This is an outfit.




Hey guys!  I'm in New York right now, just hanging around.  I had some downtime so I thought I would post an outfit set.  The Kimberly Ovitz shirt I have is huge.  It's so loose around the shoulders and very baggy.  It's a definite must to wear a shirt underneath with this one.

I'm so excited to do some shopping in New York.  Oak was one of the first places I went to.  But there's another store, so I gotta check that one out tomorrow.

Have a great weekend everyone!

Leather Jacket - Gestuz
Top - Kimberly Ovitz
Pants - Helmut Lang
Boots - Cheap Monday Angle Low Boots

This is Helmut L.

Here are my fave looks from Helmut Lang's new collection.  I especially adore that first look.  The layer upon layers!!  I really like that cape with the huge funnel neck.  I always have loved Helmut Lang for their outerwear, always incorporating shearling and fur into their heavy winter coats, and these new pieces are so fabulous.  And that black suit with red dye/bleaching treatment on it is such a unique look...so bold and so strong.   I'm a big fan of this year, I'm almost speechless!

This is kimberly.










I know you will probably be so tired of seeing these runway posts, but I need to keep up with my favorite designers new lines!  Hopefully, I won't post too many of them and make you sick of me..boo boo.  

Kimberly Ovitz is one of the first designers that made me actually think about what to wear .  When I saw her clothes for the first time, I thought, 'This is the type of woman I want to be--strong, independent, unique, and admirable.'  I really adore her design aesthetic.  It's always so dark (not at all in color or weight but in expression)...even her more feminine drapey pieces have a sort of darkness to them that's very captivating.

Her new stuff is equally soo.  And I know that there's that trend of tough stylish hacker goth (due to Girl with Dragon...still love the H&M line by Trish Summerville btw) but Kimberly Ovitz's new collection is not all all ripping that off.  Rather, I feel like she is one of the first who really embraced that look, and has really pushed the limits of that style so well.

All the layered pieces are superb.  The prints, fur, and leather layers mesh so well together.  The long dress is so striking.  Simple yet chic.  I really love the detail on the short dress and it's complex geometries on the dress itself.  The same goes with the leggings in the last picture.  I feel like I'm looking at ancient hieroglyphs when I really look at those legging pants.  So fantastic.

What do you guys think? ^_^

This is OAK.










Oak NYC (one of my favorite stores) is having their 304050 sale.  One of my favorite times of the year since I very well could buy everything in this store if I could.  The buyers of this showroom have the most amazing sense of style and fashion...everything from Rick Owens to Alexander Wang to Kai-Aakmann  More importantly, the OAK brand is quite incredible as well.  I have a number of their plain tees, and they're the softest things I have ever worn...quite possibly the most comfortable tees ever (and I'm comparing to Alexander Wang and Helmut Lang).

They're also known for their really skinny black jeans...which I have yet to try.  They're so skinny that they encourage you to size up...plus they're unisex.  How cool is that!

Most of their stuff are  of the black, white, neutral variety.  That's my color palette.  This is my number one store. Their site is always up my tabs, and I'm always visiting here when I'm in NYC.  I hope you enjoy!!!
