Owen NYC Shopping Event

This past Saturday, Owen, a designer boutique in the Meatpacking district hosted a shopping event with blogger Danielle Bernstein of www.weworewhat.com, and photographed by Guest of a Guest. The idea was to use the store as your closet and put together an outfit, upload it to Instagram, and Danielle and Owen would choose their favorite outfit and award them with a $250 credit to the store! My super stylish friend Mark Eric and I headed over and after carefully scouring the racks filled with pieces from A.L.C., Wayne, Suno, and Genetic Denim, just to name a few, we came up with these outfits for our "#springselfie" submission. 

I went for an all-white look for spring, with the coolest pair of perforated leather Wayne shorts, paired with a short-sleeved silk blouse by A.L.C., and a beautiful nude Sophie Hulme clutch. I topped it off with a black leather hat, (I used part of my gift card to buy a similar suede one before we left), and was ready for selfie time!

Winter Dress Code

                                          

For the first "East" post in our East//West blog I donned my warmest fur coat, in true New York style, and hit the fashion-forward streets of SoHo with my fabulous friend and photographer, Lacsana.

                                   

         

We risked our lives, dodging the continuous flow of oncoming traffic while simultaneously snapping pictures in the middle of charming, cobblestone-paved Greene Street.

                                        

Since one huge fur coat obviously isn't enough to keep my wimpy Californian self warm in this frigid New York air, I layered a pine green leather jacket underneath, also lending a bit of a downtown edge to the look. And as I'm sure you will quickly realize, I am a huge proponent of a good printed pant. They, along with a killer pair of shoes, allow you to wear that same worn in sweater you love three times a week and somehow still make you look perfectly put-together.

I also have an obsession with nail art. 

And decaf coffee. 

This cup happens to be from Delicatessen, the trendy little restaurant on Prince Street, where we sat and snuck stalker glances at Prabal Gurung who was sipping his orange juice just a few tables away!
