Happy Memorial Day Weekend!

Neon Winter

I scored this amazing parka with my friend at the Aloha Rag sample sale downtown. What a steal! I love wearing neon accents in Winter, it makes the cold days less dreary. This 3.1 Phillip Lim bag has been in heavy rotation since I got it. It fits everything. I love this color too. Details on everything below. Stay warm!

Art and Fashion at 5 Pointz

Posted on September 10, 2013 by thefashionminx

Hey guys! I am so excited about this post! I recently had the opportunity to shoot at 5 Pointz in Queens. It’s an awesome space where graffiti artists display their work. How amazing in this incredible street art? I was blown away by the talent displayed at 5 Pointz! Read more about 5 Pointz HERE.

For my shoot I chose a funky, urban inspired Fall look. Yes, it’s finally cool in NYC!! Thank God! Leopard was the theme for the day, and I took advantage of the crisp weather to break out my leopard calf hair boots and bag. The hot pink coat was the finishing touch- I have been WAITING to wear this coat all Summer! Details on what I am wearing, and where to buy them are below. 😉

But, first- here is a video I made showcasing the artists’ work, and what I wore. Enjoy!
XOXO

Indian Summer

Posted on December 21, 2012 by thefashionminx

The weather in NYC has been unseasonably warm, which is pleasant to walk around it, but scary at the same time for those of us worried about global warming. (like me) Nevertheless….it’s a great excuse to wear my favorite burgundy Balenciaga leather jacket. Similar HERE and HERE. Pants are Zara. I love the leopard print on them. Get similar looks HERE and HERE. I have been wearing my Pamela Love Tribal necklace almost every day since I got it.(See post HERE) It’s the perfect statement necklace, and it’s earthy and organic at the same time…..just my style. 😉 Check out Pamela Love’s other designs HERE.

P.S. Isn’t it strange how much it’s raining lately? During Winter? Shouldn’t it be snowing? Sigh….

What are you favorite looks this Winter?

White Fall Dress….two ways

Posted on November 14, 2012 by thefashionminx

We are experiencing an unusual heat wave in NYC lately. (By heat wave, I mean 50 degrees in November!) I bought this gorgeous beaded white dress from Zara, and I was planning on rocking it for Fall with thick tights. This pleasant weather,however, allowed me to wear the dress bare legged with my Rag & Bone boots. I couldn’t decide what coat to wear with it, so I decided to try out two different looks. First, I paired the dress with this incredible leopard coat I got from Nordstrom! What a great buy! It’s waterproof and super warm! A leopard coat is a staple every girl should have in her closet, and at this price, it’s worth it! Second, I tried it on with the sweater I bought at the Margiella for H&M preview I attended two weeks ago. (I love how designers are making their lines more affordable for the general public by doing collaborations!) I love the look of white on white as well. What was that rule about white after Labor Day? Yea….right…..so 10 years ago! LOL BTW, I am loving my Pamela Love medium tribal spike necklace! (Last seen HERE). It’s bold, unique, and makes any outfit more special!

Which look is your favorite?

Urban Jungle

Posted on November 12, 2012 by thefashionminx

I paired two of Fall’s biggest trends for a fresh look: metallics and burgundy. I found this awesome metallic skirt at Minusey for a great price. I think the skirt adds a great pop of color in this dark, dismal Fall weather! My burgundy quilted Balenciaga jacket is still my favorite Fall piece, and the color is just amazing. I shot these photos in Astoria where I live……LOVE this city! All photos by the amazing Katharine Andriotis. Details below on where to buy these items and recreate this look!
