Paint it Black

With New York Fashion Week only days away, it’s hard not to get excited by the influx of über stylish women that are about to descend on the city. Every season brings with it new trends, but I love how a basic black ensemble never goes out of style.

I adore that first photo.

11 Marianne { 02.05.10 at 4:18 am }

I agree! You just can’t go wrong with black. I’d actually claim that it’s bullet proof :)

BTW, Your blog is great. I love it, try to read it every day!

Black is basically half of my wardrobe. I really like that second picture, the makeup is so intense!

13 Kristina @ Pretty Shiny Sparkly { 02.05.10 at 4:48 am }

Lovin those shoes…

14 Snapshot Fashion { 02.05.10 at 4:54 am }

i love those black heels!
i have to admit…about 65% of my wardrobe is black. it just always goes with everything and is so practical and stylish.

15 Helena { 02.05.10 at 4:55 am }

I love how the ‘basic black’ ensembles anything but basic! I guess black just makes everything look classic and slick.

16 Sadie at heyMamas { 02.05.10 at 4:59 am }

I live the first picture and that could just as well be me in my all black get up day after day. I work right across from the tents and it is really fun to watch especially when I walk past to get lunch.

Love this post.

I love seeing what people can do differently with black. Oh and the structured shoulders of the girl’s vest on the right of the top picture are awesome.

18 Sarah { 02.05.10 at 6:13 am }

a ridiculous percentage of my wardrobe is black. whenever i find a great piece i always buy it in a fun color and black because it’s so basic and goes with everything.

My favourite city in the world is New York and one of my ultimate dreams is to visit Fashion Week there.
Thanks for this post :)

26 sylvie of silver lining { 02.05.10 at 8:20 am }

I sincerely hope Anna Dello Russo is there and cannot WAIT to see what she wears! As Tommy Ton says “She is her own fashion week!”

28 Lindsay { 02.05.10 at 8:34 am }

I couldn’t agree more! Black is always, always classic, chic, and instyle! Plus it’s slenderizing…. who doesn’t LOVE that?!?

41 Rachel (heart of light) { 02.05.10 at 11:19 am }

I do love black – it’s funny, but don’t you think we see way less of it here in LA than you do in NYC?

42 Target-Addict { 02.05.10 at 11:22 am }

You really can’t go wrong with basic black, can you? ;-)

43 Cassandra Marie { 02.05.10 at 11:53 am }

A nice black outfit is definitely always is style :)

Oh and I just wanted to let you know that I’m have a wine tote giveaway on my blog in case you were interested in entering!

45 TheIconicBlog.com { 02.05.10 at 12:27 pm }

I love the shot with the black handbags! What shows will you be attending in NYC?

46 The Lil Bee { 02.05.10 at 1:00 pm }

That eye makeup is so awesome. I have never managed to do more than a very light smoky eye without feeling too costume-y. It must be so fun to be a model and get to wear such beautiful clothes.

47 pia { 02.05.10 at 1:31 pm }

love love love!

48 Cafe Fashionista { 02.05.10 at 2:21 pm }

55 Elisa @ Globetrotting in Heels { 02.06.10 at 1:56 am }

oh, absolutely. One good thing about NYC is that if you don’t know what to wear, you can never go wrong with black + interesting accessories. Love the dangling chain gloves!!

56 Alex { 02.06.10 at 2:22 am }

58 Kate { 02.06.10 at 3:53 am }

I wish that black rocker chic glitter eye would work for everyday.. its so sexy.. and so overstated. Dream Eye

59 S.Elisabeth { 02.06.10 at 10:06 am }

AHhh love it!!! Can’t help but adore Fashion Week, even if solely for the flock of fashionable women who attend it!

60 KateSouth { 02.06.10 at 4:20 pm }

Black clothes dominate my closet, for sure. I cannot wait for all the runway and runway spectator photos to hit the web! If I can’t be there, immersing myself in the photos is the second best way to experience it. Also, is that last photo Kate Lanphear?

61 Laura { 02.06.10 at 5:13 pm }

If I could wear black all day, every day, I would. I love that first image.
