Fashion designer Marissa Webb spent eleven years at J.Crew but showed solo for the first time on Saturday morning.  It was clear that she is thriving on her own and that my wallet is going to be a lot lighter after her creations hit the stores.  According to Marissa, the collection is a mix of “high […]

I spied The Sartorialist chatting with fashion editor of Tank magazine, Caroline Issa at the tents today.  Never know who you might see during fashion week so you better dress your best! Photos by moi

The models at the Nautica Men’s Spring 2013 presentation on Friday were hot, literally and figuratively.  The roof of the Empire Hotel created a great backdrop but the poor boys in the coats were sweating in the 80+ degree temperatures.  We were grateful for their steely professionalism because the show was great.  It was “inspired […]

Ladies, and gents, with great personal style always design the best collections. That  is the case with Veronica Beard, both of them.  Sisters in law Veronica Miele Beard and Veronica Swanson Beard the co-designers behind the label Veronica Beard presented a beautiful spring 2013 collection at the Gramercy Park Hotel Wednesday evening.  I liked it […]

I’m going to attempt to recap each day at the Spring 2013 shows at Mercedes Benz Fashion Week.  We’ll see how far I get due to exhaustion and lack of time.  But I can tell you what happened on Day One.  I missed my first two shows for various reasons.  I managed to get some […]

And so it begins.  Today is the first day of fashion week in New York and the city is a buzz.  Even though we’ve just started getting ready for fall, everyone is excited to see what designers have in store for Spring 2013. I’m scheduled to attend more than 60 shows.  Whether I make it […]

Those of you who follow me on Instagram already saw a sneak peek of the Hermès Festival des Métiers I attended to today but I wanted to share it with everyone.  Hermès has organized a “Festival of Crafts” through Sunday in New York to let the public, free of charge, see how some of its most famous […]

I’m not gonna lie. I haven’t shopped much at the Gap for a few years but after seeing their new Styld.by campaign and fall lookbook, I am definitely going to fall back into the Gap.  Singer/songwriter Asia Chow Styld.by Who What Wear.  Screenwriter Hallie Meyers-Shyer Styld.by Who What Wear.  Definitely need more blazers for fall.  […]

Everyone has heard the rule that you can’t wear white after Labor Day.  Rules are also meant to be broken.  I don’t think it’s appropriate to wear summery white clothes or anything linen after Labor Day but a little white can be fine.  If you are going to break the rules, I suggest pairing white […]

  I know it’s not quite autumn yet but all I can think about are falling leave, cable sweaters and tweed.  Hope this post gets you in the mood too!  Photos via the gifts of life and tumblr

I’ve already been shopping for fall but I still have holes left to fill.  I’m always on the hunt for a tie front blouse and the Bryce Bow Blouse in emerald green from Tory Burch definitely looks like a winner.  Of course, I also want the green dress and all those fabulous coats. With the […]

The change of season is also a good time to change up your decor.  Autumn is the perfect time to add a cashmere blanket to ward off a chill or accessories that invoke cooler temperatures.  The new Alpine Lodge Collection from Ralph Lauren Home actually makes me excited for fall weather. Hot guy sold separately. […]

“The morrow was a bright September morn;The earth was beautiful as if newborn;There was nameless splendor everywhere,That wild exhilaration in the air,Which makes the passers in the city streetCongratulate each other as they meet.” –   Henry Wadsworth Longfellow  photo by moi

Labor Day weekend in America is the unofficially end of summer.  Where did the time go?!  But just because it’s almost fall doesn’t mean you have to put away your stripes.  Saint James has just debuted a new eight piece capsule collection at Barneys that are perfect for what the French call  la rentrée.  It […]

I’ve always thought Lake Bell had great personal style but now we get to see that she also has great eye for design.  Probably helps that her mother, Robin Bell, is an interior designer but the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.  Thanks to APT by LSD today on Vogue, we get to peek […]

I have a million things I could write about today but the sun is shining, the sky is blue, and the humidity is low. I’m off to enjoy this gorgeous day while it lasts.  I’ll be back later with some pretty pics.  Later skaters!  HC
