Cheers from New York Fashion Week!

I don't always go to NYFW (I prefer Paris in general) but when I do I make a statement. 

Boots: Fiorentini + Baker, Jeans: Rag & Bone, Tee: Uniqlo, Glasses: Ray-Ban, Bag: Givenchy

You betta watch yoself because FASHION WEEK IS HAPPENING AND IT IS SO INTENSE. WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN? WILL ANNA WINTOUR SMILE? WILL MICHAEL KORS PROVE AGAIN THAT HE IS BETTER AT WINTER THAN SPRING? WHAT WILL ADR WEAR ON HER HEAD? IS CORN GOING TO BE A MAJOR THEME FOR SPRING 2014?
I have so many questions.

Fortunately there are things that are helping tide me over until I can answer these burning questions. Things such as the Pierre Balmain collection:

 How did you find me here?

 

I've been waiting for the bathroom FOREVER.

 

SIDE MAN BOOB

 

I got in an accident and have to wear this body cast until the next collection.

 

I SAID JUST THE TIP.

Or Jason Wu:

 This just slapped the peplum into next spring. DAMNIT.

 It's like the bat signal on her chest but sexy.

 SHE'S SWIMMING IN DIAMONDS

 I hate your hair, Karlie.

Thanks GP for the side butt!

Or Rebecca Minkoff:

 I hate the bride so much.

 WHO'S READY FOR COACHELLA?

I don't know why but this makes me want to play soccer and get margaritas. I DON'T KNOW.

Oh and thanks for the amazing tank RM. You're a babe.

Balenciaga Men's Spring 2014

Since Alexander Wang premiered his first collection for Balenciaga back in Paris Fashion Week this spring, I've been waiting eagerly to see what he offered up for his first men's collection, and he certainly delivered.
Verdict? Perfectly modern, as though Star Wars and Barney's had an incredibly chic baby.

 The safety pin closure is a nice punkish touch on an otherwise very elegant jacket. It would be appropriate to wear when receiving your medal for heroism from Princess Leia.

 Can somebody say texture? I've been ogling that overcoat all day...need it in my life, you know, for when I'm battling the dark side with my lightsaber.

The tonal effect here is incredible, not too much but just enough. I would wear this at that weird jazz club on Tatooine. You know, if I ever decide to go. I heard their tequila selection is pretty limited.

Head over to style.com to see the rest of the collection.

Love,

Patty

Band of Outsiders Men's Spring 2014

Alright, normally their clothes aren't quite what draws my attention-I'm more of a Balmain, Balenciaga, Ann Demeulemeester boy, but for Spring 2014 Band of Outsiders pulled out some pretty good stops, enough so to make me brake for squirrels, or whatever. Maybe it was just the casting of Devendra Banhart as their mannequin-which was GENIUS-but either way I was definitely thrown by the great casual mix of elegant and beachy.
It made me want to be a skater in LA in the 90s, which is something I would NEVER want...so way to go BOO.

That moment after a homeless guy flashes you and you realize it isn't his junk he's showing you but actually his awesome seafoam chinos.

White with a black collar? Tres chic. Although that circle window makes it look like he's on a cruise.

Now wave goodbye to your friends as you board said cruise, in an amazing camel jacket. But seriously don't go on a cruise; they're creepy. Have you seen Ghost Ship?

I love it when men wear a topcoat. You can't beat it. Just wear it like you're Kate Moss and it's a fabulous Fendi fur.

Love,

Patty
