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:

femme fatale


This weekend we were actually able to go jacketless!
It seems pretty hard to believe today though, it's freezing outside..

One present that I got for Christmas was a Chanel nail polish in Rouge Fatal - a gorgeous dark vampy-red with more brown undertones than the other Chanel reds. On Christmas morning when I opened the perfectly wrapped Chanel box, I immediately went upstairs and began to do my nails. If you couldn't already tell, I have an obsession with nail polish and over the past few months, I've obtained quite a gorgeous collection! Perhaps I shall reveal it in the near future! What is your favorite nail polish?

fly like an eagle


Now that it actually feels like winter outside, I've had to pile on more and more layers,
so I figured I'd put on my Mommy's super warm Ralph Lauren cashmere poncho!

Quite a few years ago, my Grandma purchased this poncho as a present for my Mom, and with her always outstanding taste (and ability to pick out the best presents for everyone) it immediately became one of my Mommy's favorites, and now it is one of my favorites, too!

picture perfect



A few weeks ago, Sally sat for her senior portraits (she's all grown up, *tear*)!

Before every school picture we've ever taken, our Mommy would take pictures of us so we could "practice" our smiles (we would really ham it up for the camera when we were little!), and this year was no exception!

Picture day outfit selection is always a tough process being that you're forever immortalized in a yearbook.
But we think Sally made the right choice with Ralph Lauren ;)

What was your all-time favorite picture day outfit?!

falling

ruby & diamond rings & necklace from grandma, burberry bag (similar style here)


I am officially all ready for Fall (clothes-wise, that is. In my mind, I like to pretend that it's still summer). These past few weeks I have been shopping constantly, and I can't wait to wear all of the lovely attire that I purchased for this season! This shirt and these jeans are two of the newest additions to my closet (well, actually, to my floor since I have no room in my closet for anything..) and I absolutely love them!

Okay, it's been a really long time since I've done an outfit post. If you can't already tell, I have darkened my hair since my last post-I feel that it suits me better!
