Undoubtedly one of the hottest weeks of the year and we’ve been back at work playing with way cool fall clothes.
Black leather biker cape? Total score, and borrowed for our super quick shoot from Worth New York.
Black tank and black pants are mine, also Worth New York. Put them on, take them off, go to bed, wake up, and put them on again, every single day this week, no kidding.
Never really sure where we’re going to be, city, country, home, office; simply trying to keep it all going with summer happening all over. Endless kids, friends, dogs…
Cooking and feeding, and zipping up long dresses to get out the door and to the next place we’re going.
Colleague is on the road too, she’s working remotely from car and field.
It’s a little frenetic, yet we can style you for your busy days too.
Closing in on 4th of July weekend and we’ve been in the office mixing it up at work:
pairing a striped shirt with a striped pleated shirt.
tying said shirt at the waist, who cares, we’re in the creative field.
carrying two bags, one small, one tote.
wearing chic sandals to attorney meetings, again, who cares, creative field.
kind of messy hair, summertime, almost 4th of July weekend.
We’re working on adding ‘work hard have fun stylists’ to our New York state team and beyond and sharing with clients how to mix up their wardrobes. You don’t need a ton of stuff, simply some good stuff and to mix it up.
Second day of summer 16 and like women all over we’re juggling multiple gigs.
Checked into the Waldorf NYC last week Tuesday early morning and barely left the hotel until late Thursday afternoon. For day-long meetings wore a dress each and every time. Nothing easier than a dress when you’re always in a rush. Ordered lunch in, room service for one in a city of culinary opportunity. Needed some down time.
Flew back to BUF with oldest NYC daughter on Thursday and helped her prep a summer country weekend for her city friends, about 40 of them. We did the usual, mac and cheese, chicken and burgers, salad, roasted potatoes and asparagus on the grill, (no more room in the oven), and cookies.
Love the work mode and the mom mode, just keep going. Good clothes help, for sure. 🙂
dance party in the kitchen always
funny bikini cookies, it was a pool party after all
For those following along on the blog Wednesday night’s event with Wendy Selig-Prieb to help WNY Women’s Foundation at Albright-Knox Art Gallery, stunning success, two standing ovations, and over-sold. Thank you Wendy, proper post coming soon once the professional photos hit the email feed.
We’ve been a little on the down-low the last week, event prep takes a lot out of us and a little event let-down always slides in. Day of event? No wine at lunch. Day after event? Yes, wine at lunch, and then again at dinner. 🙂
For dinner out after wine at lunch wore new piece from Summer 16, a long jacket, and once again styled as a dress. It can all be blur. Love it when you can mix and match separates and get out the dressed well and quick. Black always makes it easy when you’re time stressed, promise, it was color and pattern for the big event.
Today it’s Friday, TGIF, and I’ve missed blogging, can’t do it all, all the time. Wine at lunch? Yes, most definitely sometimes. 🙂
Have a great weekend all. xoxo
ps. We’re back in the office full tilt until we head to NYC mid-June. Working to help women feel good in their clothes one outfit, one piece, one day at time.
For prep work wore what I had, leather culottes, husbands shirt, and oblong scarf tied at the neck, kind of flowing out back. Love mixing navy and black, and the skinny kind of scarf around the neck is a bit of trend.
If you’re in BUF and you want to join the fun, it will be the place to be, call Catherine at 716-887-2616 tomorrow between 9 am and noon and she might just get you in. 🙂
Stopped in at husband’s office today and he said, ‘wow, you look like you’re working’. 🙂
Yes, and that’s a good thing. Even better when you get to wear full on denim and bronze footwear. 🙂 Full disclosure, we were doing inventory, and packing, and shipping out to multiple states.
Still at it, and posting this during a quick little break.
Can’t help myself with the emojis, working with beautiful women and beautiful clothing is a very good gig.
We love to every day dress. Hump day everyone! xoxo
ps. Even with denim wear your good lingerie, what are we all saving it for? Thank you Lace & Day.
love that in my professional life I get to wear things like denim, and a suede shirt, and suede sandals, thank you Worth New York.
thinking that while we love deeply things that are dark, like coffee, and mostly black clothes, red wine, and chocolate, that it’s a good idea to always add color, something maybe like this poppy suede shirt. 🙂
Met with a client last week in suite 101, that’s what partner and I decided today to call our work space proper moving forward, and was hoping she would add some color to her wardrobe. She lit up when she put on a jacket in canary yellow, we settled of course on navy, for the time being. 🙂
Every day dress, let’s all add a little color. xoxo
And, to confuse it again, loving this white and green in the garden, oh, joy.
Clients tell me they gravitate towards the same look, again and again. We say, love, wear, repeat. When you find what works, do it over and make it better.
For trunk today wore a variation of yesterday’s theme and the day’s before: this time a new kind of funky white pant, black bodysuit, again, and black jacket. Block heel white shoe boots provided a little leg lengthening, always welcome, and the camel bag added a third color, you know, third time’s the charm.
As we love work, food, family, and good clothes (and not in any particular order), dinner tonight was more of the same; a roasted vegetable, fresh greens, and lean protein on the grill. Yes, dill relish and ketchup add texture and depth.
If you’d like to add to your wardrobe rotation, visit us for an in person or online styling session at www.worthnewyork.com/rebecca-collins or www.worthnewyork.com/michelle-capizzi. We’re working trunk all this week through Thursday April 28th and then again May 10th – May 12th. Online, anytime. 🙂
Every day dress, variation of a theme, good clothes, good food. xoxo
Even the garden likes variation of a theme by self-seeding itself.
Professionally, we do four seasonal trunk shows a year. Helping women find clothes they feel and look great in is a pretty good gig. 🙂
When in trunk mode our desk is usually crowded with lots of tech stuff, empty wine and water glasses, and a bowl of dark chocolate m&m’s. There’s a small love seat, with a tea-table, topped with fashion books and flowers.
You’ll find us probably dressed in a column of black; tank, black leather skinnies, and a neutral suede shoe, all the better to try different combinations on.
Today we were loving a white stretch denim modal sleeve jacket, and then to switch it up the heather natural embroidered poncho, both from Worth New York Summer 2016.
After a day of dressing others, dinner needs to be quick.
