W Concept Fall/Winter ’13 Lookbook shot by Ryan Yoon

W Concept has literally been my latest obsession. When they asked me to model their latest lookbook, I jumped at the opportunity! I’ve followed their store long before our shoot, and I already knew that they carried just about every brand I’d ever wear. Just discovering now that they have storefronts all over the world, carrying everything from Saint Laurent to Current/Elliot to Free People! A timeless piece for every type girl. Here, we shot the Fall/Winter coat story. Super soft wools in every single shade, perfect to snuggle against during our chilly shoot down in DUMBO, Brooklyn. I could have taken all of these pieces home, next to the fuzzy sweaters and amazing hats. I like how with the smokey eye, the super straight hair and blunt bangs, it’s a bit of the more cleaned up version of my style. Put-together and oh, so effortless. 

SHOP the lookbook here, and read my interview! I love you W Concept!

I can already see the snow falling from my window…and it’s not even winter yet! The wind’s been howling all weekend, that I could almost feel it coming. My only wind breaker happened to be this H&M wool vest. So long and heavy-duty, it nearly hits the floor. A fuzzy lemon sweater and a good trouser really lit up my roof…with the flowers and leaves twirling all around me. But best of all? I’m addicted to the beat-up white leather sneaker. This travel shoe, made in Milan by the designer, Eduardo, of the brand, VEESHOO. They came as a little surprise from my lads at TWELV magazine, and honestly, I fell in love with these cushion-y badboys. I’ve got them now in two colors…to zip right off when I’m on the plane.

My next adventures? CALIFORNIA! I’ll be working this week in Huntington Beach, SURF CITY, on a very special shoot. Till then, follow my Instagram for updates. I’ve got a plane to catch on this snow day!

This was a long lost look shot during NYFW, and somehow, I don’t really know how I missed it! Also, one of my favorites. I’d just come back from working in Seattle, and pulled out the first thing I could find…still jetlagged, and so not ready for a full week of shows. My hair, still not even fully brushed. Nothing really beats a washed blue trench, and soft-to-the-touch beige hat paired with the perfect LBD! With it’s loosely tied neckline and super-stretch, it’s got that 90’s vibe. So simple of a look, only complete with a pumpkin RED lip (can you believe it’s nearly Thanksgiving?!) and the perfect black boot! YEP, our STUDDED CHLOE boot is BACK with a bang! The wrap-around hardware just the icing on the cake!

Though it’s Veteran’s Day, both my boyfriend and I are still back to work…hoping to take the day slooooow. My eyes, barely able to open. I’ll be squeezing in time to throw my things in a suitcase taking off for my early flight to LA tomorrow. I’m honestly so, so excited to work in California this week! Don’t think I’ll be needing my heavy coat this time around…

The striped tee was stolen from my boyfriend, and the cap, shared with my sister. Super simple days where all you want is that slept-in striped tee, a good pair of jeans, and barely there make-up. The Birkin bit of my style. Best for days in Paris…climbing up the steps to Montmarte, one of my favorite places on Earth, overlooking a cloudy sky. Sounds of the harp forcing me to stay. Over the summer, I came back from Paris feeling refreshed…realizing I could live out of suitcase of basic little mini dresses, one pair of jeans, and a few tee shirts. Finding joy in the tiniest of things…the buzz from our rosé to the salty buttered bread on our table! Currently dreaming up my next escape minus the jet-lag. Here I’m snapped up in Brooklyn just over a month ago, visiting Dylana’s abode, still inspired by a summer in France. When the train stopped working, and we had to walk our way home. A light lace-up sneaker the only way to go.
