Find of the Week | 24

Looking ahead to the New Year, I have already made two fashion resolutions--add texture and add color.


I've noticed that there is an unhealthy amount of black and grey in my closet. There are a lot of pros to this way of dressing, mostly because the look is so versatile to dress up or dress down. The major con to wearing all black is that it's not the most youthful look for a 22 year old...

Knitted winter accessories are good for adding texture. I love this hat and mittens set from H&M.


I also bought a red sheath dress from H&M, but couldn't find a photo. Instead, here's a shot from Ashley Madekwe's blog, Ring My Bell, on how she styles her red dress.

This blue dress from Forever 21 adds both color and texture to my wardrobe--it reminds me of something the Duchess of Cambridge might wear...

Newport/Narragansett: The Tents and David's Tea

I was excited to find The Tents: The New York Fashion Documentary on HuluPlus when I got home after work. The film interviews designers and other industry professionals responsible for putting New York Fashion Week on at Bryant Park since the 1993. In 2010, after eighteen years on Seventh Avenue, Fashion Week moved to the Lincoln Center for Performing Arts.

The film does a great job at giving a behind-the-scenes look at the runway--the models, the hairstylists, the press, and everyone else in between. It was funny to hear that some fashion editors and journalists "crashed" fashion shows.



Before bed, I decided to open a DAVIDsTEA gift set I got for Christmas from my eldest brother, Dylan. It included a mug, tea strainer, lid, and three loose-leaf teas. I tried the Coco Chai Rooibos--caffeine-free so I can still sleep tonight--and loved it.  DAVIDsTEA has a lot of different teas on their website, so I hope to order more varieties after I finish up the flavors I have.





And speaking of sipping a spot of tea...

Happy Birthday, Kate! May you stay beautiful and elegant always, cheers!
