{ Hey there big guy! }
After a full seven days of intense outfits and heels, all I want to wear is comfy clothes and slippers flats. My staple all weekend was my favorite pair of skinny jeans paired with a rotation of super soft t-shirts and boots. Also, since I ate my body weight during Fashion Week (I’d go all day without eating and then have a romantic dinner for one at Chipotle…) I’ve been opting for all black ensembles since they’re the most slimming.
Sucks for black bears though – take the chubster in the photo above, he’s wearing an all black coat and he still looks like a chunky monkey and he has to be scorching hot. Rough, ROUGH life. I’ve actually always been more of a polar bear person but since I already featured an all white outfit (see here), I thought I’d spend some time with the POLAR opposite (pun intended).
The week ahead is looking like a crazy hectic one with two photoshoots, a taping, and the usual day-to-day shtuff so I’m certainly going to be in need of a big bear hug when this week ends. That or a dirty martini. Or both.

Black on Black
Ask anyone to describe a typical “New Yorker’s” style and they will undoubtedly respond “all black”. Indeed, on almost every block of New York City you will see at least one person dressed in black from head-to-toe, and truth be told it’s quite possible that I may be one of them. As much as I love mixing different colors and patterns, sometimes an all black ensemble just feels more chic and edgy. It’s no lie that wearing all black certainly makes you look thinner, but regardless of its slimming tricks, there is something empowering about the all black look.
Many people look down upon the “all black” costume because they consider it to be a boring and uninspired outfit, but let me just say that fashion icons like Kate Lanphear, Freja Beha Erichsen, and Kate Moss are constantly seen wearing all black get-ups and they are considered some of the most influential style icons in the industry. So next time you’re having one of those days where nothing in your closet looks good or you need an outfit that’s going to make you feel confident and empowered, I suggest opting for black from head-to-toe.
