NOVIS JE T’AIME: MY FIRST NEW YORK FASHION WEEK LOVE

I am a bit on the late side of posting about #nyfw but things were hectic while I was there, and quite frankly I wanted to enjoy the moment, take it all in, be inspired and meet as many wonderful people as I could (and so I did). NOVIS was the first presentation/show I was lucky to attend, once my name was checked and I was given the ok to walk in, it was as if I got magically transported to Paris in the 60’s and could smell the pain au chocolat with my cafe au lait, with the French music in the background, the beautiful red dresses, embellished dresses, blue velvet jumpsuit (Je Want so bad), leopard prints, and my oh my those bangs I have so long lusted after (though can never pull it off cause my hair is way too thick)! This designer has stolen my heart and made me so nostalgic for Europe (I was ready to buy my ticket back home right then and there) and of course Paris! It was such a romantic show and collection, just the perfect place to bring your date and secretly motivate him into buying you pretty much everything if he wants to see you again:) That wouldn’t be a bad first date right? So I leave you with a few images to see for yourselves how this young and talented designer Jordana Warmflash made us believe in dreams and romance again with these beautifully vintage inspired pieces! NOVIS Je T’aime! Stay tuned for more New York Fashion week posts and style! 

NOVIS fue el primer show/presentacion al que atendi en NY, no puedo decir nada mas que me enamore por completo de la coleccion inspirada por Paris, la era de los 60, un aire chic, femenino y romantico! Aqui teneis algunas fotos de los vestidos rojos, trajes y mono terciopelo azul, lazos exagerados, flequillos super vintage y Parisian chic! Hace falta decir mas? Creo que no, ahora os toca juzgar vosotras mismas;) Yo me quedo con el mono azul terciopelo! 

Fuchsia & Camouflage for NYFW

Yes the title has #nyfw (had to hashtag it), and no the images are not shot in NYC, why? Unfortunately my hubby couldn’t make it with me, and I only trust him to snap my looks (I will make sure he comes with me for next fashion week) So I decided to snap a few looks I knew I would be wearing while in NY, (a girl has to “improvisar”) and he snapped away so I could share them here with all of you. For this look I chose my new camo trousers from Zara, a fuchsia angora sweater by Sandro (both pieces were a last minute shopping spree in nyc two weeks ago), I paired this look with Maison Fabre gloves from Feminin Rascal, Stella McCartney booties, Twice as Warm beanie y mi new Stitch Collective clutch by Mayang Anggraeni! I know this should be a completely separate post, but if you haven’t heard of Stitch Collective I urge you take a moment (get a cup of tea, some cookies or go “loca” and get a lot a chocolate) and check out this fun and original site for all of us ladies who love bags/clutches and new/young/fresh emerging designers! “Designers sketch, you vote, Stitch creates”Go on darlings vote for your favourite designs!

Si el titulo lo dice bien claro, este look esta hecho para la semana de moda en Nueva York! Pero como mi marido no pudo venir conmigo:( Tuve que improvisar para poder compartir con vosotr@s algunos looks que tenia en mente para NY! Mi ultima visita a NY fue hace dos semanitas y tuve un momentito para ir de compras (yay) y aqui llevo las piezas que compre, tejanos “camouflage” de Zara, jersey fucsia de Sandro, y estos guantes de Maison Fabre de Feminin Rascal (mi tienda online preferida). El “beanie” es de Twice as Warm, botines plataforma de Stella McCartney, y bolso de Stitch Collective disenado por Mayang Anggraeni! Stitch Collective es un espacio para disenadores emergentes y nosotr@s votamos y decidimos que bolso se creara por Stitch Collective… A Votar!!!! 

ONASSIS NY

In New York city there are endless boutiques and stores to visit/shop or simply window shop, which is my usual cardio while in the city (or any other city I visit). Though this time the cardio was all about my hubby’s list of Men stores to hit before we head back to DC. Our last stop was Onassis which he obsessively talked about the whole day (I love how he loves clothes & style just as much as I do), he wanted to see their store, the coffeeshop, and their collection, and he was RIGHT! It was well worth it walking around in this Awful cold weather to land in this store, right as we walked in they welcomed us beautifully and offered a cup of coffee (oui oui say no more) and as soon as I told them I would love to take photos for my blog, they were more than happy to show me around the store, and tell me about the history and essence of the brand! Now that’s what I call customer service and genuinely nice people. The store  really gives off a relaxed and laid back vibe with dim lights, mellow colors, all wood everything, and my favorite spot their coffeeshop. Onassis mixes beautifully the American casual style with the innovative and clean Japanese influence, this brand is a perfect fusion of both continents, and all I can say is I wish they had women’s wear, though I did fall in love with their accessories, amazing leather wallets, and travel bags (evidenced in my pictured with one of the bags). “En Resumen” as we say in Spanish, if you are looking for timeless pieces for your men (or yourselves if there’s men reading this, which would make me super happy) Onassis is where you will find those soft button-downs, all sorts of flannels, and jeans/chinos that will never go out of style!  

SOHO ON MY MIND

Last week I tagged along with my husband to his business trip to New York, for the menswear shows Capsule and Project, and while we there we took some free time to wonder around Soho in search of the boutiques we had on our “to do list”! We did not take into consideration that it would be one of the coldest days of January, I forgot my gloves at home and literally thought my fingers were gonna lose all feeling! So I layered my way into the cold, and braved it with this look;) After all there isn’t any temperature that can stop me from wandering around Soho in search of my favorite stores (Maje, Sandro) and new ones we were ready to take on! Oh and thanks to my friend Mariana I braved another big mental NO NO, leather leggings, am in love and obsessed with these Halston ones! And with my new Thierry Lasry sunnies from Feminin Rascal, as I’ve mentioned before one of my favorite online stores to get my hands on the latest European designers!
