One of my favorite figures in the fashion industry to follow is Erika Bearman, the PR girl for Oscar de la Renta. Can you imagine working right alongside such a legend? Erika tweets and tumbles on behalf of the brand, giving us insight into the world of working for a high-end fashion label.
Following her Tweet and Tumblr streams, you learn about the swanky events she attends, litle tidbits about Oscar (for example, he loves Indian food from Tamarind on 22nd St.) — OH and her CLOTHES!
Of course, this girl has serious style. And though we may not be able to enjoy such high-end luxuries, we can take inspiration from her Carrie Bradshaw wardrobe. (PS — Most of her personal style pics are self-taken with Instagram — thoughts on Instagram blogging in the fashion world? I think she pulls it off, but can everyone?).
Fur + Polka Dots — Two trends I’m loving this fall!
I just love how she wore a swanky evening gown with some nerd glasses. And her perfectly tousled hair gives her sleek gown some edge!
I adore a belted sweater dress for winter. Oh, and do be sure to take note of her nail and lip color here!
And to glean some style hints from Erika, here’s how to get her look for less:
