New York Fashion Week: Day 2#

Day two of fashion week, and the fabrics are floating, caffeine is flowing, selfies are flying from NY to LA to UK and every un-abbreviatable city in between (yes, I’m aware that ‘in between’ is largely saltwater, but the Little Mermaid probably follows MB Fashion Week’s Instagram account too. I may be here, in my quaint little London apartment, watching the live feed while gorging myself on coffee and far too many biscuits, rather than enjoying/suffering in the hustle of New York’s seasonal moment in the spotlight, but my opinions on what the runway has to offer this season are just as strong as if I were a sunglasses-donning, front-row fashion celebrity. I mean, that’s the whole point, right? Fashion is there as stimulation, be it artistically, inspirationally, controversially…

If Only: Outfit of the Day 8#

Today is a Net-a-Porter day. It would have to be one of – if not the top fashion-window-shopping site that I like to frequent. Is I could afford to shop there, it would even top ASOS. It seems, don’t send much colour my way today. I’ve always been a big fan of the cute-dress-and-leather combination; throwing an edgier, harder twist on my signature dresses, and I couldn’t help but fall in love with this Vivienne Westwood jacket the moment I saw it. No horrible buttons/zips that bulge in all the wrong places! The scarf is the only pop of colour that I’m interested in. It’s a monochrome day. Tie it to my handbag in a pretty bow, and I’m a happy bunny indeed.

1. Vivienne Westwood Anglomania Renee Felt-Paneled Leather Jacket. £595. Available here.

2. Valentino Bow-Embellished Wool-Blend Crepe Mini-Dress. £1725. Available here.

3. Saint Laurent Paris Patent-Leather Point-Toe Pumps. £485. Available here.

4. Jason Wu Daphne Floral-Print Leather Tote £1525. Available here.
