Fashion Month roared in like a lion and out like a lamb wearing Chanel sneaker boots. Fall 2014 was a continuation of last season’s trends (abstract colorblocking, worldly prints, etc.) combined with an abundance of luxurious coats and buttery leather thigh high boots. Just for kicks, here's a highly edited selection of favorites:
NEW YORK
Prabal Gurung’s drapey layers and muted tones; Slouchy windowpane prints at 3.1 Phillip Lim, Juan Carlos Obando does American Hustle; Insouciant wallpaper

I know I’ve been MIA (thanks to loooong hours at work and an evil sinus infection), but I’ve been around! Here’s what I’ve been up to:
Scarfing down flaming donuts (YUM) with sugar-glazed abandon; Marvelling at the fact that there are places where fruit is growing on trees (with leaves on them!) in February; Watching feeding time with the fishies at the Newport Aquarium; Lusting after the Manolos I pulled for a photo shoot #WantneedmusthavetoobrokeAARGH; Takin’

My love of neutrals has been pretty well documented, especially when it comes to my favorite: gray. That perfect, goes with everything, not-too-dark-but-not-too-light color that’s not really a color. I was digging through my closet when I realized that I currently own 5 gray sweaters (I ONLY want to wear sweaters lately thanks to this horrible PolarBearVortexRollercoaster weather) in varying shades and weights, and I'm not the only one:

While I'm technically focusing on making the most of what's already in my closet, the sales going on right now are just too good to ignore. I figure indulging in a bit of discounted post-holiday shopping actually SAVES money (just go with me on this one) and helps support local businesses. A few of my favorite opportunities for retail therapy:
Sloane Deep Sale - 50% -80% off seasonal merchandise. Be sure to check out the racks

1// As a child of the ‘80s, anything that reminds me of Darryl Hannah in Splash or the mystery mermaid lover from Kool and the Gang’s “Cherish” video warms my heart.
2// I love the simplicity of a boldly striped shoe.
3// This is the best, most Parisian version of curb appeal I’ve seen in a long time.
4// Now that I understand how much work goes into prop styling, this eclectic tabletop arrangement is even more impressive.
