Claire’s Life: Stuart Weitzman’s Spring 2012 Collection Party with The Man Repeller and Solange Knowles


Yesterday I was invited by the lovely folks over at Stuart Weitzman to a spring shopping event hosted by blogger Man Repeller and dj’ed by Solange Knowles. I’m a fan of Stuart Weitzman shoes (my Snakeskin Platswoon pumps are a fave) and always love a chance to hang with fellow bloggers and Fashion Bomb friends, so headed uptown with Jihan to take a look at the brand’s latest offerings:








A quickly found a few lustworthy shoe styles, including these metallic tipped ‘Capsize’ heels (worn by both the Man Repeller aka Leandra Medine and Solo herself in pink and green respectively)…

…along with a plethora of brightly colored wedges, glittery peep toes, and flat sandals.








Cute, right?

After ogling the shoes, I of course said wassup to Solange…

And also met Man Repeller for the first time.

She remembered me from a few tweets during Fashion Week (we were both running late to the Michael Kors show–I think we both missed it, too). Ah, Fashion Week memories.
At any rate, it was a chill night, so I slipped on my ‘editor’s’ uniform of a blazer and pencil skirt:

Y’all know I love me some Helmut Lang, so splurged on the brand’s ‘Era’ blazer (Cassie wore it here; I also included it in this Style Inspiration. Yes, I end up buying stuff I blog about all the time).

I balanced it all out with a pencil skirt from Club Monaco, along with my favorite Gianvito Rossi for Altuzarra wedges.

I kept the black/white theme going with a Barbie/Chanel t-shirt I scored at Kiliwatch in Paris, then added pop with Ruby Woo lipstick. I actually meant to grab my black bag, but was in a rush, so threw everything in my ‘summer’ tote: a Stella McCartney Falabella with silver hardware.

The tote is brown, but to me it looks a little gray. Yeah, it doesn’t really ‘match’, but I figured I could rock with it.

And there you have it.
