Madewell silk dress

I wish the picture was better, but I love this light and airy silk dress. I feel like im wearing one of those flowy Lanvin creations. The picture does not do it justice.

from polyvore to real life

Sophia Kostas top, H&M skirt, Nine West shoes, JCrew enamel bracelet, vintage gold necklace and bracelets.

I love using Polyvore to play stylist. Its such a fun tool to kill time and just release some creative juices.

I made this set a year ago and was dreaming of it to be my "if i ever go to paris" outfit. The skirt is from Chloe and the top from Proenza Schouler. The other day while browsing around H&M for work, I found the skirt in the exact shade which instantly brought me to back to my Polyvore set.

So here it is from virtual world to real world. I just need to buy a baguette and I'm all set for my Parisian adventure in New York.

Fall @ Zara

Another posting about fall! This gross weather is really getting to me. Plus my inbox, twitter and blogs are filling my brain with images of pretty fall things!

I came across these pictures from the Zara website today. Ok major SWOON! They are always the go-to store for affordable runway knockoffs. I see Balmain, Givenchy, Chloe! Oh my!

My three favorite looks. I really need to try on those sculpted shoulder looks. Are they only flattering if you're size 2 and 5'10? I don't want to end up looking like a short linebacker. Can't wait for these looks to hit the stores.

fall must haves

After months of complaining about cold weather and dying for sun. I'm quickly reminded how summers in NYC feel like. Stickiness, humidity, sweat with occasional downpours and you got yourself a hot mess.

Now here I am wishing for some crisp fall air. The grass is always greener on the other side.

I cant wait to start shopping! I made my first purchase towards fall this weekend. Picked up a black trench at Barneys Outlet at Woodbury Commons. More pics later.

Fashion Meet Literature

Ruben Toledo has designed covers for three classic novels; Pride and Prejudice, Wuthering Heights and The Scarlet Letter. These pretty books will hit shelves this Fall.

When I'm on the subway or bus, I dont like showing which book I'm reading. Maybe its something I learned from my Dad, but he would cover all his books with paper. l definitely will be showing these titles off.
