Lately I have been really into topknots, buns, chignons (a la @OscarPRGirl below) and have been looking around for relevant instructions. The easiest way I’ve found is to either use a hair piece or place a clip around your pony tail and wrap the hair around that to make it fatter. I still haven’t grasped the whole teasing concept.


I’ve found two helpful instructions for you (and me). From Emily of Cupcakes and Cashmere here and below from NWA’s own Anna of TulipLouise and StyleBy.Me.
I’m hoping to add my own eventually!


Stylecaster just published an article on the 50 most stylish New-Yorkers. I really enjoyed the interviews and photos of this piece. I also liked hearing about favorite NYC musicians, places to shop and eat. Check it out here.

After a long week, I feel like I earned a three day weekend. I’m pretty sure I always feel like that. We have a big fundraiser this weekend – a chili cook-off that has grown from a few friends in the backyard to a full-fledged charity function. I’m very excited about it but it’s going to be a ton of activities packed into three days! We are making some decisions on the rehearsal dinner as well…
I hope you have a lovely weekend, no matter your plans. Savor every drop.
As most of you know, it is Fall 11 Fashion Week in NYC. Every fashion week, the fashion-elite come out in droves to see the shows. They have become an attraction themselves for street-style photographers. Everyone wants to see what the tastemakers are wearing.. I am definitely spotting certain trends including fur, pops of bold colors, leather, animal print, top-knots and of course…black. Here are my favorites of the week via The Cut and StreetFSN.
