Memo 198: How to Get Away with Two Capes

The question of the day when I wore this look during NYFW was "Is that one piece?"

Very similar to the way that I stack statement necklaces, it's important that the pieces complement each others. With the two capes featured in this look, the short cape version from Hugo Boss fits nicely over the longer H&M version and creates the illusion of just one piece.

The best thing about this kind of pairing is that you'll never run into yourself while strutting down your own concrete catwalk.

Memo 173: It's a Date!

These past couple of weeks, I've been having date night and what to wear on said date nights on my mind. I mean, I always feel like I never have anything to wear.  I often find myself sitting on the floor of my closet staring into space. Therefore, I need to plan ahead a little.  I'm trying to practice staying ready so that I don't have to get ready! The new Minute (Wo)Men.

When I put this floral and lace look together, I know that it would be perfect for brunch (with unlimited Mimosas, of course), the museum, or drinks at a lounge on a Sunday night. 

Oh and let's not forget to take notice of the open toe fur booties. Yes to the ma'am!

Do you have a upcoming casual date night? No worries, bring out those gold sequin pants and your favorite abstract art printed grey sweatshirt and get to it!

Oh, yeah, Happy belated Valentine's Day to you all! I hope it was everything that it should have been for you and more.  All last week, I was trying to come up with some not-so-typical date night ideas.

Here's what I came up with:

TWP Approved Date Night list

• Take a visit to your favorite local art museum and finish the date with brunch and unlimited mimosas
• Get active with an indoor rock climbing gym experience followed by a scenic lunch
• Get lifted in a hot air balloon and take in the views below
• Take a visit to your local bookstore and share life experiences over coffee
• Cuddle up under the stars while watching an outdoor movie with an impromptu picnic
• Relax your mind and let your conscience be free with joint spa appointments
• Get in the giving spirit with a shared volunteer activity

What say you? Do you have any not-so-typical date night ideas to add to the list? I would love to hear if you did anything particularly interesting for Valentine's Day #SpreadLoveItsTheBrooklynWay
