High Fashion in Machine City

Javitz Center bike show-The Fashion MinxWe 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

Javitz Center bike show- The Fashion MinxThere 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. 🙁

Julie at bike showJavitz Center bike showChris and Pedja at bike showMy 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!

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

PAINTING AND MODELThe model for the painting was at the show! Too cool!

Bike show paintingsbike show leopard bikeNaturally,  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)

Javitz Center bike showI 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.

Leopard Love

Leopard LoveLeopard LoveLeopard LoveStuart Weitzman Leopard bootiesLeopard LoveFallon chokerLeopard LoveLeopard LoveLeopard Love Leopard Love Leopard Love 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!

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!

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!

The Fashion Minx and The Sequin Cinderella in NYC!!!

Fashion Minx and Sequin Cinderella

So excited to finally meet Nicola in person!!!

I was lucky enough to meet and work with the fabulous, and well known Irish blogger Nicola from The Sequin Cinderella! This was Nicola’s first trip to NYC, and she loved it! For our shoot, we chose Times Square, the heart of NYC as our location.  We chose to wear skirts and dresses mixed with boots which give off a tough/feminine look- which is perfect for this city. We hit Sephora, walked around Times Square, and had fun with some police officers! Of course, we also talked shopping, finding deals in the city, and ways to protect yourself from the harsh NYC winter temps while still showcasing your style! Read on for details on on what we were wearing and our tips for chic winter style! xoxoxo

It was a very cold night, which called for a lot of layering! I am a huge fan of fur vests because you can layer them under, or above a coat or jacket! (That night I did both)  I wore my blue feather vest from Topshop.  I love the texture of it, and it’s super warm!  There are tons of adorable fur vests out there, both real and faux. I also love THIS ONE, THIS ONE,  and THIS ONE. Nicola wore a gorgeous lace dress from Zara with studded boots by Chiara Ferragni. I love the look of a feminine lace dress mixed with tough biker style boots.  Similar dresses HERE, and HERE.  Also, I love these studded boots by ASH.   I went with a cobalt blue theme, wearing my blue Celine (similar bag HERE) , blue J Crew top, and my blue bubble necklace. Oh….and my cobalt blue YSL ARTY RING.  (They were recently discontinued, so if you are lusting after one, get one now!!)

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
