NYFW Day Six

Wearing: Sass and Bide silk trench, Holding Horses boots, HM pants, sheer Viktoria and Woods top and gold plated necklace.


I mentioned previously about how impossible it was to get a decent outfit post from NYFW- but last night I stumbled across this photo. Shot by the amazing Lee Oliveira whose comforting smile and camera always seem to pop up in different cities, I highly recommend you have a peek at his inspirational street style blog here. I have no idea how he managed to get such a calm and collected shot of me when in reality, running across the road late to the Lincoln Centre I was anything but.

I happily admit this Sass and Bide trench is one of my key outfit repeaters- it is too versatile not to be. Over a short frock or skirt, pants or potentially nothing (jokes) it simply brings any outfit to life when this sleek, stone silk trails behind you.

Gretchen Jones NYFW

Brooklyn based designer Gretchen Jones' showed her Spring 2012 collection Horses, which she rightfully described as "simultaneously minimal and bohemian, romantic and modern, feminine and architectural". Bright patterned flowing lengths contrasted with the neutral, minimalistic button downs that were in line up along the county jail inspired presentation.

Cut 25 NYFW

Cut 25 is Yigal Azrouel's diffusion line aimed for a playful, young audience. I had a private preview of the collection, that was inspired by 80's surf culture, before the show at NYFW. I was introduced to electric colours, shapely silhouettes with a sporty aesthetic that was complimented by a collaboration with Frye shoes.

NYFW Day Six

One of my many quite overwhelming, pinch worthy moments of NYFW was sitting front row at the Oscar de la Renta show. The entire collection was stunning and in a complete league of its own. Perfectly executed old world elegance and opulence, yet paired down with rich colours and a hint of flower child. I'm not really one of many words but I think if you could see my face for that entire night, you would see how happy I was. Show footage coming shortly!

Between mid week fashion week outfit woes, with more casual morning presentations straight to formal front row runway's at night, this black lace dress was the perfect versatile piece; and I have to pass on the compliments it received to the beautiful Australian designer, Fleur Wood. Shots taken while on a fashion week induced high in Bryant Park.

Wearing: Fleur Wood lace insert dress, Super sunglasses, Asos handbag, YSL ring, Michael Kors watch, NMRKT bracelets, Zara boots.

J Crew NYFW

J Crew's runway debut at the Lincoln Centre may have been my favourite presentation of the entire week. The collection stayed true to the brand's preppy aesthetic, with saturated brights and quirky tailored pieces. I could see each and every piece having a space in my Spring wardrobe, my personal favourite being the sea green & blue matching pants ensemble.

NYFW Day Two

Wearing; Zara blazer, HM shirt, Isabel Marant shorts, 3.1 Phillip Lim bag and Witchery flats.

The second day of fashion week started off with a relaxing walk through Central Park. It is eery and surreal being in New York. I can’t quite explain but maybe due to it being a last minute trip that it hasn’t sunk in yet where I actually am. It is not how I perceived it to be like London; but to me more of a mix between Berlin, Bangkok and Paris. On steroids (and seemingly stuck in the 90’s). Especially with all of the police checks causing traffic chaos- I had to submit to walking over 44 blocks in the blazing heat. Thank goodness I didn’t wear heels that day! Though I could never complain about anything when in New York.
