After being completely-underdressed-and-therefore-freezing for my walking tour of colonial NYC yesterday, I’ve decided to post about transitional dressing, a.k.a the times of year when weather.com says it’s 65 degrees outside, and you step outside and wish they had said ‘65 degrees, give or take 20′. Here are some tips for moving smoothly from season to season:
1. Layer!! This is essential because you never know whether a building will have the AC or the heat pumping. I’m almost always wearing a combo of tank, cardigan, scarf, with each piece coming and going throughout the day, pairing with the appropriate jacket and shoes. (see below)
2. Buy a trenchcoat. I resisted the lure of the trench for many years, until I made one of the best purchases ever when I bought my GAP trench with the bright yellow lining and removable gray flannel layer. I seriously wear this every day. It keeps me the right amount of warm, covers my bases if it starts to rain, and best of all, make anything you wear underneath look good. Run, don’t walk, and get a trench!
3. Throw a scarf in your purse. I have a collection of scarves for warm days, freezing days, and days in between. The right scarf (or any scarf for that matter) looks cool and does wonders for regulating body temperature.
4. Don’t throw on sandals and a mini the second it gets a bit warmer. Or, to be more clear, 70 degrees is not shorts and flip flop weather! I know you’re excited, but wait a few weeks to break out the gladiators.
5. During these iffy months check the temp before you leave the house. It probably won’t be accurate but at least you’ll have some idea…
6. Tote in your tote a headband for humid days when it starts to pour and your ‘do gets ruined, and some sweet shades for when the sun peeks through.
(To be continued, when I think of more tips…)
I had the rare privilege Tuesday night of hearing Anna Wintour – editor in chief of Vogue, global fashion icon, the One who rules the industry… – be interviewed at the 92nd St Y here in NYC. I jumped at this chance because although Anna’s face appears everywhere, I rarely hear her powerful voice, and this seemed like the perfect opportunity to hear this mysterious figure be de-masked, so to say. The evening was an interesting one; as soon as Anna came out and was answering her first question, 2 people stood up with a huge poster and started screaming that Anna wears fur and features fur in Vogue, and therefore she is a murderer. Needless to say they were escorted out. Anna took the whole incident in stride, as if it happens to her every day, which I bet it actually does. OK down to the good stuff: she was wearing a dark floral printed straight dress, a yellow cardigan with pretty puffed sholders, and her signature bob haircut. She was very well spoken and had a lot to say. Anna is clearly passionate about her job and the fashion industry as a whole, and she truly strives for excellence which makes every day a challenge. She regrets not going to college. Her father was a very well known newspaper editor in London, and so she chose magazines instead of newspapers so she could pave her own way in the world of print. I found the interview very interesting (although the dude kept asking her the same questions over and over, but then again she can be intimidating, I’m sure), specifically Anna’a focus on the industry as a whole, and not on individual designers or clothes. At the end of the day she knows it’s a business that affects a LOT of people. She also explained how the magazine is evolving due to these economic times, and that for the first time in 20 years as the Chief she finally asks the price before she puts something in the magazine. It was really cool to hear an icon speak, a little scary when those crazies stood up and went crazy, and really fun to see what everyone in the audience was wearing…

Godzilla Against MechaGodzilla Eeep! Yesterday we heard news thata new line from our beloved boho designer, Anna Sui, would be hitting the racks at Target. And though there are no pics, we do know that Anna is hitching her wagon to the stars of Gossip Girl for inspiration. The line will be out around August….just in time for back to school. Well played, Anna, well played. Our prediction is Gothic prints mixed with precious prim….any thoughts?
I have a confession to make, m’friends. For being a student of fashion, I have fallen behind in my Spring season homework. No matter how many fashion shows and showrooms I went to, I was just not in the mood to pull my look together for Spring. But I am happy to report that I have extended a style challenge to myself and now to all of you. As summer approaches, I am inspired to take the hodgepodge of basics that is my closet and transform it into an endless parade of globally infused combos. I have been inspired by the eclectic mishmash of Marc Jacobs and Lanvin! So here is the challenge: 1) I will only wear clothing that I already own. 2) I am only allowed to buy 2 new accessories for the season (and seeing that spring is all about statement pieces…I will have to choose wisely).
My first order of business is to come up with a way to recreate the ULTIMATE statement necklace! I am thinking COLOR and DETAIL! Check out my inspiration pics from the runways of Marc Jacobs and Lanvin.
Suggestions are welcome! Stay tuned, biRdies!
