London fashion week is off and running!

I can find no better way than to kick things off with that quintessential British brand, Burberry.   The highlight of the show was definitely the darling bowed belts.  Almost every look was finished with a nipped waist, a cute little bow belt, and dark tights.  So glad opaque tights are still in — I’m addicted to my black tights!

Here are my favorite looks from the show…

Want to get the look?  Here are some little inexpensive bow belts that will help do the trick.

I was so lucky to have shared my first fashion week with my family in tow.  Both my Mother and Grandmother accompanied me on my little adventure to New York City.  Being my first time in the Big Apple staying at the Waldorf Astoria was a must.  The history of this beautiful hotel is astonishing — I wish I’d had more time touring this historic building.

When I heard that Ladurée was opening it’s first US store in New York, I was overjoyed!  Recently I’ve fallen in love with macarons and have been dying to try one of their authentic french treats.  The store on the Upper East Side didn’t disappoint.

Throughout fashion week I was changing my outfits.  Here are a couple of my favorites.

Vintage Dior fur, Sea dress (currently loving this one,) Spanx tights, Prada heels, and Clare Vivier clutch.

J.Crew coat, vintage fur, Spanx tights, Alexander Wang ‘Morgan’ bag, and Zara heels.

Equipment pink top, vintage Lillie Rubin leather skirt, and Alexander McQueen bee ring.

Vintage fur, ASOS ponti pants, and Christian Louboutin decollete jazz heels.

Adele certainly avoided the dreaded sophomore slump with her second album “21.”  After last week’s Grammy presentation she took home six awards, with one being Album of the Year. And she looked damn good while accepting those awards in a beautiful sparkly custom Armani gown.

I’m SOOO excited to announce that I’m heading to New York City this week for the biggest fashion event of the year!  Stay tuned for plenty of pictures and updates from my trip.

Follow me on twitter and facebook for my take on fashion week. 

A big cozy sweater is like wearing a hug.  I love the weight of a thick sweater and how it wraps around your body.  This oversized sweater looks great with leggings or tights and if you’re short like me it can be a dress.  Even though it’s been a mild winter I will look for ANY excuse to wear this yummy sweater.

Wearing in Wonderland – Intermix Popcorn Knit Turtleneck Sweater, Dolce Vita ‘Jemma’ boots, H&M ring, Soo Ihn Kim Chain Wrap Around Earring, Clare Vivier fold over clutch

Title – “Because tonight” by The Besnard Lakes

Time for a bit of honesty….

I wore my coat as dress due to a fashion emergency.  Nothing like having to be somewhere in an hour and no clue what to wear.  I think it turned out well, and it certainly was easy enough!

This Gryphon coat would be great to have on hand. Just throw on tights, heels, and some statement jewelry and you’re out the door looking adorable in 5 minutes flat.

Here are some more options…

In the cool of the evening 
When everything is gettin’ 
kind of groovy
I call you up and ask you if you 
would you like to go with me 
and see a movie

First you say no 
you’ve got some plans for the night
And then you stop 
and say, all right
Love is kinda crazy 
with a spooky little boy like you

Wearing in Wonderland – H&M coat (worn as a dress), Christian Louboutin Decollete 100 jazz pumps, (similar) Tom Ford ‘Nico’ sunglasses, Swarovski ‘bella’ earrings, large silver ring from Peru, and a vintage feather clutch.

Last month I saw this spread in Elle Magazine and I couldn’t get over the eye makeup.  I want eyes like that!  Would you look at me strangely if I chose to walk around with a double cat eye?  Maybe I’ll just leave it to the models…

This spring will be full of color and I’m ready.

I like to stretch my wardrobe as far as I can. When I get a new piece of clothing I love to think of all the different the ways I can wear it.  This Limited sweater is pretty neutral, except for the bright yellow around the waist.  Such a great piece to take you into spring.

Wearing in Wonderland –  cardigan c/o The Limited, J.Crew skinny yellow jeans, Anthropologie tank, and Christian Louboutin ‘Twistochat’ heels.

Don’t forget the accessories…bracelets from India, Coach, and BaubleBar (similar) ring from House of Harlow 1960.

Look #3

Styled with – J.Crew chambray top,  J.Brand skinny jeans, J.Crew and vintage necklace, ASOS sunglasses, and Boutique 9 booties.

Are you dolls looking for forward to adding some color to your wardrobe?

Usually Friday means I post the latest and greatest fashion layout of the week, but I’ve decided to mix things up.  While on twitter last night I came across the new ad campaign for Oscar de la Renta… and it’s GORGEOUS.

Black and white with a splash of color – I’m in love!

Happy Friday, dolls.
