NYFW Preperation: Rodarte

As we prepare for NYFW, we can't help but to swoon over some of our favorite backstage moments from Rodarte's Spring 2012 collection. 

Gorgeous, no?

Watch the full show here: Rodarte {Fall 2012}

Kate Lawson's new line at Menagerie

Recently, I was invited to Menagerie in Wayne, PA to spend the morning previewing Kate Lawson's new jewelry line. The collection is breathtaking. The perfect mix of metal, stones and sparkle.

While, the pieces are something you need to try to see in person- here are a few personal shots I took during my visit.

As you saw on insta, I took home a few pieces for myself and have been living in them since.

Love the collection. Love the designer. Think you will too.

Fall Trend: Army Green & Camo

Loving that fact that army green and camo print will be coming back for fall. We love how you can pair something tough like camo with a glittery clutch or a sassy feminine heel.

How are you going to wear your army green/camo this fall?

go bold or go home

If you are going to rock a wrap watch, you need to either go bold or go home, and the only way to do so is with La Mer. We love the mix of materials, from the leather to the chains to the interesting patterns. How perfect for Fall.

3.1 Phillip Lim Ora

We as a team are crushing hard on this 3.1 Phillip Lim "Ora" over the knee boot . So perfect for Fall. Thoughts on how you'd rock them?

I recently posted this beauty look over on the Ladies Home Journal blog, Gloss Daily, and wanted to share it with you here too. Really feeling this bright nail with a smoldering, neutral look.
Just perfect as we transition into Fall beauty, don't you think?

As the weather starts to cool down it's almost instinct to pull out the dark lipstick. Today's post is inspired by wine lips and all things burgundy.

Vegas, baby.

My unique job as a fashion illustrator and creative collaborator keeps me working around the clock. And sometimes, it also takes me to really fun places. 

Like vegas.

A few of my favorite biz ladies (Cassandra LaValle, Ashlina Kaposta & Crystal Palacek) and I were invited to speak at Las Vegas Market. We spent some time talking about business, visiting amazing showrooms at World Market Center ... and we also spent some time in the pool.

Here are some of my favorite personal photos from the trip. (more on instagram)

 Missing these pretty, and funny, faces already...

The biggest thanks to the lovely staff at the Cosmopolitan and LVMKT for hosting us.
