Music Festival Fashioning

May 21, 2024

Over the past weekend, music festival season kicked off here in New York City. A few girlfriends and I spent Saturday gallivanting around Queens, which was a rather in-your-face reminder that, well, I’m gettin’ old.

Publicly rocking out the sounds of Calvin Harris - and soon, Vampire Weekend, Pretty Lights and St. Lucia — while soaking up some sun (not enough, apparently — those GAMS!) seems to naturally lend itself to street style best described as either beautifully bohemian or… Slutty Pocahontas. To each her own.

I didn’t attend Coachella this year, but this was an outfit I dreamt up a few weeks back during a bout of wishful thinking. Although I’d probably have opted to trade these insane Rocco pumps for a more modest pair of daytime flats.

A part of me wishes I was still raging in the company of teens and tweens up north, but a larger part is looking forward to the outdoor concerts ahead this summer: GovBall, music in Central Park, the list goes on. In a few week’s time, I’m making my first return to Chicago since the big move to New York for a three-day, non-stop festival extravaganza and reunion of friends. Excited is an understatement!

Back to Basics

September 6, 2023

September is my favorite month of the year. Not due to Fashion Week or the return of football season (though they’re certainly key players), but because it’s what I like to call sweatshirt weather.

… In my opinion, sweatshirt weather can be loosely defined by pairing any two items that you wouldn’t traditionally wear together, such as mini skirts and chunky knits, silk-chiffon and leather, or, like today, shorts and booties.

On another note, if you’re still carrying a Coach bag with that signature C pattern, there’s never been a better time to upgrade.

The brand’s new Legacy collection just launched, stripping down the signature pattern and drawing inspiration from its most coveted pieces from year’s past, giving it a more basic-yet-modern aesthetic of bright colors and graphic pattern-blocking. Think your mom’s vintage-style leather bags and cross-body purses with that old-school turn clasp, but better.

Yes, Coach. Let’s do get re-acquainted.
