Currently Obsessing Over: My Moda Operandi Wishlist

It’s no secret that I am absolutely obsessed with the only website where you can literally buy straight from the runway–Moda Operandi. Check out your favorite looks on Style.com and buy them a few days later on Moda Operandi…can it get any better? Now that’s fashion forward!

Here are the pieces I’m loving from the currently available Fall 2012 collections on Moda Operandi.

Photobucket Mary Katrantzou

Mary Katrantzou is a designer who has intrigued me the last few seasons. Basing your brand on these crazy prints is quite a risk…but there’s people like me who can’t get enough of them! So, does anyone have $31,000 to spare so I can get this dress? 🙂

Helmut Lang

May or may not have already ordered these leggings already…

Proenza Schouler

It’s Proenza…need I say more? Okay I will. That jacket will one day be mine (even if I have to do questionable things to obtain it).

Peter Pilotto

If I can no longer get my hands on Proenza Spring ’10 (best. collection. ever.) Peter Pilotto Fall 2012 is the next best thing. The colors and prints are incredible and I’m loving everything about this outfit.

Photobucket Fendi Ski

Haven’t been skiing in a while, but I’d definitely reconsider if I get to wear Fendi.

Fireworks print…on a top? Sign me up!

Street Seen at NYFW

I absolutely love street style so I always feel very honored when others like what I’m wearing enough to take a photo. Granted I don’t actually enjoy having my photo taken (I always feel awkward) but if it’s about the outfit, I’m okay with it. Thank you to everyone who told me about these! Really excited to share with you…

On Style United (along with an interview–see slides 9 & 10) by Kristin Booker of Fashion Style Beauty.

On Chicago Street Style.com, photographed by Amy Creyer.

Honored to have my photo included with all these amazing bloggers, editors, and more on Refinery29!

Interviewed about my outfit for Glamour.com. (click the image above to watch the video)

This video has nothing to do with me, but hey…I made the cut. (no pun intended)

Okay this was actually on The Cut. Chatting it up with the lovely Mr. Newton.

On Style.it (they must have had a hunch I’m Italian…)

Outside the Christian Siriano show, seen in Time Out New York (click to slides 10-12 to view).

On the YaYa Publicity Tumblr…wearing plenty of neon.

Those photogs can get sneaky…on Vogue.com.

Net-a-Porter Launches Karl Lagerfeld’s New Line, KARL

If you’re Net-a-Porter obsessed like me, you probably know by now that Karl Lagerfeld is launching his accessible line, KARL, to be exclusively sold on the luxury site today!

To celebrate the launch, Net-a-Porter has gone above and beyond to make this extremely special. The coolest part is that there will be 5 pop-up window shops that will be revealed in select locations worldwide. Using the NET-A-PORTER KARL app, visitors can shop and win by scanning products using their iPhone or iPad. In addition, visitors to the window shop will receive limited edition KARL goodie bags and t-shirts, with the first 50 visitors receiving a pair of iconic KARL leather gloves or a collar from the collection. Here’s where it’s happening…

Those of us who can’t make it to one of the locations can join online at Net-a-Porter.com. You can watch exclusive video footage of Karl Lagerfeld, view the full collection for the first time and find out the winners of the “Karlified” app and ‘Find Karl’ maze game.
