My good friend Peter, a design assistant at Robert Geller, invited Bobby and me to the show. Despite my navy/black ensemble, I do believe I was wearing more color than 99% of the attendees. It isn't my fault; I have furry little animals who shed like crazy. Black is a difficult color to wear because of this. My darker outfit suited the dreary New York weather and my elevated ModCloth heels kept my feet dry. Bobby and I sat in the car until show time, keeping our rain exposure to a minimum. I saved my puddle jumping for a less hectic day!
I'm always a fan of Robert Geller's collections; it's effortlessly cool and makes me think of sexy vampires (maybe it's the models he uses). Like sexy vampires who were turned in the early 20th century and still mix in some of their old, classic garments with their modern wardrobe. Peter will probably throw up at that reference. This collection was different: he stayed true to his aesthetic but infused some gorgeous shocks of color, and everything was so lightweight and airy, less militaristic and more spring-time leisure. I wanted to touch everything...because I'm a creep. If you'd like to see full coverage of the show, click here.
My Outfit Details:
Coach sunglasses - gift from Coach
Nine West purse - gift from my mom
Ruffled cardigan - Beacon's Closet
DB blazer - thrifted (I've had this for years and it's still a favorite)
Scalloped edge beaded/sequin skirt - thrifted and altered. It was a long, dowdy dress and I painstakingly transformed it into a two tiered skirt.
Sheer stockings - Target
Shoes - ModCloth

By the way - I need your help:
Me and a friend are going to visit New York again next week. Needless to say, we're really looking foward to go vintage/thrift shopping.
But we need your pleasent help and advice where to go to find bargains.... We do know Beacon's Closet near Bedford Ave in Brooklyn (and I looooove it) but there have to be more than 100s of amazing vintage/thrift/charity shops in NY. Also,I remember a nice fleamarket in Greenpoint at the weekends (near Bedford Station). Do you know it?! Is it still there?! Are there any other fleamarkets between the 29th of September and the 4th of October?! Maybe - you like to help us by writing down your favourite vintage shopping places in NY... at

I love your mix of black and navy; also that umbrella is awesome...
wardrobe experience:
Check out the Brooklyn Flea! Go to Brownstoner.com/brooklynflea
It's every Saturday in Fort Greene and Sundays under the Brooklyn Bridge (both in Brooklyn). Really great flea market!
Hi Keiko, I loved your umbrella so much that I bought one for myself when I was in London last month. Now if only it would rain already :)

the painstaking effort on the skirt was so well worth it - it is glorious!
the skirt is absolutely, stunning...in a word, in a thought... all of the above.
Like what everyone else said, that skirt is RED CARPET!! Love how you've layered that fluffy cardigan under the blazer. Frills meets structured sleek. Very nice.
That skirt is amazingly beautiful!!
Good for you for transforming it yourself too. Lovely outfit.
Florrie x
I adore this outfit!
