Hi there!

I had some fun on a recent return to LA shooting this look. A go-to fashion staple of mine is the band tee, and my Tom Petty t-shirt pictured is a favorite of mine. It’s handmade (distressed) by Tasch NYC, a New York handmade all-woman company! I’ve blogged about them before in another 70s bell bottom, velvet platform, faux fur jacket look shot in Manhattan, where I featured her Janis Joplin tee.

I styled the t-shirt with my LoveShack Fancy eyelet skirt, small Parisian boutique combat boots which are exact Balmain dupes, and my beloved oldie-but-goodie Topshop faux fur teal jacket. My Gucci GG Marmont Velvet Shoulder Bag matches the coat so well, so I chose that to finish off the look!

Life’s too short not to have fun with fashion:)

Hi there! 

This week is devoted to the classic Rock & Roll band tee. I worked with designer Tasch on this post. I just love her stuff since she repurposes a classic band tee. In this look she has added holes and burnt others into the oversized black Nirvana tee I’m wearing. I styled it with my Blank NYC vegan leather leggings, H&M metallic ankle booties and Bebe leather moto jacket, finishing it off with my new YSL medium Kate purse in all black. 

I love the way a band tee can add edge to any outfit, and since this t-shirt is oversized I wanted to pair it with a legging and jacket and add an ankle boot. The all black edge gets funky with a metallic boot which is a huge trend at the moment. This classic yet edgy look is timeless. 

Hope you are having a groovy weekend! 

Xo, 

Carolina

Tasch Fashion Show and lookbook Shoot

Hi there!

I recently had the opportunity to model for Tasch NYC's Fall 2016 look book shoot and fashion show just following fall fashion week this Spring and it was so much fun! The two looks you see above are part of the newest line, of which we are getting a sneak peek since it is brand new clothing soon to be available for ordering. 

I really loved the sequin detail on the dress as well as the see through mesh front and back design making the dress appear to be strapless. The outdoor sunset in Central Park made for a beautiful setting to shoot the purple with gold sparkle accents as well, as you can see below with the sun setting on the water.  This plum hue is so perfect for spring or fall!

Tasch NYC is a New York based contemporary luxury womenswear brand made for women by women in New York with love.  Tasch herself beyond being very talented is also petite, so her clothes are made with petite figures in mind too, something I find to be lacking in luxury contemporary womenswear. Clothes are made to order right here in NYC.  I love buying local!

Xo,

Carolina
