Getting perfectly outfitted for New York Fashion Week is an important part of my planning for the week, and I was so relieved to have the tremendous opportunity to pick out some pieces from
T.J.Maxx and
Marshalls to wear, as I always find incredible on-trend, designer pieces of top notch quality at the stores. This Friday of fashion week resulted in a decidedly black and white aesthetic with a pop of color, thanks to my accessories; a very “it” look this season.
Staying cool yet prepared for the potential rain that threatened the earlier half of the week was crucial, and I felt pretty stylish, comfortable, and prepared for whatever came my way in these pieces. See below for more pics of my look from Day 2, including some great detailed close-up shoots of my jewels and bag!
Follow along on social media via the hashtag #WHATIWORENYFW and the tags @Marshalls and @TJMAXX for more fabulous fashion-week bound fashionistas in incredible baubles and wares from the stores.

Another season is upon us! This September 4th-11th, New York Fashion Week will take us on a journey with expected new trends in color, silhouette, and styling. I’m excited to cover the shows, which will now be my 22nd time doing so! This season, I’m going to do things a bit differently, and in a way that you will hopefully find more enjoyable. I’m shifting a great majority of the coverage to our social media channels, so please follow along on Twitter at @fashionpulse and @fashionpulseday , Instagram @FashionPulseDaily, the Pinterest board dedicated to NYFW , Facebook (Fashion Pulse), and who knows, maybe something will pop up on the YouTube channel too! I will have plenty of help with contributors covering the shows, and also putting out what they see and experience through our social channels. Generally follow along the happenings with the hashtags #NYFW and #MBFW.
See the video above, also duplicated in the sidebar (directly above the Instagram pics) for the live stream from Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week courtesy of Rightster! You can watch the shows as they happen, or catch up on shows that you missed from earlier in the day or week.
On FashionPulseDaily.com, there will be some occasional show reviews, however as I’m taking the blog in a more accessories-driven direction, the fashion week coverage will also veer in that direction. Expect another edition of “The Feet of Fashion Week,” along with fashion and beauty trend reports breaking down what is important to look for and try come spring 2015, as well as some personal style posts regarding what I’m wearing (hint: be prepared to see pieces rom Marimekko, Sorrelli, T.J.Maxx, ShoeDazzle, Keds x Kate Spade New York, Shopbop.com and more!).
Thanks for tuning in for another year of fabulous fashion!

Goodness gracious, do I LOVE accessories! I need to murmur, “Be still my heart,” when I see an amazing stiletto silhouette or perfectly symmetrical, structured handbag. Seeing the resort 2015 accessory options evoked the reason why I absolutely love the category, as it can be just so incredibly innovative in design, fashion-forward, and well, just generally look damn good on your arm, feet, around your neck, etc.
In the slideshow above, I’ve picked some of my absolute favorites, and if money wasn’t any issue, you better believe I’d make room for all of them in my closet! Enjoy perusing the myriad of styles from brands such as Lanvin, Gucci, Alexander Wang, Kenzo, Louis Vuitton, Alexandre Birman, Fallon, House of Holland, and more, that may seem avant garde for now, but will surely become popular styles and become accessible for all before you know it.

Resort has become
such a
transitional category nowadays, that it’s become a go-to season to pluck versatile pieces from, since when they are layered, work well for a variety of climates. Long, ethereal layers reign supreme for resort 2015, while vibrant, largely botanical prints, a favorite of the resort season, are having quite a moment. Wide-leg pants, rompers, jumpers, maxi dresses, and a heavy use of silk suggest the easy breezy nature of the season, which feels incredibly on-trend for right now.
See above and below for some of my top picks for resort 2015, and really, 2014-2015 in general from great labels such as Donna Karan, Marissa Webb, and Suno.
