The most surprising trend to emerge from the resort collections (i.e, clothes to buy now) and spring 2015 (clothes to buy soon) is the all-weather, all-ages, naïve-yet-knowing frock in snowy lace. The LWD is fashion's most alluring new staple and, let's face it, you probably don't own it . .

The Air

New York reminded me today why I loved living here again. The summer’s grime had just enough raw winter nights to make the streets feel clean again and the air was nippy, and honest. I love this place.

I’ve been thinking a lot about what holidays mean for people in their early twenties without children, and in the midst of fighting for their dream jobs, or creating something they are proud of. It’s a bizarre time of self-evaluation. Today, over tea and the best treats at Mansion Lauduree’ Soho, it was all about dressing for comfort. A best friend passed down this vintage PJ suit (CatID Kerrin), and I truly could not love it more. I think New York almost forces you to mix elements of clothing, maybe that one would not first think of as workable for a look. Sneakers have become such a phenomenon, but such a key part in my surviving actual walking in the city, and they really take nothing away from you’re outfit, (if anything the element of practicality is sexy).  XXX C

The Air 

Since I was about 3 years old I have been coming to Bananas, sifting through the glittery gowns, perfect hats, and rows on rows of denim.  It’s funny, because as my life in fashion has evolved from a 3 year old fantasy, to now a fashion week prep reality, Bananas has grown with me, and remains the best place to go treasure hunting. Richard, the owner, pays special attention to detail, and its obvious from the leopard print dressing rooms, to the actual pictures of his great grand parents hanging on the walls. There are glass cabinets filled with pins and jewelry, baskets of fur, and boxes of colorful silk scarfs, it’s honestly a dream world. Every time I head to Gloucester, I make special time to go to Bananas. This time, I found what I like to call the perfect $15 dollar outfit. A real leather pencil skirt, and a black cashmere turtleneck, I was a very happy girl. If you ever find yourself on the North Shore, you would be making a mistake not to head to this little piece of heaven. Check out Insta for more BTS pics of the look I bought !
