Green with Envy: SJP

(All images via ELLE magazine)

My girl has gone and done it again. My undeniable admiration and love for Sarah Jessica Parker is alive and well. She's owning the January 2011 issue of ELLE magazine and making me completely jealous of what an amazing businesswoman, actress, fashionista and mama she is!

SJP was recently named President and Chief Creative Officer at Halston and Halston Heritage (remember all the amazing pieces she wore in SATC2?). Is there anything this woman can't do? Sarah had this to say about her new role at Halston:

"Please know this now: I will never do this for a title. I will never dip in and out of this. I’ll do it like everything else I’ve ever done. I’ll be involved down to the splitting of the atom."

Her words are just the inspiration I need today!

Fall in the City

I can't imagine a more wonderful place than New York for ringing in the fall season. These images of Karlie Kloss for the September issue of Vogue Japan certainly bring that dream to life. My favorites from this shoot include the cape in photo one, the shoes in photo seven, and the earrings in photo nine.

NYFW at a Glance

(Ralph Lauren: The Great Gatsby Revisited)

Fashion week came to a close last week, and I'm sure most of you were following along the whole time just like me! This week I'm featuring some of my favorite moments/shows/styles from NYFW. While each designer definitely had their own point of view, there were a few common threads running through all the shows. I'm especially excited about the prints and pastels that seem to be the trend for spring.

Below are a few of my favorite collections at a glance. . .

Preen: Patchwork and Pastels

Christian Siriano: Coral Crush

Fashionable Weekend Wishes

As New York Fashion Week geared up this yesterday, I can't help but be on fashion overload! Isn't it so exciting to live one season ahead when it comes to clothes? I can't wait to see what the designers have created for spring.

For now, though, I'm reveling in the coming of fall. The breeze is turning just a little cooler everyday, and I'm finding the need to layer more in the mornings when I leave for work. There's nothing more refreshing than those first few days of fall when the air takes on a crisp, new feeling!

Wishing each of you a wonderful weekend celebrating to your heart's content!

A Tale of Two Cities

If no one else can be thanked for making us fall in love with New York and Paris, Carrie Bradshaw certainly can. I've long had a love affair with New York, and the fashion fantasy world of Sex and the City just added to the glamour and ritz. Sure, there's no New York writer living the life of Carrie on a one-relationship-column salary alone. But a girl can dream, right?!

I came across the first image below on tumblr one day. Upon clicking back to the original source I was greeted by the most charming blog, Paris vs New York: A Tally of Two Cities. There's absolutely nothing I don't love about these lovely pieces of art- they're fun, charming and cheeky while reminding us of all the little bits and pieces we love about the City of Light and the Big Apple.

I took inspiration from Vahram's art and created this collection. The best of both worlds, if you ask me!
