Pre Band-Aid

First day of New York Fashion Week, my feet were already sore from walking for a prolonged period of time in heels the night before so I had my heels in my bag and wore my boots to Lincoln Center. Before I was able to switch shoes, I was snapped by a few street style photographers and later on during the day, I fell face flat at the CVS pharmacy in these boots which I think was quite ironic. During the next few days, I either wore pants or a huge band aid.

Emphasizing on special details, Tory Burch's first runway show was a huge success and a show not to be missed. With Arizona Muse opening the runway with dainty music playing in the background, I felt like I was watching a Parisian movie full of young, fun, classy ladies on vacation. My personal favorite was the raffia trim jacket with the matching bejeweled top with the absolutely adorable bow kitten heels. I loved every one of the shoes that the models wore and even though I have no patience for golf, if I had those golf shoes I might just have to start playing golf.

I was also lucky enough to attend the opening of her Madison Avenue store the day before the runway and was blown away with all the great details and decor. The store is filled with color and prints and feels like your in the most stylish woman's town house. It's quite hard to go from one room to another because you spend so much time taking in all the great decor in one room only to be blown away by the next room. The first carpet above was apparently inspired by Tory's mother's bathing suit! How awesome is that?

Definitely stop by her 797 Madison Store!

Concept Korea

For four seasons in a row, Concept Korea has selected a few South Korean designers to showcase their collections at Lincoln Center. It was one of the few presentations that Wesley Mason and I were both able to enjoy as there was also menswear. The menswear you see here is Resurrection by Juyoung, and I wanted to make a smaller version of each and everyone of her pieces so that I could wear it. The wetsuit-like blazer was too good to pass, not to mention the bright orange color that was striking. Another favorite of mine were the colorful and cheery prints by the designers Steve J & Yoni P. What I'd give to wear the matching blazer, top, and shorts with the green clutch.

I've never paid much attention to Korean designers, but after this presentation, I'm quite interested in seeing more and could totally picture all of these designers becoming mainstream.

Perfect Backdrop

(Lush Dress, Vintage Renoir Copper Belt, Guiseppe Zanotti Lace Up Heels, Rebecca Minkoff Clutch)

Can't get over how beautiful this dress is. With its multilayers, pleats, and unfinished hem, it's perfect for slightly windy days like this day. I love how Fashion Week gives people a reason to dress up, otherwise when and where else would I wear a dress like this?
