The Old New York

via

Start spreading the news, I'm leaving today! I want to be a part of it, NY! NY!

I love this old-timey vibe!

Outfit Post With Sugarlips Apparel!

Those of you who have been following The Girl In The Check Scarf for a while will know that I generally shy away from posting photos of myself unless I have something awesome, incredible, amazing, or downright fantastic to show you. Well, I think these pictures qualify!  I was so excited and grateful for the opportunity to collaborate with Sugarlips clothing and my good friend Randi. I was a bit nervous about taking photos (I'm a far cry from Gisele) but Randi did a superb job photographing the look and I couldn't believe how well the photos came out. 

Sugarlips (our wonderful new sponsor) sent me their Blooming Gardenias skirt with the intention that I put my own spin on it. My style is far from girly, so I toughened things up a bit with wedges, a leather jacket and some shades. I really loved the rocker look, and I thought it contrasted well with such a feminine, flowy skirt! The asymmetric hem is a nice detail, too- it makes the skirt really fresh and very on-trend. I'm really considering wearing it to fashion week!

Again, a huge thanks to Randi Butler Photography and Sugarlips.com! Heck, maybe I'll even do outfit posts more often. What say ye? 

You can see more of Randi's work by checking out her website, and be sure to show Sugarlips some love on facebook and twitter!

Checking Out Ammara!

I got the chance to check out the fabulous brand, Ammara, while I was at Coterie on Tuesday, and I instantly fell in love with the soft fabrics and fun, feminine dresses and blouses. Not only were the clothes lovely, but the people were even more so. It's a fantastic company! I even got the chance to chat with Ammara Yaquab, the designer of the collection. She was ridiculously nice. Here's some of my favorite things about Ammara's Spring 2012 collection!

I loved the fringe neckline on this dress! Everything about it, the color, the waistline etc. is perfect. I want it!

The petal print on these were sooo gorgeous. I would wear any of these in a heartbeat. I mean, check out that Maxi dress!

 I'm loving the shine in the embroidery!

 The detail on this sleeve was lovely.

Oh my...

This dress just might be my favorite dress in the collection! Leather and chiffon? Can it get any better? Also, it looks just as nice on a person as it does on the model. It's really a show stopping dress in person!

Here are some of my other favorite looks...

Thanks Ammara! Which look is your favorite? (I know, it can be overwhelming to pick just one. But take a deep breath and concentrate.) You can check out their site at www.ammaranyc.com

The mix of prints in this collection is dynamic! I want every look! I really love that there were so many pencil skirts on the runway for this fall.

Latest Obsession: Sheer

I'm really loving the concept of a sheer jacket! (as long as there are clothes underneath, that is.)

This look couldn't be more perfect! I love the color scheme, and how the white shirt keeps the whole thing from being too monotone. The pants are fantastic as well.

Right on Trend

This look seems so... now. Very cute!

*Sigh*

How is this dress not stunning? The look as a whole is lovely too.

Latest Obsession: Pink Blazers

There's something so girlie about a pink blazer. I will be needing one.

It's Grey and Perfect.
