Christmas in New York! Professional shoot with Katharine Andriotis

Tis the season!!!  Can you feel the Christmas spirit in the air?  I can! New York City is decked out for the holidays, and there is no place more beautiful in the world this time of year!!!  I was lucky enough to do a photo shoot in midtown Manhattan with the extremely talented Katharine Andriotis. Katharine is a stock photographer, and her work is just stunning.  You can check out her website here:  Katharine Andriotis Photography

I decided to wear my bright blue Marc Jacobs coat because I wanted to feel electric. 😉  It totally put me in a festive spirit.  Hope you enjoy the photos!

The perfect holiday gifts for the “FASHIONISTA” in your life…….

BOOKS FOR THE FASHIONISTA IN YOUR LIFE

 


KATE MOSS PAPER DOLL Mel Simone Elliott

Ever wonder what to buy for that fashionable friend you have…..that seems to already have EVERYTHING? LOL  Or what about that friend who LOVES fashion, and has a passion for it?  Or, lastly, what about your freind with a fashion blog? LOL (hint, hint!)  Well I think these beautifully written books, with tips on style, gorgeous photographs, and guides on how to dress to show off your best self, are THE PERFECT GIFT! 
I saw Lady Gaga’s book in person when I was at the GAGA Workshop at Barneys. It’s jam packed with amazing, breathtaking photographs that show off the pop icon’s unique style.  Perfect gift for the fan of Gaga, or simply for someone who loves fashion in general.
That Alexander McQueen book, “Savage Beauty”, is tops on my wishlist this year. It sold out at the exhibit at the Met this year, but luckily you can buy it online.  It’s a great tribute to a fashion icon, an innovator and genius in the design world.  A MUST HAVE for any fashion lover.  Best. Coffee. Table. Book. Ever.
“Kate Moss-Paper Doll”, “Style Book”, “I Love your Style”, and “Little Dictionary of Fashion”  are all affordable books that are fun, quirky, and great for those coworkers you have that love fashion, and they also make great stocking stuffers.  Everyone loves getting a cool new book to read and these in particular are great because of their images.
Lastly “American Fashion”, and “American Fashion travel” are just insanely beautiful books, loaded with images that take you on a journey through years of American Fashion. “American Fashion” takes you though the last 70 years of fashion, and “American Fashion Travel” is a collection of personal travel photos and scrapbooks from some of America’s most beloved designers.  Both are visually stunning books! 
On the top of my wish list??  The Lady Gaga book, and the Alexander McQueen book…..there is a place on my stone coffee table for both of them….in case anyone needed ideas on what to get me for the Holidays.  Hee Hee. 😉
Love you all, and Happy Holidays!

“Get the look for less” in action! Leather jacket with fur panel


As you all remember, I did a post a few days ago about how you can get the look for less. You can read that post here.  Well, I finally had the chance to sport my new Adrienne Landau fur vest, (that I scored for a crazy price on ebay, if you remember!), with my Mike and Chris Leather jacket! Thank God the weather was nice enough today for me to wear it! I paired it with a dress, tights, Acne boots, and my Celine tote, and I was good to go for a day in the city!  What do you think of the look? (By the way, if you haven’t yet, invest in fleece lined tights for winter! They are super warm, and they are still thin and slimming. I love THESE Plush ones you can buy on SHOPBOP.)

Wanna play in the park?

I took a ride with my boyfriend to his hometown of Bayonne, NJ today. It was really chilly today…..Winter is coming! 😉 I wore my Mackage coat, and did I mention that I LOVE it? Not only is it stylish and comfortable, but it’s SO WARM!  I also took out my Alexander Wang Leopard Diego for a spin. Great bag.  I love everything about it….the shape, studs on bottom, and leopard print.

My boyfriend and I decided to play in the park before we went back home…….so much fun!!!

I love these boots.  So comfortable!  Perfect for walking all day, or playing n the park.  😉 Hope you all had an amazing day! xoxo
