As I'm sure most of you know, right now is Fall 2012 New York Fashion Week. I'm drawn to black for so many reasons, but mostly because it just makes so much sense with my tight budget. Black can take you from the work place, to Happy Hour drinks and then out on the town. Black is chic on its own, but also the perfect template for standalone jewelry. I could go on and on! Here are a few of my favorite looks from this week... the leather and details on that Alexander Wang coat is unreal!

Scandalously Skiing

Well, summer is coming to an end and I see myself spending much more time in upstate New York this winter. Could it be my time to learn how to ski? I'm not so sure. Back in the day, I smashed into a tree my third time skiing and called it quits right then and there. If I was able to look this good while skiing, I might just start to reconsider.
