You say it’s your birthday…

Mar

2013

Excuse the self indulgence but today is my birthday so I decided to post a picture of myself –more personal style, than street style but then I renamed this section NYC style so it should fit! And for the record my top/dress is by 5preview, boots are my Jeffrey Campbell for Nasty Gal and bag (below) is Stella McCartney.

It’s been about 4 years since I started StyleDefined NYC and since that beginning it has led to some amazing opportunities: from working with brands like Sebastian and Sony to being flown to Madrid for a party by J&B Whisky to total immersion in the insanity that is New York Fashion Week. Never did I imagine all the adventures I’d have because of it.

But what I appreciate even more are all the amazing people I’ve met. I moved back to NYC 4 years ago knowing a handful of people –literally– and now can go out any night and be guaranteed to run into friendly familiar faces. I don’t take this for granted and want to give a shout out to a few people who not only have enriched my life but have added to the richness of SDNYC. First and foremost: Niko Liakaris who I met when he mistook me for another photographer and is now a bestie. -and a writer for SDNYC! Sophia Lamar who used to intimidate the shit out of me but whom I adore and consider my personal style icon. And the duos of: Emily and Abigail aka the Wanderlust Girls and Richie Moo & Adrian who are always game to be part of any crazy project that comes to mind and I can rely on for great looks to photograph.

I know this post is a little long but fuck it: it’s my birthday and I wanted to express my gratitude to those who have helped make having this site so much fun. Lastly then I’d like to thank my Official Girlfriend, Karen, who has been a source of sanity behind the scene along with our brilliant pup Nasdaq. (Yes, as in the stock market!)

Everything’s comin’ up roses

Nov

2012

The other night when I was out with Niko I admired his new Moschino coat with the rose print lapel.

But it’s the inside that takes it over the top. It’s like they took an english Grandmother’s wallpaper and used it for lining. It’s these fanciful details that make me a fan of Moschino. Super fun!

Mar

2012

You know you love to party. But you want to keep your New York figure and Adderall just makes you too edgy…so Luc Carl has the answer for you in his new book, the perfectly un-PC “the Drunk Diet” Catch him at Barnes and Noble a week from Wednesday or hit up the release party afterwards. It’s going to be MAJOR. And if you buy the book and bring it you can get free admission. Hope to see you there! xx

Don’t tread on Niko

Jan

2012

If you go out at night downtown in NYC chances are you know Niko. A dear friend of mine, he is always sharply dressed. (It probably doesn’t hurt he has the inside track at Moschino!) I once showed up at one of his events in a (god forbid) knee length down jacket that would not exactly be considered the height of fashion outside of Minnesota. I made one of those off-the-cuff comments like “I can’t believe I’m wearing this but it’s sooo cold out.” To which Niko replied, “You know how to avoid these kind of situations? Never buy anything that you wouldn’t want to be seen in!” Admittedly, a bit harsh, but something I’ve completely taken to heart. And it’s clear that he follows his own advice!

Detail shot of his Moschino vest and tie. I’ll admit I wasn’t always as familiar with this label as I am with American labels but not only is Moschino great design, there is a sly sense of humor always at work and apparent here as well!
