On Sunday, I hit up GenArt’s Fresh Faces fashion show to see my girl Gretchen Jones. Her collection rocked—more on her eponymous label’s spring fashion, here—and I ran into a a bunch of friends including Johanna Bjork of Goodlifer.com, pictured above.

I wore a vintage white wool vest by Liz Claiborne; black wool narrow cut trousers by Theory (via Beacon’s Closet thrift shop); Zara pumps from S/S 2011; a vintage leather bag (via a flea market); a vintage black headpiece (via Market Publique thrift shop); and gold vintage jewelry, including my grandmother’s heirloom broach that also doubles as a necklace.

Reformation opened their flagship boutique in SoHo during New York Fashion this week and I popped by to check out their collection of upcycled vintage clothing. Creative director Yael Aflalo creates one-of-a-kind garments using surplus materials. I especially loved an army jacket that had unexpected details like a fur collar and bright woven shoulder patches. The store also features carefully curated vintage accessories like classic Salvatore Ferragamo heels.

Presentation is key: the flagship has an open layout with bright energy-saving lights and also incorporates natural elements like birchwood.

I also popped into the photobooth for a little incognito fun. I snagged this green leather vintage bag at a flea market ($26) and I am letting it have the limelight—for now, at least.

Visit Reformation at 23 Howard Street in New York City.

Wednesday night, I braved the bizarre weather in NYC and trekked to Riverpark Farm at the Alexandria Center all in the name of sunglasses. New functional-yet-fashionable Zeal Optics hosted a to-die-for dinner, which was sourced from the farm next door, to launch their Spring 2013 line.

I’m wearing the “Darby” sunnies from the line and I can’t wait ‘till they come out—though, full disclosure, they’re gifting me with a pair when they do. Until then, keep tuned for my review.

I’m also donning Amour Vert’s Carmel Riviera peace silk dress, Naya’s Wind Sandals, and a Coach bag.

This weekend, I spent a few days with family in Cape May, NJ, here’s a look at my laid-back summer style.

For a casual dinner night out I wore a bright silk vintage skirt that I’ve had for years—it also can be worn as a top. I paired it with a white tank top, a somewhat-visible black lace bra, gold ballet flats, an orange pashmina, and a Coach bag. Since it’s summer, I have little patience with makeup so I kept it pretty natural with minimal cosmetics and towel-dried hair.

The 6th annual Independent Handbag Designer Awards ceremony took place Wednesday night at the Time & Life building in New York City this week. Even though I was a judge—and viewed more than 1,000 handbag entries from around the world in the judging process—I had no idea who was going to win come awards night. Find out which independent designers across seven categories won over at InStyle.com, including my faves, the classic and timeless handbag by J.Lane and Ita Collection’s bright clutch. I was bummed Jess Ruzzuti didn’t take home the price for her innovative cork creation, which hardly looks like cork by the way.

To walk the red carpet, I wore a dress from one of my favorite designers CrOp by David Peck’s spring 2012 collection, which I coincidentally got an exclusive first look at back during fashion week last year for Discovery’s TreeHugger.com. Read it, here: Quirky Prints, Timeless Silhouettes in Crop by David Peck Spring 2012

I paired David Peck’s gorgeous white silk dress with yellow silk Prada pumps that have a gold heel; a seashell-inspired vintage clutch that I scored from Elba at the Seventh Avenue flea market in Park Slope, Brooklyn; a huge Marc Jacobs bobble ring, and colorful vintage clip-on earrings, a gift from my younger sister.

The judging is finished, now it’s on to the fun part: the 6th Annual Independent Handbag Designer Awards are tomorrow—read all the good and great deets, here—and I have finally chosen a CrOp by David Peck dress to wear to the awards ceremony (thanks to all my Instagram followers for helping me decide).

Here’s a look back at the top dresses from David’s spring and fall 2012 collections! Curious to know which one I picked—and how I styled it? Keep tuned for plenty of pics and live updates tomorrow night on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram, where I’ll be sharing all the fun!

Big thanks to CrOp by David Peck and Autumn PR.

Friday, I checked out my friend Liam Alexander’s Photobooth Project party at Wix Lounge in New York City before heading to another friend’s birthday party. I had fun posing for a ton of pics with my friend Charlotte.

Here’s an old-fashioned look at what I wore: a black vintage-inspired What Goes Around Comes Around dress, a hand-me-down from my cousin Monica. I paired it with a tan vintage Fendi purse, tan platform pumps, and no jewelry (except my Dennis bracelet that doesn’t come off…so it doesn’t count).

