Zofia: The Coveted Bag Fash-hole

Photography by Buck Wilde

Yesterday was September 15th. Mid-month to some.  Payday for others. For me, and thousands of other ladies, it was go time for the 3.1 Phillip Lim for Target collection. As those of you know, I love me a good designer-mass marketer collaboration and this one did not disappoint. As I am in the throws of wedding saving, I limited myself to one bag. I am happy to report that after staying up til 2am to buy online (gave up and later heard the bags went live at 4:19am...I would not have made it) and then sitting outside of Target starting at 7am, I scored the Pashli look alike mini satchel in mustard yellow and I love it. (I also love the price: original = $650; Target = $35. Yes, it's not leather and yes the quality isn't even close to being the same, but the look is practically identical and feels good that it came from his own design).

For my new little love's first outing, I paired it with this great maroon hat because I love the way the warm colors compliment each other and feel very Fall-ish. Since the weather is transitioning from Summer to Fall, I threw on my trusty distressed shorts with a simple white shell and my most comfortable wool tuxedo blazer. And I am wearing these boots every chance I get and will be all Fall. I'm warning you now. For more details on my look, read below:

Zofia: The Sheer Nightgown Fash-hole

Happy September Fash-holes! While we are still in the final throws of Summer (hey, it was 90s this week), I thought I would go back into the archives and post some of my favorite summer looks before Fall finally settles in. This outfit is from a wedding I attended this Summer at the beautiful Philadelphia Water Works for this absolutely stunning bride. I must admit, I love, love, love this whole look and felt like a million bucks in it. The dress was borrowed from my boss and is a vintage nightgown with a simple black slip underneath! And just happened to be that perfect midi length that is a huge trend for Fall and Spring. 

The other favorite part of this look was my hair. I went to see Tasha Jetter at AMS Luxury Salon because I heard she was the best (she used to work at the mothership, Bergdorf Goodman) and it was the only spot in Philly with a Braid Bar. Well, I was not disappointed. In less that 5 minutes Tasha had whipped my hair into a wrap around french braid that felt loose, fresh and romantic, but best of all, did not budge the entire night (and I am a huge head whipping dancer at weddings. Always throw my neck out. Always) and was only $20!! Anyways, Philly ladies, I highly recommend you check her out and she now does ponytails too!

Janette: The Sophisticated Shorts Fash-hole

Happy Friday Fash-holes! If you are in the northeast, then you too are experiencing this horribly rainy day. To cheer you up, today I am featuring this cutie I spotted out around Rittenhouse Square. What I love most about this look are her over-sized glasses and on-trend oxblood shorts. The jacket is very sweet, but could come off as too old on her if it weren't for pairing it with cute, colorful shorts and those amazing glasses! As Janette explained to me when I asked her about her style inspiration, this look is not her everyday street style, but she was out looking for a job so was more conservatively dressed than usual. I say with interview style like that, she's hired! Learn more about Janette and where to shop her look here:

 

Name: Janette

Age: 18

Occupation: Student at Temple University. Intern for Paula Hian

Style Inspiration/Icon: Janette explained that she was out looking for a job, so her style was a little different than her everyday street style. Normally, she wears grungy looks and likes to mix feminine and masculine pieces. Her style icons are Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen (two of my all time faves also!)

Favorite Place to Shop: H&M

What she is wearing

Jacket: Zara (get the look here or here)

Happy hump day Fash-holes! With today being Day 4, we are well on our way through Wharton Week, celebrating the Wharton Charity Fashion Show (see Day 1, Day 2 and Day 3). Today, I am featuring the gorgeous and bright Sonia. She immediately grabbed my attention with her wild, floral head-to-toe look. What I love most about this look is that she made it look effortless and easy to pull off, which it is not. She achieved this by keeping her accessories simple and letting her outfit speak for itself. I also thought her hair was a fabulous topping to this crazy cool ensemble.

Zofia: The Royal Blue Fash-hole

 TGIF Fash-holes! I am so excited for the special "Wharton Week" I have planned starting tomorrow featuring runway shots and individuals from the Wharton Charity Fashion Show, but for today, I wanted to share a look of mine from a couple of weekends ago since it has been a hot minute since I featured myself on here! This look comes from a Sunday when I attended the most incredible play called "Edith Can Shoot Things and Hit Them" produced by the innovative Theatre Confetti. As the temps are warming up (slowwlllyyy but surely), I still have to wear coats, but I refuse to wear my winter jacket, so I have been layering up my spring jackets to keep me warm. I am also on a royal blue kick that started with this uber comfy shirt with a sexy open back (for this day look, I paired it with a flirty tank top. But for night, I just rock a lace back bra, a la Carrie Bradshaw) and continued with the purchase of this Emma Fox bag that I absolutely adore. Learn more about my look here:
