Orange You Glad
I’ve taken my obsession with monochromatic dressing to the next level with outfits composed of pieces derived from a similar color palette. Dressing in related color tones that aren’t so matchy matchy is an easy way to look not so standard while still wearing pretty standard pieces. Here you see me all oranged up, resembling some kind of fall foliage or cherry tomato mixture, but note this my friends: I’m still wearing my usual silky blouse + skinny jeans combo. Ain’t nothin fancy shmancy about that! This is what we call attainable fashion people, attainable fashion. Also note that dressing in a tomato-based color palette allows you to eat and spill as many tomato-based meals as you like without winding up looking like a Jackson Pollock. Major plus for those of you who are clumsy like me or use your outfits as a napkin.

It currently feels like the start of Spring in New York, which of course gives me anxiety because you just know there’s going to be a giant snowstorm in the middle of Fashion Week, but I have my fingers and toesies and eyeballs crossed that the crisp, sunny weather sticks like the snow should be doing right about now.
Though I’ve been staring longingly out the window at the perfect weather while being chained to my desk with Fashion Week prep, this week has been surprisingly manageable (calm before the snow storm?). This weekend however, is going to be one giant whirlwind as I finalize schedules, attend a few fittings, start my apartment search (wh0 slipped me those crazy pills, honestly?), and of course, the Super Bowl, otherwise known as nachos fest. I’m hoping to get a bit of rest in there somewhere because there’s no need to get bags under my eyes before Fashion Week, since it’s pretty good at doing that for me by day 3. God, I love Fashion Week season!

As someone who dresses a little more simply on a day-to-day basis, details are really important to me. For example, I love it when pants are lined with a bright color or when a collar is decorated with studs. The Spring 2012 runways were full of details but the gold adornments were the ones that caught and nestled in my eye. I mean, who doesn’t love a little gold bling in their everyday wear?
To put my art history major to good use, let me just say that Balmain’s collection was like Art Deco meets Byzantium with its angular lines decked out in gold. And then there’s Valentino with those perfect gold studs that seem to be the brand’s new defining factor. Jill Stuart may have been an Easter egg in fabric and colors but the nails were bedazzled in gold dots that I’m officially dubbing my next DIY. Dries Van Noten dabbled in the metallic hue with hints of copper on their shoes and Gucci had an Art Deco 1920s collection that I’d give my first child for. But if I had to choose a single gold embellishment for my Spring 2012 wardrobe, I’d have to go with Yves Saint Laurent’s gold-plated pepto bismol pink loafers that I hope to buy the second they hit stores.

A Week in Review
Why is it that the first week back from a vacation (which also happens to be a short week) feels like the longest week ever. Aside from work and jumping on the cleanse wagon, this week has been pretty low key and I couldn’t be happier. With projects and Fashion Week lurking in the near future, I am savoring these nights that I can spend on my couch like a bum and have the lights off before 11PM. And as for this weekend, it’s looking to be pretty much the same – a bit of work and lots of downtime. I just hope it mimics this week in feeling like the longest weekend ever as well.
