RC, I Love You

This summer I learned how deep my love of culottes, palazzo pants, whatever we're calling them, runs.  It runs deep, that love runs so deep.  There's just something about the teeny tiny waist paired with the incredibly freeing wide legs.  Anyways, before this turns into an even sappier love story about culottes, I'll turn it into one about Rachel Comey.  She's created the only three pairs of pants that I need to own next spring, and for that I love her.  I will be saving up every penny for them.

 I'm not sure if this is a romper or two separate pieces, regardless, I need to own all of it.

I should probably just plan to purchase this entire outfit.  

I'm typically not a huge fan of the Spring collections, but thanks to RC I'm feeling quite optimistic about the upcoming season.

Last week, once we finally recovered from the NY heat wave, I felt comfortable getting creative again.  I finally wore my new Rachel Comey heels, a serendipitous sample sale find, along with my favorite summer skirt worn as a dress, and nothing jazzes up an outfit like a red lip.  Moving into the last month of summer, I always remember that there so many more outfits that I've yet to try, so hopefully you'll see a few more new looks as the final weeks go by.  

Can't get enough of them, they're just too good.

What will you be wearing in August?  

My Instagram Life: Summer!

June kicked this summer off in perfect style, and I'm sharing what my iPhone lens saw throughout the month.  Starting off the month right, I spent a morning at CFDA HQ celebrating their partnership with Swarovski, and re-watching the CFDA Awards webcast.  Later in the week I indulged in Krispy Kreme donuts with some friends in celebration of National Donut Day.  

Once upon a time... I wore a denim jacket over my denim vest.  Something tells me that won't be the last time.  Then it was off to Texas for an amazing weekend with Brinton & Allie. 

The cutest bride-to-be, and our amazing view of downtown Austin from the rehearsal dinner cruise.

The State Capitol is a beaut {I know you've seen her before, but I couldn't help myself}.  The wedding flowers were so perfect.  So. Perfect. 

Saying goodbye to the Lone Star State was tough, but it won't be the last time.  Plus, leaving Texas meant that I got to come back and enjoy a perfect moment in Prospect Park at Tropfest, and accompanied the supermoon.   

My new Rachel Comey shoes are a cosmic wonder, I cannot wait to wear them all over the boroughs this summer. 

I'm going back to Michigan to frolic on the beach, cuddle cute puppies, and hang with my friends & family this week, and I can't wait to see what else this summer holds!

Rachel Comey, Fall 2013

A wonderful friend {& fashion week fairy godmother} flew in from Chicago for 24 hours and Rachel Comey was #1 on her list.  I was lucky enough to tag along for a first look at the sick new Fall 2013 collection! 

Rachel & Richard at NYFW

During the last unofficial day and the first official day of New York Fashion Week I was lucky enough to attend two presentations for a couple of my favorite designers in the game.

Thanks to the super generous and lovely ladies over at Kit This, I will be heading out shortly to the Rachel Comey SS 2013 show!  More coverage to come this weekend.  

Also, apologies for the lack of posts! I will forever be the girl that forgets to make appointments to set up internet in new apartments until after she has already moved in.
