{beauty} angelic

This model at the Badgley Mischka show had a strangely calming aura about her.  Talk about "smize"..

{style} 3.1 Phillip Lim takes NYFW

Let me tell you a story.

A girl walks into her favorite consignment store in NYC [no she isn't telling you which one, wink wink] and sees a beautiful white dress hanging in the front.  What is this, she thinks.  Oh, it's 3.1 Phillip Lim [grabs that shit].  She takes it to the fitting room and falls in love immediately.  Obviously, she decides to purchase it and uses NYFW coming up as the validation.

Long story short, I came across a pretty special and one-of-a-kind 3.1 Phillip Lim dress - the embellishment, the shape, the slit, the simplicity that doesn't call for any other accessories - this baby will be carefully stored and taken care of like it were my child.

{on the street} NYFW shoes

I am 100% for the term "keep your head up"... until it's Fashion week and it's all about the shoes!

{style} blue hues - NYFW

Maybe it's because my hair is so much more vibrant now {naturally, of course}, but my love for blues is growing more this season.  While greens look great on my complexion, I can't help but feel like I'm coming off the boat from Ireland when I wear it.  But blue... oh blue, how you make me feel so, so good!

{runway} Edun Spring 2014 Collection - NYFW

Ok. So I know I said I wouldn't go too deep into 'reviewing' these collections, but I just can't help myself.  And also, that was before I experienced Edun's Spring 2014 Collection created by the uber-talented Danielle Sherman.  This was the first collection by the designer who took over the brand that was started by Bono [who yes, was sitting front + center being the rockstar that he is].

One thing about fashion shows is the photos don't do most of them justice. Do you see the subtle leather in these outfits? Because that weaving, my friends, is done with insanely beautiful leather. And how many times can you say these words - everything is wearable. It was truly one of those rare occurrences that everything is beautiful enough for editorial, while being classic enough for wearability. Minus Birkenstocks, I can't condone that kind of foot decor quite frankly.

If this is what we have to look forward to with her as head of this brand, this will become one of the most covetable shows each season.  Guaranteed.
