Packing for trips is always a nightmare for me and trying to pack especially nice outfits for fashion week makes matters considerably worse. This outfit however, was something I put together ages ago and then patiently waited to wear. The dress is probably the prettiest thing I own right now and now that I've debuted it (ahem, on the day I had seats to Marc by Marc Jacobs!!!), I intended to wear it quite a bit more.

All also admit: I spent most of the day in flats. After all my stomping around New York in heels the other days, my feet were killing me and shortly after the Marc by Marc Jacobs show I kicked off these heels and into my Marais ballerinas, because the day was far from over! Every day was really packed from start to finish and while I loved everything I had the opportunity to do, I'm happy to be back home in Virginia now...editing posts from NYFW to put up shortly!

Outfit details:

vintage fur collar

Tulle coat via Shop Ruche

TBA dress

H&M tights

Home Library heels c/o Modcloth

Clinque lipstick

P.S. An old video tutorial I made for milkmaid braids.

I don't even know what that print is, but I think this is the most unique and dynamic piece you have! And that's saying a LOT.

You look gorgeous.

Gah! It's beautiful. The print. The pleated panels.The Peter Pan collar. The way your shoes and hosiery pick out the colours in the print. The way your tights match your lippy....!!

I love the dress, but I think that coat is just as pretty! In fact, I think this entire outfit is amazing, the way you put all the pieces together is incredible and definitely fashion-week worthy!

I LOVE IT!! What a great outfit! Just curious but what is on your dress? I think its flowers but I can't click on the individual photos to see what you have on your dress up close. Oh are you going to do another video with yourself speaking? It would be great if you do one about the fashion studios that you are attending. Just an idea. Thank you for reading this.

I looooove this outfit!!!! That dress is so amazing!!! Gosh!!! The mushroom is the most unique print I've ever seen for such a pretty dress, and together with the coat, the fur collar and everything, the colour combination, it's soooo lovely!

love it how the tights matches the accents of wine / red on the dress!

@Anonymous, thank you! The dress has a mushroom print (I know the pics are hard to click on, but you can right click & open them in a new window to view the full size). :)
I didn't shoot any talking videos (but I might be in a documentary that was shot while I was in NYC) & I'll think about making another talking video...I just have to have something interesting to say!

Can I ask you something?! How did you get entrance/invitations to fashion weeks?!?

Such an adorable dress :) Love the way you styled it, your braids always look awesom :)

I'm 100% in love with this dress. ...sigh...

I also want my hair to grow a bit longer so I can do justice to the Heidi braids!
LindsayFebruary 20, 2011 at 11:02 AM
You've got that great long hair so your braids are long and overlap each other. When I do my braids they barely overlap. I love how yours look. Lovely!
