tiny piece of flair to decorate oneself. Or, a brand new color. I’m all over the details this week. I’ve also managed to convince myself that I cannot live without that agate cuff.

Black Bangle with crystal inset, $32
Bacchus dress, $192
Brooch, $59

Fall Lust List, Part Deux
Autumn in New York is delightful, from simple pleasures like getting a steaming cup of coffee, wandering around a park, or just window shopping - it’s fabulous. It’s all about a craving: the pillow-y fabrics, soft textures, buttery leather. The cool weather has me itching to bring out burnt pumpkin oranges, deep reds (hello lips), and thick-thick-thick leather numbers. I’m...

Outfit du Jour: Bridal Shower
When: October 16, 2010 Cardigan: J.Crew Drapey Tank: Eight-Sixty Skirt: Kate Spade Tights: Marshall’s Heels: Balenciaga Necklace: Anthropologie Bracelet: Juicy First of all, I was on a super-secret stealth mission that lead to zero tweeting or blogging about said bridal shower. Since we’re all social media lovers, I didn’t want to give away any hint for my friend D.’s...

I Live In The Twentieth Century
I live in the Twentieth Century and you lie here beside me. You were unhappy when you fell asleep. There was nothing I could do about it. I felt hopeless. Your face is so beautiful that I cannot stop to describe it, and there’s nothing I can do to make you happy while you sleep. - Richard Brautigan

Fall Lust List
With each season, there are go-to items on my list. I rip out pictures from magazines, doodle fabulous skirts, make wishlists, and inspiration boards. This year, there is no exception. Right now, my round up includes a bevy of dreamy items. I’m digging deep, deep purple hues (Zoya polishes) - almost black! I want to cozy up in light neutrals like camel, oatmeal, and mushroom. Grey is...

Hot Shoes
I’ll be the first to admit it: when I cut that first new paycheck, I wanted to buy myself something. That something always turns out to be shoes! Over almost the past two months, here are some lovely little numbers that I picked up on a sample sale (and one was just regular price!) The pink glamazon, bow and diamante Barbie heels are by my love Betsey Johnson, the tough-girl spikes are BCBG...

link: Fashion that does double duty →
Be still my heart! I’ve got it real bad for any clothing or accessory that can be worn in different ways. I think it started at an early age with my intrigue over the infinite dress. Refinery29 really does know me - one pair of boots that can be three? A reversible dress in a deep, inky blue and a vibrant purple? And I really j’adore the Rachel Roy Hulk dress because I’m really...
