WEEKLY STYLE LUST: 3.1 PHILLIP LIM NOW AT TARGET

Yesterday marked the launch of the 3.1 Phillip Lim for Target collection online and in store. The collection features women’s and men’s apparel, men’s footwear and accessories and women’s handbags. While many items in the collection can be purchased from their website, Target.com, some items can only be purchased in store. These include mostly handbags. The men’s collection appears full of Fall basics with muted colors of oatmeal, black and grey. The women’s collection includes splashes of brights like yellow, purple and royal blue. Most of the women’s collection seems appropriate for work while it does include a few casual pieces like the yellow leopard skirt and the ‘BOOM!’ sweatshirt. The biggest seller of this collection is sure to be the handbags that feature great details, come in an array of sizes to fit every woman’s need and are available in colors that will compliment all of your fall wardrobes. Check out some of my picks from the collection: 

FALL WARDROBE REVAMP: DRESSES

The best season of the year is finally upon us, Fall!!! Well, at least it’s my favorite season of the year. For one, the temperature is warm enough that you don’t need to wear a parka (hehe) but cool enough that you're not sweating, or glistening as I like to say, and it’s the best season for hair! I love the fall season most specifically for the clothes: layers, booties and jackets oh my!

The fall season is the perfect time to revamp your wardrobe. I’m kicking off my fall wardrobe revamp series highlighting some of my favorite dresses( below). Check back for pants next…

HOW TO SURVIVE FASHION WEEK

Today kicks off the Mercedes Benz Fashion Week shows for Spring/Summer 2014. Although we’ve barely been able to step out in our Fall ‘13 attire Spring twenty fourteen will be here before you know it. Most people who attend the shows and events know that outside of model clad streets, NYFW also means lack of sleep, going hours without food, and aching feet. Here’s a few things to help the craze of Fashion Week move a little smoother. 

1.Ephiphanie Camel Clover Laptop + Camera Bag, $185 ephiphaniebags.com: This chic multifuncational bag combines  fashion & funcation with the space and interior ability to hold a 15” laptop, a camera plus attached lenses, flash drive, battery pack, wallet, keys, cellphones, memory card and more. 

2.Pinch Provisions Mimimergency Kit, $13 pinchprovisions.com: If you’ve seen my ‘Mommy Essentials for Back to School’ post then you’ve seen these Pinch Provisions kits before. Lose a button in between shows? No worries, this minimergency kit includes needle and thread. Have a slight hair emergency? Don’t fret, this kit includes a hairspray and 16 other things that will come in handy when you’re in a…..well, ‘pinch’.

3.Ioma Paris Soothing Gel for Legs, $75 saksfifthavenue.com: This magical gel boots microcirculation, strengthens vein walls and provides instant long-lasting coolness. Just what you need to cure sore, tired legs after a long day at the “tents”.

4.Boostcase Hybrid Battery for iPhone 5, $99 boostcase.com: A booked NYFW schedule can mean hours before getting to the nearest outlet so be sure to have a battery back-up like this external battery case by Boostcase.

7.Business Cards, $10 - $50: Your business card is probably the most powerful asset you can have when it comes to getting access to shows and events during NYFW. Get a generic version from sites like Vistaprint or Moo or get a custom design like mine designed by @mafiamartin.

8.Nuero Sonic Water, $3 amazon.com: Stay alert with this drink’s powerful “brain support” blend that gives the energy boost needed plus experience more alertness and concentration. Just what you need to refocus and push through the rest of the day.
