Boston: Saks Fifth Avenue: Tabitha Simmons

It's always an honor to photograph a designer  and Tabitha Simmons, Vogue contributing editor, shoe designer and British Fashion Award winner, was especially lovely at Saks Fifth Avenue, Boston. Very gracious, warm and approachable. I loved that while she was meeting fans, mingling and signing her fabulous Bonais or Haydens she was also taking iPhone photos to Instagram later!

The atmosphere had a bit of British influence with beats spun by ESC Music Design/Mario Papathanasiou and a sumptious afternoon tea catered by Capers Catering.

But let's not forget about the fabulous shoes....

Boston: Neiman Marcus, TRENDS for Fall!

I don't know about you, but I'm ready for fall!

Especially if RED is the new neutral!

Come join me as I photograph the opening night of the Neiman Marcus Fall Trend Event, where everything from rocker chic to a bit of tomboy, to the pointed toe (yes, it's back!) to scaled-down handbags, and red as the new neutral are coming at you this season!

Classics like black, navy and animal print aren't going anywhere. As for jewelry, try layering lots of chain-link necklaces and studded pieces. I love that the moto jacket is here to stay, too.

Neiman Marcus personal stylist Elisha Daniels gives a fashion presentation sharing the latest trends for the season, and it's all fabulous!

Come, see....

Boston: Neiman Marcus, AnaMaria Pimental for SPRING!

Is it Spring, yet? Honestly, we're so close, yet so far.

At Neiman Marcus, at least, Spring was in the air, thanks to AnaMaria Pimental who is Neiman Marcus's Fashion Accessories Director. I was invited to photograph her colorful fashion presentation on all the trends coming up this season.

So, what's hot? Blues and oranges! As is, "relaxed chic" all the way down to a studded-toe Miu Miu sneaker!  Also, prints are here to stay, which is good because I'm always a fan of a good dose of flowers.

Some of the highlights included this Judith Leiber William Crystal Frog purse, Charlotte Olympia shoes (the likes of which we've already raved about here) especially the Eiffel Tower sandals and the cute cat-face slippers. So, hooray for a range of flats and heels (like these amazing Alexander McQueen studded booties) for Spring.

And I picked up a fun styling tip for carrying a scarf: wrap it around the handle of your bag (as was done over this beautiful Nancy Gonzalez bag) making it look stylish and also easy to carry.

My favorite had to be this Alice + Olivia's embroidered jacket! How stunning, right? Styled with beautiful jewelry designed by Dina Mackney, the jacket looks polished and colorful!

So, come in from the cold and look ahead to a fashionable Spring with AnaMaria's cheery presentation of pretty looks on the always gorgeous Maggie models: Marie, Lauren, Marta and Amber.

Also, Roger Daltrey from The Who barely escaped my lens as he shopped! Thanks to Elizabeth for pointing him out to me, and to Lei Ann for capturing my photographer's stance!


What are you most looking forward to wearing this Spring?

NYFW Candela SS2013 RTW

I'm such a huge fan of Candela...everything is bohemian and playful, demure and sweet.

Don't you want these beautiful head of braids and those SHOES?

It was nice to see Candela designer Gabriela Perezutti and Ken Downing, the Senior Vice President and Fashion Director at Neiman Marcus.

Here a look at SPRING, at the Candela RTW SS2013 Presentation...

NYC: Paul Mayer Spring 2013

While in NYC a few days ago, I got to take in Paul Mayer's Spring 2013 collection of cuter than cute ballet flats and sneaker style shoes, all in Mayer's signature soft and flexible leathers with adorale prints and cut-outs, some with adjustable bows (love!).

Meeting Paul was a highlight, and tasting his delicious "Titou's Gazpacho" was a true delight; the recipe of which is also available in his latest lookbook, that combines the designer's pretty shoes with his own recipes!

If I'd had more time, I could have spent the rest of the day there!

"Our shoes are modern classics. They’re an addiction. They are truly forever timeless."

San Diego: Seersucker

Something that's perfect for the hot summer months is seersucker material, a light-weight cotton with a ripply texture. A great example is this gentleman spotted at Chocolat in San Diego.

Also perfectly paired with loafers sans socks.

Is this something you or your man would wear? Seersucker works for women, too.

Disney World: What to Pack

I definitely pack a straw fedora whenever I can. It's perfectly suited for any summer vacation and goes well with anything from shorts to dresses. Speaking of shorts, these are coming with me!

Other vacation staples for me? Bright colours and comfy shoes. And, if you're looking for good vacation shoes, be sure to check out Clare's post. I also recommend these.

I'm off to Disney World but you can follow me via Instagram (hoggerandco) or Twitter, as I'll be using both while I'm there!

Boston: DressCode Boston

Had a blast attending Dresscode Boston's Spring showcase at the Intercontinental in Boston. The show featured brands from local faves: Stel's, Unifrom Boston, Ball and Buck and Drinkwater's Cambridge, and was hosted by men's style curator Jeff Lahens. I'm so excited about Dresscode Boston and JL Men's' new logo, which is from Jeff Lahens' Boston Fashion Week show, which I was so honoured to shoot.

Some Instagrams from the evening.

NYC: Over the Knee

Now that the weather's so warm, I'm thankful to be able to put away my boots. Although I have to say I'm really thankful to not have even had to bring out my SNOW boots!

What do you think of the over-the-knee boot and thigh-high boot trend? Are we ready to put them away forever?

As seen in Soho. Also in Soho, Bread.

February: Art to Inspiration

I'm so excited about today's post as it's the first installment of the "Art to Inspiration" project, created by Supal from Chevrons & Eclairs. Every first Wednesday of each month participants produce a post inspired by a work of art as selected by Supal. The collected results will be posted over here.

Today's work of art comes from:

Hiroshi Matsumoto, December 2010 - 4 

I was inspired by the two vibrant patches of blue in this painting. It reminded me of this pair of cobalt hued shoes I bought (a score at $7 from a shoe store in Downtown Crossing) but haven't yet worn. We're seeing cobalt a lot lately; I've worn it before, and now I'm inspired to give these heels a test drive. (Check out my Pinterest for more cobalt inspiration). 

Want to join the Art to Inspiration Project? Contact Supal!
