Snowy Saturday

Posted on January 27, 2013 by thefashionminx

Happy Saturday from frozen NYC!! We got a blanket of snow last night, and it was so pretty, that I had to go into our backyard and take some photos before it melted. It was about 15 degrees today, and the only way to stay warm is to layer! I wore a t shirt layered under a thick knit sweater, both from Zara. I also layered a rabbit fur vest over my parka for extra warmth. ( My parka was last seen in this post, and the fur vest was last seen In this post) How are you keeping warm in this cold weather?? I hope you all have a cozy weekend! Hot chocolate, blankets, and movies are my choices in these temperatures.;-)
XOXOXO

High Fashion in Machine City

Posted on January 22, 2013 by thefashionminx

We spent this past Sunday at the Motorcycle show at the Javitz Center. What gorgeous bikes! I especially loved this yellow one. Think it matches my outfit? LOL

There is something so badass about riding a motorcycle in a skirt and heels. I had images of myself hightailing it out of NYC on my yellow bike-very Bonnie and Clyde. Too bad I don’t know how to ride bikes. 🙁

My boyfriend Chris, and his good friend Pedja had the chance to try out some awesome bikes. Although, this one was more like a cross between a bike and a car. Can’t believe it’s street legal!

My Celine bag was perfect to lug around all my stuff, and to carry around any goodies I decided to buy while there. 😉

Gorgeous handmade jewelry made from hematite. I especially loved the rainbow bracelets.

Table full of patches, and hand painted helmets…………

Of course, this pink bike caught my eye.

I even found a pink helmet to match 😉

I LOVED the Harley-Davidson art by UHL Studios! Gorgeous artwork! I was tempted to take something home!

This was one of my favorites.

The model for the painting was at the show! Too cool!

Pedja almost took this large one home………. (The painting….not me ;-))

Naturally, I was attracted to this bike with the leopard seat. LOVE the copper elements also. So retro. It’s gorgeous! I would even love to have it on display in our apt, next to my leopard coats and bags. (Chris said no to this idea. LOL)

I didn’t take any bikes home, but maybe next time. 😉 I love the pop of floral in my skirt against the black I was wearing. I love mixing things like black motorcycle boots with floral patterns to combine masculine with feminine. I thought this was the perfect look for a bike show.
XOXOXO

Leopard Love

Posted on January 20, 2013 by thefashionminx

As I have told you before………I LOVE leopard. So, when these Stuart Weitzman backflip booties in leopard went on sale at Zappos, I had to buy them! Truthfully, I had been lusting after these boots since last year, but the price tag stopped me. When they went on sale though, I had to cave! And, believe it or not, they are comfortable! And, they match perfectly with my J Crew Edie clutch that I also scored on sale. Sadly, the leopard version is sold out now, but similar gorgeous leopard clutches are HERE, and HERE. Today was actually a beautiful, warm day in NYC. By warm, I mean 50s, but it’s January! That feels like Summer to me!! It gave me a chance to rock my Balenciaga quilted jacket, with a fur vest on top. Again, for GREAT PRICES on Balenciaga, visit HG BAGS!! Email Erica and tell her you read about her site on my blog! Her prices are half off retail!! Too bad next week is back to cold. LOL Happy Weekend!

Sweet Friday- Cupcakes and Camouflage

Posted on January 12, 2013 by thefashionminx

We spent a very sweet night at Martha’s Bakery in Astoria. 😉

The cakes and cupcakes here are simply amazing.

Strawberry please………..

I went on a cupcake date tonight with my incredible boyfriend, (who also happens to be my photographer). We love Martha’s Bakery in our neighborhood! The baked goods are made fresh daily and rival almost any bakery you can name. My favorite is the red velvet. 😉 It was a very rainy night, so I went casual in my skinny jeans, and brightened up the look with a neon cashmere sweater from J Crew, under a camo studded jacket from Zara. I love mixing patterns and colors. I am also loving neon lately, as you can see from my nails, and latest blog posts. Maybe it’s because it’s so dark lately in NYC…….. wearing bright colors just seems to make you feel happier. 😉 Hope you have a fabulous weekend!

On the roof

Posted on January 11, 2013 by thefashionminx

Today was a mild Winter day, I love that! My Three Floor fur parka finally arrived in the mail. I have been lusting after this coat for months, and when it finally went on sale at Free People, I bit the bullet and bought it. So glad I did! The bottom half actually zips off to a jacket, and that is how I chose to wear it today. I also love wearing my Plush fleece lined tights in Winter. They are super warm, and allow you to wear skirts and dresses in Winter weather without being cold. Oh, and you can grab these gorgeous leopard gloves at J Crew on sale! Every woman need some leopard in her life. 😉 We shot today on our roof. I love NYC. Happy Thursday!

Metallic Sunday

Posted on January 7, 2013 by thefashionminx

Happy Sunday. 😉 I spent my Sunday with my amazing boyfriend in our neighborhood. It was chilly today, but not too cold. Yay! I scored these amazing metallic jeans at Forever 21! (Can you believe it? So affordable!) In fact, my hat, jeans, and sweater are all from Forever 21, and probably only cost a total of $55 for everything! Who said you can’t look good on a budget? My Mackage coat is an ebay find, for 50 percent off. I love their coats, they are so warm and stylish. We ended our day at our favorite Pizza place in Astoria. Yum. Great way to end a Sunday. How was your weekend?
