Tory Burch NYFW Spring 2013 Collection: A World of Difference

She’s come a long way, baby. I just love this collection, which is Tory Burch’s best to date.

DKNY NYFW Spring 2013 Collection: Springtime, and the Living’s Easy

Before the DKNY show began, we were treated to Karlie’s (yup, as in Kloss) Kookies before the show. How sweet since we rushed straight from Derek Lam and didn’t have time to eat lunch (we never seem to eat lunch during FW!). After indulging in a little sweetness, the fantastic pace, energy, and music set … Continue reading “DKNY NYFW Spring 2013 Collection: Springtime, and the Living’s Easy”
