Velvet & Suede in New York

Here it is! My first ever outfit post in New York!

You might be wondering where I am. For one thing, the streets here  are wide and there’s no traffic anywhere. How can this be New York???!! The reason for this is because I’m actually at the outskirts. For our 2nd day, we decided to stay in Woodbury for some good old outlet shopping first before we face the hustle and bustle of New York City. Now, as much as I love the city, I can never say no to great deals. Balenciaga, Jimmy Choo, Versace, Theory, Marni, Marc Jacobs, Tory Burch, Prada and so much more–all at special prices with extra discounts because July 4th was just around the corner. AHHHHHHHH! ATTACK!

As I always say, when it comes to shopping, you dress for comfort. Get your favorite flats out and put on a fuss-free outfit to get the job done. Say goodbye to your heels for now. You’ll be thanking me later once you get yourself a new pair!

On to my outfit! My top is actually made of velvet with little gold dots on it. If it were Chinese New Year, I’m in for a lucky year! Anyway, as with all velvet pieces, my top is a little metallic so I paired it with an even more metallic skirt. This skirt is actually repeat performance. If you’re a regular on my blog, I’m sure you’ve seen this skirt before.

To liven up my outfit, I got my favorite blue suede shoes on. No really, it’s really suede. I’m not just quoting Elvis here. (Yes, we’re close like that. First name basis, yo!) Added cute gray socks to them too for a little quirkiness and to soften the transition from metallic gray to blue. Now, time to pose with a little peace sign and I’m ready to fly to Korea! Haha I kid. I’m starting to get foolish and random again so I’m going to end this post here. :)

    Hi Camille! Aside from your outfit… I also love your hairbun! Did you do this on your own? Looks very neat! I hope you could make or post photos of step by step procedures in doing your perfect hair bun! Thanks! ;)

    Ah, I’m so glad you go to go to Woodbury Commons! It’s probably my favourite outlet centers out of the ones I’ve visited on the East Coast and definitely the one I frequent the most, haha. All the textures together in your outfit are really nice and I like the bright pop of colour from your shoes. xx

    I saw you that day In Woodbury. You were coming inside the Lacoste shop with your mom as I was going out. I should have asked for a photo with you but I remembered too late.

    I really love it when you go random in your blog posts. It’s too cute and funny. How I wish you’d do the peace sign in one of your outfit photos, and post/dress like a Korean.

    Gorgeous!! Ok the first thing that I thought of when I saw that red top of yours was BIRTHDAYS!! Chinese birthdays = Red!! We, Chinese people would just walk in the restaurants and wear different shades of red. It’s like our costumes haha :))

    It’s obvious that you’re a huge fan of Balenciaga. Is there any brand you also religiously collect aside from it? I want to see you in heels while posing in the streets of New York! Is there any look wherein you wore heels? :D Can we also expect look shots with Times Square as the background? haha! I wish one day before 2012 ends, you’ll take us to Japan! Any plans of coming there?

    Reply
    • itscamilleco

      Hmmm I don’t think so :) OMG heels in NYC? The long walks made this impossible haha! I wasn’t able to take look shots in Time Square as well because there’s just too many people :) No plans yet for Japan but I hope I can go back there again!

    I’m such a fan of Balenciaga bags but I can’t really tell which colors I want. I like this one that you are using. Would you mind telling me the color and kind of bag it is? Thank you soooo much, Camille! :)

      I’m not so sure about the color but this is the Giant Covered Hardware Velo I think :)
