I’m gonna’ go ahead and be the first to point out that I bear a stark resemblance to the white sheet behind me—it’s okay, you can call me “Casper”—but, nevertheless, I was stoked to have the opportunity to wear this woven suede Zac Posen dress to Suzanne Rae’s fashion show at New York Fashion Week.

Zac Posen has been one of my favorite designers for a long time. His dresses are way above my budget, so I was excited—more like ecstatic—to find this dress in mint condition at a Housing Works thrift store for $40. Seriously.

I’m wearing this Zac Posen dress with a vintage fur hat, thrifted brown leather boots, and a timeless—no pun intended—gold watch found at a flea market.

My Anne Boleyn Halloweeen Costume: I had the opportunity to wear an amazing—if I do say so myself—Isaac Mizrahi dress that I found at Housing Works for $10. Seriously. I built my costume—view more pics on @PastFashionFuture’s Instagram—around the dress and thought it would suit Anne Boleyn or Marie Antoinette. I didn’t want to deal with the whole mound of hair thing so I opted for the ill-fated wife of ol’ Henry VIII, Anne Boleyn.

I found a porcelain “B” at a craft shop, painted it with gold nail polish, and attached it to a vintage necklace with an earring. The crown necklace was necessary to get the point across and it’s now decorating a shelf in my room, my justification for purchasing a cheap, plastic crown. I’d prefer gold (let’s be honest), but I lack the lineage—to my knowledge, at least.

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.

Thursday night, I joined fellow beauty writers and editors for an intimate cocktail party and dinner hosted by Weleda at Blue Hill at Stone Barns in Tarrytown, New York. I’ve given their biodynamic and organic skincare line positive reviews, including them as a nominee for Hearst’s Heart of Green Awards and also their most recent pro-aging line for women over forty on Discovery, so I was delighted to help celebrate their 90th anniversary.

The car ride out there was a total trip down memory lane:

It reminded me of the time when I was growing up my family would drive from Maine to visit my mom’s family in Pennsylvania. The biggest highlight of the drive for me was the Tappan Zee Bridge because of the view of the castle, which I now know is named the Castle on the Hudson, and New York City. It’s fun to look back on memories like those, especially since I live in New York now.

Now on to my outfit:

I found the belt at Housing Works for $7 and bought it mainly because John Patrick Organic’s Fall 2011 collection was styled with the same type of Indian beaded leather belt. Plus, it’s just one of those accessories that never goes out style.

I paired it with my must-have spring 2011 accessories: Ray Ban sunglasses, vintage gold watch, and my grandmother’s beaded white clutch from Neiman Marcus back in the day. The dress, Club Monaco; the shoes, Zara; the jacket.