The Canadian Tuxedo is a trend that just keeps giving—note: I’m not actually wearing a denim on denim ensemble but rather jeans and a light blue cotton tank top; the effect, however, is still the same.

I stole away from New York this past weekend for some much needed R&R at my cousin Monica Rodger’s oasis in Rhode Island. I visited my long-time beau, Jay Gatsby, in Newport, did my usual thrift store shopping, and spent oodles and oodles of time catching up with my dear cousin, the woman empowering women with The Revelation Project.

For my last day in the Ocean State, we strolled around town and took “a drive” on Ocean Drive en route to the train station.

Dressed in my DIY Daisy Dukes—appropriate attire for Doris Dukes’ estate, no?—and a Short(s) Version of The Canadian Tuxedo, I took in coastal views and jammed to tunes by Bruno Mars, obviously.

The jeans are vintage Bill Blass that I found at a thrift store, aka Goodwill, in Pennsylvania for about $5. I chopped off the legs, gave them a wash and a roll and that’s it: DIY Daisy’s in a nutshell.

The Great GoogaMooga has come and gone and it was an experience for sure to see my dear Prospect Park transformed into a food, booze, and music fest for a weekend.

Most notable was spending time with my friends while we basked in the glorious sunshine and spent the rest of the time waiting in lines, long lines, in fact the entire event was a sea of lines. Notably missing was cell phone service, hence the delay in my uploading PastFashionFuture Instagram snaps.

My Great GoogaMooga Style: a white racer-back tank top, borrowed from a friend; a vintage Fendi purse, $25 via Elba at the Park Slope flea market; a drawstring Banana Republic skirt, $8 at Housing Works, a beige MaxMara cashmere sweater (not pictured), Chloé sunglasses, vintage gold costume jewelry earrings, $5 via a stoop sale, and Rupert Sanderson flats.

From the Design Africa panel discussion at Soho House New York—where I caught up with Ali Hewson, Nicole Mackinglay Hahn, Julie Gilhart, and Abigail Doan—to the #Makeshift2012 pop up shop at Billy Reid, it was a whirlwind night filled with mirrored elevator rides, dressing up with Tucker NY’s Gaby Basora and Alabama Chanin’s Natalie Chanin, and most notably being with women who inspire me.

I’m wearing a vintage BANU Paris dress, a pair of earrings I found at a Park Slope flea market (ask for Elba on Saturdays), and Alabama Chanin’s “Alabama Fur” coat ($8,860, Alabama Chanin) that I just had to try on.

Over the weekend, my friend Liam Alexander—don’t miss his “Something Old, Something New” style, here—showed his award-winning interactive sculpture, @TWTRPALLA, at Fluent City in Brooklyn, New York while it simultaneously appeared via live steam in Venice, Italy.

I stopped by to see firsthand how twitter can move art—and for the free.99 Delicatessen brunch, too.

TWEET @TWTRPALLA and the sculpture, an industrial spin on the New Year’s Eve Times Square Ball, will move—until June that is.

It’s on view at Fluent City, 143 Skillman Ave in Brooklyn, NY 11211 through the end of the month.

P.S. Here’s what I wore: Diesel jeans, a no name vintage/secondhand striped t-shirt, a white wool L.L. Bean sweater (not pictured), Rupert Sanderson flats, and Ray Ban sunglasses.

The best accessory of all: my patriotic, American flag iPhone case. Liam’s mom took a cute pic of it, here, on @PastFashionFuture Instagram.

If you follow my twitter—or Facebook—it’s not news what I wore to judge the 6th annual Independent Handbag Designer Awards; I had to utilize some major style editing skills to help narrow down more than 1,000+ handbags, from the crazy to the strange submissions, and everything in between. Plus, I got to exercise my on camera skills with a live video, shot by Dan over at Useful Media.

Sure, I got to utilize some major style editing skills to narrow down more than 1,000 handbags, but what really made the event memorable was the amazing group of style experts, editors, writers, and “social media wizards” as Emily Blumenthal would say, who came out to jury the competition: the every lovely Amy DuFault of EcoSalon, the chicest man in the room and star of our very own “Something Old, Something New,” Mr. Colin T. McDonald, a new friend lifestyle correspondent Pamela Pekerman, the talented Budget Fashionista Kathryn Finney, and Lois Sakany & Samia Grand Pierre, Micah Jesse, Dawn Del Russo, Sara Zucker, Ysolt Usigan, Amina Akhtar, Sarah Reynolds, and Georgia Bobley.

