New York Fashion Week SS 2013....Geneva

D.I.Y. superstar Geneva Vanderzeil from A Pair and a Spare blog, Lincoln Centre, NYC, September 2012.

I thought I would post this photograph of Geneva as inspiration for those who are still trying to decide on something to wear on NYE. Such a pretty, fun party look (with pieces that are probably already in your wardrobe) topped off with the sweetest bow. NYE is the perfect excuse to wear something fabulous on your head!

Recreate Geneva's look (kind of):

Miu Miu Glittered bow suede headband, Johnny Loves Rosie chiffon bow headband, ASOS Cat Ears headband, Eugenia Kim Milous embellished gold-tone headband, Johnny Loves Rosie polka dot bow headband, Topshop beaded mouse ears aliceband

p.s. Most of you will already know this but Geneva's book "DIY Fashionista: 40 stylish projects to re-invent and update your wardrobe" came out in October. Congratulations Geneva!

Paris Men's Fashion Week SS 2013....Ursina

Ursina Gysi, after Maison Martin Margeila (men's), Paris, June 2012.

Oh My. Those. Boots. 

My conversation with Ursina went along these lines - Me: Ooooo I love those boots Ursina! Where are they from? Erdem?!  Ursina: Maison Martin Margiela. (Um, yeah, so that was when I wished the ground would swallow me up a little bit.....I mean, I don't think that Erdem has even shown a collection with knee high boots - let alone in this print! I really need to just stick to the photography side of things I think ;)

Recreate Ursina's Look (kind of):

Vince roll sleeve ribbed sweater, J.Crew cashmere sweater, Joie Christelle sweater 

BB Dakota vega skirt, Miu Miu wool skirt

Statement boots: Nicholas Kirkwood boots, Jimmy Choo python knee boots or Diane von Furstenberg Shelly boots
