Style Diary: Work Wear

I bought this crazy Miu Miu purse ages ago during a Barney’s Christmas clearance sale and ever since have affectionately called it my “puppy purse.”  With the Mongolian hair sticking out from the sides, people always wonder whether I’ve got a poodle in there.

Usually, I refrain from using it unless I’m heading to a fashion-oriented event like fashion week or a NY art party where my puppy purse works as a conversational piece and where people don’t think I’m entirely insane for carrying such a freak show of a purse.  Now that I work in fashion, I don’t need any outlandish events to rationalize my purse choice.  I can actually carry it to work!

Here I am in a couple outfits both utilizing the cardigan, sheath dress, necklace and belt combo while carrying the infamous puppy purse.

  • purse – miu miu
  • sleeveless brown dress – Ann Taylor
  • cardigan – Express
  • shoes – lovely people
  • gold chain necklace
  • ring – bought at off 5th
  • dress – Escada (sample sale)
  • cardigan shoes – Fergie
  • tote – Miu MIu (Barney’s sale)

This is today’s outfit.  I tempered down a semi-formal dress with a more casual cardigan.

  • dress – Bebe $50 (bought on sale)
  • cardigan – Target around $20
  • suede and alligator boots – Franco Sarto (got them for free on a modeling gig a long long time ago)
  • necklace – Forever 21 $around 20
  • ring – Off 5th $30

Do any of you have any fashion items that are too wild to wear on a normal day or even night out?  If so, I wanna hear about it!

She’s Got the Look

So is anyone else fascinated by the older girls’ version of “America’s Next Top Model,” otherwise known as “She’s Got the Look?”  It’s the perfect eye candy to have on while I blog.  So currently, it’s my DVR  go – to while I write this entry.

Being that I’m another year older, I so appreciate this show’s focus on beauty through the years.  Like Robert Verdi says, it “dispels the myth that beauty ends in the 20s.”

I love Robert Verdi!  He’s such a fab fashionista.  I’ve met him at Fashion Week as well as at a ABC Carpet event and he’s always a riot.
