Some shots of our model, Lauren Ascher, on top of our roof with the Lex Shoulder Bag and the Kent Satchel. Shot with my 35mm Canon AE-1 in black and white... grainy and hazy images in which time stands still

Austrian Inspired

Ever since we were the Von Trapp family from the Sound of Music for Halloween (I was Leisl) I've been drawn to the Austrian look... a little lederhosen, muted green palette with pops of red and white, intricate floral embroidery, and maybe top it all off with a peasant hat... Reminds me of a much much simpler time...

Here was our interpretation this Halloween... we're missing Maria

11.06.12

The time has come to exercise your right as a member of this democracy and vote! I hope that this election our voters are informed and blind to the extremely biased news media. I guess a girl can dream...

As Teddy Roosevelt once said, "A vote is like a rifle: its usefulness depends upon the character of the user." And Mr. Roosevelt, apparently celebrity endorsements

Post Hurricane

After taking a week off and arriving back to NYC, I was greeted by un welcomed Sandy. She definitely put a halt on blogging but we're back and we've got the power! Happy Monday!

PV

Just some inspiration for my upcoming Mexico trip... Be back in a week!

Coeur Show

It's day 3 at Coeur! It's been such a productive show but we're ready for some r & r in Puerto Vallerta!

Trunks Trunks Trunks

I fell in love with antique trunks when I went to the Paris flea market for the first time at 16. Louis Vuitton and Goyard still make the same trunks they made almost 200 years ago, but the older they are the more character they have. Not only are trunks useful in an apartment setting (they hold all of my handbags), they add personality to any room. And isn't there something autumn-esque about a weathered trunk?

Halloween Costume Inspiration

It's getting to be that time of year again-- where ladies wear ill fitting polyester dresses and the men wear some "I think I'm hilarious" pervy getup... oh Halloween!!! Here's my inspiration for this years holiday, no polyester allowed.

Fall Transition: Stripes

Ah yes...  the first day Fall feels like Fall...  the first cold day of the season... I was realizing this today at lunch at Balthazar bundled up in scarves and hats sipping French onion soup (the cheese doesn't count when it's in soup form). The time has come to put away the cottons and linens and transition into the Fall wools and cashmeres and leathers. Finally! Surprisingly, your Summer stripes can transition you from Summer to Fall with ease... just pair with a darker pant and maybe driving gloves or a military jacket and viola! Stay warm, ya'll!

Paris in the Springtime

Ahhh Fashion Week *MONTH* is finally over, ending with my favorite... Paris. I was really into the strapless dresses, the intricate wovens, and the tailored pieces. A la prochaine, Paris!

Texas Toast

Off to Dallas for the weekend! In the mean time, here's a lovely western-inspired Isabel Marant look from Fall '12. Ciao!

Hello Moto

The perfect piece that gives you an instant edge, that has the ability to take you from day to night, that smiles at you when you walk into the room ... the motorcycle jacket (preferably in leather). It's one of those timeless pieces that has carried over from the 50's, the 80's and especially today. I have my eye on this Acne number with the bright-blue shearling collar  ... I wish it was Christmas already.

Milan S/S '13 : Favorite Looks

The Milan Spring looks I was drawn to were predominantly dainty and feminine with a lighter-than-air energy. My favorite looks weren't etherial in their daintiness, rather, they exuded power from their delicate fabrication and complex construction.

London S/S '13: Favorite Looks

My favorite looks from the collections shown during London's Fashion Week are definitely in sync with my favorite looks shown during New York's. I was drawn to structured, clean and tailored looks in cold palettes which seem to be very menswear inspired.

Copper Accents

Really into copper accents for the home right now, a bit of copper can liven up even the most muted spaces...

Shopping List: Slippers

definitely don't mean the kind you wear with sweatpants or whatever other abominable lounge wear you wear scuttling around your house... (I spent most of freshman year in sweatpants so I know what I'm talking about)

NY S/S 13: Favorite Looks

To make a big generalization (but I'm kind of right) NY Fashion Week was very print heavy, sporty, and ladylike. I was drawn more to the feminine street looks which were highly textured and dynamic with subtle detailing in construction. I couldn't resist throwing in this stunning Marchesa dress which has to be my favorite piece from all of the shows in NY.
