CFDA/Vogue Fashion Awards: Top Looks

It was a big night for fashion yesterday as Joseph Altuzarra was annouced as the winner of the CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund, after being a nominee last year as well. His brand, Altuzarra deserved this esteemed award for its punchy prints and chic minimalism that few designers can master at once. The runner-ups were Creatures of the Wind and jewelry designer, Pamela Love. Below are the best looks from the red-carpet!

The Wintery Mix: Best Cold Weather Wear


About the only thing about bitter winter weather that I like is that I get to wear lots of cute layers! It's the perfect time to pile on your comfy sweaters, thick scarves, and tall boots. You know you're going to be miserable once you step outside anyway, (especially if you're from DE like me!), so you might as well look stylish. Above are my absolute favorite cold weather items- things that I look forward to taking out of the back of my closet every fall. I also threw in a few other items as well :)



Dark Printed Skirt: Take spring florals down a notch with moodier hues


Knit Headband: Cover your ears with a standout topper


Tweed Chain Bag: So regal and dainty, it will perfectly off set your winter look


Long Coat: Chic and trendy, a below the knee coat keeps your dress/skirt at bay in the wind


Leopard Booties: Boots, check. Lace-up, check. Snow proof, check. Sexy print, super check


Mixed Material Vest: Fur for warmth and leather for flare = a great 2 in 1 deal


Glitter Loafers: Shine like snow in made-for-girls loafers. You'll wear them again and again, I promise


Navajo Top: Be down to earth in a fun and surprisingly neutral print


Brown Leather Pants: You can still rock out in these pants without looking like a poser


Infinity Scarf: Easy to wear (no instructions needed!), and provides optimal warmth. Winning


Suede Gloves: Keep your digits toasty in trendy suede- others will be jealous, guaranteed


Cozy Knit Cardigan: Wrap yourself up in this classic winter staple. LOVE


Teal Earrings: The perfect color that goes with literally everything your wear. So pretty!
