Everyone knows that New York City is known for it’s incredible people watching but during Fashion Week people take it to a whole other level. People come from all over the world to attend the shows, to celebrate fashion and most importantly to get noticed. Lincoln Center drew a pretty wild crowd each day and the photographers were lined up to catch it all; from the fashion forward elite to the most bizarre looks we have ever laid your eyes on. In between shows at Lincoln Center, we made sure to capture some of our favorite street style looks that we witnessed in the midst of all the madness.

7 Summer Essentials

The hot and humid Summer weather has officially made its presence here in the DC area. Don’t get us wrong, we love the warmer weathers but it can be brutal and uncomfortable if your wardrobe and makeup bags aren’t prepared for it. We wanted to share our top 7 (5 + 2) Summer Essentials to help you get through the Summer in style. 1. Mirrored Sunnies: With a cool reflection, mirrored sunnies make for the perfect shades this summer. That and they are great for taking selfies! We are loving Illesteva, specifically this tortouise style with blue contrast mirrored frames which creates the perfect POC to any outfit. 2. The Perfect Tee: We have already preached how important it is to find the perfect tee, specifically for the Summer to throw on effortlessly. Enza Costa is one of our favorite vendors because they have successfully mastered the fit and fabrication of all their styles. This black and white striped tank with the pocket is perfect paired alone or layered for the cooler nights. 3. BF Jeans: Love the relaxed look of bf jeans which can be dressed up or down. This Rag & Bone/ Jean style is a personal favorite of ours but we found some great […]

Light Spring Layering

Michelle Martin — Tue, 08 Apr 2014 11:37:11 +0000

The sun finally made an appearance this weekend and we were very anxious to make our way outside. There were a few chilly breezes, so we were really feeling the layering pieces for this post. I always feel most confident when adding a blazer or leather jacket to an outfit to pull together a complete, effortless look which can easily be dressed up or down (depending on the shoes and accessories, of course.) We chose flats and a statement necklace as we took Louis on a walk before heading off to brunch to enjoy the weather. Pictured above- Jeans: Zara bf Jeans. Top: Enza Costa. Blazer: Rag & Bone (similar here). Shoes: Alexander McQueen (similar here). Bag: 3.1 Philip Lim. Pictured Above – Jeans: rag & bone. Sweater: Enza Costa. Jacket: Gap. Necklace: Nocturne (similar here). Bracelet: Proenza Schouler. Bag: PS1 medium. xo Sarah & Michelle

Spring Trend Report: Art Pop

admin — Wed, 19 Mar 2014 12:30:29 +0000

Designers took wearable art to a whole new level of loud for Spring 2014 using pop art patterns, brush stroked fabrics, and graphic prints to turn the dial at Celine, Christopher Kane and Prabal Gurung up to 11. Hopefully we can all justify the purchase of one of these “works of art” or “investment pieces” for our wardrobe, while most of us won’t be rocking these exact runway looks, they should inspire us all to be a bit more daring this spring. So don’t be afraid to go for that graffiti print, because no pattern is out of bounds for 2014.
