Kate Spade

Normally I am not a fan of Kate Spade but I ventured into the store on 5th Ave the other day with my friend and found some classic items I fell in love with.

this headband looked so great on especially with bangs. Plus it is a perfect accessory for holiday outings and parties!

this bag has a classic formed shape with a fun splash of color, what a great mix!

these planners are adorable, useful, and professional!

Happy Holidays from Marc!

I love this picture of Marc Jacobs it makes me so excited for the holidays! And what better way to celebrate the season than with a new Marc Jacobs item to spice up your holiday wardrobe. Here are some of my favorite Marc by Marc Jacobs pieces right now.







Rag and Bone Men's

I love these two scarves from rag and bone. These scarves go great with a casual tee or cardigan. Pair one with a blazer or peacoat for a more formal look. They are both classic and with a subtle edge and a great christmas present! 

Alexa Chung

Alexa has mastered a personal style that is original, girly, spunky, and creative. Her looks usually consist of some interesting pieces mixed with a classic item. I can always count on Alexa for some fashion inspiration.

9/11 at ICP


I went to the “Remembering 9/11” photography exhibit at the International Center of Photography. The exhibit depicts the aftermath of the World Trade Center attacks. Unlike most exhibits I have seen, this one was heavily influenced by the artist rather than just the curator. Reading the artist’s message along with the curator’s message helped me understand photographer Francesc Torres’ point of view more clearly. She shared that her apartment was only a few hundred yards away from the towers and described the buildings, remains, and people as “literally vanished”. This harsh, truthful statement displayed how the artist was emotionally connected to the photographs and made the exhibit more personal and moving. I found it interesting that she described the composites of the building “heavy but fragile”. This description not only showed how delicate the composites were but also related to the woe and sorrow that filled the room. This exhibit displayed a heavy, life-changing event that was hard to reface. Although the photographs may overwhelm the viewers with several emotions, it was important to spend time appreciating them and reflecting on the past and how it still affects us. 

Exhibit open until Jan 8, 2011
