Memo 196: Planes, Trains and Fashion Shows

__________________________________________________________________________________

Remember how I like feeling like a super hero? I talked about it way back when here. Intro this green cape from Nasty Gal. It catches wind with the best of them.

I wanted to incorporate a 70s vibe by adding the See by Chloe blouse and the striped color blocked skirt from Zara. This season, it's all about a nod to a decade that brought us bell bottoms and Farrah Fawcett feathered hair. Say that three times in a row.

Speaking of hair, I shaved the sides and it has been a LIFE SAVER. This style is super easy to maintain to combat the random torrential downpours and NY humidity.

Memo 176: Sweating the Denim Trend

To: All

From: Me

Subject: Denim + Sweats

Guess who's loving the denim trend this season? Me!

Let me explain. Denim can look good whether your pieces are from H&M or Gucci especially with the help of a good tailor. It's pretty amazing on tons of different body types and there are so many ways to incorporate the trend with all of the denim pieces that are available. 

I paired my denim pieces with a pair of H&M sweatpants and neutral accessories. I initially wanted to go for a completely all denim look but the color of my denim pieces neither complimented nor coordinated with each other. They just didn't get along! 

Trend Tip: Pay attention to your denim colors when opting for an all denim look.

Oh, it's casual Tuesday, baby!

I pulled out my favorite pieces from the Peter Pilotto for Target collection. I'm almost guaranteed to get the sweatshirt from every designer collaboration. They're so CAYUTE!

I paired this one with some comfy Madewell denim and the Peter Pilotto for Target shoes. I added some accessories to make it look like I cared, because I do.

Make it a great day, folks!

I know I may look a little like something out of a comic book BUT this Maison Martin Margiela for H&M dress is probably one of the most comfortable things that I own!

This dress is excellent for the airport, a trip to the mall, movies, dinner, or let's say for something like standing outside on the National Mall in 40 degrees for the 2013 Inauguration of President Barack Hussein Obama (2 Termz!). It's good for just about anything. I live for versatile (and comfortable) pieces...

In the land of stilettos and platforms, poor little innocent feet are constantly put into uncomfortable situations. Red bottoms, nude bottoms, high bottoms...oh my!

And then came along the Sperry Top Sider Shearwater Navy Boots to save the day. I believe they have been lined with little clouds and angel wings. Hmph, I wonder how they did that...
