Great people, amazing food & some really great fashion….just the fun filled 4 days we needed and the reasons why we love NYC so much.  Here are a few photos we just had to share…

The Sartorialist on the look out!

So awesome meeting Gucci Westman! I am now a bigger fan than before!

and super awesome chatting with David Neville of Rag & Bone's mom!

I didn't even realize that was Susie Bubble in them boots! Beyond streetstyle...I'm such a shoe gazer

there was another adorable teen aside from Tavi at the Gary Graham presentation.

Our Gary Graham appt was the perfect way to end our trip. It was so great working with Eliane and off the photos from the Gary Graham presentation. It's amazing amazing work they do over there!!

more fashion, more Giovanna…

What can I possibly add??  That is some serious style.

Many thanks to Garance Dore, The Sartorialist, Allure Allure, jak & jil

So, I am not Susie Bubble or Jane Aldridge; I am not The Sartorialist or Garance Doré; I am not Carine Roitfeld or Giovanna Battaglia. I am just an aging party girl who has always loved to play dress-up.

It is exciting yet terrifying to me that blogging has become a part of my life. Terrifying because I am terrified of my own personal take on fashion and the things that inspire me. When I look at Sea of Shoes and I see this young, barely 17-year old confidently discussing — and wearing! — Ann Demeulemeester and Margiela, it just absolutely blows my mind. And then I flip over to the UK and I see the self-proclaimed Queens of Style, Marie and Michelle of Kingdom of Style, blogging about obscure lines like Mother of London and — again, confidently — wearing robin’s egg blue tights with feathered headdresses. I think to myself, what the HELL am I doing in company such as this? What do I know about fashion?

I guess the answer and the thing that keeps me going is that what I know about fashion is that I love it. I definitely know enough to know what I like, what looks good on me and what is age-appropriate. Susie Bubble always refers to herself as a “fashion outsider.” I guess you could probably say that about most, if not all, of us. Those of us who love fashion are willing to take risks, to be different, to draw attention to ourselves. I’m really not afraid to have people look at me a little cock-eyed. Scary, yes, but also intensely gratifying. 

These are just a few of my favorite fearless, blogging, trendsetting fashionistas…

Camille, Childhood Flames

Jane, Sea of Shoes

Alix, the cherry blossom girl

Susie Bubble, Style Bubble

Rumi, fashiontoast

Sarah X, Public Personae

Arabelle, Fashion Pirates

And I have to mention a new favorite of ours, Amanda of Sassafras.

A very special thanks to all these ladies for the images and for sharing themselves with us. Keep on rocking that fashion, y’all!
