School in Style No. 2: Varsity Player

True story, I'm in love with the whole "varsity" look that's coming in for fall. Sports-inspired looks were all over the runways and I gotta say, I am so happy about it. I basically live in my sneakers on a day-to-day basis (I nanny and work at a gym.. okay?!), so this trend might seriously be the best thing to happen to me this season.

One of the biggest criteria for dressing myself in the morning is comfort. If my outfit isn't comfy, it is not going to be a good day. As a matter of fact, it's one of the quickest ways to put me in a bad mood. I'm a firm believer in the idea that comfort is key, and if you're not comfortable in the clothes you're wearing, how are you supposed to rock them in confidence? Bring on the boyfriend jeans, t-shirt dresses, and sneaks please!

Kate Spade Spring 2014

I know NYFW is in full swing for Fall/Winter 2014 collections, but right now all I'm thinking is spring, spring, spring! And while I have been following the shows happening this week (I'm currently loving Rebecca Minkoff's collection and Rebecca Vallance), I decided now is an appropriate time to start planning for the warmer months that, fingers crossed, lay ahead!

The other day I was sitting at our lunch table, and I pulled my agenda, wallet, and phone out of my bag. (All are Kate Spade because clearly I have an obsession.) And one of the girls who sits with us said, "Wow, Emily, do you like Kate Spade or something?" Cue the laughter. I'm obsessed. Season after season, the collections manage to perfectly balance elegance and girl power, the two things I feel embody the modern woman. So, it shouldn't come as a shocker that my favorite collection from spring 2014 is Kate Spade's. Oh, to be rich!

Bon Voyage!

Places to Go, People to See

Now, if you knew that the spring collection was inspired by Deborah Lloyd's travels in Europe, then you probably aren't surprised that I'm head over heels for this collection. Especially given the post I wrote just last week! I've still got a serious case of wanderlust and this line makes me so, so, SO excited for spring and summer. And even more than that? All the fabulous adventures that come with them! As always, Deborah Lloyd and her team nailed it.

p.s. Kate Spade is having a surprise sale!! It ends Thursday, 2/13 at 11:59pm so hurry!

Mark Your Calendar... 2 Days til NYFW!

It's like Christmas is happening all over again! Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week starts on February 6th in NYC, and I'm super excited. I dream of the day when I'll (hopefully) be in attendance. And on that day, my life will be made.

NYFW is going to take the city by storm this week, with shows all over town. I mean, Alexander Wang is taking his show to Brooklyn! Attendees might be running all over the place, but I'm sure none of them are complaining. From what I hear, NYFW's a whirlwind of fun and I've never heard a soul complain about it.

While this week will be previewing Fall 2014, thirty degrees isn't necessarily ideal weather for looking your best. These girls know how to look chic and stay warm! Take a look or two from their book, and you're set to go for what will hopefully be the last month of winter. Check it out!

Stay Warm!

Happy (Almost) Fashion Week Everyone!

Looks I'm Loving

I've SO been looking forward to this post because what with all the awards shows (it's finally the season!), and NYFW coming up (eep!) there are just an abundance of looks that I, well, love.

There's been a lot happening, so I rounded my picks off to three favorites from given bloggers, award shows, random Pinterest finds... There's so much to see, so much to love, and so many gorgeous celebrities to envy! They have to be normal looking with undone hair and a bare face, right? Not going to lie, sometimes the "Stars without Makeup!" segments of magazines really make me feel better about myself on a down day. Pathetic, I know.

Have a look, and happy Thursday!
