On Sunday, I popped by the Tracy Reese, DKNY, and Edun shows! For the day, I decided to focus on up and coming designer, Reuben Reuel. I love his African printed, peplumed tops and skirts! Love, love, love. The top was busy enough, so I kept everything else simple with a Zara pencil skirt, Christian Louboutin So Kate pumps, and a Chanel Boy bag from A Second Chance Resale. A lot of people have commented on Instagram and the site,…
So Fashion Week is a lot of fun! But as a Brookynite, it typically means heading to the city for hours at a time–which translates to me having to find places to post up and blog in between shows and events.

I (barely) shielded myself from the cold in a Zara coat, and completed my ensemble with Gianvito Rossi’s leather and perspex pumps. Though the Rossi’s are not great for navigating the snow, they’re surprisingly comfortable! I further accessorized with Hermes and Chanel Baubles from A Second Chance Resale. I can’t say enough amazing things…
Started from the Bottom: Claire’s 6 Tips on Breaking into Fashion
Someone asked in a prior post how I started in the biz, so I decided to give you a bit of insight on what I did to get here, and how I’ve navigated these treacherous yet stylish waters. In the very beginning, posing with Andre Leon Talley ca. 2005 (?). I had a thing for J.Crew. Andre said he liked it! He was probably just being nice.
