NYFW was such a whirlwind. It consisted of super early mornings, and really late nights between all of the shows and photoshoots. But let’s not forget the after-parties. I’m talking special performances like Travis Scott and Gucci Mane, lines out the door, and rosé literally pouring out of the water fountains. Only in NYC, I guess! It feels amazing to finally wake up from a proper night’s sleep. But now, it’s time to press REWIND and sashay through through the best of the week…like this designer look, all from Saks. They call it #SaksRunway. A Balenciaga silver knit, stunning Givenchy pants, Proenza Schouler handbag, and the most wild Gucci platform shoes. VA-VA-VOOM. You know I’m a huge fan of anything that glitters and sparkles. I took this look to my Saks and WWD Dimension panel at the Samsung lounge, where we spoke about how fashion and technology meet, and of course, went over all of the hottest trends out there at the moment, including sparkle and shine. We had a packed house in the crowd, but I saw a few familiar faces in the distance, making all the nerves go away. The last thing I wanted to do was trip in front of everyone with my 4 inch heels…

I was in London when I was strolling through Dover Street Market for the first time and immediately, I gravitated towards a perfect rack filled with pinks and reds. Puffed sleeves. Beads hanging from sheer skirts. Florals. It was like out of an Alice in Wonderland book. I picked up a fluffy little frock and saw it was Simone Rocha. Held it up in front of me by the mirror and did a little twirl. A love was born! I hadn’t seen anything so delicate and beautiful in a while. Every detail like a little work of art, that you pick it up and just examine every stitch. That’s what I love most about London. The shopping. Their appreciation for fashion as art. Quirky finds that are so unexpected. I actually found this bold red number in my size at Saks Fifth Avenue. Sure it’s a dress you can wear to the Met Gala, but for an evening out with friends, go with a perfect white leather sneaker. Some things are meant to make you feel special.
