Vaunt & Sol SS15

Back in October, I had the wonderful pleasure of attending Vaunt & Sol's S/S 2015 presentation in the meatpacking district. I absolutely loved what I saw. From the exotic flowers that were placed around the room to the yummy cocktails and mini meringues served, it was the perfect accent to Najva Sol & Nicole Vaunt's femme yet strikingly bold and powerful collection. Take a look...

 Check out the gold & denim pieces to the right--the harem pants were amazing and this photo doesn't do it justice. Not sure what the long ruby flowers were called, but I was obsessed with these arrangements placed throughout the room.

I love the back to this dress from the collection. It's as if someone painted a portrait on a dress. Fine art meets fine fashion. 

Those are the perfect harem pants mentioned previously. I also really like that statement hoodie--very soft denim fabric, so it's very wearable.

 I really liked their outfits. 

 I'm also obsessed with these blouses and the dress. Very Lower East Side chic, but in an honest way. 

This was my favorite outfit--there's such an understated elegance to it that I appreciate. I would add this to my staple wardrobe. Also, those sleeves aren't rolled, they're designed to give that illusion, which is pretty awesome.

Overall, the collection was perfect for the upcoming season and for this city, it's so demure yet badass at the same time, which was unexpectedly intriguing. I also loved the intimate presentation of it--it was nice to escape from the rest of the world for a bit.

BUM-CAKE x By Breanne

We met during fashion week and ever since I tried some of her mini meringue drops that she made for Heart & Noble's SS15 collection, I've been dying to try more of her desserts. Even better, I had the opportunity to collaborate with her on a special project and voila... this clip from "Good Day Chicago" was born! Breanne wore one of our vintage housecoats and baked a cake inspired by us on the Fox News feature "Fashion Inpsired Cakes". The show also features cakes she created based on designs by Vaunt & Sol and Pyer Moss. 

Breanne is a very talented New York City based pastry chef who bakes cakes inspired by fashion. She usually takes a specific design from a collection and uses it to be the focus for the cake she ends up creating. She's super talented and her cakes are absolutely delicious. I was also able to try some of her curry cake, which was another amazing dessert.
