well, i successfully survived day one of new york fashion week! and here’s what i wore on day one. the rainy weather was a bit unexpected for me: when i checked the forecast before packing, there didn’t appear to be any threat of rain, but by the time i arrived, it was clear that we were going to be experiencing thunderstorms and several inches of rainfall. fortunately, i did manage to stuff my silly new raincoat (which i discovered reading le blog de sushi) into my luggage! i got a lot of compliments, despite the fact that i am essentially wearing a plastic bag. albeit a very retro fun and slightly chic one, haha! and it really was the perfect compliment to my pretty family affairs dress. and even more fitting were these epic hanging chairs in the main lounge at the lucky fabb conference. obviously a clear choice for an impromptu photo shoot.
and speaking of fashion week, stay tuned for a lot of posts. yesterday i went to the steven alan presentation and the rachel comey show, so more pictures are on the way! and than you to rebecca for taking these photos!
dress: family affairs true blue dress
jacket: storets clear vinyl rain coat
shoes: vintage salvatore ferragamo
sunglasses: karen walker number six
lipstick: ysl rouge pur in le rouge

Such a cute outfit and fun back drop for the photos. x
I adore that raincoat – i’m not surprised you got a lot of compliments:) I really hope I can get to London Fashion Week in some capacity – fingers crossed! It’ll absolutely, definitely be raining there too I’m sure.
This is very very very Courrèges and pop, mod fashion is just for you
See U !
Oh my gosh, that raincoat plus those sunglasses plus that hair. So perfectly mod.

That raincoat is amazing! I’ve been eyeing a clearing raincoat for a little bit now, ever since I saw the Terra NY one in Lucky (I think it was Lucky, anyway!)
You’re dressed to perfection.

wow!! perfect! :)
Love Simple Green
the rain coat is cute & is perfectly paired with the dress…as well as that amazing chair
Eek! This disturbingly reminds me of Rose McGowan’s raincoat in Doom Generation. I mean, she did have awesome clothes in that movie, but I wouldn’t ever watch it again, if you know what I mean…
It must be super difficult to get good pictures with the light behind you like that – I am envious! And such beautiful, simple framing with the hanging chairs. Thumbs all up!
That must be, without a doubt, the cutest raincoat I have ever seen in my entire life! Got to love mod (my british past is speaking)!
Couture-ified transparent raincoat. Genius.

Ellen
Perfect everything, of course to had to take advantage of everything coming together in perfect mod unison!
I love the rain coat. I have been eyeing it on the Storets site.

You look so cute in that rain jacket! It’s so fun!
