I shot this look with Jeff when it wasn’t freezing cold in New York yet, but never found a good time to post it, as the look is so weather inappropriate at the moment. But since I’m in Miami right now, I figured it’s probably the only time I can share it before the Holidays. It’s quite a funky combination which I personally love.
Soon we will be flying to warmer temperatures, beach, and cocktails at the pool. It’s been over a year since we’ve been on a real vacation, so we need it… I need it! I cannot wait to swap this long coat for a pool-kimono, my trousers for cut-off shorts, and the turtleneck for my bikini top. Though the latter I still have to buy… Gotta run, lots to do before we can vacay and “do nothing”.
I think there’s not one thing in the world I’m more excited about at the moment, and that is the Valentino NYC event. Tonight Thomas and I will be attending the official NYC store opening, including the Haute Couture show – which you can watch on my blog tonight at 8PM EST – followed by a dinner soiree. Dressed in this beautiful Valentino dress by the lovely ladies of Departement Feminine. I cannot tell you how special it feels to be part of this event, as it’s not only an honor, but also one of those moments of which you know they might not ever happen again…
Trending topic on Thefashionguitar.com is definitely #allgrey – or #onlysofttones for that matter. I tend to grab for the softer shades more often these days than I ever did before. Though, while shooting these looks I made a little d-tour with a good old all-black/navy look. Will show you that one soon. Until then, I hope I can “inspire” you with these thick wool layers, topped with the softest slouchy cashmere coat, and of course the white chunks – of which ALL styling inspiration credits go to The Edit from Net-a-Porter. One of my biggest sources of inspiration these days.
I find it really hard to pick the right outfits these days, because the weather is so changeable! One day I’m freezing my ass off, and the next days I don’t even have to wear a coat. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t mind, but it must look a bit weird to you. One thing you have to trust me on, is that even though I shoot my looks a little in advance – I have to do that with my little ones – I always try to post them most appropriately in relation the actual weather the respective day. So today for example the weather forecast “says” it’s going to be mild, hence this coatless look. The day before it was freezing, and it was, so I choose to go with my super warm cashmere layering look. But in any case, what you see here is what I actually wear, as I find it most important that it reflects the true me. Not that I feel you think otherwise, we know each other by now, we go way back…
