Inspired by: Kanas Couture

I met the lovely Katy of the awesome blog, Kansas Couture, a few weeks back at the Weardrobe Conference and I just have to say, I love her style. I was checking her blog and really loved this outfit. We both got this same necklace from Fred Flare, as well as this t-shirt in one of the gift bags, courtesy of Cheap Monday, and I was a little hesitant on whether or not I could pull it off or how I would wear it. But after seeing Katy rock it so effortlessly, I became inspired. Stay tuned to see what I come up with!

My Outfit: Strike A Pose

So, after the Milly show last Wednesday, I came home and relaxed a bit before heading back out to a party put on by Refinery 29, Thrillist and Gilt Groupe with a special performance by Of Montreal. I ran into Kelly there and we got our photo taken as we walked in. (Recognize this outfit?) She was kind enough to snap a shot of my full outfit and a close up my hair. Click below to see the photos!

Sweet Sunshine

Happy Monday! Wow, last week was a such whirlwind of amazing fashion shows, parties and friends. I had a blast but by the time Friday came, I was plain exhausted and needed a day to recoup, so I’m sorry for not posting. But, I’m back, refreshed and ready to take on the week. So, yesterday, I got my hair cut—shorter bangs and more layers—and then spent a lovely day with my good friend, Liz, laying out in the sun, catching up, and then later eating ice cream, and then sushi…in that order. Just what the doctor ordered. What did you do this weekend?

Recap: IFB Dress Up Soiree

Clockwise: Me and Jessica, of What I Wore, me and Pamela of Market Publique, me and Carolyn of The Daily Obsession, The Glamourai and her fab roommate, Jennine of Independent Fashion Bloggers, and the panelists (last two photos).

As promised, photos from last night’s event! The panel was really interesting and everyone had great stuff to say. I had to slip out after the first group of girls spoke and head to my friend’s Birthday party, but managed to snag a few shots with the lovely ladies above!

Once I said my goodbyes, I headed over to Max Fish in the LES to meet up with friends. And, while I was waiting at the bar for a drink, I started chatting with these two girls. I first noticed the girl on the right because of her cool white ripped jeans and then realized that her friend was wearing the most adorable jumper. They were so friendly and just looked effortlessly cool, that I just had to take photos of them! Thanks, girls!

My Outfit: All Dressed Up

Isn’t this blue background cool? I have some more photos from last night to share with you, but am running around today, bouncing between fashion shows and such, so they should be up this afternoon. But, for now, here is what I wore to last night’s event. I got this dress with my Mom when I was back home in Seattle and it is definitely pretty on it’s own, but my process of accessorizing it is pretty funny. So. I started out by just letting the dress hang freely without the sash that it came with, but then I thought that it needed a little something. So, I managed to shimmy this “belt,” which is actually a necklace that I recently got at Fred Flare, over my head and slip it down to my waist. Miracle! Then I put on my regular jewelry, like rings and a bracelet and little vintage hoop earrings, but I wanted to try and push my limits a little bit, so I thought of the most glamorous person I know and what she would do. And that my friends, is The Glamourai. She is a huge fan of glaming it up with jewelry and I totally channeled her style here by piling on a big statement necklace as the final touch. Normally I wouldn’t think to wear a statement necklace and belt and earrings etc. But, I ended up loving the final look!

Lesson of the day: Take a risk by drawing inspiration from those around you and weave it into your own style. So fun!

P.S. Check out Jessica’s outfit from last night. AMAZING!

My Outfit:
Earrings and bracelet: Vintage
Dress: Banana Republic
Necklace: Buffalo Exchange
Belt: Fred Flare
Shoes: Nine West, thrifted from Beacon’s Closet
Bag: Vintage from The Vintage Closet

Recap: Weardrobe Conference, Last Day

The last day of the conference was a tearful one as we all sat around and munched bagels and talked about how much fun we had over the past couple of days. We also got to partake in an awesome clothing swap and even though I didn’t bring anything, I think I managed to take some things off other people’s hands. A huge thanks to Claire, Keiko, Kyla and Krystal for my cool new duds!

Clothing swap!

Me and Jess posing for the Weardrobe photo booth. We were a little reluctant at first since we all just shared our testimonials of the weekend, and yes, there were some tears! The conference and the girls were THAT cool!

Noel from The Owls Are Not What They Seem

O.M.G. So, as I was leaving the hotel, I saw Giovanna Battaglia! I absolutely HEART her style and was completely speechless when I saw her. I wish I had the guts to ask her for an actual photograph, but this was all I could muster. A huge thanks to Joelle from The Owls Are Not What They Seem, for “posing” for a photo as I took a quick snap of Giovanna, who was standing behind her. Look at that outfit! Even from the back, she looks chic!
