Drop Dead Gorgeous Looks on the Area Spring/Summer 2026 Runway

Good morning! So, happy Fashion Month. I’ve been trying to catch up and still quite busy handling the hack. Anyway, I’ve become quite a fan of Area through recent years and they did not disappoint for this past Spring/Summer 2026 New York Fashion Week show.

They have street style, elegance with a touch of opulence. I have a Good American denim dress that looks very much like the Area dress below but the dress is jazzed up with a train, fraying of fabric and a one-shoulder design. And, the above feathered white top is just stunning.

Have you been watching the shows?

Natasha Zinko Plaid Corset Top and Pink Louboutin Booties

So I hope your New Year is off to a great start! A designer that I had never heard of, Natasha Zinko, out of the United Kingdom makes some really cool, funky women’s wear that will have you turning heads. I found her through FARFETCH and ordered this plaid corset top which is actually 50% off right now. She has another corset top that features a camouflage print available too. If it’s cold where you are, you can actually layer the corset with a white t-shirt as shown on FARFETCH. I wore the corset with my Rag & Bone jeans (similar here) as well as pink vintage Christian Louboutin booties.

Revolve Mink Pink Denim Bralet and Shorts

If you’re spending the holidays in the tropics or Florida like me, you can enjoy some beautiful warm weather. Peep this cute Mink Pink denim bralet and shorts for a casual daytime look. I paired them with Sam Edelman sandals that are perfect for walks on the beach. Check out more photos below!

Tanya Taylor Crop Top and Rag & Bone Jeans

So I’ve made a big move. I’m now living in Florida but while still in New York I got together with Mariya for some shots. The weather was warm (hence the Tanya Taylor crop top that I found on sale). It’s hot in Florida so I can wear this outfit almost all year! 

These Rag & Bone Simone Denim Pants have been put to great use ever since I got them. They’re light and cute. I just love a dark wash. I paired them with my vintage blue suede Giuseppe Zanotti pumps (similar Manolo Blahnik BB pumps here) and my vintage Marc Jacobs blue handbag. Check out the rest of the photos below!

Color in the Winter: Blue Topshop Coat

Well it’s snowing today after a 50 degree temperature yesterday! What a mess this weather is. To beat the winter blues, I like to use a pop of color. Last year, I picked up this blue Topshop coat from Nordstrom (similar blue Harris Wharf London coat here) to give me that boost among the hum drum of black and grey in my closet. It’s not the warmest coat ever but it works. I also wore vintage silver metallic Lanvin sneakers, Zara jeans (similar here) and an Alexander Wang handbag (similar black one here). Check out a few other coats to brighten up your winter wardrobe.

Blue Lips and Denim

Blue Lips + Denim Malinda Knowles

I decided to try a blue lipstick recently and have been rocking it ever since…especially with denim. An all denim look can be really cool. I paired one of my favorite J Brand jeans with an off the shoulder top from Zara (similar here and here). They’ve been really popular this summer and they actually let your body breathe a little bit in the heat.
