Layers, Belgian Waffles, and girl’s day out ;-)

Posted on February 2, 2012 by thefashionminx

Today was a gorgeous day in NYC! The temperature went up to 60 degrees, and despite the high winds, it was a welcome break from the extreme cold weather we have been getting. I decided to have a girls day out in the city with my best friend Debbie. We wanted to hit the Nanette Lepore sample sale (details on what I purchased in a later post), get Belgian Waffles, and enjoy the gorgeous weather. For those outside of NYC, there is an amazing Belgian Waffle truck in Chelsea. This truck is there 6 days a week, and serves up genuine Belgian Waffles, with unlimited toppings, (including a ground up cookie paste that is to die for!), fruit, ice cream, and melted Belgian chocolate. YUM!!! Of course, we had to have everything on our waffles! LOL

I decided to layer up, wearing my rabbit fur vest under my Kenneth Cole coat, so that I was still warm in the high winds, but I would be able to remove my coat if necessary and just wear the vest. My Acne Pistol boots are perfect for walking around the city for 8 hours, super comfortable!!! But the icing on the cake? My gorgeous Alexander Wang Rocco bag with rose gold hardware! Get it while you can! The rose gold hardware sells out right away! It’s so perfect because it goes with both gold and silver. Amazing bag!!

Today was a fun day!

Christmas in New York! Professional shoot with Katharine Andriotis

Posted on December 19, 2011 by thefashionminx

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!

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

Posted on December 4, 2011 by thefashionminx

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.)

Final Hurrah for Fall Fashion

Posted on November 27, 2011 by thefashionminx

Today was a gorgeous Fall day in NYC! It was unseasonably warm for the end of November, and I loved it!! Today was the perfect excuse to wear my Balenciaga leather jacket. I am definitely a leather jacket kinda girl. I own about 10 leather jackets that I rotate and wear as much as possible when the weather permits. In NYC,we only get about two months of really good” leather jacket wearing” weather in the Fall, so you better believe I take advantage of a day like today when I can!! I scored this beauty at a discount off www.Hgbagsonline.com. The owner Erica has amazing deals on everything “Balenciaga”. I had mentioned when I started this blog that I love mixing designer pieces with low priced items. I have always loved splurging on really good shoes, jackets, and bags. ( My boots by the way are Acne Pistol Boots, and they are by far the most stylish and comfortable boots I have ever owned!….buy them here.) I firmly believe that if you invest in high end, quality items that you will have forever, you will be able to buy everything else at a discount, but always look like a million bucks. I plan on sharing some amazing ebay finds, and killer deals that I found online in my next blog post…..

In the meantime, enjoy my photos from today at Astoria Park! xoxoxoxoxo

What a breathtaking day in the park today! I love Astoria park for the view, atmosphere and people. There were weddings in the park today, kids playing, baseball games, and people with their dogs……like this adorable Husky that we met! The leaves on the ground were the perfect touch to this Fall day.

I paired my bright red Balenciaga city bag with this neutral gray dress from Forever 21, black tights, Acne boots, and my Balenciaga leather jacket. I love how the red bag adds a pop of color. Oh, and I took out my Lady Gaga for Barney’s sunglasses for the first time! I love the yellow, I think it works in for all seasons! What are you favorite Fall outfits and colors? Do share! xoxoxoxo

Cold night in Times Square

Posted on November 19, 2011 by thefashionminx

The temperature in NYC is dropping. Perfect excuse to wear my new Mackage “Joey” puffy jacket. LOVE. It keeps me super warm, it’s comfortable, and I love the little peep holes for your thumbs. 😉 So glad I grabbed it on sale in Bloomingdales.

I also took out my new Celine luggage tote for the first time. What a great bag! It’s my first Celine, and I totally understand the craze over the line. The style is amazing, it fits everything, and the craftsmanship is to die for. Great investment piece.
