NYFW backstage pass: DL1961

A firm believer in the idea that a good pair of jeans can change your life, I was thrilled to attend the DL1961 runway show to see what's in store for denim come Fall! Known for its perfect fit, the brand has become a fast-favorite of the style set (and Sally!), striking the perfect balance between downtown edge and polished sophistication.

Before the show, I headed backstage where I chatted with Sephora's Sara Biria who created the "heroin-chic" makeup look that would later walk the runway. The totally attainable look is one we can't wait to emulate: a natural smokey eye with a touch of sheen (created with a dab of lip gloss) and a nude lip.

As a crowd began to form outside, we took our seats eagerly awaiting Creative Director Sarah Ahmed's vivid blue jeans, chic distressing, and leather interpretations to strut down the runway. While classic skinny staples got upgraded with tuxedo stripes and frayed details, what really caught my eye were the snakeskin metallics and quilted leather panels. Every look was even more wearable than the last, and left me wishing they could walk off the runway and straight into my closet! Here are just some of my favorites below:

surprise

As many of you may know, on June 11th I celebrated my 18th birthday!! The day was filled with family, delicious food and presents! Amongst all of the gifts I was given, I'd have to say that I was most surprised by two of them, my new sunglasses and my new bracelet! As you may remember from previous want lists, I've had my eye on these Gucci aviators for quite some time - and my very generous brother got them for me (he's the best!) My bracelet was a total surprise - and I'm absolutely in love with it!

A plus side when the weather gets chilly? Wearing all of Mommy's gorgeous fur coats! This one, which was a gift from my Grandma (she has the best taste..doesn't she give the coolest presents!?) can be worn either with these wool sleeves, fur sleeves, or with no sleeves at all! A three-in-one fur..so cool. Grandma knows best, like always!
