I am so addicted to the new J BRAND jeans collection. This velvet red pair is just heaven. It slips right on perfectly, and the print, paired with a good rustic shoe, just makes me want to dance to The Stones all night long. The “Exile on Main Street” album in particular. Paired with the oversize J BRAND zip sweater, slightly puffed on the shoulders, I was just cozy enough to go without a jacket. You can’t go wrong with their current fall collection, and color palette, now available at all gorgeous BERGDORF GOODMAN stores. The burgundys, the “Luxe Sateen” grey, and “Photo Ready” black skinny jeans. I have them all, and they’re already my daily go-tos. I just ordered the luxurious blazer one size up, knowing that I’ll wear it just a teeny tiny bit oversize. With the leather detailing, it’s best with some black skinnies, and a white button-down. I’m digging the classics. I’ve just swapped the racks of my closet to the dark, neutrals. Just in time for fall!

I love a good cropped sweater that feels like a wetsuit at the beginning of fall. Neoprene is my friend…in a swimmy, a dress, anything! With a trench, some shredded jeans, and victorian clogs, I felt like the tallest chick in Bryant Park. Any type of heel always makes me taller than anyone walking in the crowds, and suddenly, everyone crossing the street is looking up at me. But I LOVE LOVE the park in fall. This day in particular felt like gloomy London. The little chairs, the white sandy floors, it all reminds me of NYFW back in the day, when it was so darn chic and Bryant really was the place to be and be seen. I miss all of those street shots, pinned to my walls back in my hometown of LA. Anyways, I had just left the factory and meetings, and finally had a chance to plop down and stare up into the trees. With so much work, my pals and I have been using our days off going to gigs to dance the night away before it gets way too cold to think of going out. This time? TAME IMPALA and The Flaming Lips! With some rad VIP tickets overlooking the band, we found ourselves headbanging next to Alexa Chung, before I had to actually throw off my clogs and hat to really let loose, flailing my arms above the crowd.

I was that stripe-y sparkle-y thing running around Times Square after a long day’s work. I feel I spend way more time now in the Garment District than anywhere else. It’s crazy. The streets are constantly packed around 5pm with a flood of designers and people I’ve worked with, rushing through the streets off Fashion Avenue and into Bryant Park. This time, I was like “you know what, let’s go to Times Square when we’re off work.” YESSSSSSS, this place is absolutely nuts! I’m constantly being shoved a little to the side as I’m walking and staring up rather than straight in front of me, eventually grabbing on my sister’s arm in fear of losing her. The lights, the flashing advertisements blinding you the moment you step outside, the naked cowboy. It’s fun to take in why so many people come and visit our city. Suddenly it’s like New York City is just a playground for everyone else in the world. Amongst the tourists, the cameras, and accents, we found ourselves clutching our bags as we huddled through the sidewalks, trying to finally escape for home back downtown. I have to admit, this place is the best when you’re driving through the neon lights at night…and in the safety of your own car hehe.

I can’t believe I still have more from fashion week to show you. Is it really the first time I’m showing our STUDDED JETT boot?! Insane. I’ve got loads to catch up on, I guess. If only there were more hours in the day. But yes, we took our classic Modern Vice JETT boot, and added gold and silver studs…on the toes, and sides…giving this beauty a little more edge. They’ll be coming to many stores soon, so I’ll keep you posted! But gold is a color for fall, and I’m getting back into. Gold hardware, gold trimming. I took my military vest, and threw it over a striped mini. For fashion week, I tried to be minimal. There’s too much running from place to place to worry about what you’ve got on that morning. Well, for me anyways. There’s one show that I loved…All Saints. The wilted flowers, the boxy leather jackets, the silk slouched pants. It really was just about every piece you actually do need in you wardrobe, and in the rich hues of the season. Not overdone or contrived…but just what that classic  yet tough city babe should have as her staples. The space was incredible. A long brick loft, with high window ceilings. I’d take it as my home anyday. My pals and I, most of which were in town for just a few days, spent what felt like forever on those leather couches…taking a huge breather in the heart of Soho.
