An Evening with TOPSHOP

During NYFW, I spent an evening down in Soho to host the amazing TOPSHOP event! It’s always been one of those stores I HAVE to take my friends to. 3 stories high, and full of super hot clothes, it’s pretty amazing. With TOPSHOP, I got to make my top selects from the store and meet a lot of my readers who were in town for fashion week. Guests got to enjoy yummy treats, drinks, and get a bit pampers by the team over at Arrojo salon. Going through the store, I couldn’t stop looking at the new skinny jeans. The velvet floral skinny jean really caught my eye. Paired with a classic knit sweater, and I was good to go. Most importantly, I was really happy that my sister, Dylana, who was in town along with my favorite east coasters, Claire and Bonnie! It’s always a good time with these girls, especially on a a sugar high! The s’mores and the ginger mocktails were addicting. Many thanks to everyone who came out! So crazy to get to meet readers in person, but always a joy 🙂

Threadsence: Musical Muse

Photographed by Vu at Threadsence, Styled by Liz of Late Afternoon

I was given the wonderful opportunity to work with one of my favorite online shops, Threadsence. They have the most wonderful team and I feel lucky to have them as friends! Their lookbooks are always so dreamy and beautiful, and so when I heard they wanted to feature me as their “Musical Muse,”I couldn’t refuse. As most of you know, I’ve been singing my entire and life, and to have Threadsence want to show that side of me feels amazing. In their studio, we recorded 2 different songs. Right now, only part 1 of our acoustic session is out. Part 2 will be up next week! Along with our acoustic session, we did a very rock n’ roll based photoshoot! All styled by Liz of Late Afternoon, we portrayed 3 of my favorite musical artists: Courtney Love, Florence Welch, and Stevie Nicks. We went a little crazy towards the end of the shoot and smeared my lipstick and tousled my hair. I’m really digging the looks! Enjoy my singing performance, and check out Threadsence.com to see the entire lookbook!! And stay tuned for the second video! I LOVE YOU THREADSENCE.

Red and Beige

(INC sweater, Calvin Klein skirt from La Bella Vintage, Vintage belt, Coach bag and shoes)

Right now I am obsessed with the combination of red and beige. They just compliment each other perfectly! Here I am snapped just outside my apartment. It’s now mid-fashion week and I’m already exhausted! I woke up at about 6am to attend an early breakfast with Vogue and Anna Della Russo over at the Conde Nast building. There, I picked up this gorgeous INC sweater! I loved it so much I threw it on the moment I came home. Paired it with one of my new treasures, this vintage Calvin Klein skirt. It was a gift from my super sweet reader Ashley of the Etsy store, La Bella Vintage! She emailed me about it saying that it’s something that reminded her of me and of course, the moment I received it, fell in love. The girl knows her stuff! Now her vintage shop is one of my go-to online shopping destinations! My purse and bag are by Coach. The pop of red on the soft leather is stunning. I couldn’t take my eyes off of it in the store! So there you have it, how I’ve worked one of the hottest color combinations known to man 🙂
