TLVFW: Dorit Bar Or and Dorin Frankfurt shows!

Dorit Bar Or show: Sequins, high collars, and flowing skirts. I could wear this day to night...




Dorin Frankfurt show: the head crowns added a little something special extra to the simple, chic looks. I love the rich hues like violet, cranberry, and navy blue mixed with the pastels!





Which collection is your favorite?

She Moves in Her Own Way

214.153
(Zara Stripe Turtleneck, Anarchy Street Pleated Skirt, H&M Socks, gifted Steve Madden Dynamite Heels in Taupe)

Here is my second outfit (first outfit and heels here) for an Alice in Wonderland themed tea party for Steve Madden's newest campaign, "Steve Brings It!"

What would my party be without great music? I'm usually the one starting the dance floor (whether there really is one or not) at any party so a pair of comfortable yet stunning heels like these are a must.

Here are my top music picks for my tea party:

1. The Kooks - She Moves in Her Own Way
2. Ingrid Michaelson - Girls and Boys
3. Ben Folds - You Don't Know Me.
4. Colbie Caillat - Favorite Song
5. Kate Nash - Navy Taxi
6. Noah and the Whale - 5 Years Time
7. Tristan Prettyman - All I want is You

The Right Amount of Black and Gold

(Karen Walker Sunglasses, Espirit Cardigan, Vintage Denim Shirt & Belt, Gap Jeans, Givenchy Bag, Isabel Marant Gava Pumps, gifted Swarovski Octea Sport Watch)

I'm so happy to add this pretty black and rose gold Swarovski watch to my slowly, but surely growing gold collection. The shape of the watch is sporty yet the way the watch is cut and the way rose gold trims accessorize the watch make it more... me.

I've picked out some of my favorites from Swarovski's newest watch collection, and if you haven't heard already, there is a fun contest going on Polyvore, where you have a chance to win a Swarovski watch of your choice. All you have to do is create a set with it.

NEW IN: The Alex & Eli "Natalie" Holiday Blazer!

THE DESIGN PROCESS:










So here we have it: The "Natalie" Alex & Eli holiday blazer! Collaborating with the NYC designers felt only natural as I'm a huge tailor freak and I love blazers, trousers, and blouses. After our tailor session, Anna, Aja, and I got right to work in the garment district. We chose the classic Alex & Eli cut: a slim, slightly longer fit. With the tailor, we got the pieces all laid out. Yes, those pieces of paper represent each piece of the blazer with measurements from the shoulders down to the arms! Getting to work right in the design studio really opened my eyes to the world of designing and already, I'm in love with the whole process! After having the blazer cut and put together, our seamstress hand sewed the final touches to the blazer, like the silky buttons. To add a few personal quirks to the blazer, we will have a little horse charm attached to the lapel (I have a weird love for horses) as well as the quote "On Duty!" sewn inside the blazer. Talk about charming! I wear this blazer soo much now. It's just perfect for everyday and it always looks classic and chic. After all the hard work, I'm excited to show the stellar result!!

END RESULT:




Buy the blazer HERE!
Once ordered, it's sent to the tailors right here in NYC to be custom-made for you!

At Home with Ishtar in Tel Aviv






The designer, Tamar Primak, of Ishtar during interviews!


In between shows during TLVFW, a few us of were invited inside the home of the designer of Ishtar, just off the coast of Tel Aviv. It was exactly what we needed at the time...to escape the fashion week tents and get a taste of the real Israel. The designer's home was just incredible and soo cozy. It's not only her home, but her studio where she embroiders and sews the clothes. I'm obsessed with the intricate colors and details to her denim pieces along with the beautiful, soft maxi dresses. Jenni Lee and I got a bit hands on and decided to go ahead and play dress up. I fell in love with that sheer Ishtar maxi dress and immediately put it on over a little slip. What's cool is that every piece sort of tells a story. The collection as a whole captures a girl in the desert, who has been there all her life, likes to walk barefoot, and is completely free. The way she describes the collection is really beautiful. Over tea and traditional Israeli pastries, we not only discussed the collection, but also got to share stories about this country and how it is viewed to the rest of the world. Tel Aviv is a bit like this little bubble in Israel: a place where you go in the country that is a lot more liberal. After hearing their stories, I knew that there was also much more to Israel that I didn't get to discover yet...there is the Dead Sea...there are the little towns that have completely disconnected themselves from the rest of the world. They really got my curiosity running wild and already, I'm dying to return just to explore everything else I didn't quite get to see this time around.
