CIROC TAKES NYFW

With the launch of Ciroc Pineapple, #TropicalLuxury was literally all that I had on my mind. Thank you to everyone who followed along during my Ciroc Instagram takeover! I love that this particular flavor stands for having that summer mindset all year round. It’s a bit sweet, but not too over-empowering. So refreshing. It’s about re-living what summer is all about. Freedom, spontaneity, and discovering beauty all around you. 
Fashion Week is exactly that. I become mesmerized at every single show I went to. Falling into the mood of the clothes, the thump of the music. Tropical Luxury was everywhere. From the blue printed birds on Mara Hoffman‘s dresses to the pineapple cellphone cases I’ve seen everyone grasping onto en route to the shows. Each reminding me of heavenly summers on a hammock in Montauk or Miami. Shadowed palm trees against a blue sky at Yigal Azrouel. Animal prints and eclectic tropical beading at Libertine. Then to top it all off, there was the absolutely gorgeous fresh floral runway at Tommy Hilfiger. Every stomp of those star-studded boots a WIN, WIN in my book. 

Ciroc Pineapple is about that lifestyle… living in the moment, and with each little sip, taking you back to one of your favorite tropical memories… anytime of year. . I’m honestly a huge fan of fruity cocktails, and having a splash of Ciroc Pineapple has made it to the top of my list!

I’m so excited to share with you a final ROUND-UP from this season’s #TropicalLuxury. I cannot wait till Spring!

BRITISH WIT // LFW

London is my TOP, TOP place to visit. I don’t know why, but I’ve been madly in love with England before I’ve even been there years back. Maybe it’s the accents? Maybe it’s the gloom? Maybe it’s the rock n’ roll? But honestly, I love everything London brings. I try hardest to go during fashion week each season. Luckily, I had a shoot there right smack dab in the middle of fashion week. Couldn’t be a better excuse to see friends and catch some shows! So knowing I’d be in London for literally only 2 nights, I packed about 4 items. This blouse, a skirt, another shirt, and a pair of jeans. After all the years of overweight baggage fees, I’ve opted to go for a carry-on and nothing else. Packing toooo light is now my problem, but I basically just mixed and matched everything I had. Going for this ruched camo bomber jacket (it’s insane!) with some florals, and some leather. VIOLA. That’s me at Somerset House. Snapped by my favorite Brit/Scottish girl EVER: Jennifer of StyleEast! (See her image below walkin in some vintage trousers and trainers) I became friends with this babe years ago in NYC. Now, I never make a London visit without WhatsApping the heck out of her and all our friends.

Another amazing thing at Somerset House? The streetstyle. So. Many. Hot. People. Londoners have this easy way of dressing. Thrown together and cool. So of course I snapped away. I used most for my WhoWhatWear Instagram takeover (thanks for everyone who followed along!) Here’s more snapshots to add to the bunch!

HEAVY METAL // BCBGeneration x The Influence

Photographed for BCBGeneration x The Influence
Sneak a peek inside my latest shoot for BCBGeneration, now featured on The Influence. It was all about HEAVY METAL. Statement jewelry with cheeky sayings and intricate detailing. The “In Your Dreams” bracelet, and “LOVE” ring are bound to make the boys holler. I fell madly in love with their new fall collection as well. A houndstooth skirt and oversize fur vest. Giving the jewelry collection a downtown vibe. Who said you can’t ride a bike in heels?! Watch the film now on The Influence, and shop the shoot!

JUST OFF BOWERY

You’ll find me off St. Marks toying with the trinkets or tucked in the back of The Bowery Hotel in my favorite ripped pair of jeans and boots. Lately, I’ve been all about the Sorel Out n’ About lace-up boot. They’re made for a weekend adventuring, playing tourist in my own home. Hopping on citibike to citibike, racing down Freedman’s Alley with the boys.
Take a spin around my neighborhood, and how it’s inspired my looks now on NYMAG’S The Cut.
