NYFW: A Look Back at September 2012

Wednesday, February 13, 2013
To mourn the first New York Fashion Week that I've missed in 4 seasons, and to celebrate the wrap up of this season's NYFW, I bring you, 2 looks from September 2012.

Event: The Sartorialist x Secret Location

Wednesday, December 5, 2012
Vancouverites, the Mayans must've been right; the end must be near. Why else would fashion's most famous blogger grace us with his presence?

Yes, ladies and gentlemen, The Sartorialist was here.


We came, we saw, he signed books (and prints), and was just a delight.

We were discussing how he picked the images for his prints
Aside from how he picked the images that were made into prints (he felt that they all kind of represented places he's visited), we also briefly discussed something, or someone, new to his site...

Last week, my friend Justin tweeted that his "first post" was up on The Sartorialist. Puzzled, I clicked through.
As it turns out, Justin (of Tucked Style) is the newest member of The Sartorialist team as the Men's Fashion Editor. He's crazy, fun, knows his menswear, and is a very talented photographer. I strongly recommend checking out his blog.

Being in Vancouver, I often forget that in other places, particularly in the US, people actually blog for a living. In fact, they not only blog for a living, but in Scott's case, he can gainfully employ others - not just have free interns (that BoF article is extremely interesting, by the way).

But that's a topic for a different post.

Event: Little Burgundy Spring 2013 Preview

Tuesday, October 2, 2012
Last week I attended the Little Burgundy Spring 2013 media preview at their new store on Robson.

Little Burgundy is the go-to destination for shoppers looking for branded footwear (and accessories) to rock on the streets or at the office. They have 30 locations across the country, and are able to provide a boutique feel in their locations. The updated Robson location boasts a custom lounge designed by the team at Vans OTW.

Even though Summer just ended, and I'd finally come to accept Fall (and all that comes with it: boots, socks, sweaters, scarves, hot chocolate...), seeing the Little Burgundy Spring'13 collection made me really excited for warm weather, bare legs, dresses with cool sneakers....

What month is it again?

Madonna's Truth or Dare line
Hats, Herschel, and Obey for the boys
Gorgeous women's leather boots from Spain
Cute spring bags
Amazing desert boots with contrasting soles - men, take note
Kicks for the men (and Obey hats)
Love these from Vans OTW

Hamming it up? No, that's just my face

My Favourite NYFW Moments

Thursday, March 29, 2012
And so my NYFW coverage comes to an end (finally!). Here are some moments that were caught on camera but I haven't posted yet (including 2 of my favourites). Can you believe that we get to do all this again in 6 months?? Hopefully my liver's recovered by then - doubtful.

The single most amazing (& heavy) sweater I've ever seen. 
Knit coat from Michael Angel. So luxurious that I didn't want to take it off.
Keeping it classy at the Otte x Concept Korea party (blame the open bar).

Media Frenzy!
A hard day's work.

NYFW Outfit: Prepster

Wednesday, February 15, 2012
You don't have to tell me that I've been the WORST at posting this NYFW, I'm fully aware. I swear that as much as I love New York, it's this weird time eating vortex. Especially during Fashion Week. Which, is kind of ironic since Fashion Week is so busy that you don't get to eat. It's probably the most unhealthy week of life, ever. You're running around to shows all over the city, there's nowhere by the Lincoln Center that you can grab a quick bite to eat, there are parties every night, and you get little to no sleep (hence the sunnies).

Getting back to business. You can blame Niki for the fuzzy shot. <3
