TSB: January Rack Up

This past month was full of functional and warm styles, and one teeny weeny bikini. Here's what I wore throughout the month:

Although I hate freezing to death, I really do enjoy my knits (with a closet to prove it). My favorite look from the month had to be the one shot outside during the snow with very inappropriate shoes - definitely wore that again sans snow. 

For those of you wondering how I've been doing as a conscious shopper, the answer is amazing. Have yet to buy anything frivolous, only necessities such as socks. Also, visited my local Beacon's and uploaded more pieces to Postmark in an effort to unload my closet. 

What were you wearing on repeat this past month?

Triangl in the Sun

With snowstorm Juno headed directly for NE, why not post up a few photos from last weekend's trip to Orlando. UGH. I was lucky enough to escape the NE for a bit and bust out a few warm-weather favorites. Generally, I'm not one to flaunt a full-on bikini but this PilyQ kimono had me feeling a little ballsy.

There's something to be said about an amazing cover-up that makes you want to bare it all. Well, almost. But, this PilyQ kimono certainly comes close to doing the trick. All that fringe and a cut that drapes the body, it had me wishing for a few extra days in sunny Orlando.

Now here's the story on the Miami Mint bikini from Triangl. It's such an awesome color and brand but I've been waiting since August to flaunt it on the blog. Reason being I didn't feel completely comfortable wearing such little material on the interwebs. 

After a few months of sweating it out with Classpass, I finally felt fit and ready - so here it is. I know, I know, it's not the entire bikini but it's a start :). For those of you curious on the sizing, definitely order up. I'm normally a small (and pretty flat-chested lol) but still had to order up - the neoprene material doesn't stretch. If you have a little bit more junk in the trunk consider ordering up two sizes.

If you're curious as to which classes on Classpass I've been taking, stay tuned for tomorrow's post.

NYFW | What to Wear

When MAJOR models agency is in your building, you kind of get the hint as to when NYFW is upon us. AND, my friends - it is upon us. There is nothing we can do to stall it, but we can prepare for it. With a few challenges (full-time job, uncooperative weather, and subways as transportation) thrown in of course, here's what I'll be wearing for NYFW.

This kick-ass printed dress inspired by Women We Love in New York is what I'll be wearing. Curious to see who Lafayette 148 chose, read all about that here.

When one enters the tents, let alone the sidewalk where all the hustle and bustle is happening, you want to feel and look confident, strong, and on point. Wearing this dress makes all that happen for me and more which is why I'm excited to rock it during Fashion Month. 

Coat: Planet London  Dress: borrowed via Lafayette 148 (up to size 18)  Over the Knee Boots: Zara (similar style)  Necklace: c/o Capwell+Co  Earrings: c/o Capwell+Co  Purse: Rebecca Minkoff  Foundation: Ready Set Gorgeous by Covergirl  Lipstick: Audrey by NARS

As for the challenges, I got it all covered. This dress would crush it at the tents as it would at an office presentation. The chunky heels on my boots make slugging from the East to the West side and then back again, bearable (#subwaylife). And saying no to exposed knees, toes, and midriffs (+ a warm coat) will keep me warm compared to those baiting the street style photographers. 

So, what do you think - would you say I'm ready for tents?
