fashion lives here.

A New York Fashion Week State of Mind.

It’s September, and that means two things. Football & fashion week. While I’m super pumped that football is back (college & NFL) this post will be about the latter. New York Fashion Week is here. It’s definitely a big deal in the fashion industry but if you aren’t familiar here’s a few bits of info:

  • It’s a fashion girl’s dream to attend (I’ll get there one day!) & the most exciting time of the year.
  • Fashion week is really more like fashion month – all the fashion weeks around the world are back to back. (London, Milan, Paris are the major weeks to follow through October 8th)
  • Fashion week is always a season ahead – this September we will be seeing Spring 2016 collections.
  • Buyers from the top department stores are attending the shows and make appointments to start their selection process.
  • Some of the best parties between celebs, models, and designers happen during this time. Stay tuned to insta!
  • Fashion notables & blogger favorites from all over the world come out during fashion month, so bring your very best.

I’ll be doing a round up of my favorite shows later this week – come back to check out what’s to come for Spring 2016.

Which brings me to today’s post. Even though I didn’t make it to New York this year, I decided to show and outfit I might wear. Tell me what you think!

My photographer Dusty Rose Darling Photography really did some great work on this one! We had so much fun with this theme, we just couldn’t stop shooting!

The Clash.

I happened to fall in love with a pair of shoes today. I guess you could say that shoes are my “thing”, but then clothes and handbags would be my “thing” too. Once I saw these Sergio Rossi wedges I instantly had to have them, well if I had an extra $1,300 lying around.

Meet ‘Clash’, a geometric pattern wedge from the Radical Pattern story in the Sergio Rossi Spring/Summer 2013 collection.

I love the classic color palette of yellow, black, and white. But what makes it fun is the hammered brass on the back heel that adds another dimension. A cute wedge is crucial for the spring and this one can dress up an outfit of boyfriend jeans and a worn in tee so easily. You can see the silhouette of a pump in the heel which is a nice twist. Pairing this wedge with a sexy black dress or jumpsuit would be a fun option for date night. Lots of ways to wear this wedge, definitely wishing I could add it to my closet. (even though room for a new pair of shoes is non-existent)

If you want to add ‘Clash’ to your closet, get them here.

New Kicks :: Sam Edelman ‘Katrice’ Wedges.

Found some new shoes this weekend and I am totally in love. I’m always a sucker for cute shoes. I just couldn’t pass these up. [I tried, believe me.] These beauties are the Sam Edelman ‘Katrice’ Wedges that I found at Nordstrom Rack. The sale price made them even sweeter!

The picture above doesn’t even do them justice. I’m still working on finding the right lighting in my apartment.

Leopard prints are still in so these are a great find. I love the versatility of these shoes. Not to sexy for daytime and they work as a fun neutral also. The faux calf hair gives them a luxe feel. The height is perfect to wear all day too. Gonna have to wear these on my little vacation in a couple weeks! Do you like?
