The Comic Book Club is calling all #nerds. Dare to wear your brightest ketchup & mustard colors without fear of rejection this fall season. Check out 3.1 Phillip Lim for Target, which recently hit stores on September 15 to discover hidden gems that remind you of the comic book tears that sculpted your imagination throughout your childhood. 

Followed by my photos is a glimpse of the WGSN Retail Collection Review for the launch of 3.1 Phillip Lim for Target, that I was fortunate enough to have published through assisting WGSN's Associate Editor of Retail, Aria Hughes! It was a unique opportunity that I am forever grateful for. Not only did this report have me on the edge of my seat in anticipation for the collection, but I gained valuable knowledge from an extremely reputable and experienced professional in the field of Trend Forecasting.

T'is the season to get FESTIVE! And hug pine trees... Oh how I miss my PA fields.. Seek out your favorite vintage holiday blouses tucked inside the depths of your hometown closet. Pair sparkle shorts with shiny baroque tops, and always add (faux) fur.

For this dollop of holiday cheer, I shot with Photographer and Dj, Leslie Kirchoff, of Le Fur Coat. Leslie and I worked together on a shoot a while back, and had no problem rekindling over some holiday cheer! We found the perfect sidewalk of trees just outside of Soho.

I have also had the pleasure of kicking off the season by meeting some great new people over eggnog. Above in my Christmas Tree-Huggers photos, I am sporting my newly purchased bracelet by jewelry designer, ChrisHabana.  I love pulling Chris's accessories to style, like I did so on Nikki Reed, so it was such a pleasure and great experience to meet the man behind all of the beautiful, bad-ass pieces! I attended his jewelry-sale eggnog party at his home downtown.

In the midst of my Fabric Styling finals madness, I am focusing my spirits on all of my exciting holiday festivities quickly approaching. I have a few outings with friends planned, as well as a beautiful vacation over New Years, to Yacht Week in the British Virgin Islands.

Things I am looking forward to This Holiday Season!

1) My best friend's Holiday Dinner Party

2) Yacht Week Brunch

3) 5th Ave Lights and Plaza Hotel

4) SantaCon

THE FORECAST: Monsters Inc.

THE FORECAST: Monsters Inc.

Fall = Playtime! Don't let Novelty-Yarn knits scare you away with packed shine, glossy color, beautiful fur, or knit-detailed sleeves. These fancy sweaters have the perfect amount of punch and glam, especially for the Holidays right around the corner! Can you say, cozy-chic?

I paired my Aryn K sweater with a vintage, teal-blue sequin mini dress that I found in Pittsburgh. This dress serves as the perfect skirt to balance out any high-shine threads. Put a spin of monstrosity on your already editorial, outlandish look, by adding a furry friend on top. See Marc Jacobs Fall 2012 ad campaign, top right

THE FORECAST: Fitzgerald Fields Forever

The Forecast: Fitzgerald Fields Forever

With sequins on this rise these past few seasons, they have become one of my favorite staples and main characteristics of my style. What a refreshing statement they make when paired correctly with some of the most masculine, menswear peices on the racks. 

For Fitzgerald Fields, I was inspired by one of my favorite books, and soon-to-be most popular movies to premiere in Spring 2013, The Great Gatsby, starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Carey Mulligan. I wanted to pair together  two standout trends from the 1920s to create a roaring masterpiece: flapper sequins and a menswear suit  blazer  with an  added touch of quirky-green suede.

One of my favorite trips of this beautiful Fall season was to Sleepy Hollow in West Chester, New York, where I spent the day with my best friends on my birthday. I couldn't help but contain my excitement for nature and fields when we came across this awesome shooting location. Definitely a rejuvenating escape from the concrete jungle of NYC.

This forecast will  truly exude your inner Daisy Buchanan mashed with Jay Gatsby swagger, just in time for the premiere of the 21st century.
