Inspired By...NOMIA

NOMIA is the brainchild of NYC based fashion designer Yara Flinn. The brand has been around for five years and has attained a great deal of success. NOMIA embodies the laid-back, edgy yet classic New York girl that resides in all of us, regardless of our global location. In an interview with Garance, Yara described the NOMIA girl as:

"Confident in the sense that she doesn’t think too much about what she’s wearing but more about expressing herself. She has a mix of feminine and masculine, edgy but still classic at the same time."

I definitely see how the pieces exemplify Yara's description. My favorite pieces are the Asymmetrical Wrap Dress (first row, last column) and the Washed Silk Shirt-dress (second row, first column). I would have loved to buy the Silk Shirt-dress for my formal but it's only available in size six--two sizes too big. Maybe I should just wing it and use a belt to keep it chic?

This is for all of the sneaker fans out there. Patrick Mohr is a German designer, who collaborated  again with k1x, a basketball wear company, to make their latest sneaker collection, the mk3. The trademark wooden triangle can also be worn as a broach. The ankle straps add another cool dimension to the shoe. Other versions of the sneaker were the mk1, which came in black leather, and the mk2 came in nude.

Suggestion: Transition in Spring by mixing light and dark together. Pair airy and simple clothing with more structured pieces in your wardrobe to create a balance between playfulness of summer and the sober ambiance of winter.
