NYFW Fall 2012

Hello readers! This week is going to be CRAZY. Crazy with a capital Z. The blog will look a little different— fret not— to show you behind-the-scenes photos of every event I attend. I hope you enjoy following me around New York. The City Girl is back where she belongs!

               

Here is the lovely Coco Rocha, interviewing Derek Blasberg, Harper’s Bazaar Editor at Large, during the Independent Fashion Blogger’s Conference in SoHo. His advice? “Love your mothers. They keep you grounded, even if you don’t wanna be.”

I look forward to sharing more with you as this week goes on! Keep up with me on twitter & instagram for to-the-minute coverage.

My Style Icons

If you haven’t already seen what inspires my style on Pinterest, then you may not know which stylish females influence the outfits I wear every day.

What I love: 60s feminine tailored cuts; Parisian simplicity; old Hollywood glamor; Americana rock and roll; beachy bohemian hair. So what shall we call that? Ladylike with an edge? Jackie O meets Sophia Loren meets Annie Hall?

Celebrity Style Icons:  

    

Liv Tyler. Jessica Biel. Eva Mendes.

These film stars always look polished, feminine, and timeless whether they are on screen or off. The three blend my favorite fashion looks: a little rock and roll, a little European femininity, and a little tailored menswear. Get the look with a tortoise shell shades, peep toe heels, and a well fitting dress.

A City Girl Look to Love: Weekend Wear. The crocheted top & printed pant.

What’s easier than throwing on a great printed pant and timeless crocheted top? Not too much, City Girls. The effort required for this outfit idea is equal putting on a tee and yoga pants, but you will look infinitely more polished. Add some neutral sandals and a chunky gold ring to finish off the look.

Look 1: Forever 21 top // Clara Kasavina Monica ring // Matisse Joss wedges // Free People pant

Look 2: Anthropologie top // Citrine by The Stones ring // Zigi studded sandal // Jessica Hart pant

Look 3: Forever 21 top // Catherine Weitzman Gold Coral Reef ring // Giuseppe Zanotti wedges // Free people wide leg pant

Loving this fall silhouette from Beth Jones. Simple colors and lots of texture with the linen, silk, and lace create this “I just threw it on” look that still shows a little personality.
