Coach 1941 Fall '16 Collection

I finally got a chance to catch up on all the New York Fashion Week shows today, and am so happy I did. I always love seeing what amazing collections come out of all the craziness during the shows each fall and spring. The clothing and the energy of the events give me inspiration for my vintage hunt in a different way than anything else does. I was in New York this fall to soak in some inspiration, and I wish I could have made a trip down for this one too. The collection that has been my favorite so far is Coach 1941. The skirts, the plaids, the patchworks blouses; everything! I've shared some of my favorites, but you can check the full show out, and the rest of the designers' collections, HERE.

This and That : Waffles in Bryant Park

Yes, I am dedicating the title of this post to the waffles we had at Wafels and Dinges in Bryant Park while I was in New York with my mom, because they were just that good. I mean, check out that picture above and tell me your mouth isn't watering! Chewy waffle, chocolate fudge and ice cream. OK, now I'm hungry. 

Anyways, whenever I visit NYC I always find myself gravitating towards Bryant Park mid afternoon, when I have hit an energy slump after walking around the busy streets. Its always nice to sit down, drink some coffee, and watch everyone else relaxing on the lawn around you. I used to come here when I was in college and needed a break from my tiny dorm room and busy campus. Its a nice little semi-green space smack dab in the middle of everything, and usually has some type of fun event going on. One time my friend and I caught a square dancing event and had a blast dancing with about 300 other people on the lawn. Craziness. This time, our coffee and waffles sit down energized us to do a little shopping in Herald Square before we headed home. So fun : )

Hope everyone is having a great week, and check in with me at the shop as I am listing lots of new vintage this week, including tons of fall items!

NYFW Street Style : Outside Concept Korea and Jeremy Scott

Yesterday I flew to New York for a one day inspiration / fabric buying trip with my mom. More to come tomorrow on what we did, but our main activity was checking out day four of NYFW, mainly the Concept Korea and Jeremy Scott shows. And yes, I know, this is the third post on fashion week and you're probably sick of it. Sorry to not be very sorry, but I love it. Regular posting will resume soon I promise ; ) Here are some of my favorite photos that I shot throughout the day. Fashion week is crazy and slightly ridiculous, but it is amazing for stirring up your creative side and getting you to think outside of the box. Enjoy!

p.s. Spotting Chiara was the best. She's just so so good.
