Minimalist... in black and white.


Wearing: Vince Sweater.  Rebecca Taylor Pants.  Zara Heels.  

I was feeling the minimalist vibe and wore this black and white combination on one (chillier) day last week. 

I'm in love with white pants in theory (I think it's such a cool look) but was worried about getting them dirty within .5 minutes of walking outside my apartment. I refused to sit on the subway in them (I'm not usually one to care), and decided a slouchy, dark colored sweater was my safest bet on top. Anyway, I'd love to hear your thoughts about keeping white pants *white* while out and about / headed to work – especially via public transportation. I mean it's possible, if I managed to do it then you surely can too

Punk'd Out


I made it to the Punk: Chaos to Couture exhibit at The Met this past weekend, and you guys it's too cool. You must go! Seeing those incredible pieces of fashion history in person was inspiring and the presentation / vibe was great. Even my guy who I dragged along enjoyed it. Oh and I went a bit fan-girl and bought this barbed wire tee (it was my favorite - wearable - piece from the exhibit sponsor, Moda Operandi's punk shop). 

It was the perfect way to spend a rainy afternoon... and on our way home we walked past the Bergdorf punk windows which look awesome. You should go see those after the exhibit too!


As punk as I get...

A little inspiration for how to incorporate safety pins and edgy details into your wardrobe this fall... (that red leather Isabel Marant dress is my dream!).

1. Rodarte Sweatshirt. Current/Elliot Jeans. Love Kills Earrings. Phillip Lim Clutch.  Charlotte Olympia Pumps.
2. Isabel Marant Dress and Shoes. M'O x Met Ball Tattoos. Dark Eyeliner + Mascara. 
3. Rebel of the Ball Tee. Mugler SkirtCharlotte Olympia ClutchNicholas Kirkwood Booties.



And thanks to the sweet Polyvore and Moda Operandi teams who gave me this punk exhibit coffee table book and temporary tattoos, which will be fun to make use of!

Weekend Neutrals


Rachel Zoe Bag.  Zara Heels.  Celine Sunglasses.

Life has been a bit busier these days so I'm especially happy when Friday rolls around. How about you?! Here's a little weekend (neutral)-style inspiration. I lived in this comfy Margaret O'Leary scoop sweater last weekend. It's the perfect mix of casual yet cool and a great loose knit for this transitional spring weather.
