Early Spring, BCBG Teal Pleats

BCBG Maternity

One thing I can tell you, I hate maternity clothes.

Maybe I would like them if I took a traveled in time to 2005, but for the most part that’s impossible. Getting ready for 400 fashion bloggers can be a nightmare when everything fits wonky, and maternity clothes aren’t my jam. However, I figured to invest in a few good dresses and headed down to Pea in The Pod. Luckily they had a beautiful Ksenia dress by BCBG (which also comes in regular size.. or maybe works as both?), that I would want to wear regardless, especially paired with a white motorcycle jacket. With beautiful pleats, pretty colors it is very springy, and of course being February, I’m already ready for spring fever.

Gigi New York was giving bags to the VIPs at the IFB Conference, and luckily there was one the same color as my dress! It’s perfect for those of us who love tiny bags and clutches.

Another thing I found difficult was finding a pair of cute flats. I can’t walk in heels anymore, especially if I’m on my feet all day. Luckily Topshop had a cute pair of shoes, that again, would be perfect for spring.

Instead of handing out descriptions Jonathan Simkhai had his moodboard for his presentation handed out. Black and white photocopies of old photos of The Specials, a ska band from 1970′s London. As someone who loved ska music back in high school, and loved photo copied ‘zines, this show might be a revitalizing treat or a [...]

Before leaving for the show, I was trying to get dressed in a way that looked chic enough for fashion week, warm enough for post-blizzard temperatures, and somehow flattering enough with my transforming body. It occurred to me that transforming my wardrobe is now an everyday thing, as I rolled up a fur vest that [...]

Cozy Autumn Knits

the coveted massimo dutti sweater

It’s officially sweater season. I keep collecting sweaters that all have a very similar theme, slightly oversized, chunky, and super cozy. There is something very comforting about snuggling up with a chunky sweater, and when the weather starts cooling down it’s time to get the most out of snuggling up. Personally, I’ve always had a [...]
