Hello Mrs. Darcy: Wildfox Fall 2014 Show

Kimberly Gordon, the Creative Director of Wildfox, debuted at NYFW for F/W 14/15. The collection was titled  “Sense & Eccentricity”, was inspired by Jane Austen and evoked an English countryside feel. 

The collection features a mixture of core Wildfox styles with fresh period-inspired designed. Layered silhouettes speak to the girl with the autonomous style who feels confident and sexy in dressing for herself. Denim washes in vintage true blue gives a balance to the airy pastels and chunky sweater knits: the perfect downtown chic look for fall! 

A few of my favs are below:

Another highlight for me was the cupcake/rice crispy treat lol 

Until Sat!

Step Into A World

The past few months, my style has been one big yo yo. The weather is not helping at all with the random blizzard that happened on Monday.  White tailored blazer with purple heels one day, and tights, an oversized sweater for three days straight.

The yo yo styling for me has stopped for now. Why you ask? My answer: It's Fashion Week.

It's the time to dress like it's not 5 degrees outside and the streets are slippery (yes I know in NYC this is what is going down right now) and say yes to wearing the highest heel you have and some Solange spotting! A little escape from the real world, ha!

I am stoked for the presentations/shows I received so far! Here are a few of them:

I will be posting on the blog and on instagram @kosi27. Thank you to the PR firms who have invited me.

Kos' NYFW S14 Entry # 3: Patricia Field & St.Wobil

Hey guys

So the last day of NY fashion week, I did a slight detour. My friend Kimanie invited Vicky and I to St. Wobil's Spring 14 collection, a show he was modeling in. I've  never seen Kimanie model in a show before so I decided to skip Patricia Field this year and give moral support. BUT, thank goodness for Shanna and Rachel for taking pictures for me to share with all of you, thanks gals!

Everything out-of-the-ordinary at the Bowery as the most eccentric New Yorkers closed out fashion week at Patricia Field Boutique. Patricia Field who always does things a little differently, held an event that was in celebration of the boutique’s California designers. What a nice way to mix it up for NYFW!

St. Wobil was refreshing, the collection was split with men's first and then women's closing the show. The highlight for me was the sequin African prints, I have been raised on African prints, it was great to see a modern twist on it!

The highlight of the men's portion for me was the outerwear

Here's Kimanie, so proud of you man!

NYFW September 13 was a blast, see you in February!

My inner Saint Laurent

I'm am becoming huge tailor freak! I love blazers, trousers, and vests!  When I was at the tents last Saturday, I was in a Saint Laurent mood as you can see: mostly black, sleek, comfortable, and chic.  It doesn't hurt that I had my beloved Saint Laurent Muse handbag as well. 

BB Dakota Blazer, Helmut Lang Tee, Helmut Lang knit pant, Saint Laurent Muse bag, Topshop heels, Ray-Ban Sunglasses

I paired up this blazer from BB Dakota with my favorite Helmut Lang tee and knit pants. This blazer is becoming my new favorite, very tomboy, but still feminine due to it's slim fit. 

I have to thank my friend Vicky for helping me select the shoes. When I was getting ready, a few things were going on:  I was caffeine deprived, in a rush, hungry, and couldn't make a decision lol thank goodness for Iphones to snap quick pics. I was happy I wore them as the weather is getting cooler I won't be able to.

NYFW is coming to a close I will be reporting on one more show: Patricia Field! I can't wait to see what she has in store, see who arrives, and network!

Kos' NYFW S14 Entry # 2: Mara Hoffman & Charlotte Ronson

Hey guys!

I spent my Saturday at the tents, it was great running into people who you have been threatening to get a drink with, ha! But seriously it was great!

My first show was Mara Hoffman, she is the queen on exotic prints and swimwear in my book. "There's a Rainbow Warrior moment happening here,” she said backstage before her show started. 

I love that term, happiness all day!  I was so honored to get an invite, I was running super late but managed to get there in time and snap a few pictures. 

Also, I've included official pictures of my favorite looks:

Saturday evening, I attended Charlotte Ronson's S14 presentation, the collection was inspired by the playful souciance of a French gamine. The collection was tongue-in-cheek-sweet with the urban city as the perfect background. Ronson's girl this season is a mix of pretty tomboy with motor jackets and overalls. She add a hint of femininity with cut outs and floral prints. I personally loved her handbags, they screamed out fun and it's been a constant theme for designers for NYFW, for the clothes to have fun. 

I hung around Lincoln Center and was happy to have my dear friend Vicky join me.  We both had the same idea with keeping our outfits chic but minimalistic at the same time. Vicky's jacket was everything!

What was great about Mara Hoffman and Charlotte Ronson was that they are two contemporary brands that included models from different ethnicity's in their shows. Few contemporary brands I've seen at fashion week don't have much variety in the models, yesterday was refreshing. 

The theme for Spring 14 is fun, happiness, variety and not taking ourselves so seriously, I can dig it!
