Custo Barcelona NYFW F/W 2018

Custo Barcelona’s Fall Winter 2018-19 collection was designed for women “wanting to freely express their individuality and strength in the face of life’s many challenges.”  We knew he had a penchant for colors and prints so we wore a coordinated set of trendy velvet blues and wines, leopard coats and a floral print on my dress.  And much to our expectation, the runway popped with colors that really came alive against the starck NYC dreary grey backdrop.  His fabrics for this collection ranged from velvets, silks, jacquards, nylon and lace.  And much of it shimmered and shined which caught the eye of both me and my little one. There was SO much sheen on everything from coats to maxis to minis! Going with the maximalist trend that I saw on a lot of runways this season, and staying true to his signature style, there was a focus on embellishment, pattern and fabric mixing and patchwork detailing.

We had a blast watching from the sidelines and were so thankful to make more mommy and me memories on the catwalk!

Insanely Instagramable Soho Stores Can You Guess What They Are?

4 Instagramable Soho Stores within a 2 block radius

 

Everyone asks me how I find these perfect, Instagramable backdrops for our pictures.  And honestly, if it’s not through social media finds, it’s just from constantly being out and about in New York City.  We are lucky to live in such a fashionable, artsy, and cool city where visuals are created by the best window designers, street artists, and creatives.  Just walking through SOHO, a downtown shopping district will give you endless opportunities for Instagram-able shots for instance.  Here, I’ve listed 4 must-see stops for a quick gram-worthy photo, all within a couple blocks of one another. ‘Cuz don’t you hate those lists that have you hopping all over town? 

  1. Dolce & Gabbana Obsessed with the cool-kid culture of NYC and Millenial madness for Instagramable spots, designers, Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana dedicated this former fire station into a concept store/clubhouse.  Every corner, every wall, every stairwell has a picture – perfect moment.  And we couldn’t get enough.  TIP – wear your leopard print(s) to best match the interior and get the most amazing selfies!leopard fashion, leopard print, minifashionista, dolce gabbana kids, dolce gabbana model, dolce gabbana sohoAddress 155 Mercer St, New York, NY dolce and gabbana soho, instagramable nyc, instagramable soho, soho nyc, soho shopping
  2. Prada Even if you’re not a fashion freak you will enjoy marveling at this 23,000 sq. ft. architectural Soho store designed by Rem Koolhaas.  Riding the circular glass elevator and changing in the translucent dressing rooms that turn opaque at the touch of a button, will make you feel like you’ve transported yourself to the future.  Definitely worth a stop and a shop!
