While back in New York I had a chance to collaborate with the incredible photographer Jamie Mann on a few street style photos. I absolutely love his work and was super excited and even a little nervous for this shoot. Jamie utilizes the lighting, the perspective, the time of the day, the location and the outfit itself so skillfully that you don't even notice how much hard work and experience goes into what seems like an effortless snap of the camera. He is a true professional and a breeze to work with. The results speak for themselves!

You might have already recognized my favorite Edward Roth jacket (yes, I wore the same jacket in two different colors, pink one here). Love how the boots and the jacket match in color and designer  accessories complete this luxury look - true elegance with a futuristic note.

September is almost over. I honestly believe there is some secret force that makes the months go by so fast that you feel like you fell asleep at the beginning and woke up at the end of the month but you only slept a few hours.. Looking back at September, which is always the busiest month, I feel very happy and grateful for my experiences, the highlight of which was definitely New York Fashion Week. Not only I enjoy the fashion week itself, but going to New York is already exciting enough :)

I always have these mixed feelings towards New York - I love and hate it at the same time. It makes me angry, happy, encouraged and disappointed - kind of an emotional roller coaster. But the only feeling the stays the same is the warm feeling that I get when I arrive at my "home away from home" - The Empire Hotel. Last year I gave you a sneak peak of my hotel room, and this year I am taking you to the rooftop where I snapped a few shots right before it started raining on my last day in NYC. That day was full of meetings so I went for a cool black and white look with my favorite wedge converse that I can't get enough of.

When I was buying these boots back in January, I already imagined myself wearing them to fashion week :) But when the time came I got a little stuck. It's easy to wear them with a one tone dress, but how could I make my look original without looking like a clown? :) It took a little bit of planning and thinking but finally I came up with this denim and white combination and obviously had to add some extravagant eye-catching accessories like Versace jeweled cat-eye sunglasses and Ted Baker Moti Clutch with mohican detail, which I have been lusting over for about a year! By the way, notice how I buttoned up my denim shirt and lifted up the collars for an extra touch of chic. I still have a bunch of looks to share with you guys, so stay tuned for more NYC fashion ;)

I think leather and lace is such an easy way to create a stylish and interesting look. On a side, these bright neon shoes are quite handy in so many outfits. I would have never thought!

This was one of my looks I wore at New York Fashion Week - not my typical style, but I enjoy a challenge once in a while ;) While street style photographers found it interesting, it also caught attention of some people when I was walking on the streets on New York after the shows. Even though it's inspired by male fashion, I still find it feminine and classy.

On my last day in New York the weather suddenly changed and it started raining. Rain is one of the things I miss when in LA and hate when in any other city =) And yes, this is what happens to my hair when it's raining - another reason not to like it.

For the second day I chose neon and stripes - a simple three-color game which helps you stand out from the crowd. Obsessed with this Kate Spade clutch, that looks like a real newspaper.

New York has been crazy so far. Lots of events and shows, very little sleep, lots of heels and most importantly lots of photographs taken =) I am excited and happy to attend New York Fashion Week for the first time. I will take you on an exciting journey of my days here and will highlight the most memorable moments. So here is Day 1, which was probably the busiest full of amazing events and incredible memories.

The first look of the day was total Zara (yes, it always saves us when we don't know what to wear =)) with a beautiful envelope clutch from Givenchy.
