GOOD GIRL VELVET FATALE COLLECTOR EDITION BY CAROLINA HERRERA

Everyone deserves a little glamour in their lives. For me, it always starts with fragrance. The Good Girl Velvet Fatale Collector Edition fragrance by Carolina Herrera brings out this femme fatale character from within me. This femme fatale is a woman who is mysterious and seductive, always lounging amongst extravagant decor, and dressed in the most luxurious gowns. For who? For herself mostly. Because she can. And because she believes in the freedom of self expression. The beautiful thing about this fragrance is that it will reveal both your good girl side, and your bad girl side. The good girl in me loves the romantic tuberose and jasmine sambac notes, while the bad girl side in me loves the cocoa and roasted tonka bean notes. As Carolina Herrera describes it, it’s a “weapon of seduction.” Whether it be a night in to roll around the house in a ballgown, or preparing for an evening in an embellished mini dress and high slit for a night out, I always lean to Good Girl Velvet Fatale on my vanity. I find it’s sexy gold heel totally provocative but in the best possible way. It’s both extreme and subtle at the same time, and I think that is how every woman is in her core. To me, it represents passion, love, sensuality, and lethal charisma. It represents the woman who is both extravagant but also hidden in mystery, and these are the reasons why everyone wants to know who she is. But she will always be that intriguing secret in the back of everyone’s minds. Now that’s a story to tell.

SHOES THAT ARE GOOD FOR YOUR BODY | FITFLOP

Runway Luxe Over The Knee Boot by FitFlop 

It’s official. They actually do exist! Shoes that are good for your body. Here are 3 of my favorite styles from FitFlop. FitFlop is based in the UK, and each technology is developed using biomechanically engineered principles. FitFlop has studied the human body, how it moves, and why. Each technology is tested at the Human Performance Lab in Calgary, the world’s leading biomechanics research centre, focusing on muscle activity, pressure diffusion, and body alignment. The science behind each FitFlop shoe is made to make you feel comfortable from the moment you put them on, until the moment you finish wearing them. I’m always so intrigued by the science that the brand puts into their designs. They focus on combining all elements of comfort with designs that feel timeless, but also on trend for the season. It’s the best balance in a shoe! FitFlop makes me want to get up and going each morning. They feel so incredible on. I’m going to walk you through 3 incredible new FitFlop shoes that I can’t stop wearing.

Right now, I’m in love with this over-the-knee sneaker. They work so well with a black midi skirt and oversize plaid coat. Dylana and I wear an ankle boot almost every day, so the Chai Classic Chelsea Boot and Mukluk Shorty II are perfect with an easy and sleek dress and pair of tights. I also want the cozy felt slippers featured here in every single color. I wear them in my house, and on my roof deck all the time, mostly paired with a cashmere jumpsuit and beanie. This from head to toe is my weekend uniform. Fall and winter just got a whole lot cozier and more chic thanks to my friends at FitFlop.

SACAI AT PARIS FASHION WEEK

Sweater: Sacai. Skirt: Sacai. Bag: YSL. Shoes: Lena Erziak. Earrings: Astley Clarke

I had just landed in Paris for Paris Fashion Week, and on the very last day. This happens to me sometimes when work in NY keeps me in the city, and then suddenly something comes up in Paris and voila, surprise appearance! I was in town with the dreamy Cartier team for a super special project, but luckily, I flew in just in time for my favorite shows of the season, Sacai. Landing in Paris was like feeling fall again for the very first time. The cold slapped me across the face. It is indeed turtleneck season. I quickly checked into Hotel de Crillon (it’s one of my favorite places to stay in Paris), before slipping into this stunning Sacai look, straight off the runway. How incredible is this knit with ruffle detail, and a waist best? The pleated skirt is also just spectacular. I can always count on Sacai to immediately do a fresh take on the classics. The little details are so interesting and thoughtful. I look closely at each piece, and just go wow. I completed the look with a feathered heel by Lena Erziak and a perfect YSL pop of red bag. In Paris, I happen to only wear the best of the best.

Meet your new fashion hero: the Stuart Weitzman SW-612 sneaker

The Stuart Weitzman SW- 612 sneaker is sleek, sports-chic, and what I’m wearing with just about everything. It’s my fashion hero in that I reach to them non-stop, especially on the weekends in cozy, color-blocked outfits. With fall and all the rain we’ve been having, I’m feeling a clean slate. The means refreshing and becoming a minimalist with my closet. I may really take on that Scandinavian style and mindset. The SW-612 feel minimal and completely fresh. They are zero fuss, and 100% comfortable chic. The way they move and bend makes me think I can even bring them to my next dance class. I think you’ve just found your new sneaker must-have right? I love them in black, but I’m eyeing them in Cabernet and Dovetail Blue grey. Which color is your favorite?
