In Spades

Style... in abundance

Fashion Friday

NYFW is in full swing.  The nostalgia of being there has me missing NYC, but I am happily watching the shows from home.  And there are so many good ones!

Let’s start with the trends.

What’s walked in NYC is mirroring what we saw at Copenhagen Fashion Week.  Suiting, knitwear sets, print mixing, and a heavy dose of color (specifically orange and lavender) are the main themes.

New York has also offered up a range of jeweled tones alongside those pastels, and the eveningwear is leaning towards cocoon dresses (which I love).

Hands down my favorite show so far is Peter Do.  This is the brand’s NYFW debut and they nailed it.

Reminiscing

This week marked the return of NYFW and I’m feeling all the nostalgia feels.  While I had been prepared to move on from NYFW (more on that here), the return of something that was once a big part of my life definitely has me missing NYC.

Here are some of my favorite NYFW moments over the years.

I was recently interviewed by Net Influencer and shared more about my NYFW experience.

Learning

I recently had a fabulous chat with two of my dear friends Cecelia and Conni.  They both introduced me to Advocate [The Label], an ethical clothing line dedicated to supporting victims of human trafficking.  I encourage you to read more about this amazing brand.

I’m wearing their signature white tee here.  If you’re looking for the perfect white t-shirt, this is it.  Bonus points: Vocabulary boutique carries them.

Reading

I picked up Olympus, Texas at the recommendation of a friend.  It has a slow start, but I’m really starting to enjoy it.  A passage from the book really stuck with me.  It said that when we endure something, our brain is triggered for the need for reward.  I couldn’t help but think about how this relates to the world’s behavior amidst a pandemic.

Indulging

I tend to invest in a new designer handbag every couple of years.  When I laid eyes on the 80s-est of 80s handbags, I fell in love.  It was, of course, only a matter of time before it came home with me.  Stay tuned for an Instagram Reel reveal.
