NY Fashion Week and Fabulous Shoes

My favorite fashion commentator, Bill Cunningham for the New York Times, snapped some street photos of women attending the fabulousness that is Fashion Week. This particular feature was focused on the beautiful shoes the fashionistas were rocking, but my favorite group of his pictures show ladies doing the shoe switch-a-roo before and after visiting the Fashion Week tents. I love how New Yorkers have no shame, these ladies stopped in the middle of the sidewalks to go from comfort to glam and then back again all for the sake of looking fabulous. All I can say is "I know that's right!" walking in heels in NY is not a game.

Shopping in My Mother's Closet

Here are some new-old pieces I discovered in mom's closet while I was home visiting. I love the braided belt and can't wait to rock the red pocketbook. She must've been hiding them from me because I don't remember seeing these and I am always going through her old stuff.

Megan Park

The photography as well as the fashion is so great in these images that I had a hard time deciding what category to post them under. I totally dig this collection from Megan Park.

Vintage Lacroix

I was going through my closet cleaning out some stuff (which takes me forever because I try on everything to make sure I hate it enough to get rid of) and came across one of my jackets that I adore. I had no need to try this jacket on because there's no way in h*ll that I would give it away, but I put it on to share. This vintage Christian Lacroix jacket, part of a suit, was given to me by mom years ago, I think I was a teen. I remember looking at it and thinking "you're crazy, I would never wear that," I'm sure I said it with that teenage disgust I would give my parents who I thought were just here to ruin my teen life. Then one day some years after that initial introduction to quality I was home visiting and found it in the basement and tried it on. It was perfect and suddenly I understood why my mother saved it despite my ignorance, she knew my taste would change with time. It's my favorite piece, shoulder pads and all! I'm all about details so I adore the buttons and the zipper pull on the sleeves, and I love to throw it on with jeans (not the ones pictured) and heels. Now I just have to get enough nerve to rock it with the skirt, eeeeeek!
