Tales of Fashion Week A/W14
"It seems fashion week is here. I say it seems as I’m in full denial of thinking about the event; 1, too much excitement, and 2, the guaranteed “what do I wear to the shows” morning of migraine panic attacks. This year there are a few things I plan on doing differently. Firstly, instead of dressing up, I plan on channeling this lost homeless person look. It starts with tousled just woke up didn’t do anything Afro hair, think black Alexa Chung. Then I proceed in wearing nothing that touches my body at all; Hanes tee, harem pants, and ends with one expensive thing. I’m really relying on that one expensive thing to throw everyone off. I want people to think that I just accidently wandered into the tents from a shelter. Then they catch my Miu Miu sunnies hanging off a stained tee, and just don’t know what to think. There’s nothing I enjoy more than a confused P.R. girl wondering who and how. Another thing that I will do differently this year is I will smell like food; I will smell like that because I will have just eaten. I will be full in Bryant Park! I repeat I will be full in BRYANT PARK! This is a change as I make my transition from the runways to the audience. I can’t tell you how excited I am to have a nice sandwich before I enter the tent, hell, I might even bring snacks! Snacks also double as ammo when a model messes up, something as innocent as goldfish can be easily whipped onto the catwalk to reprimand unwarranted mistakes, “bad model, bad model.” Think Elie Saabe Couture Show tumble in Paris this season, which merits a tossed lunchbox. Tres tragic for her, here’s the link if you missed the stumble #sorrynotsorry

Wildfox Sweatshirt I Need A Drink NYFW FW 2014 collection
Day 1 Kicked off with the Lisa Perry Presentation at her storefront on Madison Ave. Two rows of benches framed the in store runway and makeshift press pit. Models strutted out in pairs of 4, well, all models but one, who looked like she’s was literally afraid to walk a normal pace, so slowly inched her way down the short catwalk. The crowd consisted of mostly middle-aged Upper East Side housewife’s, so I was expecting the clothing to follow suite with the blandness of the audience. I was pleasantly surprised when Lisa Perry’s first look was strong structured fabric, feminine detail, and a mixture of metallic boxy shapes. I’m so down with the concept of sexiness that has nothing to do with clothing being at all fitted. Her color palette was a range of black and whites, greens, and silver metallic that carried through from the short frock dresses, to the strapless black boxy show stopping last look. The dress was literally perfect, although, anything looks good on a size 0 5 foot 10’ model, I'm not so sure how much I would love the clothes for the older age group of woman that can actually afford them.
I spent my time in between these shows eating stuff, drinking stuff, eating more stuff.

The Air
The first time I passed Linda Rodin on 18th and 7th Ave still remains so vivid in my memory. She was wearing a Canadian tuxedo, walking her grey standard poodle I know now as Winky, and wearing round Miu Miu sunglasses. We both were wearing the same shades, and I remember us both stopping for a second to look at each other. It was a strange moment because I had no idea who she was, but her energy and outfit were so strong, that I knew she must have an interesting story. We smiled at each other, and kept walking. The Commons in Chelsea was across the street from my studio apartment, so I would go there before meetings to grab coffee, and chat with the owners. Linda and I would frequently pass each other on the street. I remember thinking that she was such a soul, her beauty and grace were undeniable, and without knowing much about her, she became an unknown muse, looking forward to the next time we would pass each other, and exchange the knowing fashion smiles. In recent months Linda Rodin has become the It woman on graceful aging and beauty, as the founder of Rodin Cosmetics, (sold on Net-a-porter.com and at other luxury retailers). Wanting to know more and more about her, I began researching her back story, to find that she has lived many lives as a past magazine editor, stylist, model, and store owner to name a few. This Air speaks to inspiration on so many levels. I see myself in Linda, having a similar past in fashion, and continuing to grow myself on so many different fronts of the industry. She is a true inspiration of style and age, and will continue to be someone that I look to for inspiration for life in this moment and the future.xxxC

Fancy Toast
2 Eggs, 1 Cup of Spinich, 3 Cherrie Tomatos, 2 Slices of Extra Sharp Cheddar Cheese, 2 Slices of Rye Bead, pinch of spicy salt, pinch of pepper! ... YUM
My mother is a huge fan of cast iron cooking, and over the years has collected quite a few beautiful pans that are so special to our family. When I first moved to my old studio in Chelsea, and started dating my current serious boyfriend, I remember cooking for him in one of my moms tiny cast iron pans that she had gifted to me in the move. We did not know each other very well at that point, and I remember him saying, "thats a nice egg pan you got there, cast iron, fancy pan, I like that." It was weird. As our relationship unfolded, he told me stories of his mom only cooking in cast iron as well, and him being secretly impressed that i had know about the magic cooking tool. So todays Air is fancy toast cast iron style, and the happiness of home.

I think a winter white knit is a really romantic way to hold onto summer, while being practical for the changing seasons. Foxx + Walsh is a new brand, with its last collection having been inspired by the beach, I love how versatile the pieces are. I styled mine with a pair of Redun denim jeans, leather Alexander Wang Bra, and this awesome knit by Foxx + Walsh! Check out how others style their winter wardrobe here! xxx
