New York Fashion Week: Today's Look

As New York Fashion Week comes to a close, here are a couple of looks I rocked during this week long celebration of fashion. Though I only made it to two events I still managed to make my on air looks very fashion week chic. 

On Saturday Morning, like all other Saturday mornings, I had to work. Most days I enjoy dressing up for work and I try to get creative with some of my looks. I'm lucky enough to work for a station with a fairly lenient dress code. I always try to keep it as professional as possible, or try to at least make it appear professional on air. My Saturday Morning look comprised of my fab find from the June Ambrose closet cleanse I attended a few weeks ago. The lime colored BCBG Max Azria blouse  complemented the faux leather fringe skirt from H & M. I wouldn't advise anyone to EVER wear a skirt this short to work...EVER!!! the beauty of my job is I get to choose my camera shot, and on that morning I chose a tight shot so all you can see was the top portion of my skirt and my upper body(like in this picture) and you can't tell the length of the skirt. BTS secret...I came into work that morning in workout stretch pants and I kept them on underneath my skirt the entire morning...mainly because its always freezing in the studio...lol

Here is a more work friendly version of the same outfit. Instead of the rocker chic short fringe skirt, I paired the blouse with this knee length faux pencil skirt from Zara. I finished the look with suede black pumps from Aldo. 

On Saturday evening I attended the Adirée Concept store in Soho. I rocked this yellow mini dress from Zara with nude sandals embellished with large faux diamonds. 

Sunday Afternoon I found myself smack in the middle of fashion week action, covering the Jenny Packham runway show for NY1 News! For that event I went 60's mod chic with this orange A-line mini from Zara and my fashion week signature tight top knot. Shoes are nude black and gold peep- toe sandal from France: Studio Pour André.

On Monday I was semi back to business, I went a bit more casual than normal in this handmade denim button down from H& M paired with a yellow and navy ankara fabric skirt and navy strap sandals...don't forget my trusty team natural top knot. 

It was a fun weekend and I enjoyed dressing up...but what else is new?! Stayed tuned, next week I'm taking you inside the the ankara bazaar happening here in NYC September 17th & 18th at Studio Arte 265 W 37th St 17th Floor, NY NY 10018. Click here for tickets

#todayslook: Eva Mendes for New York & Co

So here's the skinny on #todayslook straight outta #mycloset

Starting from the top, we've got the Eva Mendes mila open sleeve bodysuit in a soft taupe. Its feminine, classy and versatile and the open sleeves gives the look a bit of edge. The blouse can be paired with dress pants or jeans but for work I combined it with the Eva Mendes cosima pencil skirt in a deep reddish burgundy that contrasts drastically and beautifully with the soft colored top. The skirt does a faux wrap effect with a center split up front. Nude strappy sandals from Anthropologie pull the look together without detracting focus from the rest of the ensemble. Eva Mendes and New York & Co are going to have to pay me for all this free advertisement!(LOL)

As per New York & Co neither the blouse or skirt are still available online. If you're feeling lucky you can search for the Mila bodysuit in stores. If you find it, its a FAB FIND at $14.98!! Otherwise here's a look alike bodysuit. New York & Co.'s 7th Avenue Design Studio offers a similar burgundy pencil skirt with ruffle detail on the back.

I file this look in the classy classic folder, because its timeless.