Thanks to Red Branch PR who made everything run smooth like butter and the Hyatt 48 Lex for putting us up in a chic location and last, and last but—mos def—not least, thanks to Emily for her passion and drive, and for championing independent designers and giving them a platform to launch their careers with this annual awards, her book, a and FIT workshop.

And finally, here are the deets on my outfit:

I’m wearing silk trousers by Ralph Lauren that I found at Beacon’s Closet, a second-hand shop in Park Slope, Brooklyn; a vintage green jacket from my college years that I found at Recycle North, a vintage shop in Burlington, VT; a black cashmere tank top that I borrowed from a friend, which I still need to return…; black “suede” platform pumps from Payless ($25—for realz); and “new” costume jewelry from a flea market in Brooklyn, statement earrings and a green and diamond pin, both for $10!

Wednesday night, I braved the bizarre weather in NYC and trekked to Riverpark Farm at the Alexandria Center all in the name of sunglasses.

I’m wearing the “Darby” sunnies from the line and I can’t wait ‘till they come out—though, full disclosure, they’re gifting me with a pair when they do. Until then, keep tuned for my review.

I’m wearing the “Darby” sunnies from the line and I can’t wait ‘till they come out—though, full disclosure, they’re gifting me with a pair when they do. Until then, keep tuned for my review.

I’m also donning Amour Vert’s Carmel Riviera peace silk dress, Naya’s Wind Sandals, and a Coach bag.

This weekend, I spent a few days with family in Cape May, NJ, here’s a look at my laid-back summer style. For a casual dinner night out I wore a bright silk vintage skirt that I’ve had for years—it also can be worn as a top. I paired it with a white tank top, a somewhat-visible black lace bra, gold ballet flats, an orange pashmina, and a Coach bag. Since it’s summer, I have little patience with makeup so I kept it pretty natural with minimal cosmetics and towel-dried hair.

The 6th annual Independent Handbag Designer Awards ceremony took place Wednesday night at the Time & Life building in New York City this week. Even though I was a judge—and viewed more than 1,000 handbag entries from around the world in the judging process—I had no idea who was going to win come awards night. Find out which independent designers across seven categories won over at InStyle.com, including my faves, the classic and timeless handbag by J.Lane and Ita Collection’s bright clutch. I was bummed Jess Ruzzuti didn’t take home the price for her innovative cork creation, which hardly looks like cork by the way. To walk the red carpet, I wore a dress from one of my favorite designers CrOp by David Peck’s spring 2012 collection, which I coincidentally got an exclusive first look at back during fashion week last year for Discovery’s TreeHugger.com. Read it, here: Quirky Prints, Timeless Silhouettes in Crop by David Peck Spring 2012 I paired David Peck’s gorgeous white silk dress with yellow silk Prada pumps that have a gold heel; a seashell-inspired vintage clutch that I scored from Elba at the Seventh Avenue flea market in Park Slope, Brooklyn; a huge Marc Jacobs bobble ring, and colorful vintage clip-on earrings, a gift from my younger sister.

The judging is finished, now it’s on to the fun part: the 6th Annual Independent Handbag Designer Awards are tomorrow—read all the good and great deets, here—and I have finally chosen a CrOp by David Peck dress to wear to the awards ceremony (thanks to all my Instagram followers for helping me decide).

Here’s a look back at the top dresses from David’s spring and fall 2012 collections! Curious to know which one I picked—and how I styled it? Keep tuned for plenty of pics and live updates tomorrow night on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram, where I’ll be sharing all the fun!

Big thanks to CrOp by David Peck and Autumn PR.

Friday, I checked out my friend Liam Alexander’s Photobooth Project party at Wix Lounge in New York City before heading to another friend’s birthday party. I had fun posing for a ton of pics with my friend Charlotte. Here’s an old-fashioned look at what I wore: a black vintage-inspired What Goes Around Comes Around dress, a hand-me-down from my cousin Monica. I paired it with a tan vintage Fendi purse, tan platform pumps, and no jewelry (except my Dennis bracelet that doesn’t come off…so it doesn’t count).

