New York City Blackout

NYC Blackout

In New York City everyone always seems to be wearing black. Though this seemingly eternal trend transcends seasons, it’s most apparent in the winter. Personally, I love wearing black. Not only is it slimming, but it never fails to give you a classically dressy look that can be worn to almost any event or occasion. While it’s fun to play with color, black can take you from the office, to dinner and finally to drinks at the club without ever having to change. After all, what New Yorker has time to change?

To get this New York girl boss look I wore LC Lauren Conrad Seamed Knit Pants, a black cami, a fitted blazer, a black wool floppy hat and Cliffs by White Mountain Women’s Frame Boots.

Experience the Classic Custom Designs of Lauren Gabrielson

As an Aspiring Socialite, I can truly relate to young up-in-coming designers.   Lauren Gabrielson, is a hot young designer and entrepreneur who has hit the scene with some of the classiest Blake Lively style outfits on the market.  The 23-year-old who opened her first store in Sag Harbor in the summer of 2010 has created some of the most incredibly sophisticated designs destined to hit the red carpet.  Gabrielson’s line is centered on fabric quality.   Since everything is designed and produced in New York, the quality is the best of the best and supports the local economy.

As a designer who understands that no two socialites are alike or want to be seen wearing the same outfit which could result in a disaster, custom-made outfits are also available with short two week turnover.   I highly recommend looking into her for custom bridesmaid dresses.   Her clothes are so flattering and classic that your friends will love you for it.   Though being a bridezilla is a natural reaction to wanting a perfect wedding day, I have no patience for brides who are insecure enough to purposely make their bridesmaids look bad.   Watch out for Lauren Gabrielson because her signature Layered Chiffon Dress is said to become as iconic as “the wrap.”  This classic design both accentuates and adds a slimming effect to the waistline making it a must-have.   Other style dresses include adorable 60s and 20s inspired designs along with the incredibly figure flattering Juliet Dress which looked impeccable on Real Housewife of New York, Bethenny Frankel.

Want more of Lauren Gabrielson?  For a custom made outfit, make an appointment to visit her showroom on Madison Ave. For fab off the rack merchandise visit her world class boutique downtown on Mott St. You can also follow her on Facebook and Twitter.

Is Wearing Shorts with Tights OMG or WTF?

Leggings seem to have found a permanent home in New York City. But, what about the recent trend of wearing shorts over tights? Though I am usually very opinionated when it comes to fashion as to whether something is socialite or not, I am quite conflicted when it comes to the concept of wearing shorts with tights. Throughout spring and fall when the weather is often unpredictable and neither warm nor cold, the shorts/tights combo is an excellent way to incorporate summer and winter clothing in the same outfit. If you get caught in the rain, boots can really compliment this look.

Lately, I have been seeing numerous New Yorkers sporting this trend. While some fashion moguls who sport this style are some of the chicest people bound to turn heads as they strut down Fifth Ave.’s shopping meccas, others look sloppy and inappropriate in this controversial combination. For this reason, I have yet to take the town dressed in such an unlikely union. However, seeing that this is an excellent way to make the wardrobe transition between spring and summer, you may see me wearing denim over nylon very soon.
