What I Wore: NYFW Look 4

P1110380

While I’m traveling in Japan this week and next, I wanted to provide some content and personal style without letting too much time lapse on the blog while away. It doesn’t get much more exciting than what I wore to New York Fashion Week, so I thought I’d exploit the few remaining looks I’ve yet to post, so you can feast your eyes on my most cherished fashion and accessories items. By this point in time, fashion week has literally made its way around the world, and the fall/winter collections are almost a wrap. Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Tokyo still remains, and I’m about to embark upon it this week while in Japan. I always wonder how people pack and prepare to attend fashion week who don’t live in the host city, and now it’s my turn to be one of those people, trying to carefully plot it out in advance.

True, I do plan a bit in advance for what I will wear in New York, but I also pull a wide section of about a dozen extra pieces and set them aside in case the mood strikes me to wear one, or a couple of them, instead. As we embark upon a six-city tour, keeping my wardrobe at a minimum is essential, so that my back, shoulders, and neck remain in tact, which proves an extra challenge when attending one of the most glamorous events one can possibly fathom. Stay tuned in the comign weeks for how I dress for my big trip to Japan, and to fashion week (hint: I get a lot of help from my friends at Athleta!).

To and Fro Pennsylvania

I go back to Pittsburgh, PA quite often, and after all of this time I still stress out a little over what to pack and what to leave behind. What goes into my handbag is actually the easiest part of it all, as those items tend to pretty much stay them same, with some seasonal updates and swaps. Pictured above are my most dire items, which can usually be found tucked (somewhat) neatly inside of my handbag du jour, with this one being the Rebekah bag in olive from Sole Society.

See below for an explanation of why each of these items are always considered a holiday travel essential to me:

Fall Then, Fall Now

by Julia DiNardo

fall then, fall now

It’s crazy what a difference a year can make. At the very least, it can be a reminder to enjoy every moment and take nothing for granted. From a sartorial standpoint, I feel like I’m in a very place than I was a year ago, but then again, my wardrobe hasn’t really changed all that much. My needs may have though, and the concessions that I am willing to make to look and live stylishly certainly aren’t the same. I think as I grow older, an emphasis on stylish comfort resounds, and although I have my gussied up moments, I most importantly need clothes that will move me from my work day to the weekend, from my home to a travel destination, with nary a wrinkle or blister to boot.

Speaking of boots…there’s not much that sets the tone for fall more than a new pair of boots. Continue reading…

What I Wore: NYFW Look 3

Personal style at fashion week, for me, has a bit to do with making a good impression, but more importantly, feeling at ease. I’d never not want to feel like myself there, but more like an enhanced version of myself, and perhaps capitalize on an opportunity to wear something that I don’t every day. I enjoy wearing something by a designer whose show I will be attending that day, and in this case, it was Mara Hoffman. I love her prints, easily recognizable, and fall into the category of simply gorgeous, not flashy. She also picks the best silhouettes to display them on, and this tunic dress made me feel at ease on a hot day, in which one still had to maintain some stylish decorum.

There’s no denying that this print stole the show for my outfit, and I did the best to compliment it with colors and shapes in my accessories that would accentuate, not deter, from the dress. Mission accomplished? I’d like to think so…
