This winter I’ve had fun with this geometric fit and flare dress from Nordstrom (similar red Felicity and Coco dress $118 and blue Topshop dress $80). It’s warm, you can dress it up or down, and the flare makes you feel girly! I love it.

Last week I also caught some of Nolcha Fashion Week. It was a frenzy backstage but as usual everything came together beautifully. I really liked designs by Christian Benner, Leka, and L Catherine London. I love a good statement jacket and Christian Benner and Leka’s biker jackets scream New York City. I was also able to catch up with Christian Benner later and get a closer look at his jackets which have full rock star status. See more photos below!

With the snow being such a mess and this winter being so cold, I wanted to be comfortable even for New York Fashion Week. I wore my Spring 2014 sequined Ashish sweatpants (NEW SPRING 15 VERSION HERE) and my Michael Kors sweatshirt in a very loose outfit for Nolcha and Hernan Lander shows. I just loved these sweatpants. Want to know why? Well, for one, it is a sweatshirt/sweatpant combo, both super soft and easy to wear! Secondly, sequins just make everything better. Not to mention, they are very big on the Fall 2014 runways. We’ve seen sequins bedazzling the runway from Marc Jacobs, Rodarte, Tom Ford and more.
Paired with bright yellow pumps (Saint Laurent $595 or Carvela $167) and my grey Alexander Wang handbag, I had fun with this outfit. Pair them with this Ashish sequined tank top or try another bedazzled sweatpant look with this Marc by Marc Jacobs sequined sweatshirt.
Speaking of comfort, have you entered my winter comfort GIVEAWAY? Only a few days left! I am all about being comfortable and stylish in this horrible winter we are having. Don’t forget to enter and check out more photos of my outfit and favorites from the Hernan Lander show below!

Happy Valentine’s Day! Hope you’re enjoying the day so far. Here’s a cooky sketch of a heart. It’s meant to represent an intense and undying love.

This week Tracy Reese showed her Fall 2014 Collection full of feathers, sequins, fuzzy fabric and chunky sweaters. It was my kind of comfortable clothing collection. The move to comfort is here to stay in fashion guys. I don’t know if it’s the horrible winter weather we’ve experienced or what but relaxed clothing with a bit of shimmer is what to wear for the winter. Hey, like Marc Jacobs says, happy days are here again.

Remember my Madd Hatter post last year? I had so much fun playing with hats at Ellen Christine’s showroom, I just had to check out the ArtsWestchester HATtitude Exhibit grand opening last weekend. The show was amazing and if you like hats or think you might want to experiment with hats, you absolutely must check it out!
The show is going on until April 12th. Get inspired!

Manufacture New York encourages designers to make and produce their clothing here in New York. I don’t know about you but in my opinion, quality has suffered with most production happening off shores. It was a breath of fresh air to hear about Manufacture New York.
This week I stopped by their show featuring Abacaxi, Vaunt & Sol, Carrie Hammer, Laurel Dewitt and a number of other local designers. Check out more photos from the show below and a review from the amazing Laurel Dewitt couture jewelry show here.

New York Fashion Week is off to the races. And with current weather conditions, you might slip and fall on the ice while you make your way to wherever you’re going. So, why not an amazing sweater or sweatshirt? Who doesn’t love a big fuzzy sweater? I am in love with my big fuzzy Raga cow print sweater. It’s warm, it’s comfortable. What more could I ask for?
This comfortable trend has really taken over with everyone from Alexander McQueen to Tibi cranking out designer sweatshirts and sweaters to rock in funky street styledom (best with some leather pants or black jeans like my J Brand jeans in the photo).
So bundle up, ENTER TO WIN A $150 E GIFT CARD and get yourself a new comfy sweater! CONGRATULATIONS DEBBIE K!! Thanks to everyone for participating!
