Fashion Week is fast approaching and when staring at my closet in preparation, I'm faced with that eternal quandary: "I don't have a thing to wear." And with the winter and lack of funds and all, it's been a long while since I've been desperately seeking anything. So I figured it's about time I started building on what I already have and also bring in some early spring pieces to brighten things up a bit. My approach is to always have a few pieces to mix and match and basically plan out my outfits ahead of time as not to have major pre-show anxiety and inability to leave the house because I can't wear a thing besides yoga pants.

What I'm thinking is a mix of knits and lace to evoke the romanticism of mid February (there are shows on Valentine's Day and all), a few soft tops to mix with tight black pants and skinny jeans, a pair of black all purpose ankle booties (Forever 21 happens to make my most favorite ones, and I had looked EVERYWHERE), high wasted paper bag trousers to mix with tanks and cardigans and some of the afore mentioned soft tops, delicious fingerless cashmere gloves to get you from Bryant Park to Milk Studios warmly enough and still being able to twitter constant updates, and yet another all purpose black accessory a fold over black bag. And let's add to that a long sleeved red dress for those party nights. It's a mix of Alexa Chung with 90s minimalism that's sure to blend in with the rest of the pieces in my ever expanding, ever useless wardrobe.

After all, Fashion Week is as much about looking fabulous and getting a chance to play around with your look as it is about taking in the newest trends catwalk side.

get your grammy on...

Ok so I will admit that I wasn't totally glued to the Grammy's red carpet last night. Yes it's a great event and there are tons of very interesting very gutsy fashion risks, but for the most part it's not my cup of tea. I understand the out there choices and that it's one of the events where the music community can play around with fashion and really play dress up to an extent. So I'm foregoing the Grammy coverage in lieu of a few more down to earth things. Don't hate me.

However, I'm leaving you in the most capable of hands for all of your Grammy fashion coverage. Head over to our friends at FabSugar and check out Fab TV's video coverage of one of the year's most interesting red carpets. They even have E!'s 360 cam, how can you possibly resist?

Take a look at Rihanna below and much more at Fab TV!

Daily Style: The Sundance Edition...

27Jan10

Remember when Sundance was just this small little film festival in a small quaint little mountain town? It didn't attract a ton of attention and some pretty spectacular films came out of it. Well amazing movies are still screened at Sundance but the amount of attention has certainly changed (insert T-Mobile diner, MySpace cafe, Muscle Milk lounge, etc etc here) Though I've said it before and I'll say it again, my most favorite thing about Sundance is that at heart it's still an indie film festival. And the red carpets are treated as such. There are no slinky dresses or fancy updos here - the dress code is mostly jeans, snow boots and puffy jackets. You have to hand it to the starlet who can manage to look uber cool under many many layers...

sundance style: the romantics edition...

27Jan10

Is there a more appropriate pairing than deliciously soft cashmere and Sundance? Quintessential cashmere powerhouse Magaschoni hit the slopes last night to throw one amazing dinner party for the cast of one of Sundance's most anticipated flicks, The Romantics. That's right, the one starring Katie Holmes, Josh Duhamel, Adam Brody, Elijah Wood, Malin Ackerman, Anna Paquin and Dianna Agron. All hail the return of Seth Cohen!

Midst tons of snow a Tom-less Katie, a plus Fergie Josh, my most favorite Seth Cohen, Mr. Frodo and Malin Ackerman (apparently the belle of the Sundance ball) headed to the Stein Erickson lodge in Park City to not only get covered in cashmere (check out the wraps and scarves around the chairs, makes me warm and cozy just looking at them) but to fete each other and the film's producers. Can you tell I'm dying to see this movie?
