Before jetting off to New York, for a single day, it snowed here in Raleigh. I had to go outside and play. {Vintage coat, Scarf via Marshalls, Coach Sabrina satchel, Joe's Jeans, Timberland boots}
hi darling. ah. im not really liking snow.. now it's just wet snow here.. and none of my shoes like that.. you look lovely. i want that bag! it's perfect.
Love the snow pictures. I really like your jacket and boots. It's been snowing a little up here in Jersey but I can't wait to take pictures in the snow.
im sorry but you have no style whatsoever. I keep looking at your pictures, trying to figure out why you are a well-known fashion blogger, but I just find your style so average...
I love seeing the snow in Raleigh. I couldn't believe it snowed there until I saw the picture my dad sent me on the Iphone. I remember we used to get out of school for an entire week in Raleigh for even the slightest amount of snow. I wanted to say congrats to you for also being featured on this list of World's Top Fashion Bloggers. Naina http://bit.ly/gplB5K
ooooh i REALLY love your jacket! omg we have soooo much snow here! we're like snowed in...it's a bit obnoxious lol and even thought we're a snow-adept city there's so much plowin that hasn't been done so walking down the sidewaslk is like a test in not falling :( Chloe is not impressed either lol! in short....jealous your snow still allows you to wear nice boots...meanwhile we're stuck in "practical" snow boots aka sorel-ish types...til March. Ugh! lol!
@ Lauren M: I'm actually reading this because I believe it is logical to read both what you like and dislike. Fashion has a personal take for every single person, and if you obviously cannot accept a constructive critique, then where in the world are you going to? Seriously, Erika has a few good shots with great outfits, but in this case it is just SO plain, SO average. I am just advising her to take a greater risk as to what she wears, to be creative, and not to just stick with the typical cute Coach bag. And FYI, I know more about fashion than you would ever imagine, I have worked in the industry for top brands for many many years. I KNOW straight away when someone has the potential it takes to make a difference in this world.
You take great staples and make a comfortable, chic look seem so easy and elegant. I saw these photos being shared on some sites -- you seem very loved!! ^_^ GREAT POST and PHOTOS.
Anon: why do you first attack and say such rude/mean things and then come back "diplomatic" just leave already. You know so much about Fashion huh? Why hide behind anonymity? P.S. and F.Y.I. "Fashion is both controversial and subjective". Erika offers inspiration and ideas, outlandish outfits would push me away. And she gets plenty creative too. Maybe you should stay away from Victor & Rolf.. and read Vogue or Marie Claire instead. ;)
Love everything you do Erika you give us normal girls ideas on how to re-work our own closets and when to splurge! ;)
It is irrelevant to anyone what my identity is, I am just letting you know that actually, I have nothing to be jealous about whatsoever. If you consider someone giving an opinion an "attack" or something "rude" well then I'm sorry to tell you that you will be annoyed by what many people say to each other. It is called OPINION. If you are brainwashed by magazines like Marie Claire, it is comprehensible you call yourself "normal" and dislike looks which are out of the set boundaries.
Oh, and I'll stay around for as long as I wish to, thank you very much :)
You sound a little off balance Anon. You attacked by saying she is average and has no style and then come back with a totally different argument. In fact the second sounds more constructive, the first was just plain rude. Read, stay, leave, do what you like, just consider people's feelings foremost.
Jennifer Aniston, Jennifer Garner, those are average dressers. Erika has a great sense of style along with my other favorites Andy and Chiarra. She also seems very sweet and not contrived. HELLLO! That's why she has so many followers. She's not stuck up or a sheep in the crowd.
Erika hope you don't mind my conversation, but I say - keep doing what you're doing. I know you already know you do it well, and congrats again on all your amazing accomplishments and endeavors. Here's to more in 2011.
If you saw my first comment as something offensive, then it is certainly clear our perspective on what is rude is different.
Erika, I am very sorry to say that not everyone will just love everything you do like Lauren does. I hope you understand your blog would be so much more interesting if you took a step out of the box, rather than a continuous set of normal high street fashion shots.
What do you suggest Miss all knowing Anon? What do you want to see? I'm just curious.
I find saying her having no style sense whatsoever is not only rude but ludicrous. Clearly I have some tact. I'm just saying. Think before SPEAKING. Remember Thumper's mother?
I never comment but damn did I feel the need to put my .2c in. Why come onto a site if you don't appreciate all the hard work that goes into each post? These girls, these fashion bloggers don't just run around town with cameras snapping their looks all day long. Meticulous practice comes into play: location, lighting, piecing together the look.. et al. Why attack. Instead cherish the entertainment and inspiration we get from these girls, for free! =)
Be happy, stop bringing people down. If you're unhappy keep it to yourself. Negativity is poison folks.
It's nice to see the positive lights that cancel your negative bulb out.

I need brown boots like those. Will look them up now.

How tall are you? You look so tall in those boots love the peg leg jeans too.

I wish I had snow. I have never seen it in person before. - tess
those pics are so sweet!