The Canadian Tuxedo is a trend that just keeps giving—note: I’m not actually wearing a denim on denim ensemble but rather jeans and a light blue cotton tank top; the effect, however, is still the same.I stole away from New York this past weekend for some much needed R&R at my cousin Monica Rodger’s oasis in Rhode Island. I visited my long-time beau, Jay Gatsby, in Newport, did my usual thrift store shopping, and spent oodles and oodles of time catching up with my dear cousin, the woman empowering women with The Revelation Project. For my last day in the Ocean State, we strolled around town and took “a drive” on Ocean Drive en route to the train station. Dressed in my DIY Daisy Dukes—appropriate attire for Doris Dukes’ estate, no?—and a Short(s) Version of The Canadian Tuxedo, I took in coastal views and jammed to tunes by Bruno Mars, obviously. The jeans are vintage Bill Blass that I found at a thrift store, aka Goodwill, in Pennsylvania for about $5. I chopped off the legs, gave them a wash and a roll and that’s it: DIY Daisy’s in a nutshell. View more: EMMA’S STYLE “Emma’s Style” is made possible in part by CrOp by David Peck.

Notably missing was cell phone service, hence the delay in my uploading PastFashionFuture Instagram snaps.

Over the weekend, my friend Liam Alexander—don’t miss his “Something Old, Something New” style, here—showed his award-winning interactive sculpture, @TWTRPALLA, at Fluent City in Brooklyn, New York while it simultaneously appeared via live steam in Venice, Italy. I stopped by to see firsthand how twitter can move art—and for the free.99 Delicatessen brunch, too. TWEET @TWTRPALLA and the sculpture, an industrial spin on the New Year’s Eve Times Square Ball, will move—until June that is. It’s on view at Fluent City, 143 Skillman Ave in Brooklyn, NY 11211 through the end of the month.P.S. Here’s what I wore: Diesel jeans, a no name vintage/secondhand striped t-shirt, a white wool L.L.

If you follow my twitter—or Facebook—it’s not news what I wore to judge the 6th annual Independent Handbag Designer Awards; I had to utilize some major style editing skills to help narrow down more than 1,000+ handbags, from the crazy to the strange submissions, and everything in between. Plus, I got to exercise my on camera skills with a live video, shot by Dan over at Useful Media. Sure, I got to utilize some major style editing skills to narrow down more than 1,000 handbags, but what really made the event memorable was the amazing group of style experts, editors, writers, and “social media wizards” as Emily Blumenthal would say, who came out to jury the competition: the every lovely Amy DuFault of EcoSalon, the chicest man in the room and star of our very own “Something Old, Something New,” Mr. Colin T. McDonald, a new friend lifestyle correspondent Pamela Pekerman, the talented Budget Fashionista Kathryn Finney, and Lois Sakany & Samia Grand Pierre, Micah Jesse, Dawn Del Russo, Sara Zucker, Ysolt Usigan, Amina Akhtar, Sarah Reynolds, and Georgia Bobley. Thanks to Red Branch PR who made everything run smooth like butter and the Hyatt 48 Lex for putting us up in a chic location and last, and last but—mos def—not least, thanks to Emily for her passion and drive, and for championing independent designers and giving them a platform to launch their careers with this annual awards, her book, a and FIT workshop. And finally, here are the deets on my outfit: I’m wearing silk trousers by Ralph Lauren that I found at Beacon’s Closet, a second-hand shop in Park Slope, Brooklyn; a vintage green jacket from my college years that I found at Recycle North, a vintage shop in Burlington, VT; a black cashmere tank top that I borrowed from a friend, which I still need to return…; black “suede” platform pumps from Payless ($25—for realz); and “new” costume jewelry from a flea market in Brooklyn, statement earrings and a green and diamond pin, both for $10!

McDonald, a new friend lifestyle correspondent Pamela Pekerman, the talented Budget Fashionista Kathryn Finney, and Lois Sakany & Samia Grand Pierre, Micah Jesse, Dawn Del Russo, Sara Zucker, Ysolt Usigan, Amina Akhtar, Sarah Reynolds, and Georgia Bobley.

Thanks to Red Branch PR who made everything run smooth like butter and the Hyatt 48 Lex for putting us up in a chic location and last, and last but—mos def—not least, thanks to Emily for her passion and drive, and for championing independent designers and giving them a platform to launch their careers with this annual awards, her book, a and FIT workshop.

And finally, here are the deets on my outfit:

I’m wearing silk trousers by Ralph Lauren that I found at Beacon’s Closet, a second-hand shop in Park Slope, Brooklyn; a vintage green jacket from my college years that I found at Recycle North, a vintage shop in Burlington, VT; a black cashmere tank top that I borrowed from a friend, which I still need to return…; black “suede” platform pumps from Payless ($25—for realz); and “new” costume jewelry from a flea market in Brooklyn, statement earrings and a green and diamond pin, both for $10!
