Bright Snow Shiny Day! (And winner of Asos coat giveaway announced!)

Posted on February 10, 2013 by thefashionminx

Hello from snow buried NYC!!! As most of the world knows, NYC, and the surrounding areas of New England were covered in a blanket of snow this weekend. (The timing of “Nemo” hitting us at the start of Fashion Week was definitely NOT ideal!) But, I can’t say it’s not beautiful! Me, being the stubborn fashionista that I am, insisted on wearing my tall wedge Steve Madden boots despite the thick ice and snow. You should have seen the look on my boyfriend’s face when I emerged from the bedroom in these! We had a meeting in our neighborhood, so I figured walking a few blocks to brunch in these babies wouldn’t be bad. After all…..there is rubber on the bottom! Boy, was I wrong! All I can say is thank God for railings,parked cars, and my boyfriend to hold on to! LOL Since it was so cold, I opted to put a warm fur vest over my wool Mackage coat. I love layering vests over coats to give them a fresh look. I also love the look of fur over coats, and this is a great way to get that look without spending a ton of money. It’s also a good way to wear old coats, and make them look new again! The vest was an ebay find btw. 😉 Lastly, I wore bright blue cobalt to brighten up the black, and as you know from THIS POST, I love neon brights in Winter! How are you dressing for the storm? Tell me in the comments below.

Anyway, this has been an exciting weekend so far. My boyfriend, an up and coming actor and comedian, (and a pretty good blog photographer if I do say so myself), appeared on national television yesterday, and had host Vinnie Politan laughing in stitches on HLN’S Making it in America. If you want to laugh, click here to watch the video.

Lastly, the moment we have all been waiting for! The winner of my Asos Leopard Coat Giveaway! The winner is Annie! I will be contacting her now! Congrats Annie! The winner was picked randomly. Stay tuned for TWO more giveaways this month!!! And thanks for reading! Continue to follow me on Facebook, and Twitter for more updates and giveaways!

High Fashion in Machine City

Posted on January 22, 2013 by thefashionminx

We spent this past Sunday at the Motorcycle show at the Javitz Center. What gorgeous bikes! I especially loved this yellow one. Think it matches my outfit? LOL

There is something so badass about riding a motorcycle in a skirt and heels. I had images of myself hightailing it out of NYC on my yellow bike-very Bonnie and Clyde. Too bad I don’t know how to ride bikes. 🙁

My boyfriend Chris, and his good friend Pedja had the chance to try out some awesome bikes. Although, this one was more like a cross between a bike and a car. Can’t believe it’s street legal!

My Celine bag was perfect to lug around all my stuff, and to carry around any goodies I decided to buy while there. 😉

Gorgeous handmade jewelry made from hematite. I especially loved the rainbow bracelets.

Table full of patches, and hand painted helmets…………

Of course, this pink bike caught my eye.

I even found a pink helmet to match 😉

I LOVED the Harley-Davidson art by UHL Studios! Gorgeous artwork! I was tempted to take something home!

This was one of my favorites.

The model for the painting was at the show! Too cool!

Pedja almost took this large one home………. (The painting….not me ;-))

Naturally, I was attracted to this bike with the leopard seat. LOVE the copper elements also. So retro. It’s gorgeous! I would even love to have it on display in our apt, next to my leopard coats and bags. (Chris said no to this idea. LOL)

I didn’t take any bikes home, but maybe next time. 😉 I love the pop of floral in my skirt against the black I was wearing. I love mixing things like black motorcycle boots with floral patterns to combine masculine with feminine. I thought this was the perfect look for a bike show.
XOXOXO

Sweet Friday- Cupcakes and Camouflage

Posted on January 12, 2013 by thefashionminx

We spent a very sweet night at Martha’s Bakery in Astoria. 😉

The cakes and cupcakes here are simply amazing.

Strawberry please………..

I went on a cupcake date tonight with my incredible boyfriend, (who also happens to be my photographer). We love Martha’s Bakery in our neighborhood! The baked goods are made fresh daily and rival almost any bakery you can name. My favorite is the red velvet. 😉 It was a very rainy night, so I went casual in my skinny jeans, and brightened up the look with a neon cashmere sweater from J Crew, under a camo studded jacket from Zara. I love mixing patterns and colors. I am also loving neon lately, as you can see from my nails, and latest blog posts. Maybe it’s because it’s so dark lately in NYC…….. wearing bright colors just seems to make you feel happier. 😉 Hope you have a fabulous weekend!
xoxo

The Fashion Minx and The Sequin Cinderella in NYC!!!

Posted on December 12, 2012 by thefashionminx

So excited to finally meet Nicola in person!!!

I was lucky enough to meet and work with the fabulous, and well known Irish blogger Nicola from The Sequin Cinderella! This was Nicola’s first trip to NYC, and she loved it! For our shoot, we chose Times Square, the heart of NYC as our location. We chose to wear skirts and dresses mixed with boots which give off a tough/feminine look- which is perfect for this city. We hit Sephora, walked around Times Square, and had fun with some police officers! Of course, we also talked shopping, finding deals in the city, and ways to protect yourself from the harsh NYC winter temps while still showcasing your style! Read on for details on on what we were wearing and our tips for chic winter style! xoxoxo

(Nicola and I clowning around in Sephora! Think we could get jobs as live mannequins?)

(Nicola’s boyfriend Alan and my boyfriend Chris enjoying dinner with us at The Brooklyn Diner)

(The four of us at dinner after a long night of shooting and hanging out in Times Square)

It was a very cold night, which called for a lot of layering! I am a huge fan of fur vests because you can layer them under, or above a coat or jacket! (That night I did both) I wore my blue feather vest from Topshop. I love the texture of it, and it’s super warm! There are tons of adorable fur vests out there, both real and faux. I also love THIS ONE, THIS ONE, and THIS ONE. Nicola wore a gorgeous lace dress from Zara with studded boots by Chiara Ferragni. I love the look of a feminine lace dress mixed with tough biker style boots. Similar dresses HERE, and HERE. Also, I love these studded boots by ASH. I went with a cobalt blue theme, wearing my blue Celine (similar bag HERE) , blue J Crew top, and my blue bubble necklace. Oh….and my cobalt blue YSL ARTY RING. (They were recently discontinued, so if you are lusting after one, get one now!!)

Top: J Crew, Skirt: Forever 21, Feather vest: Topshop, (similar HERE and HERE), Necklace: J Crew bubble necklace, Ring: YSL Arty ring (Get one before they sell out!
