Copenhagen: Walk in Style

(Nicole Miller "Artelier" blouse and skirt, Mango leather jacket, Matt Bernson heels, Marie Turnor bag)

For an evening out at ECCO's "Walk in Style" event, kicking off the start of Copenhagen Fashion Week, I thought I'd wrap myself up like a present with this gorgeous Nicole Miller skirt! This candy colored beauty caught my eye the moment I saw it at the Nicole Miller offices back in NYC. I had to take it home hehe! Paired with an equally hot pop of color in the blouse, it was one bold look! I'm obsessed. At the ECCO "Walk in Style" event, we were greeted by the beautiful Princess of Denmark, before being seated for a decadent 3 course meal. It was just so pretty, I think everyone in that room felt like royalty for the night! Also, that mayyyy be something that comes with having one too many glasses of wine! Our table was right by the runway, giving us a rad view of the show and the of course, the ECCO shoes, which were specially designed just for this event. There was everything from brogues to stellar ankle boots to graze the runway. I cannot wait to show you in my next post. I want to get my hands on them pronto, because honestly, they're the comfiest shoes I've ever slipped into.

Already beginning to explore the city, I've become inspired by the beautiful buildings. Copenhagen is so lively. I love it! The shops, the people, everything is just beautiful and I can't put my camera down. Never a surprise! I'm off to begin my last day here in Copenhagen with a relaxing shoot with one of my friends who happens to be in town, and hopefully picking up something at the local vintage shops. I woke up so early this morning, and not just because I'm dying for breakfast...I don't want to miss a moment of this place!

Frosty Morning

(Hallelu sweater, Joie coat, Athropology beanie)

Before hopping into a van early yesterday morning in Amsterdam heading for the ECCO leather tannery, I had to take one quick run to the canal...just to see how pretty it was. I love super brisk mornings and this one in Amsterdam was just stunning. Somehow it didn't get bright until late in the morning. The sky was that gray. And no surprise, it's freeeezing here! I threw on this adorable little beanie to keep my ears warm, while piling on layers of knits under my giant coat. Our ride to the tannery was pure bliss. I finally caught a little snooze while being plugged into my Ipod. It doesn't get any better than that! Right now, I'm in Copenhagen! I'm so jetlagged, I don't even know how we got here (can you image I forgot what day it was yesterday?) But after a night of deep sleep, I finally feel refreshed to start the day here. Stay tuned for more updates on my travels!

Hello There Amsterdam!

(Romwe sweater, Juicy Couture coat, J Brand jeans, Marie Turnor bag, ECCO boots)

I am now in Amsterdam, working with ECCO shoes, and I am already whisked away into my own little dream land. It's absolutely beautiful here. I flew in from NYC overnight and arrived here first thing this morning. With no time to spare, the ECCO group, along with my good friend Christina and I, hit the city streets. Footsteps from our hotel are the canals and tiny narrow streets. Though we all flew in from NYC completely exhausted, we immediately freshened up in our hotel before packing up on caffeine to get us throughout the day. If you can't tell by my photos...it's veeerry cold here! That of course, did not stop us from stopping and taking numerous photos around every street corner. Escaping back to our rooms for a little nap before cabbing it to a gorgeous palace style dinner, I feel as if we're in this amazing European dream. I love this city and it's beauty! Getting to be here with Christina is awesome. She's my little partner in crime when it comes to exploring a new city. Bundled up in layers and layers of clothing, we hopped from cafe to cafe before jumping knee-deep into a giant Dutch clog. Talk about awesome :)

I have just this night here in Amsterdam before taking off to Copenhagen tomorrow for the ECCO "Walk in Style" event and I'm so stoked. For this trip, I've literally packed all of ECCO's shoes. They're sooo comfortable and the epitome of European chic. Here I'm wearing a great pair of flat ankle boots. The rubber soles are pure genius. I could walk for miles in these babies! Also, I've been sporting a super thick sweater and coat to keep warm. But I'm feeling adventurous and thinking of sporting something a little more exciting these next few days in Denmark! My mind is a bit scattered right now, as I'm running on barely any sleep, but I can't wait to share more stories with you on my European travels!

Neutral Territory

(Mom's Cropped Trench Coat, Urban 1972 Lace Dress, Guiseppe Zanotti Heels)

Spent the day frilling around in this lace dress. I'm such a sucker for dresses with the skirt part that flares out. Probably because I don't like anything that's too body hugging.

Checkmate

(Nicole Miller Artelier blouse, Big Star (find them here!) faux leather jeans, Marie Turnor bag, Forever 21 scarf, Vintage black coat, Kork-Ease boots)

EEE! A finger-numbing, cold afternoon this was! But I took off my wool coat just for you. How could I not when I've got this rad Nicole Miller Artelier blouse on? Check.MATE. I'm obsessed with this sketched print along with the hot pop of blue from the back. Straight off the Spring '12 runway, it can't get any cooler. And I'm a huge fan of these faux leather jeans. They're by Big Star, whom I've shot their latest denim campaign for! It's a bit weird, but I've been wearing these everyday this week, as are all of my friends (I need to get a photo of everyone wearing them at once). I think both Claire and I were wearing them this day as we strolled through Chinatown. They really are a huge hit here in the city. Everywhere I go, it's liquid legs GALORE. I'm packing these guys. You'll see my stomping the streets of Europe with them next week...look out.
