Fall Jacket Weather | Outfits

fashion blogger outfit forever 21 military inspired jacket, ikat dress and tall boots

Dear Christine,

It can no longer be avoided– fall jacket weather is definitely here to stay. I’m not totally giving in to winter yet, though. No tights until December! I’ll have made it three years in a row if I make it to December without wearing tights this year.

I’m going for it. It held in the 60s and 70s until recently, so hopefully it won’t be freezing immediately. If not, I’ll just have to wear… pants. Shocking, I know. …

Mostly Monochrome Purple at the MoMA | Outfits

fashion blogger purple outfit posing at the moma andy warhol cow wallpaper

Dear Mia,

Apparently I’m having a purple moment, too. I hear it’s currently going around, at least among bloggers. I expect to see a lot of purple this fall (hello Zang Toi F/W 2013), but still think that blue will be the season’s it color.

This photo was taken in front of the Andy Warhol Cow Wallpaper at the MoMA Education and Research Building. I really haven’t been to the MoMA in a long time and forgot how much I like the modern minimalism. It’s very soothing to the eye.

Is Someone Behind Me?


Dear Kelsey,

Ahh the perks of being a style blogger. Fashion week, fun events, millions of free nail polishes… constant paranoia that someone’s in your frame. All in a good day’s work.

This offensively bright ensemble is what I ended up wearing to brunch at Punch. More than a year later and I’m still trying to break in these Pour La Victoire flats. I love how they look but they’re very tough on my feet.

Rafael Cennamo Fall 2013 | New York Fashion Week


Everything was aglitter at Rafael Cennamo F/W 2013. Having also seen the spring collection, I thought that the fall collection was a good next step forward. This one appeared better cut to my eye, as well as somehow more wearable than the last without losing any of the drama and flair I associate with the brand.

Letterbox By Misha Fall 2013 | New York Fashion Week


I’ve been seeing a lot of collections with strong vintage influences this season (though just as many futuristic ones, too). Sweet, pretty Letterbox By Misha Fall 2013 had a very soft elegance and a little bit of a 1950s feel. I could definitely see this collection being picked up by Anthropologie.

Monika Chiang F/W 2013 | New York Fashion Week


I walked into Monika Chiang expecting a collection with a unique edgy/preppy twist, but I what I got was even better. The hair and makeup were obvious nods at 80s glam rock, and overall there was a luxe, elegant 70s and 80s vibe carried throughout the collection.

New Year in the Sparkling Archway


Dear Christine,

Another day, another year… they really do seem to fly away faster with each passing year. I spent the day wandering the old neighborhood with my roommate, dreaming of apartments on the border of the West Village and Chelsea, and walked by my house. I tried to go to Magnolia for a New Year’s cupcake but the line was out the door and around the block. I didn’t want one quite that much.

Snowfall


Dear Katha,

Well it’s certainly been cold and windy here lately. Winter is setting in. There’s also been a bit of snow, which you probably know that I love. All those winter sports as a child… I should never have stopped figure skating. That was one of my favorites.

Von Vonni was kind enough to send me this wintry patterned floral dress with long sleeves, which I just adore. I think that long sleeves are so underused on dresses.
