|... 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

Brixton Blues

|Leather & Lace|

It's overcast and I'm feeling nostalgic today in London. I spent the night, and part of the am, dancing to dancehall at a house party in Brixton. Culturally this place is so so inspiring.  London has so many types of people, food, secrets; It's perfect. 

I love these Saint Laurent Leather Leggings for weather like this. During the day it's been about 60 degrees, and at night it goes down to 45-50 degrees, so layering is key!  Leather and something sweet is always a romantic combo. This Topshop light blue lace top worked perfectly for the changing weather. I'm currently heading to Angel, for dinner at a small French restaurant with a British friend I met in NYC a year ago. I love how traveling inspires you to connect with all types of people or friends of friends. 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

Love Is In the Air at Spring Haute Couture <3

Chanel Spring 2014 Couture Collection

As the snow falls here on the streets of New York City, so too do the spring 2014 couture collections in Paris. Most notably for me this a.m. was waking up to images of Chanel. The pastel creations paired with sneakers, (tying back to my “Sneaking Away From Heels in 2014,”) were more than inspired. The collection was wearable, romantic, and dreamy, just enough to make one forget the snowfall. Xxx

Check out the full collection here on Style.com

Channeling Chanel Beauty

I’m really in love with the Chanel Couture beauty looks for Spring. It was refreshing to see the cat-eye, a makeup trend thats been around forever, (and put on the maps most memorably by Bridget Bardot,) get a much needed update paired with the bottom- lid glitter liner! Try it on your own with this pick from Sephora!

Spring Pastel Perfection

In the sprit of the spring shows, here are some easy pastel looks from T by Alexander Wang available on shopbop.com, to update your wardrobe for the coming months. I love the idea of light pastels, paired with your favorite leather and biker boots or sneaks. It's instantly "model off duty," relaxed and effortlessly chic.
