NYFW Hat Attack and More Shoes!!

By dianiliving | Published September 18, 2012

I headed out Monday for another shoe buying spree, and to balance it all out, I decided to see what one of my favorite milliners had to offer for Spring 2013. As for me, I sported neutral tones with a pop of color to keep me rooted to the ground!

Isabel Marant jacket

MiH t-shirt

Mother jeans

Oliver Peoples aviators

Isabel Marant heels

Anya Hindmarch bag

For Spring 2013, n.d.c made by hand has hit their homage to the classics out of the park! I predict big things for these ankle boots, and the burgundy Oxfords are a perfect blend of old world style meets urban hip! Love!

And if n.d.c made by hand’s footwear makes you long for a bonnet to top it all off, then Eugenia Kim’s classic, sophisticated, and utterly wearable sun hats, make the perfect book-end. From street to chic, I predict Spring 2013 will prove to be one of Eugenia Kim’s best yet!

Loeffler Randall Loving

By dianiliving | Published September 13, 2012

I’ve admired Loeffler Randall for a long while and she definitely speaks my language. When she started her shoe collection in 2005, she was looking to design with understated elegance, feminine touches and quality in mind. In June 2007, Jessie Randall was honored with the prestigious CFDA Swarovski Award for Accessory Design, cementing her as one of the top shoes brands in the world. She’s refined, sophisticated and rock star cool and her spring 2013 collection will be the perfect addition to DIANI’s shoe boutique. Oh, and her new bag collection! We’re all over them and obsessed.

Day 3 look – NYFW

This style has tons of compartments for iPad, iPhone, receipts, money AND, on the back, there’s two straps to tie onto your bicycle handlebars. Now, you have to get your bike out of the garage! Did you ever think a bag would make you want to exercise? Me either.

A wallet with all the handy credit card slots and zipper section AND, a removable strap to make a cross body bag! Genius!

And, we’re off again! Another cab ride to our next meeting…

But we still make time to smell some roses along the way.
