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.

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.

New York Style Diary: An Anna Sui Metallic Chiffon Jacquard and Burnout Velvet Dress, Vintage Cap, and Michael Kors Booties

New style diary alert! Yesterday, I interviewed with my girl Renae of In Her Shoes Blog for her video series, then popped by Lala Anthony’s book signing in Tribeca.
