New York Fashion Week - Part III

 I can never, ever stay away from black and white. I just can't. In this look, I kept everything black and white and threw on different patterns. Also, poncho! I have been wanting a plaid one for the longest time, but I haven't found one that I really liked. I came across this non-plaid one and lovee it.

New York Fashion Week - Part II

 For this look, I went with winter whites, furs, and textures. Layering kept me warm (not totally) and the fur definitely helped! I layered on this white neoprene moto jacket over a fur jacket, textured sweater, and turtle neck.

New York Fashion Week - Part I

My first season of New York Fashion Week was great. I am glad I got to experience the Lincoln Center before fashion week moved. It's rumored to move over to the west side, but I'm not sure. Regardless, it won't be the same! For fashion week, I tried to break out of my daily uniform. Keep in mind, NY weather is insanely cold, most days I don't even want to step out of the apartment! Of course, I still kept my 6 layers, but it still didn't seem to be enough.

Grids

 One of my favorite prints has got to be the grid print, especially if it's in black and white. Since I just kept to the regular classic colors, I added this very pale blue back bag to add some life into the look. What do you think?

Leather & Brown

If it looks like I'm wearing enough layers for 3 people, it's because I am. Guys, I'm telling ya, I probably win the award for most layers put on the human body to keep warm in the winter. I can stack up to 8 layers if I wanted, but this particular outfit it was only 7.

Ever since moving to New York, I have been totally obsessed with the Buffalo Exchanges', CrossRoads', and Beacon's Closets' around here because Tennessee doesn't have awesome thrift places like these. I found this (men's) Prada coat in Chelsea, in my opinion, the best Buffalo Exchange. Also, it doesn't help with the fact there's no tax on clothing and shoes over $110, so you can only imagine how crazy I've gotten.

Purple Haze

 One color that I definitely do not have a lot in my closet is purple. I absolutely love the color, but I never seem to find anything that's a nice shade. So I stepped out of my little neutral colored box and came up with this look. What do you think?

p.s. I found the perfect necklace in Soho the other week. :p

Camel

 These over-sized lapel coats are my total favorites. Although when you tie it, it turns into a robe, but hey even better, right? A socially acceptable robe. I paired it with a black and white look and topped it off with this faux fur headband.

P.S. Who also goes crazy when Zara releases these season sales!?
