Obsession of the Day: Coach Legacy Penny Purse

I love Coach's new Legacy line and ever since I deejayed Coach's Party on the Highline earlier this summer, I've been downright obsessed with the line's Penny Purse!

The on trend mini-bag has a long shoulder strap and is perfect to wear cross body!

It comes in tons of great colors! I'm totally eyeing the blue and the red ones!

Here are friends Jordana Blitz and Lauren Levinger of Coach wearing purple and gray Penny Purses at the Highline party. So cute, right??

Get one in your favorite color at Coach.com!

What I Wore: Sheila E Concert

Hi!!! So last night my good friend The Legendary Damon (no really, he is legendary and that is his name!) invited me to go see Sheila E perform before our weekly Wednesday night party at the Soho Mondrian! I, of course, said yes as I LOOOOOVE Sheila E and "Glamorous Life" is one of my favorite songs of all time! Hubby snapped an iphone pic as I was heading out the door!

I wore an oxblood T by Alexander Wang dress with my new favorite YSL F/W 2012 leather waist belt and Celine ankle cuff pumps for the night!

I had an amazing time and ended up backstage with friends! I stumbled upon Sheila E's set list lying on a set of drums and discreetly snapped a pic! I didn't want to look like a stalker but HELLO I'm a TOTAL stalker...I'm mean it's SHEILA E! :)

Legendary!!

What did you guys do last night??

Footwear Fantasy: Givenchy Tri-color Sheath Boot

I know we've already covered Givenchy's pre-fall 2012 Sheath boots extensively but can we talk about the tri-color Fall version???

Swoon, now that is a beautiful boot! Kind of glad I didn't rush out and get the pre-fall boots. I like these so much better! Get them at BergdorfGoodman.com!!

Today I'm Wearing...

Hey guys! How's your Monday so far?? I've been in my home studio working on a new electro party mix all day so I'm just now leaving my house to run a few quick errands...

I wanted to be comfy but cute so today I'm wearing my favorite Miu Miu S/S 2012 skirt with a black Splendid t-shirt and Chanel ballet flats. For accessories I grabbed my Dominic Jones spiked necklace, Hermes Kelly Dog Cuff, Repossi ring, black on black Chanel bag and a pair of Marc Jacobs sunglasses!

What are you wearing today??

Looks I Love: Tracee Ellis Ross in Altuzzara

Tracee Ellis Ross always gets it right! She looked fab in an Altuzarra F/W 2012 skirt at a recent product launch for Optimum!

I love the camisole top she paired with it...

You can snag her skirt at Net-a-porter...

It's another great 'Wear now/Wear later' piece - just pair the skirt with a chunky sweater, tights, and booties for the Fall!

Obsession of the Day: Prabal Gurung F/W 2012 runway skirt

Here I go again...falling in love with Prabal's prints!

Perfection!! The light blue and grey color combination of the Georgia O'Keffe-inspired print is insane! Wear it now with a lightweight top and statement pumps and later in the season with a leather sleeved top and booties!

Here it is in action on the runway paired with a matching print top and blue coat!

Get it at Netaporter now!

Obsession of the Day: Jill Sander Fall 2012 Coats

I LOVED the beautiful oversized coats Raf Simmons sent down the runway for his final collection for Jil Sander!

They're both now available for pre-order at Bergdorf Goodman online! 

The Jill Sander "Red coat"! This is one of the absolute must have items for F/W 2012!

And the "Colorblock Coat"! I love the way the model clutched the coat closed on the runway. 

Both coats are simply stunning! Grab your favorite one before they sell out!

New Goodies!

You guys know how much I LOVE Peter Pilotto! Here are some pieces I've picked up from the F/W 2012 collection over the last few weeks!

 When I die, bury me in Pilotto lol...I'm obsessed! I got the skirts and long sleeve top from Net-a-porter and the floral short sleeve top from Five Story on the upper east side...

I also picked up this great brocade skirt from Stella McCartney's F/W 2012 collection...

What do you guys think of my new finds? What pieces have you picked up recently??

Footwear Fantasy: Diane von Furstenberg Lucette Pumps

Love these new suede Lucette pumps from Diane von Fustenberg!

The art deco inspired heel is chic in gold and black resin but very manageable at 4.5 inches! 

The Lucette is very similar in style to these pumps from Gucci's Spring 2012 collection but much more reasonably priced!

Get them here!

Trend Alert: Burgundy for Fall 2012

Also known as Maroon, Oxblood, Port, etc. this color is everywhere right now and designers are offering up some hot pieces in various shades of the hue. There's something for everyone at every price point so I wanted to share some of my favorite pieces in the color!

Best Buy: Splendid layering tanks

If you're like me, you're always on the hunt for the best basics. No matter how many great show-stopping pieces you have in your wardrobe, great basics are the things you'll reach for over and over again and can help take stellar pieces to the next level..

One of my favorite basics has always been the tank top! They're everywhere but they are NOT all created equal!  My perfect tank is one that is cut well (the neckline has to hit at just the right point), long enough to tuck in or wear out, and made of material that is thin, soft, and stretchy but keeps it shape. I've basically spent this entire summer wearing pencil skirts with tank tops so I've tried tons from different brands. But last week I discovered the PERFECT tank!

Meet the Splendid layering tank!

Made of 90% Pima cotton and 10% spandex it's stretchy, comfortable, and fits like a dream! It comes in racerback and in 8 different colors and the price point is great!

Trust me when I say this is THE TANK you need! It's perfect for summer and for layering during fall and winter! You can get the tank now at Splendid.com!

Ikram Chicago!

Hey guys, Happy Monday! How was your weekend?? On Saturday, I flew to Chicago to deejay Heineken's Red Star Access tour at the House of Blues. While I was there I took a trip to the legendary Ikram Boutique!

The store itself is stunning in red lacquer with huge picture windows but that doesn't even begin to compare to the haute goodies within!

The owner and buyer, Ikram Goldman, is a fashion darling and renown stylist. She was Michelle Obama's personal stylist for many years and is responsible for some of the FLOTUS's most iconic looks including the stunning Jason Wu gown Mrs. Obama wore to the 2008 presidential inauguration!

Ikram's well-heeled clients include stylish Chicagoans like the super chic Desiree Rodgers!

While there, I found these amazing Celine S/S 2012 suede buckle wedges on sale for 60% off!

Oh, how I love a good sale! That find alone made my trip to Chicago trip worth it lol!

If you're ever in Chicago and make your way to Ikram ask for sales pro, Marcin Wrobel. He knows his stuff and helped me find some great pieces!
