My Picks - The Row Pre-Fall 15 RTW

Happy New Year everyone, I hope you all had a wonderful time over the festive season. Well this kicks my new year off to a cracking start! The Row's pre fall collection. Full of austere yet elegant garments with more emphasis on colour. The paprika tone sat back with lilac is a particularly striking combination. I am currently in India on my first business trip of 2015, it is somewhat colder compared with previous years. The sheared fur shawl is just what I need draped over my shoulders.

The Apartment by The line

Introducing The Apartment by The Line, how charming does this space look? I would live here in a heartbeat given the chance. The Line's vision encompasses the notion of refined, versatile and honest goods sourced from the City of New York. 

The Apartment acts as a bare canvas to display these finds.

Overview Street Style Fall 14

This seasons shows have flown by as we near the end in Pari Pari. I am still in the process of reviewing them and will get back to you shortly. In the meantime I have gathered some of my favourite street style looks. Garments worn with ease, as layering tools creating varied proportions and silhouettes. Why over complicate when you have this sense of natural style?

Fashion Insiders' Guide

After a great weekend in Paris I can highly recommend the book above to be a helpful guide to all things cool and quirky. Written by Carole Sabas, Vogue Paris's NY correspondent.

These books have everything you need to know if travelling with work or socially. It is written from a professional perspective and is a great insight into the life of such a highly regarded correspondent such as Sabas.

The books are beautifully illustrated, Paris by Caroline Andrieu and NY by Bernadette Pascua, with covers featuring original prints by designer Calla Haynes.

NEW YORK

I've just returned from a work trip in NY. This is the view from the hotel, I stayed at the Dream, Downtown. Such a perfect location, with the Meat Packing district right on our doorstep.

Loved the Proenza store on Madison Ave, I'm sure the window display was influenced by Damien Hirst. The collection was so well considered, right down to the last button.

I had a great Saturday afternoon spent in Williamsburg, basking in the sun. There was a real buzz. We ate at 'Walters Food', which serves delectable food, washed down with a pomegranate lemonade. I'd also been recommended to visit the boutique, 'Bird' which had such a nice selection of mens and womens wear, as well as accessories. 

I treated us to this A.P.C candle for our new apartment. the scent is very humble. 

Within and surrounding our hotel were bars and clubs. We had a cocktail or two!

NYC

I've just returned from a few days away in NYC. Above is the view from the apartment.
I can't quite describe the humidity in the City, I didn't pack appropriately at all.

Had a great few days catching up with friends and rediscovering the City.
I was treated to some lovely meals at the The Spotted Pig and Spice Market, both of which I would highly recommend. 

I had poached eggs most mornings, they are garnished so differently in NY. Below I had them on a bed of vine leaves and red onion drizzled with garlic infused oil, topped with paprika and pancetta. YUM!

NYC this is not goodbye, perhaps just the start...
