Happy 13th (!!!!) birthday to #panthepup! We celeb Happy 13th (!!!!) birthday to #panthepup! We celebrated with a long walk that started with a rare 🍟 treat (swipe to see the chomp!) and then let her decide the route on a long walk through the park 🐕 She is the absolute best girl.
My final #NYFW look is a dress I’ve been waiting My final #NYFW look is a dress I’ve been waiting for a chance to wear ever since I got it at the @samanthapleet pop up this summer! I can’t get over how cool the embroidered, carefully placed leaf details are, and I felt amazing in it. The organic, natural vibe of the dress also felt like just the thing for the @carolinezimbalist presentation. Zimbalist is an artist, through and through, and this collection really showcased that, from the sculptural bio-material pieces to the unique prints to the figure drawing theme throughout the show. More to come from the show, but swipe for a few of my favorite looks and a bit more of my outfit details at the end, including this super cute @dior vanity case from @designerrevival (accessorized with my @prettyconnectedshop @kesha chain, as always!) 

Outfit photos by @closetvomit - thanks for sharing this perfect photo spot 🥰

Best venue of Spring Summer 26 HAS to go to @cynth Best venue of Spring Summer 26 HAS to go to @cynthiarowley’s beautiful runway with the sun setting over the Hudson in the background, with Cynthia Rowley branded sailboats and Lady Liberty herself looking on. The location worked beautifully with the nautical theme of the collection, but it also felt like a little love letter to NYC for her 101st show. Congrats to the @cynthiarowley team @verynewyork and everyone involved for a fantastic show! #NYFW #cynthiarowley
NYFW day 3700 😁 For another day of running arou NYFW day 3700 😁 For another day of running around the city for shows and presentations, I wore this fun faux suede set that I got a ton of compliments on - and it’s from @lanebryant! The bottom is a secret skort too, so I had the look of a mini without the worry of accidentally flashing anyone lol. I paired it with my spaghetti print top from @tamara.malas and gorgeous suede boots from @dolcevita - all linked on LTK (same handle as here!) This snake print @jimmychoo bag from @designerrevival was the perfect finishing touch. Swipe for a mini recap of my day, from denim and volume at @aknvas to a gorgeous atmospheric presentation by @johnathan.hayden (who I learned offers sizes up to 3x!) to chic, sculptural vibes at @katehundley (I need that leather jacket in #plussizeplease!) And did you really visit WSA if you didn’t take a mirror selfie on the way out? P.S. Shoutout to @artioncafe in Tribeca for THE tastiest lemonade I’ve had all year (sour cherry!) - it gave me the strength to make it through the back half of the day when I started flagging 🙌🏻

The @melkenyc SS26 presentation Gone Fishing was a The @melkenyc SS26 presentation Gone Fishing was a peaceful reverie in the midst of #NYFW chaos, with ambient lake sounds, quiet conversations, and even a delightfully woodsy scent piped through the space. Designer @emma_gage21 launched Melke five years ago with their signature fish sweaters, and this collection was both a look back and evidence of how much the brand had grown up, all while retaining the quirk and whimsy we love (and the New York Post hates - always a sign you are doing something right IMO!) 

With truly original prints, items ranging from editorial to fully wearable, pieces ethically made in Brooklyn, and standard sizes up to XXL and more made to order, Melke remains one of my all time favorites - and I NEED that tackle print maxi dress 😍

I absolutely loved the @reneecafaroatelier SS26 sh I absolutely loved the @reneecafaroatelier SS26 show “Out of Scale.” It makes me so happy seeing more editorial and avant-garde looks in plus, and the show notes from designer @reneecafaro included this section that resonates with me deeply: “This collection is at the crossroads of whimsy and anger, vacillating between the joyful dopamine dressing I needed to see and the defiance we all must embody. As our rights and safe spaces of expression and diversity are under attack, I have chosen to lean into being bolder and more inclusive than ever before.” 

With a truly diverse cast and very cool designs (I NEED to see @lirisc’s closing look on a red carpet!) it was one of Renee’s best yet. Congrats to the entire @reneecafaroatelier @rcapubliclabel team for an incredible show!
