PULSE: Scatter My Ashes At Bergdorf's

This week, I had the pleasure of pre-screening a new documentary called Scatter My Ashes at Bergdorf's. When you think 'luxury in America', there's no better representation than Bergdorf Goodman's. The film takes you through the iconic history of this tailored-to-perfection mom + pop shop turned fashion monument, then behind the scenes as the masterful visual team creates the most intricate holiday windows you've ever laid eyes on, and gives you a sense of the caliber to wich all designers dream for success (I'll give you a hint: if the sky is the limit, Bergdorf's is the atmosphere.) Not to mention, the list of designer and fashion heavy weight appearances is just as impressive as the store itself. It ignited an excitement about the fashion industry that reminded me why I am so in love with what I do. It's a must-watch for any fashion aficionado. Peep the trailer HERE!

OBSESSED: Kristin Perry ID Tags

Can't get enough of these Kristin Perry ID tag bracelets. They're oh-so-right-now, and I'm in major love. More to come with these bad boys and my collaboration with KP. Stay tuned!

If you were expecting fall to be all plaid and punk, think again! Vincent F/W13 preview has me giddy in all it's satin, muslin, sparkling organza and pvc, sugary spider webbed glory! As if I could get enough watery iridescence... I can't. Feast your eyes, and prepare for magic this fall. 

You should know, I tried to edit, but couldn't bear to leave anything out. It's worth the 5 minutes of scrolling, promise. 

File this collection // TRENDS: organic structure, sheer, iridescent, metallic, pastel, peplum, midi, fabric mix, contrast details, lace, and of course, lady-like.

PULSE: Artist Spotlight on Esra Roise

When I first set eyes on Esra Roise's illustrations, I was m e s m e r i z e d (as I often am with anything that truly ignites my right brain functionality...) Needless to say, I'm absolutely enamored with the world that she creates with a pencil, paper, water + paint. With every face she brings to life, I can instantly get a sense of their personality, their likes/dislikes, their favorite flavor of ice cream, their ideal Saturday night... You get the picture- you feel like you know them! She's a real talent, and I wanted to share my favorites from her body of work, from her freestyle creative sketches to her commissioned work for the likes of Nylon Magazine + Stylesight trend forecasting company.

BONUS: If you're as #obsessed with water color fashion illustration as I am, this book should be added to your fashion library STAT. How perfect!

Enjoy!
