Right now I am...

Is it just me or is anyone else experiencing a serious case of 'post fashion week exhaustion'? I tried to get a picture of me in my current state but I think I just look slightly crazy. Either way, I do not think all of the Balthazar or Nespresso soy lattes in the world could give me the chemical boost needed to get me back to normal (although I do appreciate them!). This exhaustion could also in part by the design process/publishing of our latest issue (which if you haven't read yet then you seriously should, there are so many lovely articles and photographs!). I guess I just need a couple of days to rest, but with all that is going on in the city and with all of the planning for the upcoming issues who has the time to get completely rested? I do not think anyone in this city ever actually is completely rested anyways, I mean after all, this isn't LA (although I would enjoy being their right now quite a bit). Time to get ready to head over to the east side, we've got some brain storming to do! I hope everyone is having a good weekend! Hugs!

Get The Shot or Get Shot at NYFW

As is to be expected, there were roaming hoards of photographers everywhere, so I pose this question to you. Who wore the "mad swam of photographers" look better, those inside or out? We have to go with the outsiders. They were feisty. As a bonus, here is what Lincoln Center looks like as you approach it from the street.

Today I Wore

This morning Jordan and I went up to Lincoln Center where we were lucky enough to see the BCBG Max Azria presentation. We will be posting more pictures from inside the show as well as some street style shots soon. For now though, we leave you an outfit post. This is what I wore to the show. I decided to wear a feminine lavender BCBG dress complete with frills and a shear back, a silhouette that I'm not accustomed to wearing. I generally prefer to wear more minimalist clothing, but for this special occasion I figured I'd slip out of my routine. To keep my legs warm I wore a pair of black thigh highs from Agent Provocateur (a gift from Jordan), and grey fur boot covers over my black Opening Ceremony suede lace up ankle boots. To make it the look a little more cohesive feeling, I wore my leather vest from Juicy Couture that I've been into lately. To finish it off, I wore bracelets from David Yurman, John Hardy, and my new buckle bangle from Michael Kors (an early Valentine's day gift from Jordan).

#JBrandIFB at #IFBcon

At the J Brand booth (#JBrandIFB) at #IFBcon I got the chance to style an outfit using pieces from their new ready-to-wear collection. It was my first time seeing it in person and of course I was impressed. J Brand is on to something here! According to J Brand's facebook page I am "wearing the Faithfull Leather Jacket, Birkin Tank, and Chrissie Slim Trouser."

Before we get too far away from New York Fashion Week, I have to make sure to post some pictures that we took in and outside of Lincoln Center. Oh and the bird in the first picture is real! I hope everyone had an amazing weekend! Later!

Hervé Léger Spring 2012

This afternoon Jordan and I went to see the Hervé Léger by Max Azria Spring 2012 show. The show was started with Salamander, a dark hypnotic and ethereal track from Zomby's new LP Dedication, which mirrored the mood of the collection. Hervé Léger's signature body-con bandage style dresses, which are known for their femininity and elegance, were taken to a new level this season: a new level of sexy. Tall beautiful models drifting whimsically in well stitched dresses, most baring cut outs, garments made out of straps of leather, fringe, and to finish it details of silver and gold. The collection also had other pieces including a beautiful little jacket and a cut out bathing suit.

What stuck with me most were the garments made out of straps of leather. They remind me of a poster designed by Dutch Graphic designer Wim Crouwel for an exhibition featuring the work of French painter, sculptor, and filmmaker Fernand Léger. Crouwel designed the word Leger on the poster to be reminiscent of the artist's work.

Thank you to Michael and Cliff for inviting us! We love you both!
