The weather was a lot milder in New York City yesterday, but I still got my pins out.
I wore my favourite Mary Katrantzou pencil print dress.
You may remember I was mildly obsessed with this dress when it was presented back in February, so I had to purchase this commercial version.
I styled it with my burgundy Zara sandals and a neon yellow Aila ‘Spike Me’ mini bag.
It maybe a mini bag, but it packs a mean punch with those silver studs.
Aila have a range of studded bags which are available exclusively to my-wardrobe US and my-wardrobe.com.

You look amazing FC
I’m loving your shoe choices!
Love love love this look! What an amazing combination with those sandals and that gorgeous bag. Some celebs should take recommendations from you regarding how to style a dress.
Amazing outfit, my favorite look of yours from NYFW
So fun and funky! You look wonderful!
Geez Louise, you just rocked my world with the incredible colors in this print. Swooning over magenta/chartruese combo. And just don’t get me started on those shoes….
love love the colours and the print
HOT! Those colours are great on your skin tone
You look ah-mazing!!!!’ please come to Texas and teach me how to dress like you : )
ha ha…you are so cute x
Wow – ok this is super cool. You rock these colors like nobody’s business. And I love your shoes!!
Wow it’s so refreshing to see you dressed in such powerful colors. LOVE all your fashion week looks. I wish celebs would dress a bit more in these kinds of colors and patterns it would make red carpets so much more interesting! WOW again.
this is my favorite so far!
Needless to say, you look so chic as always.
what really makes me comment is ur wonderful and warm smile. Your smile is just so endearing. I have always felt that your goodness shines through ur smile. Keep up the great work because it inspires hundreds of girls like me to learn and appreciate this fine art called FASHION!!
you are so kind. thanks for your comment x
I mildly obsessed by your style. Loving all the prints, bright colours and great accessorising and fabulous footwear.
thanks
Gorgeous!!
Fabulous — I love that you’re not afraid of color.
definitely my favorite look of yours so far! i love that little bag but where did you put all your stuff (ipad, etc.)? i always carry my life around with me so i have a hard time with tiny bags
I had my bigger bag with me during the day, and a smaller bag for the evening
So adventurous. Ive been loving your style — you don’t play it safe at all! Except for the hair, which looks fine, but i keep imagining you with something freer and funkier. Maybe a more natural hair look? In any case, you rock it!
I ADORE this dress. I aways say that Mary Katrantzou doesn’t get worn enough on the red carpet, and when she does she gets ruined by hideous shoes (I will never forgive LeeLee Sobieski for those ankle boots!). It is a gorgeous colour with your skin tone, and I love that you didn’t play it safe with the bag or shoes, you make pulling off bright colours and loud prints look so easy!
Hope you are enjoying fashion week
Wow, this is a great look, FC! And the accessories complement it beautifully!
Catherine! Just checking to see if you knew — you’re featured on The Cut’s Fashion Week street style! I saw you on there and immediately had to make sure you knew. Stunning. Not many can pull Mary off. The color are great on your skin, fit… everything.
Inspiring!
Thank you…I will check it out
Those colors are so striking. Gorgeous outfit!
With so many red-carpet events to follow, the seasons’s new arrivals, plus looking great for NYFW yourself and maintaining the website, its wonder how you manage it. You’re pretty amazing!
Thanks it’s not easy x
You’re so fierce!
WURK!!!!
Beautiful colors! And I also love your hair!
You look great, Catherine! I love your accessories. Amazing dress and you’re doing it so much justice!
Wow my favorite look of yours EVER! So stunning.
Oh Mylanta, you look amazing!!! It’s hard to rock a Katrantzou, but Miss Catherine, you are killin’ it!
To quote Clueless…”Nice stems!”
merci
So we’re all pretty much in agreement that this goes up for BDOTW, yeah?
ha ha…no way
FC, I don’t say this because I’m a fan of you or the amount of work you put into this website. I don’t say this because you’re the one wearing this dress. I say this because this is literally BDOTY-worthy for me. From head to toe it’s styled perfectly. The fact that you were able to pull off that sharp color-contrast/print with aplomb, that you ROCKED this look, makes it worthy of BDOTY. The hair, the shoes, the bag. Oh my gosh I can keep going. Seriously, this is at least BDOTW for me, don’t be too humble ’cause you’re smokin’
lol but I mean it, you look absolutely amazing and it’s okay to recognize that in yourself.
HAAA….Oh my…that is high praise indeed.
Thanks for that ego boost
This needs to go on BDOTW, I haven’t seen anyone rock M Katrantzou so well since Keira Knightley(back in the day). There’s nothing I dislike about that look.
Btw you were featured in fabsugar best dressed NYFW list I think
oh wow…need to check it out thanks
i felt like you for a second, i saw your dress and i was sure it’s a Mary Katrantzou dress. great look, my favourite so far!
Believe me, if I were a celebrity I’d go straight to you and beg you to be my stylist
By the way, apart from the great ensamble (as always) you look stunning!
Have a nice time at Fashion Week!
many thanks xxxx
Seriously, this is GREAT. I loved the pencil skirt too and think that it is so awesome that you bought it! You styled it to perfection as well. But more than that I just want to compliment how YOU shine through this so well–despite the striking print and bold color combo, you are completely owning this look and pulling it off with high-fashion aplomb! I bet you had people wondering what runway you just stepped off of
Keep enjoying everything to its fullest! <3
Thanks Emma. I always look forward to your comments
