Inside my Bag

What is inside my bag? A bundle of essentials I need to carry with me every day! My Marc by Marc Jacobs Q Hillier bag has been one of my best purchases. It is quite spacey to house all of my favorite things. My Longchamp ‘Le Pliage’ 2-Tone Pouchette holds all my make-up and first aid essentials (I will reveal on an upcoming post). I also carry the latest issue of Vogue or JCrew’s catalog, icebreakers and/or gum, a notepad to house all my blogging and work light-bulb moments, business cards holder, Ray-Ban sunglasses, mini sewing kit, umbrella, hand sanitizer, hand lotion, blackberries, Louis Vuitton card holder and Tory Burch embossed continental wallet.

MB Fashion Week Recap Fall 2012 RTW

The Mercedes-Benz fashion week has come to an end and here are my favorite picks from the second half of the show. Tibi brought birds print skirts, blouses, which I loved! The collection highlighted symmetrical pieces, jackets, blouses, dresses, pants that are perfect for the office and semi-casual outings.

Nicole Miller’s collection is bringing an amazing wardrobe this fall. Just take a look at this picture. The hat, the dress, jacket, tights, shoes, everything is fantastic! The collection is causal but has colorful flares that make it glamorous.

Tory Burch showcased a wonderful collection full of jades, blues and chiffon. I glimpsed at some python accents on bags and totally digging that this fall.

Loving this off-white and black accents Jenny Packham dress! Very simple, chic and elegant, I bet Kate Middleton is all over this collection.

What can I say about the JCrew collection, LOVE, LOVE, LOVE! There do I start? Polka dots, tweeds, jackets, colorful cropped pants, accessories, suede pumps, pencil skirts.. love it all. Everyone that knows me or works with me knows half of my wardrobe is form JCrew.

DVF always classy and fabulous. Great colors to bright up fall.

Closet 101

Closet problems? Ask me! I have a tiny Victorian style closet but with careful planning, I’ve made it all work. When you have a small closet, the key is organization, organization, organization! From colors to outfits coordination, you can transform your closet and picking up outfits is so much easier.

#ClosetTips: Start by categorizing your clothes by colors, then move on to shirts and blouses. My top closet is dedicated to shirts, sweater, jackets, blazers and pants, which are organized by sleeve length, color and pattern. I start with white, yellow, pink, blue, everything in between and keep going to darker colors. I also separate my blouses by stripes or flower/stars patterns so I know where to go when I want a fun top.

#ClosetTips: Organize your dresses by occasion, color and season. It makes life so much easier when you’re wondering what to wear. Since my closet is the size of a door, REALLY, whoever built this house had no idea of the amount of clothes a girl can have. Not to panic. I have these wonderful wonder hangers that have made my closet very happy.

#ClosetTips: Use your room’s space efficiently. Using door hangers for my bags and necklaces has been great. I keep them all nice and organized and spaced out for easy decisions. Stay tune for more #ClosetTips!

MB Fashion Week Fall 2012 RTW so far..

Hi fashionistas, I know I’ve been out of the loop for a bit but work has been crazy this week. Nonetheless, here’s recap on this year’s fall Mercedes Benz fashion week in New York. Jason Wu’s fall collection highlights an army of Chinese female powerhouse. From the wooden doors to the uniform outfits on the runway, Wu brings a collection of red, embroideries and militaristic outfits.

BCBG Max Azria’s geometric vivid colors are such an inspiration. The orange keeps coming back, I love how vivid colors brighten up fall and winter season. The collection is full of chiffon, leather, canvas, color blocks, and the dresses style are great on different types of bodies which makes the collection even better. If you’re looking for chic leather jackets, BCBG has it all!

I loved Rag & Bone’s contemporary winter layering, vests, furs, jackets, tunics, electric colors and glamorous mixes. Bronze, grey, brown and burgundy wrapped around this fashion week’s show.
