Welcome back! It’s been FOREVER since we were here on Thefashionguitar together, but I’m so excited that we are, and even more to share our first “Home story”, created in partnership with Maisonette.
After moving into our new apartment in our favorite neighborhood on the UES, October last year, our first job was to get both childrens bedrooms ready. We’ve moved many times, within London, from London to New York City, and within New York City, but we’ve always made it a case to – no matter how the rest of the apartment looks – to finish the children’s bedrooms first! Although, this is actually the first time they are in their own room, until this apartment they’ve always shared a bedroom.
I want to start with the following – before diving into the world of “Fashion Discovery” because Moda Operandi is, after all, the platform for Fashion Discovery – Moda Operandi is the only online platform that offers straight off the runway pre-ordering. This means that we as customers can make sure to actually get our hands on the most-wanted, most-coveted, and ultra-trendy pieces that everyone wants to wear next season. This is an extremely smart and exciting way to shop, but of course, you’ll need to be confident about what’s going to be “hot” next season, and above all, you’ll need to have the patience for it to arrive, because it’s not a next-day delivery situation. Your next season’s person will get to you, but only just before the new collections hit the stores…
Tommy and I go way back. Back to some of my first fashion memories. I remember I received a Tommy piece when I was pregnant with James 7 years ago and thinking it was one of the first designer pieces he will ever own!
In a world of online shopping, endless love for the latest, but a deep desire for comfort, too, I find a gem. Not really hidden to be honest, because it’s been there for a while, yet I never considered it to be my “fashion destination”, until I did…
When KHAITE launched in 2016, it immediately grew on me and became one of my favorite brands. With their dreamy dresses and tulle tops, it was just in line with my forever obsession over the “runaway-bride” look – aka pretty dresses and sneakers. However, with its core of reimagining of American sportswear, it didn’t come as a surprise that their denim and cashmere sweaters turned out to be a dream, too. Designed in New York City and made in Los Angeles, KHAITE Jeans are the ultimate effortless piece in my everyday dressing. I mean, I’ve mentioned it many times before; I do absolutely want to pick up my kids in a little couture gown and a pair of sneakers, but in reality, that will not happen for a VERY long time, if ever. LOL. So yes, in my day-to-day dressing, a good pair of jeans is a must, and right now, KHAITE serves my denim needs in the best way possible.
