Petite Proportions

 (details coming in next post)

While in LA, I was on the quest to find a few preliminary NYFW wardrobe essential updates to give my closet a new spin for the upcoming shows! While I didn't find everything I was in search of, I did fall for this pint sized piece of perfection (among other things) at the new Acne Studios space at the Eastern Columbia in downtown! Something about a mixed combination of tassles, hard leather, and shape make this a great addition to my closet.

I'll be doing a few more informal posts featuring some of my recent purchases in the mix of all my fashion week coverage. I'm flying back in a few hours amidst the latest snowstorm in hopes of safe travel and a smooth flight!

7th & Spring

(vintage dress, Cynthia Rowley boots,  Ray Ban sunglasses)

During my trip out West, I alway make a visit to one of my old friends and stay for a few days to catch up! She just recently moved into a new loft space and I love the set up! Very downtown NYC vibes!! LA is really starting to gentrify, especially around my old stomping grounds in DTLA (where her space is as well). I will always have a soft spot for this neighborhood. So many great things to take part in. On another note, It's been warm my entire trip, so I haven't made much use of my latest winter purchases. But I love this vintage piece I found in her closet. Paired it with my new boots & uniformed black sunglasses (this pair I picked until I buy my new perfect pair which i'm on the prowl for).. This is a sleek & simple look for daytime. The beadwork on this dress is in great condition and it has a bohemian-ish vibe with the bell sleeve and peasant neckline. Kept the hair natural and pinned back.

Starting a mental prep check list for my trip next week back to NYC - time for NYFW again, this time the A/W 14' collections. I've got a full schedule of shows & parties.

**And I will actually be also be collaborating/hosting a shopping party with Sigerson Morrison in the next few weeks, so if you're in the NYC area - stay tuned!

Black Sabbath

 (Kenneth Cole Bar-Der bag)

For the first time in ages I went to a mall while I was in Dallas last week to do a little post-NYE sale binging. It's was so weird being in a concentrated area of stores instead of window shopping boutiques in NY or LA like i've done the last 8 years! I found this great bag at Kenneth Cole! It kind of reminds me of some kind of lunch box turned cross body bag in buttery lambskin leather with a detachable strap, and it's purrrrrfect! I've been wearing it non-stop since I bought it.

Pre fashion week additions to the closet!

Breaking Barriers

(Miu Miu sunglasses, The Row blazer, Satya chain)

I rarely purchase sunglasses. It's a necessity that I never consider needing. Yet, I'm always expecting to find a perfect pair somewhere in my bag, even though I never seek out to buy new frames. I'm also pretty boring when it comes to style for that matter..I like sleek + black- and thats about it. But i'm finally breaking the barrier and buying something a little more out of the box to steer away from the drab of all black everything. Slowly reintroducing myself to color has been fun, but definitely a work in progress. 

The Miu Miu marble effect? I'm into it. 

 Definitely a constant in my closet for Spring!

Mad for Plaid

(Theory bomber, Zara hat + clutch + pants, Cynthia Rowley booties)

Lets get straight to the point!

I'm kind of in love with these tartan pants I scored at Zara while in NYC last month. 

Very reminiscent of my current fashion vibes

80's hair metal plaids + zipper detailing + chain mail leather + city boots

a bitchin' match made in heaven
