Happy Sunday everyone!

It's a gloomy day here in NYC, but i'm on my way to Pop Souk being held at the Biergartens at the Standard Hotel in the Meatpacking! Cant wait to see what the downtown collective has in store for everyone this year! This is usually my favorite pre-kick off event of the summer, but you can't really tell with it being 50 degrees, and overcast with rain! 

Wore this outfit yesterday to grab lunch with a friend in Soho. I love incorporating lots of texture into my outfits. The lace, under the mesh top, under the leather gives such a nice layering effect. As far as i'm concerned, these are the most comfortable pants i've ever worn. You can wear them high waisted with a belt, or sag them around your hips to give you more of a casual kind of look! I obviously took the easier route for a day on the go, but still managing to stay chic on a daily basis in NYC is pretty easy thanks to having a wardrobe full of functional seperates!

Ravin' at the House of Versace

These were some of the highlights from the punky, club kiddish J.W. Anderson x Versus Versace collection that launched last night here in NYC! This wasn't a collaboration I was expecting, but ever since the haus revealed a month ago about it's existence...I was SO READY. 

As per usual, JW delivers with all his design duos. It was bold and in your face (which was a breath of fresh air)! Donatella confesses to making fashion fun again! Imagine taking a time warp to some dingy London warehouse rave in the early 90's because thats where this goes - she emphasized on bare midriffs, slashed cut-out dresses, loud electric hues, androgynous unisex details, and eclectic rebellious branding to match her new fashionable prodigy.

I was at the after party at Lexington Avenue Armory taking in all the amazingness that was unfolding in front of me. Live installations featuring the latest looks, LIVE STREAMING for the virtual Versace world, high energy performances from Grimes, Angel Haze, and Dead Sara, and many familiar NYC personalities and high fashion gaunts trolling around to the beat of the new Versace vision! Can't wait to see how this pans out!

GET INTO THE LOOKS, HERE!

Is JW the new Gianni? Like Alexander Wang the new Cristobal? Like Raf Simons the new Galliano?

We'll wait and see!

WE FINALLY HAD OUR FIRST LEGITIMATE WARM DAY IN NYC SINCE SEPTEMBER!!!!! I'm so excited, I can't handle it. I almost forgot what the sun was, days just lingered by. So of course, my body perceived a warm, breezy 77 as 95 degrees in the dry heat! I just couldn't wait any longer. I was so ready to put some of my white staples for spring to use since they've been waiting patiently in my closet for a little air!

Put together this casual, fun little number for galavanting around the city and taking in the beauty of everything! A crisp, all white look is so clean and fresh after all those layers i've been piling on during the cold months. The perfect backdrop was some local Brooklyn street art by my house!
 I LOVE SPRING IN NYC. The energy in the city is so amazing, it's like it comes alive again after a long winter hibernation! Soaking up the NY for a bit longer..

Catching a flight south tomorrow! 

Going on a month cross country tour like I do every summer to see friends and family!

For the love of stripes

Caught up with friends over lunch and a little shopping in Union Square over the weekend. The weather was beautiful, and i'm finally beginning to re-adapt myself to single layers. I wanted to FINALLY show my latest shoe indulgence off a bit! ;) I got the Calvin Klein "Isabella" suede ankle boots. They were comfortable enough to endure the city streets all day long, so they're already perfect in my book. Add to that a beautiful shape (feauring a curved heel) + a deep shade of magenta for color, and you've got the key ingredients to my new little ladies! Slowly prepping for all the insanity thats about to occur. With moving out of my apt this week in Brooklyn, and packing for 5 weeks with 4 cities of travel on the agenda..idk how i'm going to fit it into 2 big suitcases. 

DECISIONS, DECISIONS!

Giving a little boho chic earlier this week to run some errands and have lunch with a friend in the East Village. It was the perfect day to play with a wide leg pant/high waisted belt number. I think every person should own a "go to" pair of jeans for those days when you dont have time to perfect a look and 2 seconds later you're OUT THE DOOR. I LOVE this metallic, obnoxiously studded Versace belt. Donatella sure does know how to turn gaudy ideas into must have luxury items...GENIUS.

Now about my bottom half- I dont experiment much with denim, but if I do, know that I love them- because there is only room for rotating casual staples in my tiny, almost not worth mentioning New York closet. Cant wait to have an apt for my clothes like ADR. She's doing it right.

Re-Works

(Wearing: Rag & Bone thermal, OAK beanie, Zara loafers, & vintage leather shorts)

I've taken a few weeks off from blogging and life in general to collect myself and figure out my next direction! I'm also re-designing the blog creatively and artistically for a brand new look/feel. I appreciate all the support through this transition, and can't wait for what the future has in store for me!

Stay tuned!

COMING SOON...

CRIMES OF FASHION 2.0!
