gypsy

Dress: Vintage. Boots: LF (also sold on Solestruck). Chunky winter headband: Etsy here
***
If there's one thing I love to wear now for Autumn, it's velvet. This off shoulder taupe maxi had my name all over it. I'll wear it when it's colder over thick tights and a skinny black polo neck. Stupid high platforms optional till I concede to something less vertical.
I can't do the headband thing but this chunky version sent from my girlfriend works and makes a change from brimmed hats. (Was this post really the last time that I wore a headband here??). Either way I loved hers so much, she sent me this one in charcoal.

  9. I am big on textures, but velvet isn't generally one of them. However, you ROCK it and make this tricky textile look gorg! Love the second last pic - so fierce!

  19. Hey Karen - maybe this one should be for Michael - but how do achieve that glow from the light behind you - from the window...it looks dreamy! Is it exposure on the camera or is it done in editing the photo after?

    Thanks

  35. Karen, I'm a new follower and obsessed with your blog. As a fellow NYer I thought I knew all the hot shopping spots, but alas I've been proven wrong. Let's exchange notes on boutiques in the city - maybe I can show you some new gems.

    In the meantime, I love your champers post from last new years - it's so inspirational.

  63. That’s some really good info. I found Teeth Whitening .net and they have been amazing. The results are incredible, their price is unbeatable, and they even give me free gel when I recommend other people. If teeth whitening isn't enough, they also do Press-On
    Veneers    . Check them out.

    psst: If you call them can you give them my name?
