Dressing A.M. to P.M. During Music Festival Season

|..."Wether the Weather Be Cold, Wether the Weather Be Hot"|

The Austin Diary 2.

Picking a look that would carry my through the early mornings to, well, the early mornings of the next day, proved to be one of the hardest things to do on my trip to SXSW16. I left our apartment around 10 am to shoot around Austin, then would head to The Fader Fort Presented by Converse for the rest of the day, then off to dinners, then after hours events! Austin was not as warm as I had thought it would be, or as the weather had told me it would be before leaving NYC. The nights ended up being about 45, and mid day it was 75, so you needed a few layers to get you through the full spectrum of temperatures.

I shot this look outside of the famous Franklin BBQ. After meeting a lot of local Texans, this was a huge subject for debate wether this was the best BBQ in Austin, but the likes of President Obama, Kayne West, and countless other celebs, have made this their go to BBQ spot. One thing you can count on is a 3 hour wait in line, any given day of the week. 

Peace & Love, Claire

Here is the second of 7 Look-Books tracking my New York Fashion Week A/W 16-17 show style! 

I collaborated again this season with my favorite kicks brand, Converse, and trusted the ChuckII to keep my feet comfy and stylish running from show to show! 

Everyone has been asking who makes this amazing raincoat! The designer is a Japanese brand called, MUVIEL! I honestly could not think up a raincoat that I would love more! Anything clear and embellished has my name on it, and gives you the opportunity to wear it in so many ways with different pieces underneath!  I decided to dress it down with a pair of high-waisted RE/Done jeans, my all time favorite Converse ChuckII’s, and a Topshop Boutique orange cropped sweater, for the Coach show yesterday! (Follow me on IG @LatelyIveBeenMe to see more of my Fashion Week fun!)

Stay Tuned for Look-Book 3 set to go live in the am! 

Peace & Love, Claire

|... Brisk Weather In My Camel Coat|

I'm not sure I could actually ask for more in a long camel coat! A lot of clothing these days had been over complicated, and it feels so nice to go back to the classic basics with a simple staple like this Topshop coat. Fashion Week SS16 finally caught up with me physically! I'm fighting a cold here in London, but so so happy to be heading to Paris in a few days to vintage shop and meet clients! xxxC

Wow; what a month so far!

I made it to the U.K. last night this time staying in Brixton. For those of you who have followed the blog for a while, you would know that my first trip to the UK a few summers ago, was not the easiest. I myself was deciding if my values as a person matched with that of the modeling world, and all signs at that point were pointing to no. Just that internal conflict + constantly being lost in the tube (Tube Mapper the app; get it) made for a trying visit! But I’m back in this beautiful city, with friends and clients, here to explore in a whole new way!  With my trusty Converse ChuckII’s on my feet, I’m going to be exploring this city and Paris for a few weeks. I can’t wait to fall in love with the secrets of these 2 cities, and come back to my beloved NYC with stories to tell! XXXC
