Two Fashion Weeks down, two to go! London was, as usual, the wild card of the group, with a number of up-and-comers fresh out of Central Saint Martins showing their designs on the runways. Tales of fabulous parties in hole-in-the-wall pubs filled with drunken, dancing (Br)it-girls make me want to say things like "What's all this, then?" in a (really bad) faux-British accent!
Let's get this party started:
Houndstooth and checks and tweeds, oh my! Traditional English gear mixed with modern...
I found this skirt on a thrifting venture a few years ago and was immediately drawn to the gilded paisley print and lacy trim. I imagined wearing it in Moscow, standing in front of Saint Basil's Cathedral, exhaling puffs of cold air, swathed in a exotic furry hat and muff. Since that particular vision has not yet come to fruition, I figured I'd better think of some other way to wear it.
Pairing it with neutrals and muted shades works,...
I tend to be veeeery impatient. This applies to pretty much all aspects of my life, and fashion is no exception. The stuff for fall from this past New York Fashion Week? Yeah, I want to wear it NOW.

1. American Apparel Tri-blend long sleeve v-neck, $30 2. Forever21 Tribal print scarf, $5.80 3. BuyCostumes.com...
The first of the Fashion Week(s) is drawing to a close, and as promised, I'll review some of my favorite looks from the New York collections. A few things are patently obvious:
1. I definitely need to keep hitting the gym
2. I am in desperate* need** of some leather
*not at all
**cannot foresee any occasion in which it would be appropriate to wear
Just goes to show that no matter what you're wearing, a fabulous furry/sparkly/animal print/looped yarn(?)...
In an effort to add a little variety to my already plentiful collection of black pants (really, who needs this many?), I ordered these drop-crotch trousers from asos.com. I love the high waist, silky material, and tapered leg, and since they're so "trendy" I kept the top simple and focused on accessories.
Shirt, Express; trousers, asos.com; shoes, Giuseppe Zanotti; Indian bridal necklace, bombayfashions.com; vintage earrings and pendant necklace.
