Street Style New York Fashion Week

I spent a good part of fashion week documenting the amazing street style around Lincoln Center on my Instagram. I just couldn't get over the creativity and the shoes (my God the shoes!). It was super fun to be on the other end of a lens. You may not know it but I'm a little self conscious when getting my photo taken. I don't know whether to smile, smize of do my fierce "i'm that b*tch" face. It can all be really....confusing. So I love when I encounter the photographers shooting street style who tell me exactly how to pose, where to stand and whether to smile or not lol. It definitely takes the pressure off. This by far was one of the best moments of Sunday afternoon. I finally got the courage to ask June Ambrose for a photo! If you missed some of my pics here's a quick Insta-Recap Below.

Epic Alexander Wang Sandals that promply sold out when I wanted to buy them last season.

Front Row NYFW

today was the most fun day of NYFW. this morning when I arrived at Lincoln Center...

the courtyard was bare...is was quietly snowing. No paps...No people... No nothing...

 but stillness and the click of my Charles Jourdan Heels on the wet pavement.

Once inside the tents though it was bursting with action, flashes and fashion!

This was definitely a day I will always remember.

I choose to be a little more daring today and rock some vintage too.

Hat: Top Shop | Skirt: Vintage from Curly Top Vintage Shop | Coat: Michael Kors

The LINE-UP

Porter Grey

Jill Stuart

Son Jung Wan

Christian Siriano

Porter Grey was definitely one of my favorite lines of the Spring 2012 collections. I also really enjoyed the Fall 2012 collection as well especially the printed dresses and of course the brogues!

Check out this quick video of the presentation.

Jill Stuart was amazing. I must say I've never really been into her..not for any particular reason but now I'm officially obsessed. What caught my eye was the full mini skirts (so vintage with a twist), the patterns, the black sheer and gold accents and the shoes.

 Not to mention this was one of the best styled shows I've seen this NYFW.

Check out the closing video!

Son Jung Wan went far and wide. The collection was well rounded with day-to-night wear. I liked the simplicity of it all and how the collection could be worked together. The earth tones and jewel tones also sucked me in along with the warm furs and wools.

The Spring 2012 Collection was also pretty awesome as well.

 Check out this closing video of the show.

Last but certainly not least was Christian Siriano.

I can not even put into words how excited I was to view these 38 astonishing looks from Christian.

I have followed his career and he has blossomed into a designer to be reckoned with.

Front row was Mena Suvari, June Ambrose and Gabourey Sidibe.

 I was smitten with the clothing...and the shoes. I will be working some extra hours to buy me a pair for sure!

Check out this quick video along with some fun flicks...

ps..he does the cutest little dance at the end!

great Fashion Reads

i love a good magazine but i'm starting to buy more and more fashion related books.

I was visiting The Strand in NYC on 12th and Bway and who shall I run into but

Mick Jagger...Yes...I almost peed my pants.

trust me if you want to see celebrities just hang out in that bookstore...everytime I go I see a celebrity.

they like to read too you know!

 So I picked up June Ambroses book Effortless Style and an unofficial tale of Anna Wintours Rise to Editor and Chief at Vogue by Jerry Oppenheimer.

I even noticed that June Ambrose signed this copy I bought! SCORE!

I must say that Front Row Anna Wintour is JUICY JUICY JUICY!

I cannot put this book down!

I don't personally know Anna Wintour but I've always wanted to know more about her and how she got to be the Queen B of Fashion and reign over New York City.

Effortless Style is a great go to book about the basics in fashion and was a quick read too.

swept up in Juniverse

So last Saturday..I'm sitting on the train checking my twitter when I see that thee June Ambrose is having a little shin dig at Paul Stuart.

I had no intentions of going anywhere fabulous for the day but made a swift B-Line for Paul Stuart.

I was among the first to arrive and was asked to sign a waiver....Oh Goody...I didn't know this was actually a taping for her NEW REALITY SHOW

(drops in February)

Hooray I walked right into being a part of the show.

Thanks Twitter!

Guest were treated to delightful snacks and beverages while we waited for June to style none other than Jaleel White...(Steve Urkel).

Well lemme tell you ladies...he is no teenage nerd anymore

but I digress...

June did her thing styling him in top of the line suits with the most dapper of details.

I had such a blast critiquing his clothing and seeing how he really felt about the pieces June put him in.

All in all it was a super fun time. June Ambrose is one of my idols and boy oh boy did she look fantastic in her Catherine Malandrino and Loubou Boots.
