Basic Black is Back

Aint' it the truth that the most basic items seem the most impossible to find. Seriously... I've spent endless hours online looking for the perfect neutral black shoes to wear to work that are cute and comfortable. Yes, a combination of the two is necessary so you don't look like you threw on your grandma's loafers. Sorry, there is no excuse for bad shoes if you're working in NYC.

1. $89.90
I am a huge lover of boots, even in the summer (contrary to my mother's pleads...)These are from Zara, and uber comfy!! 
2. $74.57
Sometimes you need a little more color, and ASOS offers an easy floral look.
3. $49.90
Another steal from Zara... I even have them myself! And, snakeskin is in!
4. $97.99
Okay, if you're really hurting and desperate for comfort... these are literally the perfect shoe for you. Birkenstock offers extremely wearable shoes, and the gladiator pattern is nice enough of work.
5. $99.00
Sam Edelman offers a look-alike Phillip Lim for under $100 with a  little heel that will make you feel good, as well as look good.
6. $124
And in case you're feeling wild, black sling backs from Top Shop.

After what must be accounted for as the longest ten days of my life, I have successfully completed my internship at VPL and took part in the fall 2012 RTW fashion show. A long, exhausting ten days of hard work and determination and in 14 minutes of runway time suddenly things were very real and very well worth it. Behind all the glamour of twitter/facebook/instagram one can miss all the work that goes into the planning and production of a show. The truth? It's not all glam. Each designer puts their heart and soul into their clothes and those runway shows are them, very exposed, and very vulnerable. Overall: Amazing. And now, I am left to dream of owning every piece from the VPL collection.

Getting ready for a styling sess.

 Gettttttinggg readyyyy...

Its been one week...

...since you looked at me? But no, really, it's been one week since I've felt like a human after the re-adjustment period began for working around the clock. Surviving on little sleep, good fun with friends, new cozy vest and holiday cheer  starting tomorrow at 4PM. Goodnight!!!!! (pretending that huge icecream sandwhich I just ate has nothing to do with my mood but hello I'm still savoring every bite)
